do harry and paris ever announce their love

Corn syrup is basically glucose and water.

That seems like a staple that might be provided by their keepers. There is probably an economy where food trickles down. If they were not given food and staples, then the prisoners would all die quickly.

I voted no because it hadn't but my head wants to shake yes. It was by that crazy clamp from prison. Now they're normal as if it never happened. A common theme on Voyager.

It looks like the only thing they got from their "providers" were these yellow bricks. I don't know what was in them.

Superfood?

There's totally sugar in super food.

Just gotta boil it down.

What would they have to do with then?

'Marriages of Convenience' he might be referring to, sir.

I wasn't actually thinking of marriages of convenience but now that you're mentioning them, they are a logical outcome of what I had in mind.
I was merely referring to the fact that in real life, a lot of people end up being in a relationship and when you get to know them and realize how different their personalities are, you start wondering why they ended up being together in the first place. Even more intriguing is the fact why they keep being together. And the worst of it is, I guess, that if you asked them why they were a couple, they wouldn't be able to give you a satisfactory explanation. Naturally, love has little to do with it - it most probably had little to do with it in the first place.

A guy I know married a girl five years ago - they are about to file for a divorce. Does that surprise me? Absolutely not knowing the circumstances under which they met. They had been standing in a line at the post office, the girl standing right in front of the boy. The boy didn't say a word but secretly stole a look at the sender on the envelope, made a mental note of the name, went home, signalled to the girl on Facebook that he wanted to have her as a "friend" (I guess its called a "friend" on FB, isn't it?) and so their relationship started.
Now they have two children and are about to divorce.

I know most of you will probably think that this is a pretty unconventional way of meeting people but my point is that most couples in my experience hook up without even having an idea of who they are hooking up with no matter if it happens under more traditional circumstances. Then, for God knows what reason, they stay together but in my experience, it has nothing to do with love. Some are just afraid to let go of the other person, some stay together because they've already got used to each other and almost all the others stay together for some equally bizarre reason.

But then, since I'm gay, I could tell you a lot more about gay relationships and they are even worse than straight ones ... Or perhaps not. Heterosexual people often try to keep up the appearances at least ... gays don't even bother with that. So we are perhaps more sincere when comes to relationships.
Still, this won't stop me wondering why most gay couples are together.

WOW.
That is why I am so happy to be single. No matter how you live your life (success or failure; happiness or misfortune), you are the only one responsible there ... even if some compaise to blame the others or the society in which they live !

I know the feeling ... Nevertheless I'm a hopeless romantic still secretly hoping to find my real-life Tom Paris (there's actually a guy I know who is very much like Tommyboy but he is straight, of course ... ). And if I don't, then I always have Voyager ...

(BTW, sorry for the belated reply ... I'm in the middle of house-hunting now and of course the fact that third estate agent turned out to have lied yesterday doesn't help ... I'll try to pop in more frequently today ...)

I didn't see any container, or water for that matter. At least in ENT detained we actually see them get tap water. How do they get anything from clothes to the makeshift knives given that when they are sent to that hellhole they only have the clothes that they're wearing?

My friend Jeff and I went to a club once, some years ago. Very early on, he saw a couple hot blondes together, alone, standing by a support beam with their drinks. One could be thought of as Kes - which he wanted - and the other as Seven. I did walk up to them with him, to help make it less awkward, shouted some pleasantries over the music and excused myself in search for more suitable quarry. Turns out that "Kes" thought Jeff was nice enough to give her number to him, but wasn't attracted to him.

For like a week, he calls and she's giving him the runaround and shit like that. Turns out her mum, of all people - her MOTHER - talked her into giving Jeff a chance! HA!!! When a mother shows her approval of a guy, that's usually a good sign that the relationship's dead in the water. If the mother's all like, "get rid of him!" then you're in! Turns out, Jeff ended up marrying "Kes." I like to think my having gone clubbing with him that night (which was unusual) brought him the luck he required. What is my charisma? You know? I keep asking myself that ... I just have this way about me.

A person needs 2 litres a day to remain healthy.

500 people need a thousand litres a day.

Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m3 ≡ 1000 cm3, and 1 m3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L. From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density and standard pressure.

Replicating or synthesizing water, to keep a reservoir full, has to use less power than keeping the lights on in that place?

You are dead in less than seven days without water.

No one was healthy, but their population didn't halve every 8 days because of a lack of water or waterlike products.

Unless I caught them on a barely-remembered episode of Bonanza (yeah, I'm old enough to remember that show when it was in its first run), I'm reasonably sure TOS was the first time I ever saw any of the Star Trek actors.

But the other series? I saw Patrick Stewart in I, Claudius, Dune, and Lady Jane before seeing him in TNG. My first time seeing LeVar Burton was in Roots. There were other examples.

As for the question of Harry and Tom... nope, I never thought of them as anything other than best friends. They're the Miles and Julian of Voyager.

Of course there are slashfics in almost any combination you can think of, plus some that seem a bit weird. There are actual print zines with Paris/Chakotay stories. One of the series I got into a few weeks ago on fanfiction.net is a pairing between Seven of Nine and Samantha Wildman.

no william shatner had appearance on not only bonanza but was regular on twilight zone lemoy had already had had two series one really good where he played a psychic race csre driver george takei hada long film career before startrek he was like in every ww2 movie john wayne made : deforest kelly had a huge career too as dar as i know only chekov was a newbie to acting i know talei shatnwr and nimoy all had very successful careers before star trek

I always wondered what B'Elanna's mom ever saw in him. Mr. Torres seemed like kind of a milquetoast - not really somebody that a Klingon woman would be interested in.

As for Tom & Harry? Meh. Two guys can be friends and not have to have anything more than that.

tom and harry are a little more than having a brance in the first flur seasons lol

Once you've found my Thomas Eugene Paris for me, please yell ...

In Dark Matter, they beam the bio-data instantly to half a galaxy away, build a clone, and then the clone when it's finished it's task, kills it self to beam back all it's new memories back to the original waiting in a pod.

Slipstream travel in Andromeda sounds a lot like teleportation, only the people whizzing through subspace still perceive that they are on a ship and that haven't been squashed into flat photons.

dude adromeda was so nad ass --- no real statement jere i just misss that show

It must seem like retirement not to go nine rounds just to get a little.

Klingon foreplay is like regular people trying to murder each other.

It's good to be lonely, sometimes. It's better than nothing, at all.

I was about to say "I will" but then I realized I never found one either. I don't have the radar for this task- gay or straight Tom Paris look-a-likes.

 

[Guy Gardener]

"Nothing" has to better than seeing Harry's vinegar strokes.

My universal translator is broken . I'd rather not hazard a guess so explain

Indeed it does, sir. In the VERY deed!
