Just finished watching the ST:TNG episode titled Time Squared. It begins with Riker inviting a bunch of the bridge crew to his quarters so he can show off his culinary skills by preparing and serving a hand-made omelet.
But what he actually serves them is scrambled eggs.
That would be funny. I can picture guest star Tony Shalhoub as “Lt Monk” panicking over a grease fire while trying to figure out how to use an extinguisher.
My understanding (I think I originally read something about this from Wil Wheaton) is that Jonathan Frakes had a bad back, and the funky sit-down maneuver was a way to sit down that didn’t hurt as much.
Yeah, I’ve been bingeing the series, and whenever Picard tells him he has the Bridge, I notice that he hesitates slightly before sitting in the command chair, as though he’s wondering if he can get away with doing his patented Will Riker straddle-sit maneuver.
There was a thread here maybe a year ago, about “what do you put in your scrambled eggs.” It was quite clear that no one here made the distinction between omletes and scrambled eggs.
