Really? I feel great! Mwahahahhahahahahahahah...,glech! BLACHHK! FRRRPPPTTTT!

Woo! Never mock people while you have a Halls in your mouth.

I'm getting to write my plotless story for a grade in my philosophy class. Except now I've began to rewrite it, and I'm sorely over compensating on the fact this has become a philosophy project, and taking a few minutes just to write one line.

You're wrong. The best is STTNG, but only the episodes where the Borg absorb Picard, & suppress his emoting & over-acting genes.

Overacting? Surely you jest. Captain Kirk has that one for the next 1000 years.

And DS9 is the one trek that had characters who developed and changed rather than having the "reset" button pushed almost every week.

The Next Generation did have character development, story arcs, and frequently related back to prior episodes and encounters. Data learned about how complicated being human is, Wesley was growing into a man, Riker had lots of sex, Q really messed with them, and Picard proved himself to be the best captain. Even holodeck experiences carried over to other episodes.

Shatner had range though.....at times no acting at all...all the way to over the top with campy flair. Stewart was just too pretentious touchy feely, & ill suited to being a captain. He should'a been the ship's counselor.

Pbbbbt! Stay'n in one place way too much.....sorta General Hospital in space with rubber masks.

I agree about Shatner, but I love Picard, because I love Patrick Stewart. I've always thought he had a very pleasant sounding voice.

Steward annoyed me as Picard, but he was good in "Extras".....

Think I'm done discussing theology, with theists. If I don't believe in something, I don't need to convince others to join me.

This comment isn't that meaningless.

I liked him as Zobek, King Uriel Septim VII, Agent Avery Bullock, Captain Ahab, Susie Swanson, an extra on The Daily Show, even as the narrator in Ted. And of course as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

DS9 had many more Klingons than TNG. And they had a tribble redux. And nasty, shape-shifting aliens. And characters who were evil/good/evil/good/evil.

TNG had some great episodes but overall everyone on the ship was sweet. That reminds me of:

Captain K'Vada: [laughs heartily] Don't you two look sweet! Be careful, Android; some Romulan beauty might take a liking to you - lick that paint right off your ears.

But since you liked travel, you must have loved Voyager, right? And 7 of 9?

Klingons are just a bunch of silly overgrown and oversized boys. And why have an evil/good/evil/good character when you have Q, who is just a Q? He's on DS9, but he's a TNG original (and an original, original at that!). And TNG gave us the Borg, who are so bad *** I can think of only one sci-fi race capable of defeating them, and with very minimal risk of assimilation, and weapons the Borg would be unable to adapt to. TNG also gave us, by the standards back then, a ton of female characters, strong female characters on the deck, and it didn't go where no man has gone before because it went were no one has gone before. TNG also acknowledged transgender attendees at Riker's wedding, which I'm surprised didn't make heads explode when Nemesis came out.

TNG had some great episodes but overall everyone on the ship was sweet.

Of course. They had high standards of professionalism, unlike those slackers aboard DS9.

Hopefully moving to Colorado Springs in two months. This is it.

I don't expect women to understand Klingons.

But I do agree about Q and most of the other points. And Brent Spiner was wonderful as Data/Lore/... Of course when you're speaking of the Borg, Species 8472 who could have done it except for the pesky humans and close to a 'deus ex machina' which has the humans pulling a rabbit from the hat in the nick of time (as usual, of course).

I thought about it and decided to avoid a flame war volley back about the lack of ongoing character development in TNG.

But what I REALLY believe is that Babylon 5 was better than all of the trek series.

I did something stupid yesterday. I'm glad my boss is not angry.

 

[Tarheeler]

I had my first pottery session last night after taking a few months off.

My shoulders are sore, but I had a great time.

Voyager was The Love Boat but with a manlier captain. (That means I didn't like it.) Of course, no matter how bad the shows were, I had to watch'm.

For why?

For these, of course!

If Wile E. Coyote has taught me anything, it's to never wear those on the edge of a cliff.

 

[Revoltingest]

Actually, it all worked out quite well in the end....
