No, hadn’t seen it. Hmmmm…  
STIV was too obvious an answer for the Dumbass reference, eh? It ought to be a Jeopardy! category. “I’ll take ‘Dumbass References in Popular Culture and Geekery’ for $400, Alex–you dumbass.”

It wouldn’t be that great even if you were awake and pain-free. That’s why we’re not talking about it no mo’.

I didn’t see this episode. There was some special about St. Judes on instead. Look, I know you have cancer and I’m sorry that you’re bald but don’t come between a geek and his Trek, damn it!

By the way, Nicholas Meyer wrote for both movies. He had to consciously steer clear of lots of territory between the movies. It’s in Movie Memories. Hence my paraphrasing.

Steer clear of obvious similarities, I mean. Territory? Wha?

I think the two beagles who play Porthos are allowed to walk across the keyboard and write quite a few ENT eps.

If you’re tired and sore, it must have been at least **pretty** good!

Well, after getting yourself tired and sore, I can kinda understand how even T’Boobs might lose her appeal. (Until you recharge your batteries, that is.)

Okay…Hey, Ensign Cutler (first season, ENT) is on **The Pitts** now. And Crewman Daniels turned up on **John Doe**.  
Why do I retain such things?
