The lady they found (Rena Owen) was in 2 Star Wars movies (ep 2 and 3) as well.
The actors/actresses keep getting recycled. Time for Shatner to make a surprise appearance (or Takei if they want some gay jokes)
Nothing a little soap and water can’t fix. :o
BTW, what was the British SF series that used “smeghead” a lot as an insult? :dubious:
Oh! That was the painting of Gallifrey burning! Like I said, do NOT make a drinking game of Seth’s references.
Why not just deflect the damned thing instead of creating lots of potential problems for the future? Put it into a completely different orbit.
I’d expect Patrick Stewart to go first, given his long-standing association with MacFarlane (Stewart voices Avery Bullock on American Dad, narrated MacFarlane’s movie Ted etc.)
Oh! That was the painting of Gallifrey burning! Like I said, do not make a drinking game of Seth’s references. You might die.
Going back to the earlier episodes
One other detail that I picked up is that one can see the Empire State building and Brooklyn Bridge in the background. (Still looking for the Chrysler building)
The Empire State Building is dwarfed by the buildings around it which seems a little unrealistic but consider new Super tall buildings under construction and planned in New York (and Dubai) it might be feasible
Apparently at its full mass, it’s too big to deflect. One cut roughly in half, though, the daughter asteroids can be pushed around more easily and presumably parked into safe orbits.
I have a bigger problem with being able to see the planet in the background. I have to figure that if the asteroid is that close, you don’t have months before it hits; you have minutes or seconds. Oh, well… artistic license.
Bryan, my dear friend, I tried to go all trek/science/sf/whatever nerd, but it’s just a show. Look at his ex when it gets stupid. That’s why the Golden Age covers were drawn.
I especially like November: :o
Oh, sweet Mother of God! You do know I’m widowed and vulnerable, right? 
Patrick Stewart should show up in a Shatneresque toupee.
“Brave” was precisely the word my wife and I used. The “wrong” side won. There was no trick, no change of heart; the baby went through a sex change, and that’s that. Mercer and Grayson walked away in defeat.
By network show standards that’s… not edgy, but honest, shall we say. The good guys did not prevail, and maybe the bad guys were not all bad.
Yeah, just ask Odo. 
Better yet, ask Kira…
I read somewhere he wore a rug when asked to meet with Paramount executives prior to being confirmed as Picard. It was so ratty that Roddenberry and Justman made him take it off. 
Red Dwarf.
That’s it! 
I had one of my EFL classes record an episode from a script I got off the Internet. Since they were all high schoolers, I had to gloss over the meaning of that particular term. :o
Wait… so that scene wasn’t supposed to be an obvious send-up of Armageddon? I thought the joke was, “We told the whole story of your two-hour movie in two and a half minutes!”
Perhaps they should’ve shown Rudolph to the tribunal.
