“Captain, I have been inspecting the egg for the last twenty years. You may lay it when ready.”

Dare we start this frak party on-time? Nah. Some traditions must stay!!
I was just going inquire…
So we’ve got till quarter past?
Your call. Starting things on time could unsettle the universe, though. :eek:
Yeah. That’s the PLAN.
Ew. Sounds skeevy.
I’ve only been starting the Star Wars fraks on time since my daughters are anxious to watch them and their bed time is 8:30PM ET. So, I don’t think there need be any unbalance in the universe.
That’s what Oedipus said.
And he would certainly know…
New uniforms premiere in this episode and new opening credits, which you probably won’t see if watching on youtube.
Episodes like this were known as Wesley “growth” stories. That just sounds wrong. I don’t want to see that. Leave that behind the closed bathroom door.
I wonder if they cover puberty in that creepy all-ages classroom. :eek:
frakkin teenagers, always a problem in every universe and time.
Hey! It’s Bob! 
Is that guy making a pass at Wesley?
Suns sucking and exploding…
“No control malfunction has been reported.”
Lying computer wench!
“I missed about 10 inches of him.” :eek:
