Dinner at Quark's

Timewalker, yes now I know who you mean. I was totally cheap this Christmas and bought my man the total set of 'I, Claudius' from a charity shop for £3.00! We have watched it, I find it great to go to sleep to, but he likes it!
I did take him to see 'Les Miserables' as well!
I would love to see Patrick Stuart on stage, he has such presence and such a commanding voice but would I expect Klingons in the background?
 
How often have we seen problems, though? Statistically, I don't think it would be any more risky than driving a car in 2008.

Probably less so ... but that's not the issue I'd meant to address.

[Off topic]

I was referring to the fact that dissolution and reassembly might well constitute a cessation of existence. Star Trek has long avoided addressing the transporter's inherent philosophical and theological implications, mostly because it's a largely atheistic setting.

I'd be willing to wager that certain intransigent fundamentalist religious sects (of various faiths) forbid particle transport even in emergencies, and assert that any being subjected to it is dead—replaced with an undetectable Changeling (in the traditional rather than the Trek sense of the word), a demon sent to inhabit the doppleganger body and live out its life (a la Dante's Inferno) ... or even reconstituted as some sort of faux-sapient golem.

I'd further speculate that the more mainstream Terran faiths in Trek, assuming any still exist, have no doubt declared that no transmigration of soul occurs during transport—that it is untouched and remains attached to its corporeal form via some ineffable process/quality, such as the Grace of God, so long as transport is successful.

*sigh* I wish I had the whole set of I, Claudius. There was a 14th one, about the making of it as well. My copies are self-made VHS tapes that are nearly worn out from repeated viewing over the years.

Btw: Patrick STEWART is the Star Trek actor. Patrick STUART is an American soap actor. They're not a bit alike. ;)

As for expecting Klingons... no, not really. I didn't expect to see Klingons in Lady Jane or Robin Hood: Men in Tights. But try to watch the Lynch version of Dune (Patrick Stewart played Gurney Halleck) and get the image of this fierce Atreides warrior fighting the evil Harkonnen and Sardaukar terror troops... carrying a pug dog! :scream:

An interesting meal, but i ain't touching the Klingon food. I like living.
