Him pulling a Riker to sit on it…
Which the actor improvised - with Jonathan Frakes directing the episode.
I thought it was just Pyke’s saddle that he uses at his ranch, as we saw in the first episode.
Sure looks like the same thing, all the way down to the detail of the pommel.
Correct, Pike’s.
Thanks. That makes sense.
When I started watching 2x09 it had slipped my mind what the episode was going to be like until just before it happened.
It was pretty good, but while the songs were useful exposition, there wasn’t really anything that worked as a memorable, stand-along song. Buffy did it better. (Speaking of, that mention of bunnies couldn’t have been coincidental, even if using the phrase “I have a theort” was.)
Also, K-pop.
But it really is amazing how multitalented these people are.
It seems pretty common. Figure that 80% of these actors started in High School Theater and probably excelled compared to their peers.
I would rate Buffy’s Once More, With Feeling and Scrubs’ My Musical at the top of the list and Lucifer’s Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam the worst.
I would put Subspace Rhapsody with other solid ones like Community’s Regional Holiday Music, Psych’s Psych: The Musical and How I met your Mother’s Girls Versus Suits.
Flash’s Duet was kind of weak and Fringe’s Brown Betty was uneven.
Is there any confirmation if everyone did their own singing?
True but still all the more impressive to me for it’s not being uncommon?
Anyway, not sure how the goofy dark goofy tempo is working but still loving the season.
Nurse Chapel’s essential ghosting of Spock really doesn’t fit with the development previous.
Potentially my ignorance showing but do we know of this Carol and the unborn from TOS or otherwise?
Yes. Wife Carol and son David worked on the Genesis Device and were major characters in Star Trek II.
Not wife and in original timeline Kirk never even knew she was pregnant.
Character returned in the Kelvin timeline (reboot movies) as a science officer on the Enterprise and she was important in the second movie.
This is a surprising change for the Kirk character, that he knows Carol is pregnant.
Yeah, but it makes more sense as being a revision of that Carol than it does there being two women named Carol that he got pregnant. Although this is JTK we are talking about…
I should be remembering this more than the vaguely now that you say it … ah well.
Does this ring any bell?
I know I saw the movie … but I think my brain has edited out the whole David bit. I seriously don’t recall that scene.
The Picard unknown son bit now makes more sense as a call back.
That scene is from Star Trek III. He was introduced in Star Trek II.
Yeah. I understand my not remembering three much. Better forgotten. And two? The memory is filled with Khan!!! It must have pushed David out of there.
Back to the ep! No inadvertent songs by the doctor about having just murdered someone? I get that he feels no guilt but not having any residual strong emotional processing?
Again enjoyed the ep … but using it to explicitly say the characters’ emotional work rather than showing it … and some of it seeming off from what has previously been shown … made it less than it could have been.
I doubt we will become bunnies. So funny. I enjoyed this one.
