Pilates is some sort of excercise? I thought she meant she going to kill a messiah or something. ---

It does sound like it’s more messing with “canonical” Trek to me, though. ☹ \*\* * * * I don’t think it’s supposed to be permanent. Some sort of story arc to play out for a while. And it’s only the 3rd season. Poor Trip. He may come completely unglued after all the stuff that’s going to happen to his fam. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tarragon918 \* > \*\*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. 🙂 \*\* Thank you for the correction. I can’t seem to get much right these days, but hey, finals and research papers are upon me.

Hmmm. Well, I’m excited about the fact that the’re introducing another “classic” Trek species. Actually, much like the Andorians, this is a pretty good choice. Although they appeared in TOS, I don’t remember learning much about them, so they have pretty much free reign to set them up any way they want without being afraid of messing with cannon. In fact, they’d do a lot better by spending a lot _more_ time with some of these people, rather than introducing a ton of new aliens that, based on previous series/future events, somehow disappear into (sub)space. ---

Looking at my previous post, I notice that the phrase “previous series/future events” is a bit awkward. Have we come up with a more elegent way of addressing this combination? “The major problem [with time travel] is quite simply one of grammar” “Most readers get as far as the Future Semi-Conditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up” -Douglas Adams, The Resturaunt at the end of the Universe. ---

Cause it sounds so close to “pierogies”, which are very yummy. re: the “New Direction” spoilers - That sounds really exciting! I hope it turns out to be cool, and not old boring poorly-done crap. Fingers crossed! ---

Maybe season 3 of ENT can be called “Star Trek: Crusade” which will ALWAYS be “an event”. ---

I saw the trailer for bounty. T’Pol in pan farr was embarassing. They had a couple of decent shows and now they are going to do skin. Dammit. ---

_Star Trek: Crusade_ would be kewl. They could be on a quest for the Holy Warp Core. They could use special weapons like the Holy Photon Torpedo of Antioch. When Quantum asks the Klingons to join in their quest, the Klingon Bastards Who Killed My Son would taunt them and say, “We’ve already got one, you see. It’s very nice ah.” Sir Runs Around Likes A Ninny (Malcolm) could come up with some ingeneous plans, all of them involving technology that hasn’t been invented yet. Chekov is shown to be an immortal kn(\*)ght gaurding the Grail, er…, Warp Core, who has to use a Wrussian accent and make weetle queeps about Mother Wrussia all the time, lest he lose his virginity. Immorality. ImmorTality. Tripp (the Chaste) would constantly find himself having sex with aliens for no good reason. T’Pol and Hoshi play all their scenes nekkid. Maywether becomes MERLINweather and is struck dumb by a mirror universe mirror showing up in crewman Danielle’s room. No Daniels any more. We need more Panda, so bring in Danielle. Make her like Andrea from _What Are Hot Nasty Little Girls Who Want You Now Made Of?_ (TOS). It’s so crazy, it just might weerk! ---

Oh, HAHAHAHAHHA!! Something funny just occurred to me - from the Travis-palooza a couple weeks ago: **A Star Trek Event: Horizon** Hahaha! “Event horizon”! Get it? It’s puntastic! (sorry if someone already commented on this. I’m hoping it’s an original observation, but maybe not. I also wish I’d though of it in a more timely fashion.) ---
