Today everything I ate was re-hydrated. This may be why I puked at one point.

However, in non-puking news, I watched like half a season of DS9. Which was me watching the arc-y ones of S4 and then the occasional one that amused me. Here is my observations:

Do heterosexual men give each other chocolates as a gift?

No.

They also rarely--if ever--admit that they enjoy spending time together more than they do with their wives/girlfriends. Even if it's true. It's the saying it part.

However, I find Dax does come in handy for explaining regeneration to Whovian n00bs. Even if Jadzia only ever got to have real fun with 3 old Klinzhai dudes (any one of whom would have been a better husband than Worf, who is not so much Klingon as Russian, and therefore in need of a lot of vodka and a really cold winter and the occasional Cossack attack before he actually starts to unbend a little).

Dood. In the Pale Moonlight may be the best damn Trek ep EVER.

Also, there is something so amazingly fantastic about O'Brien wanting to eat his gun in Hard Time, for not being one of those perfect enlightened 24th century humans Gene Roddenberry thought would make interesting protagonists. And instead, we get a human everyman we can identify with, who is 1000x more interesting than Data or Picard or Kirk or ( ... )

I think Keiko suspects.

I fear I'm one of the few people who thinks Worf was too good for Jadzia rather then the other way round. :(

And instead, we get a human everyman we can identify with, who is 1000x more interesting than Data or Picard or Kirk or Archer could ever be.

I hate Data. Did I mention how much I hate Data?

Yes! The epsiode where she has the ceremony to meet her former selves is like a multi-Doctor story too.

'In the Pale Moonlight' may be the best damn Trek ep EVER. Indeed. Although my favourite speech comes from "For The Cause", where Eddignton rants that the Federation are worse than the Borg because thy're more udnerhand about their assimilation.

Your lj-cut; it's so true. If someone says they like Trek, I have to find out whether they're a Niner or one of the other lot.

- Maybe Sisko shaved off the eyebrows when he shaved his head?
- Avery Brookes is kinda sexy in this.

I've never seen a haircut improve a man's looks so much - and I don't normally like baldness.

- Worf feels like a DS9 character who occasionally guested on TNG. Like Miles, but taller.

The awful thing with the films is the way they stole Worf and made him boring, and then stole the Defiant without any credit!

- Why does Gowron remind me of Speedy Gonzales the cartoon mouse?

Gowron's roastingly Welsh accent and big hammy gestures crack me up.

- I am so glad Scott Bakula isn't in this
Yup. How could they make a show more boring and stupid than "Voyager"? How?

- I don't think there are adequate words to describe the sheer injustice that Miles is not the beloved of Trek fandom as he SHOULD SO TOTALLY BE, OMG.SO TRUE. (Although when I first watched it I was in love with Julian, and so resented Miles ( ... )

Randomly, I read a TNG book the other day and there were ninjas. Who wore beige so they'd blend in with the ship. It amused me vastly.

Enterprise D was a Hyatt in space. They had potted plants in the halls. It was just wrong. And it's so very hard to take Picard seriously, even in First Contact, being all macho and massive gun wielding, when all you can think is "Dood. I will never forgive you for Vash and Risa. You suck."

However, Captain Jack and the Outrageous Okona so need to get drunk in Quark's together.

You know, it takes a man very confident in his heterosexuality to have sex with another man.

It's from some anime fandub I saw like three years ago that I can't even remember the name of. But it was such a great quote that my friends and I quote it all the damn time.

And now I'm gonna have to go do research and figgure out what it's from, because otherwise, it'll drive me nuts. Also, I want to see it again, cuz it were funneh liek woah.
