" yeah, but does she get to keep the ears? "

---

you talk about what really hurts, and how one could alleviate that pain. the loss, the rage of corporate indecision, and the emptiness left behind; a black hole void of dark energy emitting strange flashing lights from within the folds of space.

i am borg


and what's really wrong?

social injustice? wanton squandering of government funds? the fleecing of the american people? well, yeah. i suppose.

how about the state of the union? that's sort of a given; a communal "doi?!"

but, the news that i find most upsetting, as i wake up to a beautiful sunny day here in bangkok is the most painfully obvious; they cancelled star trek: enterprise.

mind-melding is hot


fanboy? yes. star trek fan? check.

and it's not so much that it's cancelled, as much as it is the fact that fans shat on every series after TNG, until UPN decided to give it a kick-ass go-for-the-glory-huck attempt at the revitalization of one of the best series on television (and in some instances, screen. most noticeably the original movies star trek I-IV...and maybe a smattering of latter films).

and i loved them all! i did. i loved the original series. i loved TNG. i loved DS9, and Voyager. and who cares if everyone i knew hated them? what a fantastic platform for the deconstruction of america, the space program, socio-cultural interaction, and of course intergalactic eroticism. how can you not love this phenomena? are you mad?

i don't care what anyone says, star trek is hot. try and prove me wrong.

my eyes go all wide and dry out, the tears unable to release. i'm sure that there are more important things going on in the world at this very moment, but i have to at least give enterprise five solid minutes of mourning. you feel free to do the same.

i completely understand now


i wouldn't even mind if she didn't crack a smile for me, because i understand that she might be a method actress, and that's respectful. i'm always game for stage exercises. also important to remember, it's just not normal for vulcans to exhibit emotions...but one can try.

tonight's homework:

take a little trip in history with this NPR article, and relive the pan-nerd/geek/fanboy-girl strata that is star trek. then boldy go brush your teeth and beam your sad-ass to sleep.
