I hate that when I forget to say "no ice" and they fill it up with 70% ice. Or when I do say it and they give me these snide, dirty looks like I'm a cheapskate or a weirdo for saying that. Well they're all gonna pay. Next time they look even the slightest bit surprised, out comes the Winchester. Blam. I'll pump 6 shells into each one. Then I find and kill that kid who wiped spit on my neck back in 6th grade. What an asshole he was. I was just standing there on the playground and he runs up and wipes his hand onto my neck. I mean what kind of sick bastard does that? I should have kicked his ass. But he was like 1.8 times bigger than me. Of course that's nothing compared to some of the weirdos who sat next to me in class. What's up with American children and their bodily fluids? Or was it just my school? One guy had poison oak rashes all over his legs and he wiped his blood onto his binder. Another guy put snotballs onto his computer keyboard. I'm gonna shoot them too one day. Anyone still hungry? |

And a little sugar in the french fries. In my opinion, the best burger place is In 'n Out Burger, in California and Nevada. The burgers are made to order. Nothing is ever frozen. The potatoes are cut in the restaurant and the french fries are dried with a towel after frying. They only use low-cholesterol fats so your throat doesn't get all slimy after eating. The shakes are made from real icecream. The staff is always nice. Best of all, it's cheaper than McDonalds. |

Actually there are Brit restaurants in America. Round here there's a couple fish and chips places, and there's also a couple of these "British pub" type places which serve food. Like bangers 'n' mash. Toad in a hole? Crumpets? I'm trying to remember what the heck I ate when I went to school there as a little kid. It's not all bad. Sometimes too much flavorless boiled stuff though. If you compare it to other countries' food, Brit food is pretty much the least interesting and/or complicated. |

Italian food is the best, of course. And I don't mean that junk they serve at the Olive Garden. That restaurant deserves a good firebombing. The food is hardly even inspired by Italian food. And don't get me started on pan pizza. I have never seen it in Italy. For any of you liveing in the LA area, go to "Toscano" in Brentwood for real, excellent, fantastic, fabulous, delicious Italian food. |

When I went to England, I did a few things with my food that freaked my host family out. 1}They never heard of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. When I made one, they refused to eat it because it sounded so strange. But the kept the peanut Butter and Jelly jars on the same shelf right next to each other. 2}Only a few coffee houses knew what a Mocha was. in one place in Edinburg, the waitress had to ask the owner if she was allowed to put chocolate in the coffee. 3}Mexican food in England was a fun trip. Coming from So Cal, I am well trained in eating Mexican Food from authentic family recipes. I did not expect something really good from England but come on, put some spice in that tomato sauce. But to your credit, In England I had the best roasted chicken I have ever had in my life. My host family baked it every Sunday, what an awesome treat. |

Say what you will, but IMHO "Message in a Bottle", "Scorpion" and "The Killing Game" were brilliant. ST:V has better acting than any of the other shows. Next Gen was too politically correct. Where was all the "Boldly Going"? I think that the crew wants to investigate stuff so that they can leave a legacy of science. They know it is going to take a long time to get home, and they are willing to take a little longer if they can perform research that will benefit the rest of mankind. |

Star Trek is just so fake. How about those transporters? That thing has been used at various times to: a) Reverse aging I mean come on. They always forget the solutions from previous problems in the next episodes. And it seems like whenever you walk into a transporter you get killed and a clone of you is created at your destination. And Voyager's early episodes had terrible scripts. The crew members would stand there on the bridge arguing about gibberish technobabble they pull from their asses. I mean they stand there having a long argument about nothing. Janeway: <ponders for 0.5 sec, then looks happy> "Yes! And that would do blahblah and jokgork just enough to let us through their pobbl shields! <concernedly> But wouldn't the bibblyfizz radiation weaken the subspace field around Voyager's antimatter drive?" Seven: "Correct. I estimate a 22% chance of containment field failure." Kim: "Perhaps if we reprogram the central tractor hokkak retinum the field would be stabilized." Janeway: <determined> "No, that would endanger the trilithium matter conduits. I'll not put this ship in any more danger than I must." Kim: <excited> "But not if we crack the hydrowalnuts in the holodeck! The phase tremolos would cancel out!" Janeway: <satisfied> Excellent. Let's do it." |

