Remember when somebody offered an unsolicited opinion about somebody else’s personal problem and it turned out that they were right all along? ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Remember when Magnum wanted Rick and TC to help them with a case, and Rick said Yes but TC said No? At least not until Magnum paid him for the helicopter fuel from the last time. And how about when Higgins sicced the lads on Magnum? That was hilarious! ---

That one time on _Game of Thrones_ where that dude got killed in a sword-fight! ---

> [@terentii](#): > > Like in that episode of _ **The Adventures of Superman** _ where Clark Kent ducked into the storage room and emerged as the Man of Steel! Nah, the better episode was of Smallville, where Clark saved someone with his super-speed (so fast they didn’t even see him!) and got into an argument with Lana. ---

Loved the one where the two Secret Service agents saved the country from the megalomaniac. Or President Grant from assassination. ---

What the heck are you talking about? He made it very clear that it wasn’t _his_ problem; like he said, he has this . . . _friend_ . . . who has a problem. Speaking of solving problems, how about the episode where Commander Spock came up with a logical solution, but Doctor McCoy argued for a more compassionate one, and danged if Captain Kirk didn’t manage to win through with a third option? ---

Yes. That was the one where the final scene took place on the bridge with Kirk in his chair and Scotty, Bones and Spock standing around. Kirk summarized the situation. Bones made a snarky comment, and then Spock raised an eyebrow. ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > The episode of Bewitched when Samantha twitches her nose? A classic!

I think you’re confusing it with the one where Aunt Clara couldn’t remember the spell and fucked everything up. ---
