Subject: RE: BS: Star Trek 47: So Very Tired
Another DS9 fan, here. The first season or so half-blew your dead uncle Phil, but the rest was pretty damned good. Though they got a little too cuddly at the end... I liked it when people hated each other.

I'm sure the new one will be pretty lame, full of typical Star Trek garbage about time travel and full of "aliens" that look exactly like humans, except for the square knobs on thir foreheads. (And the Next Gen. episode that "explained" the origin of all these humanoids... Ooogh, don't even get me started. The WORST episode in ANY of the Star Trek series...)

And I dunno about Count Bakula... (reference to a Halloween feature in The Onion that I can't find to link to) It'd have been nice to see someone besides a typical WASP American captian. ("Johnathan Archer," yech) Are there no Croatians, Somalis, Turks, Mongols, Chileans, Malays, etc. flying starships? Even the FRENCH Captain Picard was English! Did the dark-skinned majority of our planet quit having kids some time around 2020? But, oh, that's right. They have the token Korean and the token black guy. That makes it all better. Grrr. (Another reason I liked DS9, BTW)

But, like, I'll watch it and stuff. ;)
