Hey, hey! I like sappy love songs and I’m not a…!
Oh, wait… nevermind.
Actually, it was metaphor. Way back yonder in high school, I got laid to a Bryan Adams song. I think it was “Heaven.” I’m pretty sure I got laid, but back in the dark days, anything might have happened. <stilted Kirk style>
…lake…Byron…lane…proofreading overload…system overwhelmed…must stop reading thread…
implosion
You’d think that people would have had enough of sappy love songs
But I look around this board and I see it isn’t so
Oh no
Oh no!
Plagiarisn rears it’s ugly head
and honest men hide
for truth is hostage.
…and spell checkers cringe.
Beware of The Jayson Blair.
What’s wrong with that?
Tell it to the Judge, Van Pelt.
And while we’re at it, I hear that the estate of a certain cartoonist is interested in patent infringement…
Here I go…agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnnnnn…
This thread shall now be known as “Cease Fire Junior.”
Hey, are we gonna do a re-deconstruction next week of “Dead Stop” ?
Hi, Linus!
Anybody watch NASA TV?
They have these class things for kids. Like Space Camp, I guess.
Two ladies were wearing red shirts. Velour Vee necks like Uhura.
We didn’t redo “Minefield” even though I revived it. Hmph.
Speaking of which, I saw it. Really heavy handed but it had ROMULANS~! in badass BIRDS OF PREY~! in it so I can deal with its hamfistedness.
Things I liked: ROMULANS~!, BADASS BIRDS OF PREY~!, the ROMULAN~! language being spoken on screen, and… uh… well. Everything else sorta blends together.
Things I didn’t like: Hoshi gettin’ hurt. That was almost enough for me to hate the ROMULANS~!.
Speaking of the pointy eared badasses, wasn’t the cloaking device relatively new in “Balance of Terror” or was it just an upgrade or what?
T’Pol should have totally had a look of shock on her face when Hoshi said that the “Roomulan Star Empire” had annexed the planet and then clammed up immediately instead of correcting her pronunciation. Like the Vulcans don’t know that the Rommies aren’t their cousins. Idiot.
Reed’s attempted suicide. What the hell? Idiot.
Archer not busting him down to crewman. Idiot.
And finally, the totally unbelievable interstellar surfing that the two male idiots did at the end to save their hides. That’s more contrived than the plan NCB hatched to lose his virginity!
I still liked it though. ROMULANS~! 
(I still want it on tape too, viva. Those ships were swank.)
On my own…
Down the only road i’ve even knoooooowwwn…
Like a Twister i was born to walk aloooone…
The Feds didn’t know about the cloak in the first episode about it.
They don’t. In that same episode, Spock says (I quote from memory) “If, as I supsect, they are related to Vulcans…”
Pft! Spock’s just a Starfleet grunt and not privy to such knowledge. You can’t convince me that T’Pau and Sarek and so on don’t know though. Government coverup!
You’re thinking like Cap’n Leap and Trip(p).
Trip(p) hasn’t figured out that his girl left him due to the machinations of the Vulcans.
Does Trip remind anyone of Dusty Miller in the novel The Guns of Navarone?
Tell me he just didn’t compare me to brow furrower…
Everybody knows I’m Reed!
Aesiron, you might want to reconsider that.
I’m not so sure about Reed’s, er, orientation.
You know how every couple of years during the Cold War a couple of Brits would go skipping of to Mother Russia, hand in hand with a briefcase full of money?
And a Royal Navy guy who’s afraid of the water? He’s a wimp at best. Blowing things up and making loud noises is some form of compensation, if you ask me.
Okay, let’s look at who else I could be:
Archer: Handicapped, obviously. The 22nd Century is ultra-PC though, so he got a ship.
T’Pol: Schizophrenic, so annoying that her own species stuck her on a ship full of monkeys.
Hoshi: I’d be her but I’d die. Remember that experiment with the rats and the pleasure inducing wires in their brain? Yeah… that’d be me in Hoshi’s body.
Trip: You being from Arkansas, I’m sure you know what I mean when I say I’m not so sure his family tree forks.
Travis: Mute. I don’t know sign language.
Phlox: Okay, he’s kinda cool and practices polygamy. Huh… should’ve picked him. But I’m not all that talkative in person and I’m definitly not a people person.
And finally, Reed: Arrogant? Check. Stoic? Check. Aloof? Check. Likes blowing stuff up? Check. Can’t swim and is afraid of drowning? Check.
I’ll teach you some sign language…
The character is Floridian, but Trineer (sp) says he’s using an accent from relatives who live in Northern AR, Southern MO. Sounds Texican to me.
