You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I think my favorite Trek:TOS is Mirror, Mirror. DS9 only increased my irrational love of the mirror verse.

Completely rational! I share it, too.

Nana Visitor totally rocked the house as the Intendant. Sooooo deliciously evil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She has the hard drive/brain, metal, and a whole lot of skin in bags.
As for TOS, what the hell is a yeoman when it's at home? I remember Kirk bitching about getting a female one, and in whatever was this morning's episode he puts his arm around her as they're about to go into an exchange of phaser fire. Totally inappropriate unless I get to see him do that to Spock too.

"Inappropriate" has a picture of Kirk next to it in the dictionary.
From wikipedia about "yeoman":
In the Royal Navy and the US Navy, a petty officer with usually clerical duties.

Oh, did she ever. I just adored the fact that mirror verse!Kira was essentially in love with her other self.

I have an unholy love for this phrase...since Jonathan Creek introduced me to it. I can't imagine its origins but it just makes me smile.
Yeah, the ST protocols of rank where regularly confusing to me...not the assumed boundaries one might expect in a militaristic function like ship running. I think I just chalked it up to the 'hey man' influence of the 60s.

She is basically standing around with a steno pad all the time. I guess the idea that they'd normally have a guy there is...well, the Trek that got approved is so much more sexist than the pilot that failed, with a female #1 in long pants who fires a phaser and even the damsel in distress picks up a morning star and whacks at the bad guy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
