    People are fat becuase they eat a lot of fast food, sit at school or work all day, then sit at home. If you eat right and stay active, or work out if you live in the city, then you should do all right unless you have a medical complication. That's just my view though, but I'm very convinced that that is the case. Sometimes people make life too complicated. When I became active and starting eating right (cutting out pizza :P ) I started loosing weight fast! :o

    Shatner has been confirmed as a regular in "The Practice" spinoff.  Here's the article from trektoday:

     

    William Shatner (Captain Kirk) is expected to become a regular in the new spinoff of The Practice on ABC this fall.

     

    As previously reported, Shatner is currently appearing in episodes of The Practice written to set up the spinoff, which will star James Spader in the new drama from producer David E. Kelley.

     

    Yahoo! has reprinted a Hollywood Reporter story about the end of The Practice's eight-year run and the anticipated sequel series.

     

    Danny Crane, Shatner's character, is the senior partner in Crane, Poole & Schmidt - the law firm hired by Alan Shore, played by Spader, to represent him in a wrongful-termination suit against The Practice firm Young, Frutt & Berluti.

     

    Later episodes of The Practice are expected to introduce characters played by Fay Masterson and Lake Bell, both of whom are in talks to star in the spinoff as well as attorneys in the newly introduced firm.

     

    In addition to playing Captain Kirk, Shatner was a regular on the cop show T.J. Hooker and has made numerous other television appearances.

     

    t'mir, I believe the first episode aired last Sunday, but I'm not sure about that.

    Oh my gosh! :o Captain Kirk and Dr. Jackson practicing law together? This I gotta see! :o :P

    Actually, I did you guys a favor by causing all this commotion.

    No, you did not. I do not like commotion.

     

    You should be thanking me, that's o.k. B)

    I will not thank you for creating chaos.

     

    calm down now.

    I am.

     

    Everything cool.

    It's not when you cause trouble.

     

    I'm not mad anymore.

    Why were you to begin with? :o

     

    Maybe I'll give 'StarGate' another try :o

    Go for it, it's an awesome TV show! :)

     

    I'm not promising anything.

    No one asked you to. :o

     

    But if I get into it, that means 'I'll Be Back' to bother you some more in the future :P

    I am not amused...

    i was watching TNG yesterday and Guinan had a line in witch she and picard were more then frainds. Could they have had a sexual relationship? in The Best of Both Worlds

    she said it whent beyond freindship and beyond family. just wondering

    I don't see anything sexual between them. I think that what she means is that they have a relationship beyond friendship, family, even space and time. It's just an extremely deep friendship, deeper than most ever get. If (big if) we get one last TNG movie, I hope they explore the Picard/Guinnan relationship - just why they are so close. :P

    Just thought I'd let you all know. I, self appointed Head Cheese of the 'Grammar Police' will be cruising this site for spelling, grammatical and syntax errors.  So don't be surprised if you hear sirens in the night, or daytime, and you're paid a little visit. I'm an idiot and do crazy stuff like this all the time, on my own time. Just remember to use SPELL CHECK.  And if spell check messes up, I want to hear about that too. :wub: If this bothers you, direct all complaints to Fenriz 275.  He suggested this office. This was HIS idea. :wub: I hereby absolve myself of any and all liability. :wub:

    We do not need a grammer police. :clap: We come here to discuss STAR TREK among other topics, not to post perfectly written articles. Heck, if you're serious, you'd be in grammer jail. :wub: Anywho, I don't think it should be an issue, since many of our posters speak English as a 2nd language. :wub:

    I do believe that if ENT gets cancelled, it may work out for the best.

    How? If ENT is cancelled, Trek will be gone for a long time, and if it returns, it'll probably be as a remake or reimagining of TOS. :clap:

     

    One of the reasons the franchise is losing money is becuase it's stale.

    I don't think Trek is stale. I've talked to kids and teens about the show, and they all seem to think that it's borring with too much "button pressing" and talking and not enough adventure.

     

    Too much content in a small amount of time, and people are bored with it now.

    I disagree. The problem is that non-fans seem to think that all the shows are the same. I know one guy who saw maybe 2 episodes from one Trek show and now thinks that Star Trek is borring. Why not give one of the other shows a chance? Who knows why they don't... Another thing is that with people I know, they've lost interrest in TV watching.

     

    I'm not speaking for myself or any member of this board, im talking about the general public.

    Me too. :wub:

     

    Sad to say, the networks are more worried about money than fans nowadays.

    Agreed.

     

    Thats why Trek needs a little break.

    Agreed again! :wub:

     

    A new movie anytime soon would doom the franchise to extinction.

