I saw an episode of that show at the hotel during Midwest Furfest last month. It wasn’t bad.

Not knowing how to spell pon farr? Now, that’s serious.

Speaking of Star Trek and the nitpickery thereof, I recently discovered the secret history of the “baryon sweep”.

A quick story.

Last February I was on a quick vacation with my wife and during a quiet evening in the hotel room, I caught my first episode of the Big Bang Theory. It was the Halloween costume one and once I has Sheldon’s Doppler Effect costume I explained it to my wife… and a moment later the explanation occurred on the show.

She hasn’t let me live this down.

But she now watches the episodes with me, so that’s a plus.
