I started #trekbbs on DALnet. That's where we should chat. Danoz hosted a server where I met my girlfriend. I owe him. You guys should be there...

It's been a long time since I've started a thread in a Trek forum. I'd sort of become disillusioned with things around these parts. But I've been catching a lot of episodes from all series in syndication lately, and I just happened upon TNG's "Family" tonight. What a magnificent piece of...

Well fuck me, it finally happened! :eek: I honestly never thought I'd live to see the day. Are we absolutely sure the world didn't end on Saturday? If the reviews are even half decent I might actually pick this up out of morbid curiosity. I mean, what does a game that took almost 15 years to...

Okay, what are you guys ripping through that maybe you haven't played in a decade or two? For me, it's Secret of Mana, I haven't played this in ages and I remember it being one of my favourite games of all time. It holds up. Big time. I don't wanna besmirch the Zelda games because I love them...

We all hear music from almost the day we're born, but in my experience with myself and my friends, there's a defining moment where music is something that happens to your parents or maybe your friends and the moment where it suddenly matters to you. So, what is it? This thread is likely to be...

I haven't listened to "Master" in ages but I used to positively worship it as the pinnacle of metal. And now I'm listening to it again and it holds up. It's one of the few things I can think of that holds up to my memory. Especially "Orion". That used to blow my mind. And it still does today...

I've always been a huge Kevin Smith fan, but when I heard that he was planning a hockey comedy I flipped my wig. As a huge fan of hockey this was perfect for me. And then I learned that it would not only be his final theatrical film but it would be based on Warren Zevon and Mitch Albom's amazing...

It's probably a long shot that anyone around here knows them; they're one of my favourite bands. But any Canadian who was paying attention to music in the late 90's/early 00's should know who Big Sugar is. Probably the only blues/reggae/rock bands I've ever heard who... well they're the only...

Hey guys, I don't post here too often since my Trek reading often comes in fits and starts. Anyway, I was at the book store the other day and grabbed "Full Circle" and "Unworthy" on a whim. I finished them both in the last two days. And wow! Look, I've never been much of a Voyager fan. In fact...

This thread may not get many posts out of anyone who's not from Ontario or has never lived there, and that's okay. I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. Mark Dailey, longtime news anchor at CityTV in Toronto died yesterday from complications from cancer, which he had been battling since 2004...

Hey guys, A few months ago I put my knee into my Blackberry Curve during charging while it was sitting on my bed and basically screwed up its Micro-Usb jack. That was inconvenient, but not insurmountable. It still charged if you positioned things just right. Anyway, an hour ago I did...

Okay, I'll admit it: I still have my blankey from when I was a baby. What's more, although I can sleep well enough without it, I'd rather not. It's a knitted blanket that was given to me when I was six months old. That was almost 27 years ago. It more closely resembles a ball of wool today...

I was just listening to some Gordon Lightfoot and I wondered if my unbridled love of (some of) his music had something to do with the fact that he was from my hometown. Do we naturally love famous people we have something in common with? Again, Lightfoot comes into play. My dad went to the...

It's a somewhat controversial issue, but I've read some stuff about the highest paid players in Baseball this week and it's pretty atrocious. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those guys who's complaining about professional sports salaries because they're arbitrarily too high; I don't...

I've been listening to music from my high school days recently. I was very into nuMetal back then. It's not very good music, sadly. However, I was able to understand it a little bit. There are some killer guitar riffs in there, even if they're surrounded by some pretty shitty songs. The...

This almost certainly isn't an issue with YouTube but I'm trying to fix my roommate's computer and all he cares about is YouTube so there ya go. He's getting "An error has occurred, please try again later" (displayed within the flash player) on videos after playing about five of them in...

Yeah, I'm a Trek fan and a lover of all things genre and manly, but this show is pretty good. It's a remake of a 1998 series (cancelled about as fast as Firefly) that was about a guy who thinks he is (or may actually be?) Cupid, god of love. It deals with the relationship between him and the...

This thread is brought to you by this Onion AV Club article. What was so awesome and defining for you that you wish you never heard of it? If only so you could do it again. I've got four: 1) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This is the greatest series of words ever committed to paper. I...

So, Damon and Carlton put out a call in this week's podcast for the fans to name this year's secret scene! I figure the Lost fans at TrekBBS oughta have a few good ideas. I was gonna go with The AngstyBearded Hurley Bird but those bastards actually made a point of saying that there would be no...

So tonight, March 2, we get to see if Fallon can follow Conan's act convincingly. Personally, I'm willing to give him a fair shot. Nobody had high hopes for Conan when he premiered either and he ended up creating (IMO) the finest late night show yet produced. I did like Fallon well enough...
