Flemm, if you want to nitpick, I'll suggest that the idea of the Founders abandoning their home planet just to destroy 25 or so spaceships seems a bit far-fetched to me. 
That said, I'm sure that, subjected to close scrutiny, a lot of DS9, and indeed many other shows, doesn't entirely make sense!

I don't know, a change of scenery on occasion can do a body good. Even a huge composite puddle of bodies
Interestingly, I believe this corresponded with the producers' desire to revamp the appearance of the Founders' homeworld, which they found to be too pedestrian in The Search, not alien enough.
Thus the planet-wide link of later seasons was born.
Yeah. Nitpickability has little to do with quality, in fact that is how I would distinguish a nitpick from a substantial criticism

I believe that was their original idea, they just did not have the time or budget to do it that way in The Search.
I've never heard it sung, but I am 24 and therefore not in the demographic that goes to those sorts of parties. Whenever a family gathering has broken out in song it tends to be songs like Whiskey in the Jar, Gershwin's Summertime, or Living Next Door to Alice, they never go for the choral stuff.
*tries to erase the memory of the drunk priest singing "Alice? Who the f@#% is Alice?!" very loudly into his beer bottle"
That being said, Jerusalem was chosen by Colm Meaney himself after they couldn't get the rights to Space Oddity or Rocket Man, and since Colm Meaney has been Irish longer than me I'm going to defer to his judgement in this area.
I think O'Brien mentioned Dublin being his home once, and since Meaney is from Dublin that makes sense, so it's very unlikely that he would have spoken Irish as a first language. Not that such things matter in the age of the universal translator (which also magically translates text into your native language).
Indeed not, because we have two constitutions and the Irish language version takes precedence, so if nobody spoke Irish we'd be screwed. But at least we'd get rid of that stupid blasphemy law.
Anyway, it's Star Trek, there is no Republic of Ireland because by then we'll all be living in a happy United Earth that's ruled over by the French.
Although I love the scene as it is, how awesome would it have been to see them drunkenly singing Rocket Man together?
It would be even better if they did the Shatner version with O'Brien rigging up some holograms of himself. Screw Bashir's story, I want to see three O'Briens!
Wouldn't they need doob for that?
By the way, folks, I introduced a baseball fan to "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" today. He loved it! "What were you doing? Regenerating?!" That episode is one of my comedic favorites!
And Chase, did everyone actually play the game?

AFAIK, Jimmy Bob got banned, but his resurrected self Billy Stein is alive and well and in an Internet rural zone where he has to hike to a local wifi, and has posted just one review since his rebirth...
A ban I'd be quite keen to see lifted seeing as his reviews are the primary reason I visit as regularly as I do.
I agree.
Hey apenpaap, I checked out your Avatar gallery - I just about died laughing when I saw the Time's-Orphan-Molly "I can haz cheezburger?"
Dukat's purple headwear is also quite charming.

Wasn't Billy Stein banned too (by virtue of him and Jimmy Bob being the same perrson)?
Thanks. I haven't made avatars in a long time, but I made quite a lot about a year ago.

Guys, 'freeing' JimmyBob is not a topic for this forum.
The warning I gave him last week bumped him into a temporary ban only - it was Bonz's decision to make that a permanent state and it is her decision to unban him, should that be something she elects to do.
Therefore, if you have any issues with this, please talk to Bonz about it. Because there is nothing that can be done about it by anyone else - and most certainly not me.
Thanks.
I have absolutely no idea why Jimmy Bob should be permanently banned. If T'Bonz or anyone would be so kind to explain...- Status
