And in the course of dealing with some Klingons who want to restart the war (peace is not good for business, primarily for profit), Chapel and M’Benga end up having to fight their way out of trouble.<\/p>\n “It was so much fun,” Bush enthuses to StrippedPixel. \u201cIt was the most fun ever. I think by the end of the episode, Babs and I were both like, \u201cWe need a massage. We need a vacation. (We were) just like kids in a candy store, rolling around.”<\/p>\n Olasunmokun agrees, adding: \u201ca lot of stunt rehearsals and all that, that’s how it happens. And yes, we had a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun. I kicked a lot of ass, I threw a lot of people around.”<\/p>\n
