Ironic that this is being removed only two weeks before the Rugby World Cup kicks off.
Spoiler for s1ep10:
Half the fun of the rugby games is trying to spot all the different Star Trek actors in the stands, and all the alien and Middle Earth races represented. Well…
…the fan who’s been hidden behind the Gandalf 3:16 sign at every match finally lowers it, and it’s William Shatner. He yells “Gentlemen, you’ve earned a second season!”
Since he and director Peter Jackson are bankrolling the series, this carries a lot of weight.
