Love this episode. James Cromwell returning as Zefram Cochrane was brilliant.

This show has easter eggs on top of Easter eggs. Jeffery Colms, one of the most prolific guest stars who has played a ton of different characters, being the AI robot that wants to take over planets and then a few episodes later, Rutherford saying that Nick Locarno looks like Tom Paris.

I have Lemmy to thank for helping me find this show.

Did not even realize they were played by the same actor

That's what I get for not reading the Canon connections yet

saying that Nick Locarno looks like Tom Paris.

Eh, I don't see it.

Seriously, there are so many deep jokes, I have to re-watch episodes multiple times to catch them all.

I love how asymmetrical Rutherford's sweater is!

It's also worth mentioning that 17 million scovilles (17,000,000 SHU) is way off the top of the chart by an order of magnitude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale

Gag or not, this may not be for human consumption.

It's pretty impressive since pure capsaicin tops out at 16 million, guess they started putting crazier spice moulecules in. Also makes Boimler's pain in that episode less of a gag and more of a "how are you legally allowed to have this on your table?"

I literally just rewatched this episode not two hours ago.

Boims in the back, absolutely dying from a tiny amount, and mariner over here pouring out half the bottle.

My wife said she would be boimler, because she's super vanilla about spicy things. Vanilla might be too spicy for boimler though.

You probably need an extra-sensitive palette to be a good raisin farmer.

Also, ever notice how everyone else is dressed at the Boimler vinyard?
