I was dubious of your coding abilities.

…AND VULCANS AT KITTY HAWK???

I still have bolding problems. But I can do boxes. It was only this year that I learned how to link to stuff–and then only because two other Dopers taught me.

HyperText Markup Language?  
Is that it?  
That’s all I know about it.  
Can you link to another thread? I’m still afeard to try that.  
(Actually, could we transport over to the Regen thread? I don’t want to 'jack **tarragon’s** thread any more than I already have.

Linking’s easy and I’m just following you around the same as I do every night. Last one beamed to the Regen thread has to scrub the plasma conduits!

The only reason you beat me is 'cause I was too busy writing code for a quote and a link to this thread! :mad:

Yeah, yeah, yeah…Okay, I will concede that one, feeling unusually generous this morning. I had yoga and am a bit more pliable than usual. NO, not THAT pliable.

Let this be a lesson to all Dopers: No Enterprise related thread is safe from us. We are gods among insects!

[I don’t get that line but Magneto said it in X2 to Pyro and it sounded cool so I stole it. Ain’t I evil?]

And at the end of May, I start Pilates.

I was trying to poke and prod you but the emoticons came up. Then when I actually mean to use one, it doesn’t work.

Stupid emoticons.

Oh yes, I’ve read the latest issue of TV guide, and wanted to post about it, then couldn’t find the code for the spoiler box… well duh, it’s simple enough to figure out, I just didn’t think of it!

Anyway…

The new direction the Enterprise takes involves a new or at least previously unseen race from somewhere called the Delphic Expanse, which Vulcans explain as something akin to the Bermuda Triangle of Space. 😃 There is an attack on Earth that wipes out part of North and South America (Florida to Venezuela?), including Trip’s family and home in Florida. Enterprise is recalled to Earth, then sent out to theh Delphic Expanse … that’s how Season 2 will end. Also, they will get some non-Starfleet types along on the ship to help out with their “mission”

I’m not sure what to think… will keep an open mind, though, and see how things play out. It does sound like it’s more messing with “canonical” Trek to me, though. ☹

Well actually… “Bounty” is with -both- the Tellarite AND T’Panda! 😃 I just checked on the official ST site and Bounty is the one where T’Pol feels the effects of Pon Farr… which I had previously thought was only felt by male Vulcans (wow, that was a sexist thought on my part now!). And I love Phlox, so am looking forward to T’Pol and Phlox in Decon. 🙂

[spoiler]As I said in another thread, from Florida to Venezuela is the Carribean Sea. What gets wiped out? Sharks? Flipper? Slightly lost penguins?

I am looking forward with Glee and Trepidation (my cousins! Say Hi!) to the “new direction” B&B will be going.[/spoiler]

Maybe going into the Delphic expanse will lead to the Enterprise meeting up with Romulans in greater numbers.

Wait! wait! Guys, are we just going to let this go? Am I the only one who doesn’t know what “hinky” means? Like, I’m thinking it means “gruesome” or possibly “graphic,” or maybe just “poorly-framed.” But what does that have to do with Sweden?

Man, my brain hurts.  
Hey, **v.l.twages** - Yoga and Pilotes both? Good for you! I don’t like following rules, so I sort of combine the two into some weird, incoherent exercise amalgam. It’s fun!
