I was thinking face to face contact. Remember what a big deal it was when Kirk et al first saw a Romulan?
Ah, that I understand. As a matter of fact, I even referenced it in my first post in my thread.
That’s what bugs me.
In First Contact, the NextGen crew stopped the Borg. But, why didn’t the Borg who woke in the Arctic just keep shootin folks full of nanoprobes and assimilate the planet? Why didn’t they just set down in a densely populated area and go nuts with the probe injecting?
KasuoFrank was here. He went to get some synthahol.
Disoriented by their crash landing and the subzero temperatures, they set upon the nearest area with a sizeable population but somehow, in the crash, they forgot what humans looked like and wound up trying to assimilate a pack of polar bears.
The polar bears weren’t amused.
Real spoiler below in case you haven’t seen the ep. yet:
The Borg aren’t even in the show all that much, so if it’s the quantity of screen time that bothers you, it shouldn’t be so bad. And I don’t believe their name is ever even mentioned.
I do, however, want to know what the deal really is with those smooth-headed TOS Klingons.
Hm. That’s not so bad but it’s still annoying. I never liked the idea of a prequel and things like this are the reason why.
There are far worse things than Borg in the universe…like Shatner “Singing” with Ben Folds. Beware; the following link brings up a .wav file.
I did indeed. It’s part of Trip§'s crow-eating, sackcloth-and- ashes, wear-a-hairshirt penance. He also has to write “I will not futz up another first contact” 900 times on the ship’s blackboard.
‘Quantum’? Have you been reading Keckler’s reviews too?
Start scrubbing, Aes!
I was posting! It froze on me!
Ah, now you know why I sometimes disappear suddenly in the middle of tag team.
I hate the Website Not Responding thing even more than the Blue Screen of Death and AOL Has Been Disconnected.
What’s even more funner is when it takes forever to disconnect. You just sit there yelling at the monitor to hurry up and get it over with but it just taunts you by taking its sweet time.
Hmmmm…I haven’t had that particular pleasure yet, but tonight I couldn’t seem to get rid of the hourglass on AOL email…yet the message appeared to have been sent.
So, do you have to wait till Saturday again?
I had trouble opening my mailbox earlier today. I had to reboot to be able to get to it.
And I always have to wait 'til Saturday. I don’t get UPN here and am just lucky that CBS carries it. Might have to tape it though… I’m going over to my dad’s to mow the lawn and make an easy ten bucks.
Er, and have to drive thirty miles to Chattanooga to get my mom some Lady Godiva chocolates for Mother’s Day. I don’t know what else to get her and like most women, she’s obsessed with chocolate. Bleh.
No rerun, then? The only thing that saves me now and then is the Sunday rerun.
There’s no one else in the sandbox this morning, eh? Well, they can sift through the debris tomorrow. I mean, today.
I’d like some alien-flavored purple scented chocolate.
No choc for Viva’s mom; she’s getting a blown glass ornament that looks like a slot machine, gold coins, and playing cards. I’m hoping the Casino Queen’s luck will show up someday in me…it seems to be lying dormant in my DNA.
Nope. No rerun. I don’t watch very much TV anyway. Other than having it on as background noise when I’m online, I watch maybe five or six hours a week.
I used to watch that in a day.
She gets it because
she has a virus that accelerates it or something.
Well, the only reason I’m getting my mom the chocolates is because I only have a part time job and can’t afford anything better. So instead of buying her some cheap bauble, I’m getting her the best chocolate I know of… it’s expensive as crap too.
