Memes

No, in the 21st century, we also need memes. He's a higher being who has evolved beyond them, so he can devote more time to masturbation.

And god forbid you actually have a positive experience on a drug that cements certain crucial friendships that come back to sustain you years later. Mind blown!

Oh, I totally recognize that, and agree with what you said completely!

I def wouldn't want to cut it out or anything, but I remember it (as in this whole bit from start to finish panel) a bit forced in, like a random non-credibly-spontaneous convo between the Tar princess and the shut-up-Weasley that they didn't know where exactly to include in the episode.

Then again, I might not remember it that well, or maybe it's bcs I never liked the kid (as a character, forced at times to be a comic relief figure).

Hmm, that might also be true, yes - with extra demotivating effects of the hastily (or restricted) script/dialog they had to perform.

Between the overly classically thespianed captain (even in some unfitting situations), miss 'I telepathically feel you are feeling the emotion you are so excessively showing', and I'm-gonna-perch-my-number-one-leg-to-look-very-cool I might have not actually noticed that fact, rather accept it as a bit of a correction to balance the usual dialog over-acting with some under-acting.

(I didn't blame the actors for nothing mentioned, always thought the showrunners wanted it exactly that way, like a style choice that they stuck with all the time)
