    "I'm telling ya, I get no respect!" ~ Rodney Dangerfield.

    First off, thanks for the votes! It was a very narrow victory indeed. For this week, since we just did "Great idea, bad execution," I thought we'd go with the under-appreciated, the ignored, the dishonored of the Sci-Fi/fantasy world. What show, movie, book, comic, etc. do you think has not gotten the respect it deserved? You may even use specific characters or episodes, if you like.

    I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    I'll put the poll up Friday evening.

    *eta: here's my entry--The Iron Giant, which, in my opinion, is woefully unappreciated.

    With just six epsiodes, kicked around by a strike and a franchise loss, I think mine got 'no respect' despite more than deserving it!

    And if anyone recognises this, I did a very similar avatar months ago. This one has been resized because the earlier version was made for the old BBS.

    So it's technically new.

    - QUARK!

    Dude helped save the Alpha Quadrant durin' the Dominion War, and what happens? He doesn't get to be Grand Nagus, he doesn't get the girl, and Kira busts his lobes for startin' a bettin' pool.

    Od0! I was just thinking about you because I hadn't seen a post from you in a while.

    Though, if you like the relaunch, I think Quark did pretty well for himself even though they aren't canon.

    He's an ambassador and has diplomatic immunity. He's in a relationship with Ro Laren.

    I was runnin' the "Are You My Mummy?" avatar contest a couple of weeks ago, ya know.

    But I really don't post as much as I used to since I stopped bein' a mod.

    Yeah, I've been readin' those. Haven't picked up Fearful Symmetry yet, though, 'cause I heard some stuff in it ties in with the Terok Nor trilogy, and I just started the second book of that series this past weekend.

    Same here, and I think it also ties in with the mirror universe books which I haven't gotten to yet either lol. :scream:

    I like the first one, but you might brighten it up a little.

    Klaus: Very nice! :techman:
