i live in the badlands

i know im gonna kick myself when you answer, but i gotta ask, BADLANDS????????

I believe the badlands are in South Dakota.

But that's not the state listed in his personal profile - so I'm thinking isn't that what they called the area Voyager was in when they were swiped by the Caretaker?

Also an area of "trouble space" near Bajor.

"I'm a Maina''

:blink:

Mainah bohn and bred heah, too! Watching the ocean as I type...whoohoo!!

And we'll accept anyone who was born here as long as they come back...it's those people "from away" who worry us! B)

Well, off THAT list, my vote is for the tailor.

They did a basic cleaning, but not detailed. It wasn't dripping or anything - sorry I gave that impression. They told her right up front what had happened to the car; she's a tough cookie - she didn't mind. (and the victim survived). Her husband wasn't too impressed. :) They bought it for $100 (the only bidders) and drove it for several years until it finally gave up.

A woman my mother knows bought a car at auction, and while she was driving it several months later, hit a pothole and a bundle of pot fell out from where it had been taped under a seat. She drove straight to the police, sure she was going to be in trouble, but they believed her.

I promise, those are the only car auction stories I know! I'll be quiet now.

My favorite regular character is Jadzia, but there is not one regular character that I DON'T like - and that's unusual. Usually there's at least one...

I haven't personally, but I know people who have. One woman I know had to wash the blood out of the trunk herself. Seriously! It had been used in a kidnapping and had been released by the police.

I never liked riding in her car.

Other people I know talk about their great deals, though. I have another friend who was a driver for an individual who bought repo'ed cars for resale. She was usually impressed with what she was driving.

What a choice I have to make!

Ok, I'd join what seems to be the majority and eat with Garak. If he were busy hemming trousers or something, I'd see if Gul Dukat was on the station.

Well, I would only have 2 fears before the "initial" transport.

 

1. Does it scan my body, destroy it, then create a copy somewhere else?

OR

2. If my body is "taken apart" on the moleculer level, sent somewhere via energy beamed, and then put together - would my soul go along for the ride?

CJLP - that sounds as if you think your soul is contained in your molecules. I don't know about you, but I also believe in the human soul, and I don't think it's contained in our molecules.

That aside, I'm with VBG - I don't want to transport in the early days, but later on, YES! I love to drive, but I'd rather just beam there!

"I pity the fools who mess with the Klingon Empire!

Vulcans reach an age of sexual maturity in their late twenties-early thirties by most estimates I've heard. If Spock is 35 (his first pon farr is during the first five year mission!), and his father was 40, and HIS mother was 40, Enterprise would have to take place 115 years before TOS. These are conservative estimates, I think.

Of course, do we ever hear the TOP age Vulcans are fertile? That could affect these dates, too.

Another thought - are all Vulcan children seven years apart in age, d'ya think? And I've never heard of Vulcan twins/triplets, etc.

"And thus be it ever when free men shall stand

Between their loved homes and the war's desolation

Blessed with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, if our cause it is just,

And this be our motto, In God Is Our Trust.

And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"Oh, beautiful for patriot dreams that see beyond the years.

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!"

Odd choices you put on your list.

From that list, I went with Geordi. Just like him, that's all. Paris would be second.

Wow, you have quite a taste in classical movies. Psycho, N X NW, Vertigo, Rear Window - love Hitchcock? (So do I - no complaints!)

I agree that Jaws rates up there. Citizen Kane is still considered the best movie ever made. (And War of the Worlds is still considered the best radio broadcast ever made - there'll never be another Mr. Welles.) IMO, no one has ever made a Western better than High Noon, or a mob movie better than Godfather, or a scifi movie better than SW. (TWOK is still my fave, though.)

Out of that list, though, the best is probably Citizen Kane. My fave is either High Noon or Rear Window. It's too bad they don't make many classic movies anymore. (not NONE...just not MANY)

I think it's sad! I know I obviously love DS9, but still...

I now have Rodney Dangerfield going through my head..."No respect - no respect!"

So, VBG, my Great Guru - did they live together before they married? I really missed a lot toward the end...I haven't seen the ep you mentioned.

Hm...sometimes I wonder how much of a Lady I am in real life. :)

About 17 years ago (geez, has it really been that long?), for relaxation and kicks (and to amuse my sister), I started writing ST fanfic. Eight or so years ago, I developed a character named Lady Narana (who DEFINITELY is no lady), again to amuse myself and this same sister. After more than five hundred pages of text, the woman has taken over my life. I am Narana or Ana (another incarnation) wherever I go online. She is named "Narana" because I was fooling around with words easy to type.

As of this note, I am currently writing the last Narana story, much to my sister's dismay. (She's 37 - she'll get over it.) I haven't told her I'm thinking of a prequel... :)

Thanks, Sam. BTW, I love and adore your avatar.

I was at the laundromat, sitting on the floor folding clothes when two women told me that a plane had hit the first tower; that's all they knew. And they said it so casually, like it was no big deal. So the first thing I thought of was when a plane hit the Empire State Building years ago - a small plane, no big deal. So I came home and switched on the tv and heard about the second plane hit. My father was here, working on the foundation of my house, and I went outside to tell him. We both came in and watched nothing but news for hours. To this day, I can't watch the footage of the towers coming down - I flash back to watching it live that day, and I feel ill.

I went to work at 2:00 pm, and noone at work knew anything except what customers were telling them, so after filling them in with what I had been hearing, I got my portable radio from the car, and we listened to the news while working. I stayed late that night; went home around midnight. It was very, very strange - there was absolutely no traffic on the road, and yet lights were on in almost every house - and I live 26 miles from work. Like a lot of people, I'm sure, I had nightmares about collapsing, burning buildings that night.

VBG, you're always my savior (lower case!) when it comes to questions.

I think her eyes are dark, too. MA's are blue - must come from her mother. But didn't two actresses play Z?

1) Does anyone remember the color of Ziyal's eyes?

2) Does Rom ever propose to Leeta on the show, or is it just referenced?

Thanks a lot, guys!

Wait... so all those creatures in the council were Xindi?  I didn't expect them to be so drastically different.  I'm a little slow on the uptake here.    And on T'Pol's new look... I like it.  She looks cooler.

Ok, now I'm one person who's never seen "AOTC", so bear with me. But I HAVE read quite a few ST books. Does anyone remember an old ST book about the Enterprise carrying the everlasting ambassadors that keep getting killed off? It was a Pocket Book, I think.

Click for Spoiler:

I just finished it, too, and I think the ending was fine. And, yes, it reminds me of the arcs in DSNine. I like the arcs, rather than a totally new situation this week.

Click for Spoiler:

All right, all right, y'all - I am now officially watching Enterprise regularly. I KNEW it was just a matter of time! Now I just have to find someone around here with the first two seasons on tape.

Anyone mind if I ask some basic, stupid questions in the future, to make sure that I'm right in my assumptions??

Good ep!

So soon after TT? And during the run of ROTK? Sheez, I'm going to be out of money until I'm dead...

I enjoyed this movie. I also loved The Rockford Files, etc., and it was so great seeing them in action again! I wasn't really so upset about them being "so old" - I just saw it as a film about men who still felt vital and who were needed and who answered the call. They jumped through the hoops and proved themselves worthy. Why not? Except for James Garner, they're all younger than Shatner...
