Rugs and covers? I like it!



¡Agachándose y Cubriendo!


At least, according to GoogleTranslate...

Personally, TOS isn't my fav by a long shot. DS9 is still my favorite Trek by far, followed by TNG. I didn't care for Voyager or Enterprise (though it did get pretty cool in season 4), or a few of the movies. JJ's Trek was in my top 3 of Trek films along with Khan and First COntact. Then I'd rank TOS.

7of9 Rules.

I have to say this because aside from DS9's Kira Nyrese (I love strong women in sci-fi - Leia, Kira, Seven, Alice-Resident Evil) Jeri Ryan was a decent enough actress who played Seven to the nines (pun intended).

There is one particular episode, that is a fav from Voyager, that spoke volumes both about the show and Ryan's character: The episode was called "Drone," which aired in season 5; here is a link to the Wiki page:

There is one other favorite of mine involving another strong female character: B'Elanna Torres.
"Muse," which aired in the 6th season:

I agree that there were times I was disappointed, but those were few and far between.

"tira y tapate" literally means "throw something, then cover"

Sorta duck & coverish.

As Jayne would say, "sure be nice if we had some grenades."

Heeheheheheh... that makes more sense. When I typed it in as a google search, it brought back "rugs and covers". Which is ALMOST the same as "throws and covers", if you're thinking of a them as rugs, not as verbs. :)


And here I was thinking I had an idea for a new name for a rug store: "Tira y Tipate". Nope, not quite the same!

Kinda like how "finger puppets" sound okay as a noun; not so much as a verb.

Well, you could consider it if you think of a throw rug, that covers a stain on the floor.

Hee, hee :-)

You didn't mind the nacelles being too close together, or the "neck" being too far back on the secondary hull?

Can I assume then that you like the new FX on the newly remastered eps?

Did I let nit picks over ship design spoil my enjoyment of a damned fun movie? Nope.

Besides, I like the design just fine anyway.

But it's okay, I've gotten accustomed to your monthly "TOS rocks so hard, please stop liking the new one" threads.
