I love the spaghetti brawl between Tom Paris and Neelix. Later they stand stained in front of Janeway who sizes them up.....
I love when characters like Janeway and Torres (who were almost always stoic and focused on the mission) have funny moments like that. It's the same thing with Worf. Theres something so refreshing about it.
I love that, but it is massively let down by Spiner's misinterpretation of the meaning of the first line. You know, with him delivering it like question when it shouldn't be.
Good point. And Spiner evidently interpreted Felis catus as a vocative expression, when it was instead actually simply the subject. It does really throw the whole thing off. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Ode_to_Spot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocative_case https://writingexplained.org/grammar-dictionary/vocative-comma On the other hand, this could be explained as someone else's error, if there were a misplaced comma in Spiner's script, a vocative comma, that he was just obeying.
The coda to Gambit Part II, where Picard orders Data to escort Riker to the brig, and Data plays along, was a comedic high point and spontaneously playful.
The end of the episode where Mrs Troi teaches Alexander to have fun. And they along with Worf and Deanna are in the mudbath. And Deanna has about a half metric ton of hair. Where has she been hiding all of it?
I have colleagues who can change their hair from one day to another between large and bushy, short and smooth, to long and smooth and vice versa, and it looks absolutely real. It would be rude to ask but I’m sure it involves artificial means. So, it’s probably easy to do that on a whim in the 24th century.
Yep! I have a few really nice wigs and extensions if I need them. I also have big hair like Sirtis but I straighten it often. It can look super different from one day to the next.
That was said very Darmok. I propose we adopt it as such a phrase amongst Trek fandom. ‘How was your night?’ ‘Neelix, his room trashed.’ Really?’ ‘Bleeding and out of breathe.’
The end to 'Shades of Grey', which is truly funny and which IMO almost, but not quite, manages to salvage the entire episode. PULASKI: "There may be some residual memory loss. I just want to be sure you still know who you are." RIKER: "Of course I know who I am. I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise." PICARD: "I'm delighted that you're feeling better, Captain. The Admiral and I were worried about you." DATA: "Captain, I do not believe you have the authority to promote me to the rank of Admiral."
