assistant: For shame!
You all missed it!!!
<grin!>
Or, at least, no one here has posted their awareness of this small
tidbit of a joke as yet.
Zorch has an excuse for missing it, because he was, by his own
accounting, busy flossing a cat's teeth ... and I *know* how insistent
those NeoCats at the Lab can be.
At first glance, when we first see the inside of Kate's "Cafe
Amercain"-esque watering hole, the writers seem to be going overboard
with the _Casablanca_ allusions, right? Seven might as well be singing "As
Time Goes By."
But instead, she's singing another highly popular tune from the Hit
Parade of summer, 1942, "It Can't Be Wrong." Of course, 1942 was a very
successful year at Warner Brothers for veteran film composer Max
Steiner, who penned the melody the song is based on, and also wrote the
music for _Casablanca,_ so these could all be simply a fine attempt at
incorporating some quite sound and historically accurate touches.
But, no -- our collective leg is being subtly pulled ... and I'm not
going to spoil this wonderful groaner of a pun for anyone by being too
obvious. Heck, I'll even make it a sporting proposition by positing that
its worth a meter-high stack of Bunos Points to answer the trivia
question involved if you can recover from the mirth-attack that will
undoubtedly ensue. Granted, of course, your mileage may vary.
Some small hints: it has to do with the title of that *other* 1942
Steiner-scored movie alluded to above. The "love theme" from that film
is the melody for "It Can't Be Wrong," and it's also notable for having
won the Oscar for Best Score that year. It starred Bette Davis, Paul
Henried and Claude Rains ...
And, with _KIlling Game_ this bit of movie trivia is firmly enshrined in
the realm of Trek trivia for the rest of eternity!
Be Seeing You.
