Extension of the DS9 and other SciFi talk - why dont writers realize that we love really epic space battles and good intrigue and war? - Capstern Dec 7, 12:42 5

    - i'd say yes. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 12:45

cows damage mans house by licking it -- (link) - Beaker Dec 7, 12:29
Amazon mp3 special of the day: Buffet Hotel by Jimmy Buffett for $3.99 (a day early) -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 7, 12:29
Cappy, I liked Voyager alot but never got into DS9. My standards are low so YMMV -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 7, 12:24 8
- so here is my advice....(spoil) - Capstern Dec 7, 12:24
- DS9 is the BEST Star Trek series. -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 12:24 6
  - I still prefer about 75% of TNG - except the really silly crap but DS9 4-7 was damn good - i even liked replacement (spoil) - Capstern Dec 7, 12:26 5
    - word -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 12:38
    - Exactly. DS9 was two series. There was "space station" DS9 and "intergalactice war" DS9. Guess which one rocked. - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 12:32 1
      - but I think that was the plan all along, they laid the seeds for most of the later seasons right from the start -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 12:35
    - spoils - Beryllium Dec 7, 12:27 1
      - I agree - Capstern Dec 7, 12:28

LIR: You know, I do wish more TV were compatible with just being on in the background while you do other stuff - con_carne Dec 7, 12:21 9
- No. I enjoy TV with a higher IQ than that. If I want something "on" while I'm doing other things, I'll turn on some music or something -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 12:32
- I think that's why I watch a lot of FoodTV and DIY shows. People talk to me, but I don't really have to listen to them. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 12:31
- But I figure hercules and xena are very easy for "background" viewing -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 12:27
- I do this too, anything I miss I just come to ST and ask :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 12:27
- I agree I can only have it "in the background" whne I am MMO playing cause that takes less attention than the show...and OMG the FS episode - Capstern Dec 7, 12:24
- Sliders! -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 7, 12:23 1
  - I am trying to decide if I really want to watch the final season and risk mental abotion of what I enjoyed about it - - Capstern Dec 7, 12:26
- if you're not paying attention why have it running? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 12:23 1
  - By paying attention, I mean *undivided* attention. The high amount of plot details Beaker says above he comes to ST to fill in on. :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 12:31
Looking for some suggestions...this will sound odd but I have a hard time talking about myself in email when addressing people on a professional level - Capstern Dec 7, 12:20 5
- You may be better off canceling all verbs or forms of the verb 'to be'... - OAE Dec 7, 12:53
- and when I say talk about myself I mean... - Capstern Dec 7, 12:21 3
  - the only history i would give would be maybe one line like.. - Elf Andie Dec 7, 12:35
  - Their focus is probably more on themselves. Introduce yourself, tell them why you're there, and ask what you can do to make their life easier. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 12:34 1
    - nice both of you thanks!!! -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 12:47

  - oh, i will, i'm playing it all now. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 12:22
- [deleted] 6
  - Because it's a way to prove your love to her. No really, I've had it phrased to me that exact way before. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 12:26 4
    - btw, i'm not talking about when you are first dating and you really are more than happy to see anything with them. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 12:33
    - I've decided I've already proven my love enough :) -- nm - Roger More Dec 7, 12:32
