Geek Dinner Theater

I think this is just the actual script of Spock's Brain, verbatim, just played for laughs. But I'm not sure.

A commenter says The Enterprise Incident is on tonight, on some channel (he didn't say), which I think is the episode where the Voyager Deep Space Nine crew goes back in time to The Trouble With Tribbles episode of the original series. Never seen it myself, always wanted to. Sorta.

It's on... TVLand at 1am Eastern tonight, or maybe 1:10. Sometime. TVLand doesn't believe in firm schedules, apparently.

The episode apparently sorta explains why "New Klingons" look completely different than "Old Klingons."

An example of retconning. That's a wikipedia entry real geeks can get lost in for hours. I read the whole thing and a lot of the links, and I don't even watch most of those shows.

Wrong: The explanation was given elsewhere.

Even Wronger: Cyberluddite tells me I'm not even close. It's "Tribbles and Tribulations" that digitally inserts the new Trekkers into the Tribble episode; this one, The Enterprise Incident, is a retcon about the stealing of the infamous Cloaking Device. (And I guess they retcon an answer to the old question-- if Kirk stole the Cloaking Device so long ago, why doesn't the Federation have it? Apparently the answer is they have it, but they have agreed to never use it by treaty.)

This whole post has so many bloopers and contuinity errors it needs a serious retcon itself. Maybe a full reboot. Crisis on Infinite Ace Errors.