    I think the opposite. If we don't have a new movie soon, that will help kill the franchise. The TNG, DS9, & VOY actors aren't getting any younger... If we wait too long, we won't be able to see a TNG, DS9, nor a VOY movie.

     

    And I, personally, wouldn't mind waiting a few years then BAM something totally new and origional. Just my 2 cents..

    I think a 3-year-break would be perfect, and I hope they get to work soon on the 11th movie, whatever it may be about. Yes, a few years (3) would be A OK, I'd be off watching Stargate: Atlantis, then we get and original and new, while in the Trek continuity, TV show. Perhaps with a new production staff, but with Berman & Braga in charge?

    If it get cancelled I want to see more TOS episodes!!!!!!!

    That won't happen since TOS was cancelled back in 1969, one of the actors has died, and two others have retired from acting. Also, the SCI-FI channel has the rights to airing TOS re-runs.

     

    I think they should show more trek movies on fridays

    Agreed, but UPN would rather show, how should I put this... less intelligent movies.

    Here's what StarTrek.com has to say on the Borg Queen:

     

    Borg Queen

    Played by Alice Krige, Susanna Thompson

     

    The enigmatic Borg Queen is the central locus of the Borg Collective who brings order to the legions of voices within the Hive Mind and provides a common direction — much like the queen of an insect colony. She resides primarily at Unimatrix One in the Delta Quadrant, but will often leave this home base to participate in assimilation efforts of a special nature.

     

    The Borg Queen has a unique personality and a sense of individuality that normal Borg drones are not allowed. She is usually the one who "speaks" for the Collective in situations where contact with outsiders is best conducted by an individual. But for the Borg Queen the concepts "I" and "we" are interchangeable. In her own words, she is the "one who is many."

     

    The Queen spends much of her time in her "lair" with her head and spinal column residing in a special alcove. When she emerges, she will "re-assemble" herself into a predominantly artificial body — the arms, legs and torso appearing to be entirely synthetic, while the head and shoulders seeming to be organic, but with substantial cybernetic implants.

     

    Information on this being is still very limited. Apparently the Borg Queen has been destroyed on a number of occasions, but another queen always seems to take her place. (It is not clear whether more than one queen exists simultaneously, or if a new queen is created when the old one dies.) The Borg's collective nature makes it likely that each Borg Queen has all her predecessors' (and/or counterparts') qualities and memories. Therefore when she speaks as "I," she is presumably referring to all previous manifestations of the Queen, going back probably thousands of years.

     

    The earliest Federation data on the Borg Queen was collected by Magnus and Erin Hansen, two exo-biologists who spent several years studying the Borg in the 2350's aboard their science vessel, the U.S.S. Raven. The Hansens were assimilated before they could transmit their findings to Starfleet, but the information was later recovered by the U.S.S. Voyager about 20 years later.

     

    In 2373, the Borg Queen spearheaded the Collective's attempt to alter Earth's history in order to make humanity easier to assimilate. However, due to interdiction by the U.S.S. Enterprise-E, not only did the plan fail, but the Queen and all other Borg involved — who were occupying the Enterprise at the time — were killed when plasma coolant liquefied their organic components.

     

    This Queen was soon replaced by another, almost identical one — a drone assimilated from Species 125 — who encountered the U.S.S. Voyager in the Delta Quadrant when that Federation crew attempted to procure a transwarp coil. The Borg Queen Vessel was destroyed during that incident; however, it is not clear if the Queen herself was still aboard at the time. If so, she was replaced by another virtually identical successor, whom Voyager once again encountered in 2377 at a time when the so-called "Unimatrix Zero" phenomenon threatened the integrity of the Collective. That Queen apparently died in 2378 when a neurolytic pathogen was introduced into the Hive and wreaked havoc on a massive scale. At this time it is not known if the Queen was subsequently replicated, or even if the Borg Collective survived the pathogenic attack.

     

    The assimilation of the human race has been an elusive goal of the Borg since its first encounter with the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2365, in spite of that species' below-average cranial capacity and other physiological limitations. The Borg Queen has long sought a counterpart with a mind of his or her own to help bridge the gulf between humanity and the Borg — someone to be more than just another drone. In late 2366, during the Borg incursion that culminated in the costly battle at Wolf 359, the Queen wanted Captain Jean-Luc Picard to give himself freely to the Borg, but he resisted and was transformed into Locutus. (He was soon separated from the Collective, however.) Seven years later, during the Borg's temporal incursion to Earth in the year 2063, the Queen tried to similarly seduce the android Data, by giving him organic components and by appealing to his emotions, but again, resistance proved to be not futile.

