"Cynthia saw Dr Patterson several times, and once an old man who had to have been Dr Bellafonte, but the only future-ghost she saw was herself; her hair longer, greyer, her clothes shabbier, standing beside the exam table with a scowl on her face that could have been used for spot-welding. What frightened Cynthia most — aside from the nauseating, almost electric shock of walking into the medical bay and seeing herself — was the way that scowl had looked as if it had been carved into her face."

"Jakuzure glanced back and forth between Gamagoori and Ragyo, trying not to show any emotion other than obedient stoniness. She was actually jealous of Ira, for once. All he had to do was let his face rest and he automatically looked like an authoritarian hard-ass, whereas she actually had to put in effort."
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile; he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.
"'I'm sorry, Colonel Brendig,' Ce'Nedra apologized, affectionately patting his hand. 'For some reason you bring out the worst in me. Don't you ever smile?'
He looked at her with an absolutely straight face. 'I am smiling, your Majesty,' he said."

Episode title: FURROWS
Captain Archer furrows when Trip informs him that the warp reactor is going to explode in ten minutes unless they can obtain some furrolithium. The furrow deepens when Hoshi informs the captain that she can't translate the language of the furrolite commander in charge of the furrolithium factory. Then T'Pol questions the logic of Archer beaming down to a planet full of armed furrolites, armed only with a toothpick. Archer furrows some more, then beams down, kicks everyones ass (with an ever increasing furrow of course) and then returns to his ready room, where he can stare, and furrow, out of the weight-of-the-world window.
