This was perhaps the only mistake we hear made by the Captian and shows he actually is a human being and not an immortal God some of us believed and maybe even hoped, he was. He is close though.
Having read every post in this thread, I don't have the impression that any of us either believed or hoped that the captain was an immortal god. I would further wager that you're the only one who believes that he is close to god-like status.
Sounds like you're hard at work on that made-for-TV script.........
