    If you like being told what to do all the time, ordered around constantly and paid poorly, then definitely enlist. Others have already mentioned the danger, and the possible trauma, both mental and physical. If you must, I would suggest the Navy or Air Force which are a bit safer.

    What am amazing night with two overtime games! Poor West Virginia leading most of the game, but couldn't put Louisville away. Then Illinois looked done but came back from 15 down to tie it up and send it into overtime. I respect Arizona and Lute Olson, but Illinois really amazed me the way they came back. Arizona just couldn't make the last shots to win. And two more Big Ten teams play tomorrow!

    Three Big Ten teams in the Elite eight! Even though I did not pick them all! :P UNC looks like it still may make it past Villanova and Kentucky is currently leading too. My brackets are mostly busted but its been an interesting tournament so far. Still pulling for Illinois tho Arizona looked tough last night.

    I liked the show better after the Dominion story arc was introduced. I do think that the show could have done a bit more outside of the Dominion arc after the war started. I mean I understand, their at war so that is the main thing happening, but I think a few more stand alone episodes not dealing with the war could have helped maintain the interest of those not interested in the war.

     

    I agree that a bit more outside the Dominion arc would have given a bit more variety. The struggle was great, very interesting, but life does go on during a war and not every star trek fans is war-oriented. I liked pre dominion too, but post Dominion was more compelling. I liked Jadzia more but Ezri was fine in her own way. A man as Dax would have been very interesting.

    I think it is very ironic that Jeri Ryan would take such a role since her ex-husband had to withdraw from his campaign for the Illinois senate last year because of a sex scandal. The scandal - to sumarize it briefly - involved her being upset when her husband took her to some sex clubs, where she refused to participate. The point was that she was not a sexual object. For her to then be in a role where she is highly sexual just seems wrong.

    We're on the way to the elite eight. Illini just won, and Louisville "upset" Washington. I'm not totally surprised, as I've heard several "experts" say Louisville should never have been as low as number 4 and that Washington should have been a 2 not a #1. Looking forward to the W. Virginia game as they have played well and also the AZ vs OSU game. I'm a big fan of Coach Lute from when he ws coach at Iowa. OSU has looked really tough though, so it should be a great game.

    Why or why doesn't Paramount start up a Trek channel?  It doesn't have to run 24/7; many cable channels split the time with other ones.  If they just ran continuous eps. of all the series on their half  I believe it would do well.

    This would be great, but it presupposes that Paramount cares about the fans rather than just making money. I know I'm being cynical, but with the cancelation of Enterprise, and the attitude of B and B about Trek needing to take a break, I just don't trust Paramount to do something for the good of the fans.

    Dragonwrangler is on the right track. I was thinking of public toilet cleaner, since 1) there are none shown in ships plans and 2) the ship is self cleaning :P But seriously I would like to be either a teacher or a librarian on the Enterprise!

    My favorite Romulan episodes

     

    TOS both "The Balance of Terror" and "The Enterprise Incident"

     

    TNG "The Defector" and "Face of the Enemy" (Sirtis made a much better Romulan than Betazoid :P  plus we get to see the crew of a warbird interacting)

     

    DSN "In the Pale Moon Light" and "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"

     

    "The Enemy" and "The Neutral Zone" are great ones too. (I've always wished that instead of using the Cardassians on DSN that they had made the Romulans the former occupiers of Bajor with Marc Alaimo returning to his role, from "The Neutral Zone", of Commander Tebok.

    Pretty much agree with everything said here. I especially liked Balance of Terror with the actor who later portrayed Spock's father. I especially liked Neutral Zone and the Commander Tebok character. I also enjoyed the episodes where Spock went to Romulus and Picard came to try to rescue him and determine whether he is a traitor (they encountered the daughter of Tasha Yar).

    I have been looking at your movie site and still photo gallery of shots from filming.

    This looks amazingly great. I am so impressed with your sets! They look fantastic. The make-up and costumes look wonderful. I can't wait to see this movie. I have been a Star Trek fan (TOS) since the first episode back in the sixties. I also love TNG. Good luck and thank you so much for the updates!
