I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So, wait, Dirk Benedict and Rick Springfield played brothers?

I think it was Richard Hatch (the Apollo verson, not the reality show version) and Rick Springfield who played brothers.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Way to dash my A-Team Reunion Show hopes, you two. Okay, it would have been the bizarro crossover to end all crossovers, but you know they are remaking all the old TV shows these days. It could happen.

I didn't know there was a Zach in the original series, but yeah. Kind of doomed there, buddy.

Hee! Yep, and he dies in the first episode (if I rememember correctly).

Some of the Trek novels have fanwanked the appearance differences in the Klingons to sort of racial or class differences. Like the imperial race looks one way, the soldiers look another.

That could have worked if they hadn't brought back Colicos' character and several pre-existing others as the bumpy-headed variety, I suppose.

I stand by my "short lived, bizarre plastic surgery fetish" wank.

Riiiight. And that really was Ethan Rayne disguised as Giles season 7.

Shhhhhhhhh!

Besides, the Klingon wank has yet to be contradicted by canon.

Unlike the whole Ethan-as-Giles wank.

Art Crawl!!!

From tvguide.com:

FINAL FRONTIER: UPN has pulled the plug on Star Trek: Enterprise. The network confirmed today that the struggling prequel series has run out of dilithium crystals and will end its four-year run on May 13 — to boldly go into syndication.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Figures. Oh, well. I'll sort of miss it, but not really.

"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

Was it the deciding to add some continuity and explain things so they made sense that did the show in?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I think it was the attempts at continuity and sense-making were too little, too late. I've lost count of the people I've told "It really is better this season" that have replied they were too put off by the previous seasons to try again. Of course, now there's the worry that Bremaga will go "See, we tried bringing in someone new and it tanked. At least when we had full control we lasted 3 seasons."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I've lost count of the people I've told "It really is better this season" that have replied they were too put off by the previous seasons to try again.

That would be me. I liked S1 a lot, but S2 was nothing but a long slow descent into suckitude, and by now I've just lost interest.
