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...
