Didn't care for The Wrath of the Prophets

If I did it to Friedman, Peter David, or Greenberger, it would probably because they put out a book where Odo didn't do anything interesting and to amuse myself. I know a little drama is good, but in some ways I feel they overdid it. The Enterprise got a severe pummeling in Star Trek VI; and in every Star Trek series since, that's happened at least once. Yesterday's Enterprise, which debuted before that movie was one example of an exception to the rule; but since then the Enterprise took a lot in Star Trek: Generations. DS9 took a beating in the pilot episode. Voyager took one, and Enterprise with Archer was seen to take at least two.

The ships aren't always going to be able to come out of every conflict unscathed. It makes sense in the movies since they tend to be a lot bigger scale conflicts than what we got on the shows.

A little bit battered is one thing, but they overdid it quite a lot in adventures that weren't movies.

:shrug:I was never bothered that much by the ship being beat up. The only time that kind of thing really bothered me was when the ship seemed like they were on the verge of being destroyed, but was perfectly fine by the end of the episode or the next one. That was one thing I did like about the Xindi arc is season 3 of Ent, the damage to the ship actually continued and built up over several episodes.
The Trek shows were action/adventure shows, and to keep things exciting you occasionally need to put the heroes, or in this case the ship, in mortal peril.
 
Actually, in one episode in particular, they were still being attacked at the end of the episode; and I felt Jonathan was being a little stubborn when all they wanted to know was how many Starfleet ships there were. Sure the Xindi backed off in the next episode, but look at how hopelessly damaged the ship was.

Can someone please do a link to an audio recording of Gul Dukat's voice? He's obviously going to be a major character in one of the books I picked up at the last comic book that deals with Cardassians. I picked it up even though I get bored with Cardassians, but I'd still like to hear his voice. The only Cardassian whose voice I can remember pretty well is the tailor Garak, and I used to believe there was a t at the end of his name for several years after.

I'm sure if you asked one of the friendly Library staff, they'd show you how to use this new and upcoming site called YouTube. or Bing which I hear is just brilliant.

I was hoping someone would save me the trouble.

Guess what. I found the remote. I have heard of Ouija boards being used to find stuff, but I didn't need one.

You do realize that Ouija boards are just a jokey game, right? They're made by the friggin' people who make Monopoly, Clue, Sorry!, Risk and Bop-It.
 
Democrats can be thankful I'm not into the devil's toys or live in a household that doesn't have a problem with them because I'd make it difficult for Hillary to be successful in using her gender card to win in the debate against the candidate who's not the right gender by getting a voodoo doll and sending some sort of message about voodoo.

I think my universal translator must be on the fritz, because I have NO IDEA what you're saying.

Definitive proof that you are the Chosen One, obviously.

Well, to be fair, Bop-It is *also* a portal to the underworld.
 
Wow, I guess I'll have to be careful next time I go through the games aisle at work. If Bop-It is a portal to the underworld, I don't even want to image what the other games do, and having them all in one place can't be good for the world.

Or can it?

I don't see anything wrong with the other games because most of them involve dice. I play Risk a lot on my Nintendo DS. I've played Monopoly on a Game Boy. The game cartridge that has Risk has Clue as well as Battleship. Ouija for DS or 3DS? Not bloody likely; and even if they could, I wouldn't get it. I don't know much about Bop-It. If that's the one where you can twist it or something and make it play music, I may have got it for Christmas one year but never did anything with it because I didn't want to read the directions for it. My mom said she was the one who got it, but she didn't want to take the time to show me how to have fun with it.

No, I don't believe my finding the remote proof that I'm the chosen one. I believe that a person can pray and God might help someone find it if it's His will.

I borrowed The Missing from the library, and I've got a question. What happened to Ben Sisko and his son Jake? I always liked him as a captain. I noticed of all the captains that had kids, there's Kirk and him. Kirk lost his in the original timeline, though we don't know if David Marcus will exist in the alternate timeline. Sisko had Jake through marriage, and Jake never died. I still haven't checked out the last episode from the library. He didn't leave, did he?

As for the kids thing, how far behind on the shows and other books are you? There's a lot of stuff that you seem to have missed.

Well Henderson got me PO'd by blocking me from psi-phi, and that was shortly before Nemesis, and I've been taking it out on writers since.

I think one of us is confused, and at this point I'm honestly not sure which one of us it is.

Just don't volunteer to stay late to do inventory after midnight!! :eek:

Dice can be evil. One time I rolled three sixes!

If that's the one where you can twist it or something and make it play music, I may have got it for Christmas one year but never did anything with it because I didn't want to read the directions for it.

I guess you should have asked on a BBS if anyone knew how to play it, to see if someone could have saved you the trouble.

No, I don't believe my finding the remote proof that I'm the chosen one.

That was perhaps just a smidgen of sarcasm. I was trying to say, in a dryly humourous way, that many people the world over manage to find things without resorting to asking a Ouija board, so it wasn't really anything special that you found the remote all by yourself...

I believe that a person can pray and God might help someone find it if it's His will.

... oh, wait, God helped you? So you *didn't* find it all by yourself? You'd think the Supreme Being had enough on His divine plate that He wouldn't really be terribly concerned about your remote, or whether or not you found it.

Hmm... could God hide a remote so well that even He couldn't find it?

I noticed of all the captains that had kids, there's Kirk and him.

Don't forget Janeway's lizard babies! (Poor, abandoned lizard babies...)

I'm not entirely sure what you're on about here, but Nemesis was in 2002... fourteen years ago. So you've been taking it out on writers, in general, for the actions of one person fourteen years ago? Maybe it's time to let it go?

I can't imagine why he would have done that.

Psi Phi was a website devoted to Star Trek fiction (among other things) with a BBS inhabited by various Treklit luminaries like John Ordover and Marco Palmieri and Keith R.A. DeCandido in the early 2000s. David Henderson was the owner/moderator. I think it faded away around 2007 or so, and a lot of the regular posters migrated over here. Jason Irelan was among the posters, though he obviously took a lot longer to migrate.

Lucky us :rolleyes:
