but at the moment i'm in london actually, studying.



Excellent. Well, let's be honest, it is a damn cool sounding name for a ship! If you don't mind my asking, what are you studying??

Hey, I used to be a German! Heidelberg area. Converted to Americanism sometime ago. But I go back regularly.

Welcome Rainstick:

No offence taken. We are geeks and proud of it.
Don't worry about watching the show to much. You'll find people here who have worn out their first set of DVD's and are working on their second. Actually I don't know if you can wear out a DVD. But you give it a try.

So welcome to your new home.

The show has aired in many countries, though admittedly the airings were all after the show was already cancelled. Three episodes (Trash, The Message & Heart Of Gold) had their world premiere airing in the UK.

I emigrated. I've lived in Germany eight years altogether, but five of them were at the very beginning. I didn't always think this way, but now there is definitely "the old country" and "home". I live here in California with Klinsi.
