Doctor: Wait just a minute here. You were just introduced one strip ago?
Nick: Yup. Well, two strips ago by now.
Shep: Hey, nice counting!
Nick: it was easy. I've still got three fingers on this hand.
Doctor: And we are all getting ready to storm the bridge, right?
Shep: Yup. That's what we do. Storm. Tote guns. Flex.
Doctor: Thurl, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Thurl: Total cannon fodder. We're gonna kill off a meaningless character. Maybe two.
