Welcome to the new contest!! The winner of the episode theme has been abducted by aliens so l've sub'ed myself so we can move ahead. New contest themes are: DS9 Episode: For the Cause DS9 Theme: Prayer Random Theme: Nap Time You have 10 days to enter, until Jan. 27th. Regular rules apply: 140 kb, *150x150 pix max size. Have fun!
Episode: Kira does her best sour-lipped Vulcan matriarch impression, but she's no T'Pau. DS9 Theme: I loved the Ferengi prayer scenes. Getting the Ferengi right is tricky - they're at their best when the comedy stems from their serious side, that is, the manner in which they act seriously, rather than through actual goofing (a few exceptions like The Magnificent Ferengi aside). The prayer scenes work to make the Ferengi seem like a genuine culture and actual people, while also being funny due to the particular slant they've put on their spirituality. Random Theme: Okay, this came out poorly but I like the scene so I'm keeping it. Another Babylon Five entry - the pak'ma'ra cadet at the back has fallen asleep in meditation class. Then again, the human looks slightly resentful and the Minbari is distracted, so maybe its actually closest to the right idea?
Episode theme: Smiling Sisko... DS9 Theme: I actually think that Dukat was being sincere here. Which is several kinds of scary right there... Random theme: The newest member of the family takes a nap...
Okay, that's a vote (unless someone else offers something really spectacular). Cats really are without shame, aren't they?
