I'm cross-posting this w/WX: Zap2it has an article about Mutant X that suggests that perhaps next year Shalimar may not be back. Unless, I read this more hopefully than others.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Vonnie - you are in for such a treat. Garak and Gul Dukat both had pretty amazing story arcs over the course of 7 seasons. Most of the characters went through some significant changes; most of them were interesting.
Though the arcy-ness doesn't really kick in until season 2 or 3. I was so glad at least one Trek show got to throw away the Roddenberry show bible.

I'm getting behind on Stargate: I still have 2 unwatched episodes on the Tivo, and it'll be recording more tonight. This is difficult.
But I did finally see the episode where Daniel ascended. Could the ending have been any more subtexty?
My viewing may have been colored by the fact that I read a story called Reveille yesterday, which Vonnie recced, which was both hot and believable Daniel/Jack. Mmmm, the fabulous "aliens made us have sex!" trope. Much superior to the XF version (considered a classic by many), which is icky and includes rape scenes. Bleah.

Heh. I love that story. Of course, I pretty much follow shalott wherever she goes, but still.

DS9, while not one that I watched regularly, did have the BEST. Trek. Episode. EVAH!!!!!!1!

Laughed? 'til I peed myself!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Trials and Tribbleations.
It also had one of the best Trek episodes on the other end of the spectrum: "The Visitor." Talk about a gut-punch.

Is that the Jake ep?
And don't forget "Far Beyond the Stars."

Yup.

Absolutely brilliant. One of the things I liked about the last season was (whitefonted for those who haven't seen it) was the way they returned to the idea that the Trekverse was a figment of Benny Russell's imagination. That was a nice use of continuity.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
There were so many good eps.
The one with Sisko where he agrees to Garek sabotaging a Romulan ship to get them involved in the war
As has already been mentioned, the Harris Yulin ep and the Dax ep with the old-time Klingons going into battle together were both stellar.
I'm glad I have close friends who ponied up for the discs so that I can watch. I've missed it more than I thought I would.

Nothing quite offset the loss of Jadzia though. While I came to like the actress well enough, and some of her charcter arc, if they had to replace Terry Ferrell, they should have brought Dax back as a man, and not as Ally McTrill.
