Yep, Starbuck always carried his coffee mug around with him on Ahab’s ship. “And I alone am escaped to tell thee…” Yes, **Tars** , to your question. I was trying to steer away from B.G., but since you ast…I felt compelled to answer. ---

Okay, I’ll tell ya. It’s the glasses. Kirk sells them in 1986 when they’re chasing whales. This is before, yet after, Bones gives them to him in TWOK. In TVH, they are playing the part of whalers. Kahn likes _Moby Dick_. Kirk was reading _A Tale Of Two Cities_ and had to use his glasses. Which he sold in 1986, after he got them from Bones. “Dammit Jim! Other people have birthdays, why are we treating yours like a funeral?” As far as I can see, the best and worst of times became manifest in Genesis. They lost Spock (boo!), yet they got him back (yeay!). They went home (yeay!), to a court martial (boo!). They saved their “good” future/present by going back to their “bad” past. Whales, like Moby, you see, saved their asses. Sure, it’s all a stretch, but it fit together in my twisted mind. Maybe The Great Bird of the Galaxy had that in the back of his mind, maybe it’s just a fascinating coincidence. A 3 movie geek arc. Janeway drinks a lot of coffee, but I wasn’t thinking about that. It was just the classic literature references that got me working. ---

okay, that wasn’t very good after all, was it? What do you expect form an off the cuff challenge? What other literary refs can we find in Trek eps? (Several Picardian things jump out at me!) Kn(\*)ckers will probably try to make something funny out of that parenthetical staement, you watch. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tracer \* > **"What is Star-buckin’?"** I think that should be “What kind of crime is Star-buckin’?” I’m so ashamed that I know that. I guess, after **Cervaise’s** post, we know what kind of crime “starbuckin” is. [Take a look at this IMDB entry - they’re “re-imagining” it.](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0314979) And Starbuck’s female! :eek: BTW, what’d I ever do to you, **Aesiron**? Were my limericks that bad? 😛 ---

Huh. Re-imagining. They should re-imagine that silly Minefield episode from last night, without the boring-ass defusing scenes. And with more **[fushia]Panda[/fushia]**. Can never have too much… ---

Dammit, if I want there to be a fuchsia, there’ll be one. Now that I know how to spell it… It’s a purply-pinky thing… Not as red as what I ended up with above. Also it’s a plant. But that’s not what I was talking about.
