I think this is a good thing. No offense to George Lucas, but the old man was losing his touch, as evidenced by the prequel trilogy. Scenes in the prequel movies were far too busy in my opinion, which made it difficult to focus on anything. Because most of it was filmed in front of a blue screen, the environments were simulated and it seemed far to sterile. I can't imagine how much of a challenge it must have been for the actors, but unfortunately it was difficult for me to be emotionally invested in the characters. Based on the interviews and such that I have watched, it seems Lucas had absolute control over the story and pretty much everything else in those movies. No one on the production team dared question the cult of personality surrounding Lucas, thus by the time they realized they had gone way too far (Rick McCallum himself even admitted this) it was too late. Due to some of the horrible criticism the prequel movies received, George Lucas said he'd never make the sequel trilogy.
My point is this; Disney has entire teams of some of the best creative writers anywhere in the world. Most, if not all of their movies are huge successes, and they appeal to a wide demographic of moviegoers. I have little doubt they will stay true to the Star Wars universe we know, and I think they will do great things with the Star Wars franchise. They will go places with it outside the bounds of one man's tunnel vision.

I have a feeling that if the sequels to Star Trek take the franchise even further, that he won't quit the convention circuit. I can understand retiring from acting, but it probably wouldn't be wise to completely disengage from Star Trek just as it gets its second (or third) wind.

I suppose a signature should be something that represents you, how you feel, or what you believe. I dunno, I do a bit of graphic design in my free time and I can never come up with something for a signature that I remain happy with for too long.

Ok Van Roy, that cracked me up, not gonna lie.

Patrick Stewart?

My favorite with him would be "Prophecy", even though it's not really a Neelix episode. His attraction to Klingon women is hillarious, and I like how he completely wrecks Tuvok's quarters.

My experience with horses amounts to the time I've spent cleaning horse stalls at my uncle's barn. :P
Anyway, my favorite sport to play? I played baseball for 6 years, so that would probably be it.
Favorite sport to watch? Basketball

I never stated that it wouldn't be advantageous for the US to officially adopt the metric system. In fact, by being in the military, I use the metric system on a regular basis as all branches of the US military have used it almost exculsively for quite some time. I would also support some sort of policy that would make it the sole system of measurement for the US.
I don't think most Europeans, or even most Americans understand how extensively the metric system is used today in the US. We're surrounded by metrication in our cars, in our stores, and it's taught in our schools. I personally believe that our usage of imperial units is just one more obstacle we need to negotiate in order to make us more compatible with Europe.
I didn't mean to sound terse in my comment to Irene, I just took hers as being a bit off-colored, and she has since stated her intended meaning.
All is good in my view.
That said, I'm 179 CM.

Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States. :PWas that really necessary?
