I was kind of hoping it would turn out to be somebody like Kellyanne Conway or even Jared.

Did you ever notice that the Romulan cloaking device is half Sargon and half Nomad?

I did not know this about Wilson. Whether true or not, I'm still laughing.

The saddest part of Castaway is when he lost Wilson. I felt it!
