Worth a flight to Sydney.

High praise from the Andorian!

I don't think I'm going to bother preordering from Amazon any more....

That's happened to me with them before, definitely not worth it.

hmm... 4 copies on ebay, 3 in the UK and 1 in the US.

Okay I've ordered ET and CoT from dvd.co.uk. Only 5.92 for ET, no postage. If you've never ordered from this company they are awesome.

I wasn't praising the book - it's still on my "to read" pile - but I was attempting to gauge your enthusiasm for the storyline.

My ENTHUSIASM for the storyline...?

Let me just tell you about my enthusiasm Mr. Therin..

I'm with you, Teacake, on the "don't breed with Chakotay" thing. The J/Cers out there are already going flaky over the book; that would be the death knell for rational Trek board postings for weeks.

I don't think it would be a "death knell" per se, but it would definitely result in a lot of super-happy posters from the J/C side.

Me?

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about the whole "J/C breeding" thing. I'm happy for them to be together and happy in their relationship, but I would hope that it's a few books before we get a little "angry warrior" running around on Voyager. But judging by the trend with current Trek couples (Riker/Troi, Picard/Crusher), if J&C tie the knot it won't be long before a little bundle of joy follows.

But as for breed Janeway with whom? My question -- why breed with anyone? Some women are allowed to just have a career, you know. That said, if I see Janeway with anyone it'd have to be Picard. Equals, and all that. Plus there'd be the dinner conversations -- "remember our days in the Collective?" or "Which Quadrant of the universe do you prefer, or are you more into timeline divergences?" or "What was YOUR favourite alien possession, hun?" ... the possibilities are endless.

Janeway does seem to be the independent type, though I wouldn't take her out of contention for pairing up with someone. In the series she mentions on more than one occasion that she would like to have children.

Janeway/Picard? How very intriguing. I expect many tea/coffee debates to ensue

Because Janeway's and 7's baby would be soooo beautiful and probably grow up and take over the Collective as an auburn haired Borg Empress. After hunting down and eviscerating the Threshold babies to avenge her mother.

Though I'm not a J/7 shipper, that idea is rather intriguing. And the idea of an auburn haired Borg Empress is just badass.

J/7 is about as "intriguing" as KJ "breeding" with her command chair and makes about as much sense.

As for her "breeding" with Chuckles, it's worth noting that neither Crusher or Troi are leading a fleet.

That's not to say she wouldn't be able to do both, she is KJ after all, but I would guess she needs time to recover from....I dunno....being made queen of a race of cyborg vampire zombies. In any case, she already popped-out on of Chak's kids in an alternate universe.

teacake · September 2 2012, 01:03 AM

Recovery would not be a problem as Harry Kim would be carrying Janeway and 7's baby. That way they do not have to miss a day of work or fleet leading.

Guy Gardener · September 2 2012, 10:40 AM

How does the kid get out?

Bumhole or Xenomorph style ripping out through the stomach?

Kim doesn't deserve transporter extraction.

It totally robs the child of the joy of natural childbirth.

Naomi wouldn't have been so wet behind the ears if she hadn't taken the easy way out.

teacake · September 2 2012, 11:01 AM

A holo vagina will be involved. Birth will take place on holo earth, to comfort Kim in the trials of labor. His mother will hold his hand. 7 will tell him stories of "when I was ripped from my maturation chamber" to help him cope with the pain.

When Phoebe's first cry is heard there won't be a dry eye in the birthing suite.

Guy Gardener · September 2 2012, 11:49 AM

when you say hole vagina instead of whole vagina, i immediately flip the words to vagina hole and then think of Bugs Bunny/Road Runner and their portable holes.

Does the doctor have portable holes he can just slap on men for any old reason?

Sorry.

Should clean my screen.

'holo" vagina.

Well, if it was good enough for Tuvok's ponn far.

EXACTLY.

People die of gunshot wounds in holo programs you know. It's the same principle.

Deranged Nasat · September 2 2012, 11:56 AM

So, teacake, what happens to the sehlats? If the true devotees can leave the compound and rejoin Trek Lit civilization, what happens to them? I hope they'll be going to good homes. Or will they be retained as an honour guard for the triumphant return?

Yes, I stopped using Amazon not too long ago. KingDaniel, I'd recommend the Book Depository; they've been excellent so far.

So riddle me this, in First Contact did Picard riddle that Borg with bullet holes or did Picard riddle that Drone with holovaginas?
