He may remove his head from his nether regions for the third season; we’ll know in two months. Yeah, about the bridge…If “Cogenitor” comes on again or you taped it, watch the teaser when he’s talking to Captain G’Kar. Every time G’kar says something to Archer, the cap’n turns and looks at Hoshi, T’Pol, or Reed n’ Trip as if he needs their approval (which he probably does). It is very distracting. It’s HIS bridge, for garsh sakes. In other news: The casino been bery bery good to me and mom today; [Ferengi]we profited[/Ferengi] on the slots\*; she more than I, of course. We consumed her two free buffets as well, further decimating the Native American reservation funds. But I’m sure they’ll make it up from someone else who doesn’t know how to quit when ahead. \*Mr. Lucky fortune cookie, Little Green Men, Texas tea, wheel of fortune, the Price is right, Hollywood Squares, Off the Charts, and Rock n’ rollin’ pinball.

Will concede point for a change. Secondhand casino smoke affecting vital systems. Other convenient excuses abound. 😃 Okay, “Dawn” is done…Wonder what’s up for next week? ---

I considered waiting a while to see how long it would take before someone commented on my absence, but two things kept me from doing so: 1. It seemed a bit too much of a pathetic attention-seeking kinda thing. 2. I was a little afraid no one would notice. 😉 OK, game on… **(45)** 7:00-8:00 Enterprise _Don: During a visit to a 22nd Century brothel, Crewman Daniels reveals to the call girl that he is actually the head of the “Time Mafia” and that he’s gotten involved in the Temporal Cold War because “it’s bad for business.”_ ---

Oh, **Linus** … #1 is pretty much academic for many (all?) of us; and re #2, I notice just about ever’thang. You and Aes had been gone for some time. I just figured you went to the Las Vegas Hilton Star Trek Experience together and chowed down at Quark’s Bar and Restaurant. What’d’ja bring me?? Dang that Daniels…he’s gonna ruin it all! I saw **Pirates of the Caribbean**. Why isn’t **Quantum Leap** on DVD? Is anyone gonna watch next week’s rerun of “Future Tense” ? ---

Well, **Viva** , there’s good attention seeking and bad attention seeking. Good would be something along the lines of writing a paritcularly witty bit of parody so that people say nice things about it. Bad (or pathetic) would be not posting for a long time _just_ to see how long it would take for someone to notice that you aren’t there. ---

Only took three days for my absence to be noted and I wasn’t intentionally abstaining from posting like some people. 😛 ---

I wasn’t either. I only said I was considering it (with all the “hey, where’s [whoever]” going around). See, I _consider_ being pathetic much more often than I actually do so. Which is, I suppose, in itself just a little pathetic. :smack: Actually, my wife and I were off at her family reunion.
