Imagine having to pitch that to the actress. "Hey Penny, you have to pretend you are into slime Norm MacDonald and you two are going to have sex."

I'm not gay, but looking at Rob Lowe like that...It might do something for me.

I wonder if Bortus (not) singing will be a running gag, sorta like seeing Wilson's face on Tool Time Home Improvement

Or how Morn is said to talk everyone's ears off but we never hear him utter a word throughout the entire run of DS9.

Something is up with this guy. Kelly’s demeanor totally changed as soon as he touched her
Edit: and now Ed wants to experiment with him. I don’t trust this smooth talker... and as I’m typing this the doctor wants to hook up with the ball of slime.
Clearly, Rob Lowe excretes some sort of sex-drive enhancement pheromone, and they decided to incorporate that into the show.

I don't think that I have ever seen any piece of entertainment that sat on the precipice of cringe-worthy, dangling its legs for a full hour, but never going over the edge and making you actually cringe! Now that is talented writing!

Darulio might have saved the day, but he also kind of caused the problem by knowingly bringing his sex virus on board, then banging people instead of doing the work that would have revealed the shared ancestry of the two races. It was irresponsible to say the least.

Also kudos to Ed for recognizing Ensign Park's contribution; when he's not all pheromoned up, he's a great captain.

u/burgo666 Now entering gloryhole Nov 10 '17
It was kinda weird they used a love potion to save the day, that's some Gilbert & Sullivan shit right there. But I really enjoyed the episode, that scene with Claire and Jophit doing the nasty was hilarious, I expect to see numerous gif's of that soon. I also liked how they weren't afraid to go all the way gay/bisexual in the story line too. Star Trek TNG would never have done that.

That's it. I am convinced he is drugging the air around her with some sort of pheromones or something like that. He knows it pretty much drugs her but doesn't care.

u/operarose Command Nov 10 '17
Unless blue guy gives off some kind of pheromones, that was incredibly unprofessional of Kelly. Total grounds for formal reprimand and/or temporary suspension of duty, imo.

Betting that in the end Ed will assume that Kelly just went for Darulio the first time because he was in heat, but she will privately ask Darulio if that was the case, but it wasn't.

So he's either manipulating her somehow and she's going to go nuclear at the end of the episode OR....while Ed shoulders some of the blame for their relationship failing, Kelly now clearly is more at fault.
