    Agreed: "In some ways he was reminiscent of my father" is a long way from "hey he looks like my dad!"

    Spock should have said that about the Romulan Commander in Balance of Terror. :rommie:

    It would have to be with an Impossible Whopper

    What the heck are you talking about?

    PS: you don’t even have the lyrics to the jingle right.

    The Whopper was sold at Burger King, not McDonald's. ;)

    This is getting a little heated. I don't see where's the beef...

    Speak plainly and clearly, instead of in cryptic nonsense.

    You're the hero we need right now, not the gyro we deserve.

    Not quite the usual whopper, though given the length of the scene it sorta is... but in "Tomorrow is Yesterday":


    Kirk the know-all-do-all micromanager is at it again. I'm amazed he didn't snap at Spock (in the way he did at McCoy in "The Man Trap") over either his boring expositiondump to Kirk over projectiles possibly being nukes cause you know Kirk's bottling it to keep Spock's (no such thing as) pride up, and/or having to ask to turn off the bloody beam since it's projecting its beam into empty-space-until-a-hapless-buzzard-flies-by... ouch!



    1:18-3:18 is the time frame in which that tractor beam is running like a bunny-sponsored battery... a whole 4%, or just under a twentieth of an episode...

    Okay, that is quite enough of these off-topic, nonsense posts.

    The next time you do this, you’ll get a formal warning for spamming.

    Moving on.

    We have been making hamburger joint jokes... Whopper = Burger Kings famous burger. Then we played around with McDonald's, and I threw in an 80s Wendy's joke that I think people missed.

    Not spam... just some silliness based on. The title.

    I diagree. You can go "infinite" while still having possibilities excluded. Just because the umbrella "infinite" includes variations that will literally never end, it does not necessarily include all variations. just endless ones.

    By definition, endless variations include all variations. They are, after all, endless.

    I really don't see it that way. I'm reminded of the old joke that an infinite number of chimps banging randomly on an infinite number of typewriters, for eternity, will at some point turn out the complete works of Shakespeare.

    Of course they wouldn't. I'd say that just because something is endless does not mean it will do everything.
