I’m so looking forward to next week’s apparent mutiny.

This is almost like old times. Just you and me and maybe one or two others spamming the hell out of the thread.

::sniff:: The memories.

I’m working on the screenplay right now. Here’s a sample:

\*Trip: I feel like I’m Han Solo, and you’re Chewie, and she’s Ben Kenobi, and we’re in that fucked-up bar.

Actually, there is an old sci-fi short story 'bout an astronaut guy searching for Jesus on all sorts of different planets, just missing him each time. Fun.

You mean Mel Gibson’s gonna make a sequel that I could actually sit through?

I gotta take off in a minute. Gotta watch ER and tape it for a certain Doper who is fortunate to have such a generous contact. (I have to keep reminding him of this fact all the time.)

Oh good lawdy…I’m afraid that after Feb. sweeps we’ll have six weeks of ENT reruns. That’s what Groundhog Day was really all about, you know.

Heaven knows, they passed up the opportunity to do this big-time in “Bread and Circuses” [TOS].

Yeah, they went for that whole Sun/Son thing instead and even then, when I still believed, I was floored by the sanctimoniousness of it.

Gag.

You think we are not Jesus.

We are Jesus.

We look for things.

Things to make us transubstantiate.

Y’all are forgetting Captain Pike was also Jesus before he became Captain Pike. Then he quit the show and died in 1969, but didn’t return.

I’ve never forgotten that!

Look back at one of my earliest Trek thread contributions.\*

FTR, _King of Kings_ is the best Jesus movie yet.

\*it’s somewhere. I don’t feel like searching right now.

The more i think about it, the more the addition of Jesus to the cast would make this show better.  
Is that sad or funny?

Jesus could turn water into Bloodwine, raise Kirk from the dead, feed the entire crew with only one replicator, get nailed to the warp core, smash up the Ferengi tax collectors, and return from the dead via transporter malfunction.

Yeah, but so could Trip by reversing the polarity of the warp core and shunting it to the main deflector dish while simulatneously venting the warp plasma manifolds so that that gas will commingle with the charged array and cause subspace to rupture which will then act as a beacon for the Nexus, where anything can happen.

Duh.
