Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh! I forgot to mention (and I didn't catch if someone else mentioned it) about Narnia....
Ginarrbrik, the dwarf manservant for the White Witch, is played by the wonderful and talented Kiran Shah, and those of you who remember Viggo's dead on impersonation of him ("No, I'm afraid to even take a bath...") will recognize his voice, instantly. His performance is one of the highlights of the film.
DS9 never jumped the shark, and was still going strong by the end of its run.
Eh, I thought the replacement of Dax was a little shark-jumpy, but I would agree that it was still pretty strong through to the end, and certainly ended the strongest of any of them.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Best. Trek. Evah! A note it's the one that had (1) major arcs, (2) the most angst/darkness, and (3) let major characters have conflicts with each other for the entire run of the series.
yes! Although, I wish they had let Kira stay more bitter. She evolved and grew and matured and always kept a hint of bitter, but I wish she would have had relapses into full-on bitter. She was fun like that.

Good point. I wish they hadn't replaced her at all. They should have let Dax get a new host and move on to another place.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
On the other hand, watching the other characters' reaction to New!Improved!Dax was fun for the writers and viewers.

In a perfect world Dax would have come back with a male host to really confuse things, but as much as I'm sure that some people (actors and writers) on DS9 would have loved to do it, the powers that be on Trek as a whole would have never let it happen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has the Trek 'verse ever done the gay thing?
OK, Riker fell for an androgyne but I think that was as close as they got....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Yeah, if you recall in the story that introduced Trills, the dealbreaker for Beverly Crusher was not that she was falling for a symbiotic eggplant-looking creature, or that it was essentially possessing one of her friends while wooing her, but that its new host body had boobs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

To bring the conversation full circle, Kira sort of made out with her (mirrorverse) self, I don't know if that counts.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Oh, Indendent Kira made the moves on anything female, IIRC.
