I'm just checking the reruns of Stargate, SG1.

That's where I get my Science training. Surely you didn't think I watched just to ogle Carter?

I like it when Joelene Blalock makes a guest appearence! She might be a sexy Vulcan - she is even sexier as a Jaffa rebel!!

Too bad "Enterprise" couldn't keep going. I thought it was a pretty good premise. They certainly had plenty of room to explore the Galaxy and the future.

I think part of Jolene's appeal was her allegedly "cold" nature. If she had played the part of a less aloof character, that would have dimished her attractiveness.

I wonder how much longer we'll have to go before Star Trek returns from the grave yet again, with, of course, a very sexy yeomanwoman in a skin-tight uniform?

Yes, and it tied up some the continuity errors (why Klingons looked like humans), though it created more in the process!!

Seriously, I can't figure why hard-core Trekkies were so against Enterprise, as you say, it was a good premise.

On this side of the Atlantic, we are just past the 'Mirror Universe' episodes, and are now in the 'Terra Prime' episodes.

"TC, I would love to consult with you further about how you discipline your children."

1) flog them every night
2) When their favorite tv show is on, lock them in a dark closet.
3) Feed them Oliver Twist type gruel.
4) Remind them that you brought them into this world, and it is just as easy to take em out.

I guess if I were in charge of "casting," I might create a character like the evil "Mystique" of the X-men.

She was a kind of shape-changer, able to imitate the appearance of others through a natural mimicking capability.

I don't know how useful that would be from a script standpoint, but I found her character to be "sexy" in an odd way. All of her ability was "natural," which meant that whenever she was imitating someone else, or even in her own chosen appearance, there was nothing else there but girl.

I suppose she had some color-changing feathers, or something, but just like the invisible man, she had to be unclothed to do the imitation. I guess I just like thinking about that.

Maybe I shouldn't admit that!

Number 3 isn't far from the truth ... I don't think you were on the Undead Thread when I was fixing the Casserole With the Beans three times a week, but they were ready to lock ME in a dark closet! Conspiracy Guy even wrote a poem about it!

It's really amazing how often people think they disagree evident when their debate is really just a semantic issue. What's really interesting is when you get two different flavors of evolutionist or creationist going at it hammer-and-tongs on what amounts to a semantic issue. That's always fun to watch. The Romans had the colosseum; we've got crevo threads. Bring popcorn and a cold drink.

I can't play because I don't do the knee-jerk name-calling circuit. Most places you can't hold a position on either side of the issue without some zealot from the other side whacking you across the forehead with their rubber stamp, then snowing you in with a cut/pasted mega-post of material they hold in reserve for such occasions as they think require drowning their opposition in rhetoric. Thus branded, even if you plow the snow aside, nobody will ever "hear" what you say, because the shouting from the label on your forehead will drown you out. Then, of course, there are always these types around: "[hands over hears] LA, LA, LA, LA, I CAN'T (won't??) HEAR YOU!! LA, LA, LA...!! (ad nauseum)"

It's really weird to see posters decry the Cindy Sheehans of the world, then jump on a crevo thread and act just like her.

That's a damnable shame, because I've had some of the deepest and most satisfying philosophical discussions of my life with people who held a positions diametrically opposed to my own, but could hold their position at arms length and play devil's advocate with it. That one component, a prerequisite for rewarding discussion, is hard enough to come by between any two opposing parties, but in an open forum with scores of participants -- some with whole ping lists of zealots in waiting -- your only hope is to take it offline.

"... your only hope is to take it offline."

Yep, that's what we are, alright. Offline.

The Undead Thread is so far out of the mainstream of discussion that all we ever see of the maelstroms of furious contention are little eddies of amusement.

Crevo? We don't do that here.

We have a sort of "Gentlemen's Agreement" about such things. This is not the place for contentious debate, it's the place for decompression from such intensity.

Where else can you stop and smell the flowers on your way to Mars?
