Someone added \\\"Author Filibuster\\\" without example. Where? Satire is not the same thing as stopping the narrative or rhythm of the show dead in it\\\'s tracks for a long, boring diatribe thinly disguised as dialog. Citing this trope screams for citing an example in this case.

Someone added \\\"Author Filibuster\\\" without example. Where? True, I\\\'ve only watched season 1 so far, so I can\\\'t yet say there are none. But satire is not the same thing as stopping the narrative or rhythm of the show dead in it\\\'s tracks for a long, boring diatribe thinly disguised as dialog. Could it be that whoever added this simply feels the satire struck a little too close to home? Perhaps not. But one thing is clear: Citing this trope screams for citing an example, when they are obviously rare (at the very least) in this show.

\\\"Quite the hair-trigger you got there.\\\"
\\\"It\\\'s not the size of the army, but the fury of its onslaught.\\\"

Also, [[YouKeepUsingThatWord it\\\'s canon, not cannon]]. If the aliens did anything \\\'\\\'cannonically\\\'\\\', it would probably involve them being launched out of a barrel with a large powder charge. Would certainly make \\\'\\\'HoratioHornblower\\\'\\\' a far freakier show to watch, though no doubt highly entertaining. \\\"NUKE IT FROM ORBIT, MISTER HORNBLOWER!\\\"
