I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

Easy, get Bashir to do a Kurn on them, then send them back to their timeline.

“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”

The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.

Well, in fairness to them, I learned I don’t want no Scrubs. Which is good as I think that aired on ABC

I must have missed some Tallman background characters as I had fewer than that before moving on to tallying up her stunting for various main cast. (I checked two sources as I was worried this might be the case but as always Roles, Stunts and Secondary Artist work are not credited equally or properly).

Jaccident, when his maths failed.

That depends on how you feel about what constitutes playing a character.

In raw numbers we’ve had Combs play 7 main characters (Brunt, Tiron, Mulkahey, Penk, Krem, Shran, Agimus) that aren’t Weyouns and at least 3 of them that I recall. This discounts his appearances in video games.

Whereas though PT has been on screen a lot, maybe as many times as Combs, it’s worth remembering that stuntpersons aren’t playing the character, they are playing the actor. She was also in Jurassic Park, not as Ellie, but as “Laura Dern’s Stunt Double”.

Edit: an earlier version of this comment started “that’s not strictly true” but I’m not the person who gets to decide that. To me it doesn’t seem true, but to someone else perhaps it does. I changed it because I’m not the arbiter of such things, and to open a comment that way was frankly a bit dickish.

I feel the scene is deeper than that. Quark isn’t just dunking Sisko, he’s shining a light on the fact that Sisko doesn’t see the Ferengi as they are, rather he uses the surface level similarities of capitalism to apply his human anxiety about pre-post-scarcity to them instead.

Indentured servitude is a form of forced/coerced labour too.

Mine are similar

  1. Status Report
  2. We Are One
  3. I’m Ready
  4. Private Conversation
  5. Keep Us Connected
  6. I’m The X
  7. Connect To Your Truth
  8. How Would That Feel
  9. Keeping Secrets

Medley and Credits are both wonderful, but to me, including them would not be in the spirit of the rankings.

I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.

It’s a popular theory that I first encountered on The Greatest Generation, though I think it must have come up organically many times since the 1960s!

They just beam the poops out!

 

To the Trill with the license to thrill, happy 60th birthday!
