Seven of Nine learns the art of WWF and takes on The Rock! No I’m not blissed out on drugs!... It baffles me to think that this was the highest rated episode of the season – either the US audience wanted to witness the moment when Voyager finally (irretrievably) jumped the shark or they simply enjoy watching absolute trash.

That is the current state of the Jaguars right now. Bereft of a talented roster or sentient fans, they exist mainly to serve as the NFL’s lab rat. We’ll put them in London! We’ll put them on the Internet! We’ll make them the first helmet-less team! We’ll inject them with liquid uranium! We’ll replace all their players with cyborg apes!

The Jaguars are NOT FDA-approved.

"You either have a wedding or you burn down something. That's what you do during sweeps week."
