Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.
lol erm three things about that review...
1. ain't it whore-house
2.Star Trek TNG ... enough said really
3."a geek" he's in denial (and thats not the river either) if he thinks he looks cool with his Star Trek TNG T-shirt on.
i could really lay into TNG but i just don't want to go there...lowers myself to the reviewers level.
i suppose he wants Mal wearing a pastie on his forehead at least and Kaylee with some half crazed visor.
cough gimp cough cough
damn my cough.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Ever try to get a Delawarean to do something he/she didn't have a mind to do in the first place? Nigh on impossible. Oh, well.
Planning on going to the BDM next year? I will start at Glasgow, then go to Stanton, then in Newark...by then it will be summer, so my next stop will be in Rehoboth.
Soooo looking forward to it.
Mal-licious

Pant, pant...must stop typing.
Sorry for any typos...I don't much cotton to editing my posts except as I go along.
BTW, I'm originally an LA ghetto girl, so as a kid I only had heard of "hos" not "whores" and had a devil of a time trying to figure out their relationship to gardening.

LOL! Fabulous response and I *love* your description of the hos and gardening. Living close to the local strip has ofttimes led me to consider opening our very own Heart of Gold ... perhaps I can convince our police that we're a private gardening club?
... plowing furrows ... oh my!
Cheers,
Annik
... my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

And...I think Book could find an appropriate quote in the good book for your endeavor about men and women and plows -- if River hasn't already edited it. LOL!

Just an object. It doesn't mean what you think....

Damn... I knew that would come back to haunt me.
After watching all of DS9 and loving a good deal of it, I really shouldn't have said what I did, so I appologize. It's really a matter of two things:
a) Didn't want to write another paragraph
b) I'm a tad vindictive about some of the creators' choices towards the show
I see it like this: You're totally right about the politics - mostly awesome, with great characters, and superbly designed alien races. My beef comes in where they go back and IMO wreck a lot of this. Number 1, they keep the whole Bajor thing going on too long. I know it was a tortured, occupied, and cool mystic place; but I became so tired of someone whining about Bajor in every decision. Number 2, alien mockery. They went to all the trouble of fleshing-out the ferrengi into a full blown race (With Arman Shimerman doing a *great* job IMO) and then do some horrific 'Ferrengi' episodes that turn them into a joke (Dominion get some of this too) - and not a good Jayne style one either. Finally, some one-dimensional characters really detract from the show. Things are ultimately saved by exceptional ones like Dukat Garrack, and Bashir, and admittedly the Cardassians remained cool to the last, but I just found these flaws overpowering. Often something that would start out great would dollop on the cheese-factor later on and have me cringing. Akward love stories never helped.
Bottom line: Yeah, I owe them an appology, but I still say that the flaws are a little overpowering as a whole. The series certainly has its glorious, shining moments, but overall, the tone gets messed with. I always found Next Generation to be easier to forgive, because overall, I liked the crew and ship. DS9 had times when I thought: 'hmmm Kira = Bitchy Merc-Gone-Fed, O'Brian = good-hearted Irish drunkard, Rom + Nog = bumbling fools that disgrace the show etc. Next Gen may have used Q in excess, but they never pulled a Grand Negus humiliation act on him (The rennaissance phaser-dogs was close).
BTW, Hi!
I've been lurking these boards for a while, and have come to love this site, and the seemingly very cool people that populate it. If I rant on too much, please slap me and i'll stop.

That would be logical though, can't have logic interfering with cherished beliefs.
Yeah I know I haven't even argued any, because I fear winding up looking like this over some of my own deeply held Star Trek ones...
So I just sorta read and resist...hehe.

"Oh hey, I got an idea. Instead of us hanging
around playing art critic till I get pinched by
the Man, how's about we move away from this
eerie-ass piece of work and get on with our
increasingly eerie-ass day, how's that?"
