Quick Hit/Open Thread

Yes just a single quick hit.

It needs the spotlight.

So, there's a show on Netflix. It's called You. It's called that because it's about a stalker who is obsessed with a woman. Because he's obsessed with this woman -- who he addresses as "You" in his stalker diary and in the show's narration -- that's the name of the show.

Laura Ingraham has never heard of the show.

Prepare for something you thought had to be scripted to happen.

So let me add this: I watched the next Star Trek after Mirror Mirror, called "The Apple."

It was a lame episode featuring a type of Space Hippies. Orange pixie-ish Alien Hawaiian Space Hippies.

Good Lord, do they show up a lot on the original series a lot.

But it featured a killer comedy line from Spock.

These Space Hippies are greeting the landing party. The Space Hippies are wrapping floral garlands around the forearms of Kirk and Spock.

Kirk, teasingly, says to Spock: "It does something for you."

Spock says: "Indeed it does. (beat) It makes me uncomfortable."

Not a great episode. Not even a mediocre one. But I see why people like Spock, and the Kirk-Spock dynamic.
