Not exactly one of my favorite episodes. All I pretty much have in my notes is: that is one awesome beard. (And by "awesome" I mean "wtf?")

BEARD WEAVE.

That is all.

I couldn't bring myself to rewatch this one.
Because this is one of the rather boring episodes.

I couln't watch more than 15 min of this before being all "screw it" and watched mirror mirror to get some good trek back in my system

Heh, I couldn't remember this episode at all, either from the description or the trailer (which, to be fair, was ridiculously vague). And I saw the episode less than a month ago.

...And then I skimmed Brittany's recap of the ep and... I recognize enough to be sure that I saw the episode, but... no strong memories.

And that should tell you exactly how much I liked this ep. There wasn't even slashy goodness to make things more interesting!

I beg to differ.
