📺🖖 In Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 11, “The Hunted,” there is a whole society of intellectual bros wearing blazers over turtlenecks & claiming something is impossible because they’ve “studied it thoroughly” (though never tried it). Academia vibes, y’all.

One of the many straws on the proverbial camel’s back that led me to stop watching THE CHAIR after only 8 minutes was when the dean said “We can’t add another line” for the junior scholar. 📺

📺 It’s been interesting seeing other (current or former) academians’ responses to THE CHAIR. I made it 8 minutes but once the notion of just getting through the tenure process and THEN shaking things up was mentioned, I had to stop. My heart was hurting.

It’s fine if you’ve been sleeping on SCHMIGADOON so far but this week they gave both Kristin Chenoweth and Jane Krakowski amazing songs so it might be a good time to catch up. 📺
