Quote:Yeah, but neither Willow nor Fred were much with the fighting (Willow came close, but she mostly relied on magic and left the punching & kicking to Buffy). The usual manifestation is to have the relatively weak scientist (Will, Fred, Kaylee) paired with the not-too-bright fighter (Buffy, Angel, Mal).

BTW: I can't remember who mentioned the Warrior Scientist, but you forgot Willow Rosenberg, scientist/witch on Buffy and Fred Burkle scientist/demon fighter on Angel. Although I do love that Daniel Jackson. There should be more scientist warriors. I say this as a scientist, and a weekend warrior (okay, or not).
In fact, Daniel started out that way (with Jack as his foil), but started becoming more badass around S3 or S4 (similarly, we realize that Jack is a fair bit smarter than he pretends to be). Jonas Quin had the same evolution, just faster 'cause he was only around for one season. Carter was always there (quantum physicist, fought in the gulf war). Don't know much about Mitchell (we've only just started S9 in Canada), but he seems to have a good blend (a fighter, but explicitly wants to learn from Daniel, knows how to study, etc).
I'm thinking more of warriors who are informed by their grasp of science, or scientists who are trained and skilled in weapons and combat strategies.
Yeah, I forgot Donatello. He qualifies. There's also Logan, from Dark Angel, though he spends much of the series in a wheelchair. River would probably fit, what with her genius-level IQ and Reaver-killing skills.
Most of my examples actually come from Transformers: Starscream (air commander/planetary physicist), Skyfire (combat flyer/astrophysicist), Wheeljack (quantum physicist/inventor/stunt-driver/infantry), Crosswise (technician/infantry/ninja), Tarantulas (quantum physicist/assassin/undercover operative), Rhinox (technician/spiritual guru/holder of the Kickass Chaingun of Doom), Botannica (biochemist/ship captain), etc. I guess it comes with the territory for cybernetic life-forms.

Just wanted to ask if you recalled any particularly good quotes and memorable scenes from the show ( i'm thinking of starting a website since everything else I've come across so far is...never mind.
Peace to you...
It's been a while; most of the quotes I can recall are variations on Sh'lainn's "you've got thirty seconds to live" warnings or Nick's sarcastic "thank you General Rinnaker" tagline. I guess I'll have to re-watch and compile a list.

You can make mead in the span of a weekend? Good god! woman where have you been all my life? That stuff usually takes the better part of a year to set up.
Scorpion Regent
Well, I put all the stuff together and it's now fermenting happily. Won't be drinkable for a few months, won't be at peak yumminess for a few years. Luckily, I have some I brewed last year all ready to bottle, see -
**opens fermention lock, siphons a bit out for you to try**
BEG: mead is super good! But for heaven's sake don't buy it at the liquor store. That stuff is dreadful, brewed with hops, all wrong! Made right it can like a Tokay (uh, Hungarian dessert wine. Try it if you haven't!)
Scorpion (is this a farscape reference?): the SCA thing is intriguing. Especially if all the nice boys are hiding out there. I haven't gotten around to looking at the web sites, will when I get a chance!

Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.
"I have a Master's degree ... in science!"
The SCA is really cool, where I am. I don't know where you are so I can't say for certain that it's cool where you are, but it stands to reason that it is / will be. The SCA is like a elephant to a blindman or snow to a eskimo, multiple veiw points and perspectives. With some many people participating it has to be that way. The way I understand it, The SCA is about recreating European history from the late roman empire to about 1600 not the way it was, but the way we would have rather had it. No plagues. Strong women are loved and revered not burned at the stake. Wars are bloodlesss, glorious and over in time for dinner, with a nice break for lunch in the middle. Nobles are really that noble and serve their people, not enslave them ( Like Orlando Bloom's character in Kindom of Heaven). Tolerance and diversity are championed.
That is the ideal, what I have found is this: if you were ostracised in high school for reading LOTR and playing D&D, (Once upon a time there was no LOTR movie, you had to read and see it in your head) if you were considered a misfit, but you knew that you were doing nothing wrong only dreaming, if you ever wanted to leave your 9 to 5 existence behind and dance around a roaring bonfire to the sound of drums, if you ever felt that you were dumbing yourself down to deal with the world around you, then there maybe a place for you in the SCA. Yes there are some incredible people here, please come and be one of them. You can bring your mead, (and your beer and your wine and you vodka and your tequila {shudder}). If you are in alcohol recovery be warned the SCA may be hazardous to your soberiety.
Promise me though, that if you you try it and the SCA doesn't measure up to your expectations, you won't hunt me down and get midevil on my ass. The knights come, for the most part, without horses. Horses are messy, exspensive, occasionally difficult and sometimes dangerous. Some events have horses, but not most.
The handle Scorpion Regent is in reference to the house of Scorpio in which I was born. I just threw the regent part on the end because it makes me sound regal. It has nothing to do with Farscape. I thought the show was cool though.

I think SimonWho's responce was mostly facetious, judging by my knowledge of the evil Dr.
Someday I will be as evil as he.
Until then I shall plot with my Monkey Ninja's.
Be still my pretties, be still.
What is SCA, did I miss something?

Dail-up at home, away from work, makes this a bit more painful. But hey, pain can be so worth it.

BlackLily: Are you talking Roswell the TV show? Fuck I loved that show!!! I don't think there's a database like they have for Buffy or lines and stuff, but there totally should be. I think the CrashDown (crashdown.com I think) might have something if they are still around.
Loved Roswell, well not so much the girl they added as the forth one, but I think that was kinda the point. "Michael" is now a lab tech on CSI:Miami. I think Roswell Conspiracies was an animated thing, never saw much of it.

Um Isn't confusion part of the fun? I also don't trust anyone who claims to be always happy, the only way that is possible is with HUGE amounts of drugs. Cos no one can be happy all the time (just like it can't rain all the time).
More Crow Yay! Did you ever get the CD with J O'Barrs band. It came with the Hardcover version. Trust Obey - Fear and Bullets. It's not great but has lots of Crow quotes mixed in. "lead poisoning" heh.

It's astonishing how well people know me.
Is it too obvious to insist those who defame me are fitted with ball gags?

Ball-gags? can't we just use Duct-Tape? It's so much cheaper.
Going back to new thread now (Move people!)

Could You?
If you could I'd be on a delirius high for days to come..
Just kidding. Though I'd be sincerely grateful if you could find the time to compile a list.
Peace to you...
The truth will set you free..
But first it'll piss you off.

B.E.G., you are hi-larious. 
I too know someone who married somebody he met on eHarmony. He's relatively screwed up (but not in a way that harms others) and yet managed to find someone. However...I don't think he's that happy. But he wasn't that happy by himself, so odds of him being happy in a relationship aren't good.
He started off his first year of marriage by talking about all of his favorite activities that he was going to give up to "concentrate on his relationship." Sounds dreadful.
Anyhoo, eHarmony has found a match for me and he wants to talk...only thing is, he's 10 years older...i.e., 50. The idea of dating a 50-year-old man freaks me out. Am I just being narrow-minded? My dad is only 62! His profile says he's in great shape and often mistaken for being much younger. (And most people guess I'm about 30). To communicate with him it's gonna cost me at least $50. A dollar for every year...how ironic.
So, random strangers, what should I do?

Just a whole bevy of bad browncoat humor. Oi, I am so strange.
ROFL
