...kind of fandom, that might've loved seeing more of the things they'd been fanatic about getting added in new ways. Even Shatner had made the joke about it on SNL, that the fandom was wildly misunderstood. You could understand them maybe not entirely knowing how to read that room, & just...

...be one rotating segment on The Price Is Right. Aided by a hostess named Ginger in a sexy jockey costume (Dian Parkinson), Ted laughs at scripted jokes as he delivers them while greeting the contestants--Elliott Jensen from Denver, Colo. (Frederic Franklyn); Mrs. Charlotte Gruen of Pasadena...

Unfortunately that's not how it worked in TOS; the handles were clearly optional. It made for a nice cute joke, but it wasn't good continuity. Just one of the many things that later productions got wrong about the original series. Don't get me wrong; I really love Trials & Tribble-ations and...

Oh, my bad. Jokes translate terribly on screen sometimes

Over the years, my impression of Six-Million Dollar Man was that it started out cool like James Bond, became kind of boring and mainstream in the middle, and then got cool and comic-booky again at the end. My timeline was obviously a little off, but this was always the episode I remembered that...

...time I've heard that! True story: Some years ago, when I was on the Warner Bros. lot working on the novelization of The Dark Knight Rises, I joked to a young staffer that I had been writing BATMAN tie-ins "since Michelle Pfeifer was Catwoman." "Wow," she replied, "that was the year I was...

One of the few Ferengi comedy-styled episodes that actually worked for me and felt like it had more than just a ha-ha-bonk joke, "LOOKING FOR PAR'MACH IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES" Somehow holds together a thin plot with all the right elements counterbalancing it and feeling satisfying. It's also...

Kirk was making a joke. He does that.

...one episode of Friends, we see a close-up of Chandler lying awake in bed. Camera pans over to find a woman lying in bed next to Chandler (LaffTrak goes wild). When the same shot is viewed in widescreen, the audience sees the woman before Chandler does. The surprise is lost. The joke falls...

The award for Obscure Joke Reference goes to me, if you get it: This episode directed by: Patrick Stewart.

...see it. Archie gets Mike going over remarks about the baby's father being Polish, which takes a strange turn when Mike recites several P-word jokes and Archie, insisting that he'll defend his grandson from such remarks, chastises Mike for knocking "minororities". They change the subject to...

Do we know if it's going to be a whole episode? A short part of the episode could certainly be funny. An April Fool's Day or a Captain Pike Day would be cute.

...he was just so way above everyone in TOS and how dare a male character achieved that feat when the females like TOS Chapel is the butt of jokes. I can also use worf/troi and riker/troi to support my kirk/uhura/spock dynamic in kelvin. Worf and Troi were actually kind of compatible they were...

..."the wagon train to the stars", some allusion is inevitable. And good what with this outpost along the Oregon Trail and all...) The usual Q jokes were good. Like or dislike a Q story, if you liked the antics and banter in one, you'll likely appreciate them regardless of where the story does...

I remember flying into Denver in the mid nineties to visit my Mom and Wink and the city was in the middle of one of those inversion layers and driving from the airport to Winter Park on I-70, the city was blanketed in this cloud of smog.

...the air quality was so bad. Thanks to California's strict air pollution controls, the air has improved markedly since then. I do miss smog jokes, though. And while we're on the subject of car-related stuff, here are some features of American cars that I don't miss: Tacky fake wood on the...

He has written a Star Trek novel. (Yes, I am aware that's a different James Gunn. This is just meant to be a dumb joke, that's all). But seriously, Gunn's movies are a great balance of comedy and poignancy which Star Trek could certainly benefit from. Bonus if they include a dance number like...

sorry, let me cut the story shot SNW Season 5 ends by tieing all the star trek together which includes kelvin trek. So spock starts the show with feelings for tpring, burns the bridges with chapel, laan, may be lelia and ends the show having the strongest feelings for uhura but never acting on...

Um, I was just making a joke.

...there as such. I didn't find them funny though and the murder mystery was confusing, boring and identical to Elementary Dear Data for me. The in jokes seemed to come at the cost of a funny story. I loved Bride of Chaotica from Voyager so that would be the model of a funny Holodeck episode for...