Haha! Very good. I know all that, but I still like it, and everyone here seems to know quite a bit about it, so you ARE watching. The reason that there are transporters in ST is the following: When they were planning the original series, they calculated that they did not have a budget to show a spaceship landing on a new planet every week. Presto! Transporters. I agree that they are silly, but unfortunately they cannot disinvent them now. |
| SnowFire |
posted 08-31-98 11:08 PM ET
You think transporters ruin the story? I'm telling you, it's time travel that ruins the believeability of the Trek universe. It creates far too many ways to solve problems, and in episodes with it, the results are so ludicrous it's incredible. Roddenberry should've resisted the temptation to add it. Especially since some actions in the past affect the future and some don't. There was an episode of DS9, where O'brien's daughter gets warped 300 years back in time (every one know all random events involve large round base 10 numbers) and they try and bring her back. Instead of going back in time to 5 minutes before she got warped to move her to safety, they go through a whole silly charade that makes little to no sense, just to make the plot work. If time travel was extremely dangerous/unstable/unreliable it'd be far, far more believable. And then there's the question of why everyone doesn't warp their fleets back in time to conquer everyone else way back when.. the Borgs try in ST:FC but with only one lousy probe. If they sent a cube back there, then they coulda been the masters of the galaxy... unless the Enterprise had simply warped to 5 minutes earlier than the probe and destroyed it as soon as it came out of time travel. Diabolik: I think I've watched maybe 4 episodes of Voyager. So we aren't all watching, neccesarily. And in the Killing Game, why didn't the ugly guys simply take the holodeck technology and let the voyager go or kill them off? Instead he has to toy with them having them recreate battles. Silly. |

I think you watch ST for other reasons than I do. The basic plausibility of the plotline in any of the ST series is _extremely_ easy to criticize, so I won't start in on that. Rather, what makes me enjoy ST: V, is that the characters do develop. It works on an individual level, and, since they're out there on their own, cut off from the rest of us humans, it is easy to control what input they get. Also, the input shown in the series can ("plausibly") be claimed to be _all_ the important input they actually receive... So, ST: V is about personal development, which I find makes it more interesting than NG or DS9. The natural (for me) next step at this point, would be to consider the age/maturity (that is, if the first fairly can be claimed to correspond to the second, which, I admit, isn't quite fair) of those posting on this BBS. On the other hand, some people would claim that evincing any interest in ST whatsoever is a sign of immaturity, not to speak of interest in computer games. I dispute this as being the POV of a bigot reactionary w-out insights into modern culture, but then again, I am SMACaddicted... To sum up: Janeway rules, Sisko is just an inept relic of a pathetic, male chauvinist society. |

Here's your excuse as to why it won't matter when Mark breaks the record in tommorrow's game (probably) He's been taking a type of steroid that is allowed in baseball. The Olympics and some other organizations do not allow its use, and very few players in the majors use it. |

Actually, Creatine is just a dietary protein supplement. As I understood it, it gives you the equivalent of eating lots of meat and stuff. And it's perfectly legal, you can buy it in the store yourself, and there's ads for it on TV. Plus, many players do use it, including Sammy Sosa. It's so funny the way the media behaves. When the story broke, the reporters were all blathering about how it could influence young people and set an example and blah blah, but the only reason anyone knows about it is the media hyping it out of proportion in the first place. Another thing people seem to ignore is that McGwire has been hitting 50 something homers a season for a while now, while not using the pill, and the only thing preventing him from having already broken the record is that he usually gets sick and misses a large chunk of the season. But not this year. |
