There is such a tale to be told on how we went from "Guile needs to be a generic action hero doing generic action hero things or audiences won't buy it" to "Guile needs to have a game-accurate haircut and a dude must beat up a car at some point or audiences won't buy it" in the space of 30 years

I do remember this! Specifically I remember watching the first 10 minutes of it on YouTube last year when I first heard about it. I suspect the pod will be time better spent, cheers lads

For me it's less about privacy and more about there being ample evidence to suggest that anyone who arbitrarily fails this 'vetting' will only find out about it when they get bundled into the back of an unmarked van at gunpoint after disembarking the aircraft.

To be fair, I still think 2.2k for a recent UK Prime Minister is a much more impressive low than 1.6k for someone almost entirely unknown outside US media wonk circles.

Also there's a great scene where Riker goes to get moral support from Picard and Jean-Luc is like, ACTUALLY, you refusing to help Worf top himself is really you being a terrible friend and you should go think about your human-centric cultural biases

Incredible that this used to air at 6pm on BBC2.

Yep, that's the one. HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE ENGINEERING DECK THAT WASN'T YOUR FAULT, YOU COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION EXCEPT THAT WE LIVE IN A UTOPIA THAT HAS MADE MONEY OBSOLETE, SO HARD LUCK I GUESS

Plot twist: Riker talks him out of the ritual suicide by saying he's read up on Klingon protocol and ACTUALLY the proper thing would be for Worf's tiny angry son to do it. Even Worf's not that hardcore so he agrees to experimental surgery from a visiting doctor who looks like Hillary Clinton instead

It was the eyes I think

Huw Edwards?
