The Doctor was played by Wilson Cruz who played Rickie on My So-Called Life.
Also, agreed on the draggy Klingons. Part of it is, I think, that they talk so damned *slowly*!
What does a yellow light mean?
Go slower.
What... does... a... yellow... light... mean...?
Go slower.
SuD... chep... qej... chay'...?
(Which reminds me that the Jim Ignatowski once played a Klingon.)
Yeah, the Klingon actors definitely weren't used to talking around those gnarly prosthetic teeth. They should have hired supporting players from TNG who had some practice.
Just starting the second episode. What the HELL is with the Klingon makeup?
Oh, wow, Patton Oswalt on Netflix. Laughing and crying at the same time.

Near as I can figure, they must've gotten a deal on surplus orc make-up now that WETA is done making Hobbit movies.
My friend is raving about a new Netflix show "Mindhunter". I looked it up and saw that is has Anna Torv! Has anyone watched this yet? I definitely might have to give it a shot.
I really liked it! I think the main criticism would be that it is pretty slow. I mean, the literally speak pretty slowly! The actor who plays ED Kemper (the co-ed killer) is amazing.
