“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”
The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.
I feel the scene is deeper than that. Quark isn’t just dunking Sisko, he’s shining a light on the fact that Sisko doesn’t see the Ferengi as they are, rather he uses the surface level similarities of capitalism to apply his human anxiety about pre-post-scarcity to them instead.
Start mid-S2 if it’s really rubbing you. Armageddon Game is a great intro to one of the best relationships on the show, and a good story in its own right. By the time you reach the Maquis you’ll be hooked.
It’s a riff on a Lizzo song. Replacing That Bitch with That Tig, because Tig Notaro plays Reno. But also, it’s got a typo, it’s supposed to say I’m 100% not in 100%.
In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.
