"I think it actually surprised everyone. I did a one-off "The Runaway Bride" and I remember I wasn't able to do the what's called the read-through, which happens a few weeks before you start filming, and it's where all the actors, the writer, the producer, everyone just sort of sits around a table and reads the episode. And one of the things that it's good for is for actors who have not worked together to just sort of see how you bounce off each other and stuff like that. Well, I wasn't available for it, so we didn't even know how we were gonna gel together. And it happened very quickly."

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.
