Oh good, it's not just me!
TNG's "Thine Own Self" comes to mind - I guess because it has some similarities to "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood".
Also...dare I suggest that "Move Along Home" has a certain Whovian energy to it?
Not on the list, but the first episode that came to my mind was "The Fires of Pompeii" - it's basically a Prime Directive story.
You're probably right, but...is that a reason not to try? Manitoba is currently the front line when it comes to preventing or delaying further westward migration.
I'd be pretty surprised if that scene doesn't play differently when in context - the hairstyle changes alone suggest that this is possibly (probably?) a dream sequence or something similar, reflecting Spock's own insecurities back at him.
And how funny is it that there's an episode of Star Trek named after a Batman movie?
First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Secondly, you knew he was receiving care from trained experts. And you showed up to be with him, which is a hell of a lot more than some people would be able to do.
In my experience, when it comes to the death of a loved one, there will always - always - be regrets of this nature. You'll always be searching for the thing you could have done differently, or the thing you did "wrong." It takes a long time to get to, "I think I can live with it."
Or, to mix episodes, it is possible commit no mistakes and still lose.
Yeah, it will be a shock if they don't clean house once the Olympics are over.
The pair then told the story of how Paul Giamatti was cast as the season 1 villain:
Alex Kurtzman: So this happened because he was doing press for The Holdovers, and when he was asked about the part that he would most want to play, he said, “I want to play a Klingon on Star Trek.”… So we called his agent and said, “Was that a thing he just said, was that a bit?”… And she called back and she said, “He’d love to sit down with you. We got on a Zoom with him and he cried. He was so excited at the prospect of playing in the world of Star Trek and he was talking about how meaningful it was him… It was just one of those moments where you’re like, “Oh, one of the greatest actors in the world, and he really wants to come join us.” So that was pretty amazing.
Noga Landau: He also chose which role he wanted to play. We came to him and we said, “You could be this guy or that guy, or that guy.” And he thought about it and he came back and told us that the part he plays is the one he wanted.
Alex Kurtzman: We thought it was going to be like one episode because his schedule is so busy, and he was like, “No, I want to play the villain.” We’re like, “That’s the whole season.” He was like, “Great, let’s do it!”
Love to see it.
Nothing says "not interested" like pulling the comment car over to tell the world.
And yet here you are...
I'm not about to rewatch "Fear Her" to confirm, but I'm pretty sure he was on-screen.
