Mulder: it sounds to me like that's witchcraft or maybe some sorcery that you're looking for there.
Scully: No I don't think it's witchcraft, Mulder, or sorcery. I've had a look around, and I don't see any evidence of anything that warrants that kind of suspicion.
Mulder: Yeah, well, maybe you don't know what you're looking for.
Scully: Like evidence of conjury or the black arts or shamanism, divination, Wicca, or any kind of pagan or neo pagan practice, charms, cards, familiars, bloodstones, or hex signs or any of the ritual tableaux associated with the occult, santeria, vodoun, macumba, or any high or low magic?
Mulder: Scully...
Scully: Yes?
Mulder: Marry me.
Scully: I was hoping for something a little more helpful.

I loved this scene:
Kira: I know you're worried. But the Prophets are leading the Emissary on this path for a reason.
Worf: Do not attempt to convince them, Major. They cannot understand.
Dax: Since when did you believe in the Prophets?
Worf: What I believe in... is faith. Without it there can be no victory. If the Captain's faith is strong, he will prevail.
Dax: That's not much to bet his life on.
Kira: You're wrong. It's everything.

The Crown, S5 E10
We've come to the end, and it's simply a set-up for Diana's death
Which, presumably, will happen in episode two or three of S6
I'll predict right now that the crash will happen in ep 2, the funeral in ep 3 (alternately, a retreading of The Queen in ep 3 and the funeral in ep 4), and then we will move briskly into the 00's, the queen mother's death, William & Kate, and so on and so forth
I like Bertie Carvel as Tony Blair, and I think he'll be splendid in s6 - Peter Morgan already has spent so much time with this character, and he immediately gets more screen time than Johnny Lee Miller
Once again, I am asking
WHY cast JLM if you don't plan to USE him? I never got a sense of Major as anything but a blank canvas that suffered in the Thatcher's wake. And maybe that's what he was, I don't know any modern british political history, don't @ me, but this is a modern drama! Give me a little bit of personality! A few stakes! Any sort of sense of what's going on politically at this time!
Lol @ diana voting "No" on the monarchy
Music choices excellent this episode, as they have been all season. Fly Like An Eagle -> baroque opera at Charles' was a beautiful transition
They lay the boat metaphor to rest with the boat, finally, and thank god
This has been a very weird season for the show. Seasons 2 - 4 really shone as a semi-anthology series, where a number of episodes are interconnected but still standalone, and our characters are given chances to have real and deep moments with each other that gradually build their arcs over time. In this season? Not so much. Pacing and structure are noticeably muddled. The queen gets short shrift this season. Staunton did wonderfully, but was given little screentime and even less material. At least we only got one "Phillip is a whiny bitch" episode this season, instead of two or three as per usual.
Standout episodes: Episode 4 (Margaret's sadness hour - the actually palpable chemistry between Manville and Dalton, ooh ooh) Episode 5 (tampongate - great framing of the well-known story), Episode 9 (divorce stories - poignant)
Standout line: "He was sucking Sarah's TOES, mummy!" - Prince Andrew is a nightmare, but my god this line ruled

Now that we're all talking about Dracula, IMO more people should know about this moment from Daria season 5, episode 10:
(Quinn and Sandi walk down the hallway, lockers visible behind them.)
Sandi - Well, if I can't say Sandi Griffin's Dracula, why does Brad Stoker get to say Brad Stoker's Dracula?
Quinn - Um, I think that's Bram Stoker.
(Sandi and Quinn stop walking.)
Sandi - I don't.
Quinn - Perhaps not. But anyway, he gets to say it because he made the story up.
Sandi - Huh. Quinn, Dracula is an internationally known, celebrity vampire. (mocking) "He made the story up."