     

    Her successor later "allowed" the drone Seven of Nine (who had been the daughter of the Hansens — probably the first humans ever assimilated) to be separated from the Collective by the U.S.S. Voyager, in order for her to gain experience as an individual. Almost two years later, in 2375, the Queen attempted to lure Seven of Nine back into the Collective — again, by having her give herself voluntarily to the goal of Borg "perfection" while remaining an individual within the Hive. After refamiliarizing Seven with assimilation procedures during an attack upon Species 10026, the Queen ordered her to program nanoprobe viruses that would be used surreptitiously upon Species 5618 — the human race. In spite of the Queen's seductive appeals to the former drone, Seven of Nine refused to assist in the destruction of yet another race, especially the one she had come from and was now living among. The Queen even brought in the Magnus Hansen drone to convince Seven that her "family" was the Collective. These temptations ultimately failed, and Seven was rescued by Captain Janeway and the U.S.S. Voyager, to the Queen's chagrin.

     

    In 2376-2377, the Queen was engaged in an obsessive quest to uncover the interlink frequency that bound certain drones in a dreamstate realm called Unimatrix Zero while regenerating. She wished to terminate this realm, because in it drones were able to regain their identities as individuals, and even though they would awaken from it without any memory of the experience, the Queen considered it a threat to her control over the Hive. Thanks to intervention by Voyager, the Queen actually got her wish, but not quite how she wanted: Unimatrix Zero was shut down, but the drones who occupied it regained their individuality in the physical world and began a resistance movement to undermine the Collective.

     

    In 2378 the Queen once again had a fateful encounter with Voyager when a future version of Kathryn Janeway came back in time from the year 2404 with technology that could help the lost starship resist the Borg while using a Transwarp Hub as a shortcut home. The Queen was actually approached by Admiral Janeway with an "offer" — to help the Queen prevent Voyager from destroying the Transwarp Hub in exchange for the ship's safe passage to the Alpha Quadrant. But the Queen wanted more — she wanted to assimilate the technology from the future. The Queen thought she had the upper hand when she attempted to assimilate the admiral, but it turns out the older Janeway was carrying a neurolytic pathogen that proceeded to infect the Collective. That pathogen brought chaos to the Collective, leading to the decapacitation of the Queen and the destruction of Unimatrix One. The extent of the damage to the Borg as a whole, and its status as a continued threat to the galaxy, remains unknown at this time.

    Roswell was pretty good. I was on the WB for a while and then go cancelled

    Yeah, it ran two seasons on the WB, then a third and final season on UPN. Star Trek and Roswell are the only cancelled shows that I know of which got endings.

     

    Star Trek got 6 movies to introduce and conclude story arcs as well as give us a "final adventure".

     

    Roswell got 4 "final episodes" which ended the main arcs at the end of season 3. :clap:

    I a MINORTY WOMAN

    Oh?

     

    am running for President of the USA(ok ok so i'm not 35 yet but a girl can dream)

    Because i think the three candidates suck so far.

    Were you born here? If not, you're flat out of luck. Also, it helps to have had military service and a background in Government jobs.

     

    I have no money.No backing and no running mate

    That will make your goal difficult. :b-day:

     

    I DO however have issues

    Let's see!

     

    Bringing the troops home!

    Bad, bad, bad idea. What about Iraq? Should we just leave them with a broken country? <_<

     

    Womens Rights!

    Women have rights.

     

    Abortion!(limiations and adoption incentives)

    A new law has been passed saying that if someone kills a woman's unborn child, then that person may be charged with murder. With any luck, abortion will be illegal, with the exception of medical complications of coarse.

     

    Gay marriage

    Gay marriage is not marriage. Call it what you will, but it is not marriage.

     

    Seperation between church and State.

    That would result in disaster and have deadly consequences.

     

    Incentives for Church paticipation in the Community

    This, I agree with. :unsure:

     

    better pay for the arms forces including better police pay

    Don't the military get payed enough as it is? :b-day:

     

    Schools (how to better public ones and eliminate shcool voucher.better college finacial aid,incentives to go to college)

    Eliminate school voucher? Explain. Incentives to go to college? Why? College isn't for everyone, there's enough emphasis as it is.

     

    Either booting the UN from us territory or having a more involved role

    Booting the UN from our territory would be disastrous. Having the UN get more involved in world activity would be good.

     

    Asking Canada and Mexico for a treaty to work together:D beause our neighbors mean everything to us

    Hmm... That'd be awefully hard to work, I think there's more issues that are more pressing. A treaty between these two nations isn't neccessary.

     

    Bipartison issues

    Hmm?

     

    So...Whos up for being in my staff?My VP? My cheif of state?

    Not me. :b-day:

     

    or who is voting for me?

    Not me. :D
