For very confused Americans, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October not November. Our Thanksgiving also doesn't have the association with pilgrims and natives either.
Still thankful for y'all.
Gobble gobble. For those who will be eating turkey today, eat a lil extra for me. Haven't had a Thanksgiving dinner in years and I'm dying a little on the inside. 💙
I wish TOS writers had kept leaning into hilariously absurd moment like that. It would have made the show better. It's part of what makes Star Gate and The Orville so lovable.
It's also why I was the only person I knew who actually liked Team Knight Rider. Because there would be random announcements over the home base intercom that would indiscriminately break whatever tension there was with a report of something stupid that just happened somewhere on the ship.
"Technicians, please report to the rec room. The jukebox is stuck on Moon River again."
"Fire control team, report to the kitchen... just in case." Or something to that effect.
If you've never seen it, watch 'Buckaroo Banzai.' The entire movie is filled with things like that. If you're really ambitious, find the special edition DVD with onscreen commentary. In the original, you see the hero carrying a briefcase with him as he bards the experimental Jet Car. The commentary informs us that he's carrying Einstein's brain and a tuna fish sandwich.
