My goodness! I'm honored and encouraged by all your helpful replies. I wish I could start all of them. I went with the most cost effective, Twist of Faith (five books for $13.99). It'll be tricky knowing what to do next, and b/c of my awful nights I listen through these really quickly, so it...

...help: can anyone recommend a trilogy-type set of novels that are gripping and serialized? I don't "get", e.g., which novels in the TNG-R are good * and* serial. Is it the "Time to..." books? " Greater than the Sum," *"Unworthy," "Q & A"? What about "Articles of the Federation" (I enjoyed "A...

Loved it, too. One of the best of season six (though I like that season more overall than some.) The faux-Tuvok was great: he *really* got into his part. I kind of feel bad for him. He was far less nasty than the other two. He would have made a fun recurring character if, for some reason, he...

Oh, I should add: in my previous post in which I listed evidenced for both sides, it *appears* I weighted heavily in favor of commander. I admit that's how I *prefer* to consider him, but I don't think the evidence points strongly either way. While my list of evidences for lt. commander was...

^^^ You're right, I'm afraid. I don't quite understand what you mean. :( Could you please elaborate? Thanks! :)

There is a screenshot of the crew manifest on a Voyager screen that clearly lists him as commander (and Tuvok as lt. commander). This caused a *huge* debate on the MA talk page for Chakotay. I suggest if anyone seeks more info, they check there: it's been thoroughly discussed with no definite...

...had my pick of research work (I've even help tutor professors and their students in my specialty.) My proudest accomplishment was inventing a *vastly* improved clinical bedside blood pressure monitor for use in the ICU that people have approached me saying it could save lives. Here's the...

...expressing his initial excitement about exploring Mexican Indian cultures, such as the Aztecs. He correctly noted that most people, including himself, equated American Indian with just those living in the present day USA. There was a *lot* of real stuff they could have used, and used...

...I feel for you. I'm so socially shy that the slightest negative comment directed at me here sends me into a big funk. I used to think "if only *some* girl showed interest in me, I'd be ok." Now I don't even care. I think it's important to not let others define how you see your self (but who...

...1990s. Beltran, however, has stated he doesn't like sci-fi/Trek because it's devoid of spirituality. I get the notion from his interviews that *he* might have liked it a little. It seems playing a Native American Indian helped him reconnect to his own cultural heritage, which he'd pretty...

...I can see myself arguing for either interpretation. There are plenty of background notes, scripts, etc referring to him as simply "commander". *But* as was noted, on-screen evidence is of higher importance. So.... If you look at the entire crew manifest and given, on-screen ranks, there was...

I'm not a good judge of such matters. You're correct. :)

Uh oh. What have I started?! :( Yet another ill-advised post of mine gone awry....

Right. I am not a Native American Indian, so I can't speak for them. But if sports mascots cause offense (and many use stereotypes of European cultures, such as Vikings, the Scottish, and the Irish), I'd think his faux spirituality would as well. I don't know, really. Maybe I'm completely wrong...

And *I* wish my body weren't literally falling apart after a botched surgery. I'm forced to be on medical leave from my beloved biomedical and naval research work AND the PhD program. (Plus the constant pain isn't fun. Guess what: I get to have a cytoscopy next week. Whee. Look it up.) :(...

Hehehe. The iPod changed "infiltrators" to "incinerators." :rolleyes: My mistake. Another bonehead move by me. I appreciate your humor, DonIago. :lol:

You're right. I don't want to get into debating Sisko's actions. I was trying, in haste, to think of a comparable situation. To me the similarities are that they both became preoccupied with a personal grudge. I don't know myself whether Sisko was right or wrong. Sorry. I didn't mean to inflame...

Ooops. It's the iPod's spell correcting. I meant "infiltrators". And I agree Sisko's actions were ambiguous. I didn't mean to start an argument about him. I was just trying to say sometimes SF captains can be provoked into personal vendettas. I wouldn't necessarily call Sisko a murderer, just...

...temporarily relieved Janeway. • Janeway was highly protective of her crew and very much valued trust (see Prime Factors). Ransom kidnapped Seven *and* left Voyager to almost assured destruction. He also kidnapped the EMH and had his own provide him with Voyager's shield info, though I don't...

...as " President of Earth" as "unimpeachable.". A witty double-entendre, for it was around the time of the Bill Clinton impeachment hearings. (I'm *not* trying to be political here — I just find it very funny.) :guffaw: Even my non-Trekkie brother and mother can appreciate those lines (they...
