    I need a Ouija board and a medium to follow this thread.

    How about a reluctant stowaway instead of a medium?

    This thread has all the twists and turns of a Tilt-A-Wheel at a carnival and twice the dizziness.

    Where are we in this now? I see a Lost In Space pic.

    EDIT: Nevermind. I read the rest of the page, but that's all I'm doing. :p

    As an ex-mod, especially an ex-GTD mod, I never comment on "How I would've done it!" Because I used to hate back-seat modding... But this time I'll make an exception. I'm pretty sure I would've closed this by now.

    I could tell Martok was a white actor and that Michael Dorn is black. :shrug:

    In summary, Star Trek has the audacity to be about people?

    It was a rhetorical question. I didn't really want to know.

    But thanks anyway. ;)

    There's nothing but confusing blackness hovering over this thread, though.

    Only the mighty Robau can save us.

    The way they keep saying 'females' instead of 'women' rubs me the wrong way for some reason. Like how the Ferengi did.

    Also the use of 'æ' is odd.

    You know, Robau. A Cuban-American 23rd century starship Captain played by an actor of Pakistani ancestry.

    Robau is so progressive... that his edge cuts others.

    Well you’ll have to settle for 1001001 instead.

    Obviously we’re way off the rails here.

    Closing.
