OMG the bizarre Sean Connery impression is something I call out every time I watch this episode. Also, I think I remembered Aubrey Morris best from the '80s Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy miniseries. He had a small part, but he was memorable.

So, given Vera’s statements about illegal orders, I’m anxious for her to see how much that becomes part of Sheridan’s argument going forward. This episode always makes me think of the Trill and I was a little surprised that neither you or Vera mentioned them… granted the subtext is a bit different, but I associate it more with that than Bodysnatchers… though that may say more about my background haha I kind of wonder how Vera will take the rest of the Ivanova-Marcus relationship with that slight amount of foreknowledge. I mean, they don’t really get together, I’m pretty sure Marcus dies a virgin, but… she might like what we do get less. Again, this may have more to do with me, but when you were making the Trial by Stone noise from Dark Crystal, I first thought it was the Captain Picard reacting to Dr. Crusher’s grandmother’s sex journal from “Sub Rosa.” I blame Allison Pregler’s video haha

Jessie Earl

Haha we recorded that episode yesterdday, she had a lot to say. And OMG that Sean Connnery impression I totally missed haha
