**Aesiron** , you have been promoted to Admiral Geek! NCB, fire away, but please don’t start singing any damn campfire songs while eating beans and bourbon. :rolleyes: One more Geeky note: I actually mailed away for a ST5 Kraft Marshmallow dispenser. I wish I could find the darn thing now and see how much it’s worth. I might have missed this in the thread somewhere…but when did the Romulans develop a funky brow? They used to have smoother heads, like the TOS Klingons. ---

Ooh… Admiral? I was thinking maybe Lieutenat Commander or maybe even Commander but I can live with being an Admiral. Also… the Romulans got their pronounced brow sometime between the end of TOS and the first TNG episode featuring them, which’d be the first season finale, _The Neutral Zone_. I think it looks cool on them. ---

Thanks, **Tuckerfan** and **Eonwe**. I think I do remember that now. ---

Don’t get cocky, **Aesiron** , remember Janeway is an Admiral now. Star Fleet gives them ranks away in boxes of QuadraWheaties. BTW, welcome to the insane and very picky world of SDMB Star Trek geeks. May you live long and whatever, ya know? Skal! ---

Do not doubt my Trek geekiness! Unlike Janeway, I earned my bars! Just to prove my point - _Live long and prosper_ is actually a response, not a greeting. _Peace and long life_ is the greeting. By the way, thanks for the welcome. 🙂 Quapla! ---

It appears that eBay has just “jumped the shark.” Does anyone remember what this thread was about when it started? 'Cause I sure don’t. BTW, Viva & Monty, in re: the other forum thingy, I have a split personality. 😃 But I didn’t want to post a reply there because of the heavy tone that has now taken over that thread. ☹ Has anyone seen the new Star Trek movie? ---

I’m glad to know that Remus was actually spelled Romii. I was wondering why two planets light years away would be named after two mythological Earth twins. ---

I’d be too late. Haven’t there already been a few dozen threads about it running nonstop ever since the first one came out? 😉 Besides, I’m currently distracted by that heated GD thread–you know the one. Well, the box office on **Nemesis** dropped a whopping 76% (LA Times cite; don’t feel like fetching it right now) since its opening weekend, so this doesn’t bode well for another movie. Does it? ---

Yikes. So… how long’s it goin’ to be before they make another? You know there’ll be at least one more no matter how bad Nemesis does even if it’s a decade off. TNG? DS9? Voyager? Enterprise? Other? ---

🙂 Personally, I’m hoping for a DS9 movie at some point but don’t really expect one. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/saw-star-trek-nemesis-last-night-any-questions-spoilers-probably/142065.md?page=10)
