    What about if Spock and Kirk swapped bodies? What if Leonard Nimoy had to play James T. Kirk and William Shatner had to play Spock?

    If Trek never did another bodyswap episode ever again, I'd be pretty much OK with that.

    It was kinda funny with Spock and T'Pring on SNW but I'm not in a hurry to see any more.

    I'm honestly kind of shocked they never did that on TOS.

    Well, they did have a body swap episode, but it wasn't comedic, and it was terrible. It also wasn't Kirk/Spock.

    You know what's funny, I haven't ever watched that episode properly but I saw a bit on TV a few months back and I was actually getting into it. I feel like when I do watch it I'll probably enjoy it.

    ^ Since Lester really WAS a raging lunatic...that's hardly surprising.

    I know, I meant specifically having Kirk and Spock switch bodies.
    Of all the body swap episodes SFF shows have done over the years, Farscape's Out of their Minds, and Futurama's The Prisoner of Benda are my favorites.

    Imagine TNG doing a body swap, all caused by Wesley. Beverly and Picard swapped bodies....

    Roddenberry would have made that creepy AF.

    Not a Criminal Minds regular viewer, will have Ion reruns on the TV for background noise while working, but am watching Evolution on Paramount+, and it has one of the most annoying tropes -- the bigwig who doesn't like the main characters for no real reason other than to be an obstacle. There's no logical in-universe reason for any of it. Why would you want to shut down/downsize/overrule a team that solves 22 serial killer cases every year for over a decade? Currently they have to deal with an AG who doesn't want them to keep looking into a serial killer on the basis that she already said the case was closed and solved. What?!?!?!

    If Stargate got rebooted would the SGC be under the command of the Spaceforce now?

    While I'm enjoying it a bit, I think it's silly how they emphasized on the threat of the BAU being cut as if it's a new threat, when it was under threat under Hotch- there was a brief arc where someone in the same position gave Hotch hard time like Prentiss is going through.
