Eat your dinner

We watched 'Sarcophagus' last night and by god I love that episode to bits. Watching El Darrow chew his way from one end of the Liberator to the other did cause me to wonder, however:

[Poll #698291]

I seem to have been asleep most of the end of last week and this weekend. But somehow all essays are marked and will be sent back in the morning, and tomorrow I have my very last bit of teaching (which should be a nice laid-back one-on-one revision session). So term feels practically over. Lunchtime tomorrow, I'm free.

It has to be Benji. Plus, he has much higher-quality scenery to chew.

I think he got calmer after the first couple of seasons; certainly a lot less twitchy. So it's all the more amusing to watch him in 'Our Man Bashir', where they must have actually been encouraging him to let rip.

Well done with your marking; I hope the supervision goes well. And then freedom!

The scenery chewing in 'Our Man Bashir' is priceless.

Isn't it, though? It's one of those times where I find myself stepping back and giggling at the sheer delight of it all.

I think Benji could probably eat the scenery and then eat Darrow.

But he also had a spandex uniform to fit into; he had to watch what he ate, you know.

True, but think of the calories he must have used up, with all that twitching.

Actually, I thought he looked a lot worse when they put him in the old-style uniform in 'Trials and Tribble-ations'. Come back spandex, all is forgiven...

One more week for me.... Though the little dears have already asked if they can email me more of their immortal works over the holiday. I said yes (being a mug), but mentioned that I was going away for a bit and might not give quick feedback. They seemed quite surprised and taken aback at the thought that I had a life outside work! I think I'm spoiling them.

It's always funny when they realize that you don't (one doesn't) climb back into a box after teaching! :-D I am at the 'can I send you stuff in the holidays' stage too, but the exams are at the start of May so it's not a phase that goes on too long.

Yay indeed! And then - writing!

Don't feel able to comment on the scenery eating but Yay! for long sleeping, end of term and freedom.

Definitely yay!

I think I'd have to see Sisko doing Macbeth to give a really considered answer to that question.

BTW, we've finished season 6 now.

Sisko doing Macbeth

My head - it go boom!

Eeee! More reasons to hate Dukat.

From the season of 24 I watched, Penny Johnson's been practising Lady Macbeth already.

This comment + [livejournal.com profile] altariel1's icon = a fine mist of chamomile tea :)
