Captain Armstrong

Ben & Jerry can talk ice cream to me all they want. But when it comes to politics, I prefer making my own decisions. I'm a little concerned with everyone treating Obama like the second coming when he has had so little political experience. I still only have the most basic understanding of where he stands on most of the important issues of the day (because he never elaborates), so I'm reserving my final decision on which candidate I'll vote for in November.

Right now I'm leaning toward McCain, because I see him as the most moderate of the four candidates remaining and the one best suited to dealing with either a Democratic-led or GOP-led Congress. McCain's not perfect, I have some issues with him in some areas. But overall, he's more palatable to me.

This is one of the fan produced series I regularly watched. I'm not comfortable with the change either, but will wait and see.

acetaminophen tablets.....I have a nasty headcold.

I read this either yesterday or early this morning. I didn't really know what to think. I still don't. Except that for some reason, I'm not entirely comfortable with this.

Its only a bad thing until the government starts selling cars. Then the environment can go hang. Just like in any other country, I suppose.

<_< Pretty good CP. I personally celebrated the day they axed Ent, but I guess (obviously) some fans enjoyed the show.

Just my opinion, but Spock's World was horrible.

The book failed on so many levels, that it would be impossible for me to list all my gripes. But a few of the main ones are that Diane Duane made Vulcans too similar to pre-Federation humans, at times the cultures seem indistinguishable. Then we have a Surak with all the appeal of a health and wealth gospel televangelist. And this guy changed the face of a civilization overnight? <_< Finally, the scenes of Vulcans annihilating an entire alien armada using only the collective power of their minds and then mentally projecting images of the destruction back to the aliens homeworld was too much. They're Vulcans, not gods.

Read it if you must, but you can't take it seriously as an historical text.

Cha knyey. My girlfriend is cooking for me tonight. <_< Its basically spicy chicken stir fry.

I went with Janeway, despite the times I shouted at my t.v. set and wanted to strangle her. My second pick was for Kes, simply because she was so darned cute.

I wouldn't call Voyager the weakest series. I reserve that low place exclusively for Enterprise.

Voyager could have been better. I really wish they had stayed with the original concept longer (Neelix being the native guide, the Maquis being unpredictable and independent, Tom Paris being the bad boy with no allegiances to anyone). But before we knew it, it was one big happy Starfleet crew, Neelix was Julia Child and all that was out the window. <_<

Still, Voyager managed to shine from time to time, and I don't consider any of the seasons particularly "weak", as I enjoyed them all (certain episodes aside). And it did have at least one character, The Doctor, who has become one of my all time favorite Trek personalities.

I always thought that they should have changed uniforms. It would have given them a sense of "home" and still belonging, despite being so far away. Star Trek writers are notorious for not caring about continuity, so of course, they overlooked or ignored the uniform change when the time came. Its just one of the little things that raise my blood pressure when it comes to the Trek universe.

Wow...you mean that there is something at The Experience store that actually costs less than $10?...

I find that absolutely amazing. <_<

One of my favorite DS9 episodes ever. And Jadzia looked awesome in that red mini.

I'm not too crazy about the all CGI aspect, either. Well, hopefully it won't be too bad. <_<

"Wild World"

 

Cat Stevens

<_< I just finished listening to that about 2 minutes ago.....lol

Right now, I'm listening to "Here Comes The Sun" ~ Richie Havens

There just weren't enough episodes of TNG that featured Wesley saving the day. <_<

542

Wonder if Patrick could have done a passable German accent? My brother-in-law Harald (huge Trek fan) is always complaining that there are no German officers in Starfleet.

"Ich danke Ihnen, Nummer eins."

"Sie sind willkommen, Kapitänleutnant."

<_<

I was just trying to remember the exact line. I was going to add it to my post. Lol.

Your right, though. Decker pretty much said the ship was totally new.

"Angeles"

~ Elliott Smith

Is Lake Mead the one with the flesh eating Naegleria fowleri floating around in it, or was that Havasu? <_<

What, do they want to kill the restaurant business? That's like keeping rich people out of the stock market!

<_< I just choked on my beer.

This is a stupid waste of time. Just some low level politician trying to grab some face time on television.

My great uncle and aunt still live in a little shack out on the bayou. They have no electricity, use a privy and keep their own animals for meat. I used to spend summers with my uncle Monroe (who I love to death) fishing for crabs, crawfish, garfish, and just about anything else we could trap or hook on a line. I've watched my aunt Lena snap chicken necks, pluck 'em and prepare them for a pot. I've seen rabbits and hogs slaughtered. Eaten nutrias, squirrels, turtles, ducks. If it flies, burrows or swims through central Florida or southern Louisiana I've probably eaten it at some point.

Doesn't bother me a bit. That's why they're there. Food. Man has been raising and slaughtering animals for food for thousands of years.

<_< Loved that.

I've always considered the refit Connie a new class of starship. Not only is it larger, but most of the ships systems were totally new or re-designed. McCoy didn't recognize sickbay, and Kirk was totally lost on a ship he should have known like the back of his hand.

Nothing about the ST:TMP Enterprise except for the general shape of the ship was familiar. Everything else was completely new and different.
