guess I'll have to score a tv on a regular basis now!

~aschuth Mon, May 10, 1999 (09:09) #2

Score!

At least you have thought up a topic. Our fearless leader suggested we do so and here I am with blank where brains should be. I have a real tribble!

Who's your favorite Star Trek character?

~KitchenManager Fri, Aug 6, 1999 (15:13) #5

of all time, or the original series?

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 6, 1999 (15:22) #6

Intellectually, Spock. Gut level, Kirk. Cute, Tribbles.

~wolf Fri, Aug 6, 1999 (18:03) #7

couldn't stand kirk. luved scotty but wasn't a real trekkie anyway.

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 6, 1999 (19:02) #8

Truthfully, everyone else from green aliens to little girls in my Living room loved Kirk, so I agreed. I was a closet Dr Bones McCoy person.

My favorite character was the bond between the original three, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. It was so strong it was nearly tangible. Especially in the films. I loved how they found ways to say "I love you" without actually mothing the words. Each had strong characteristics, but each also had some characteristics lacking, which the others supplied. Spock gave Kirk reason, McCoy gave Spock compassion, Kirk gave them both spontenaiety and strength. I miss them still.

If you're looking for information on the ships of "Star Trek," then visit the "Daystrom Institute Technical Library." http://www.scifiweekly.com/issue121/site.html

Charlotte, I know exactly what you mean, and I miss them, too. *sigh* Thanks for the link for the starship fleet, William.

~Charlotte Sat, Aug 14, 1999 (10:04) #12

WILLIAM??? :)

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 14, 1999 (10:55) #13

There are other options, but his Mother chose this one, so I thought it might be a good one to use. William the Conquerer fits, too. (Would that not be a great name for some space megalomaniac as well as our RG?!) Or, am I being far too formal?

~KitchenManager Sat, Aug 14, 1999 (11:39) #14

Yes, Charlotte?

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 14, 1999 (12:32) #15

I think that might have been a question to me about my method of address rather than summoning you, but I shall get out so you may converse.

~Charlotte Sun, Aug 15, 1999 (12:19) #16

Marcia's right. I've never known him as anything other than WER or kitchenmanager, which frankly, I always thought were rather impersonal, but hey...it's an impersonal medium. Odd that you call him William, Marcia...instead of Bill, or Billy, or BillyBob. :) I'd nix the Conqueror bit, tho. We wouldn't want to pollute his ego. :)

~MarciaH Sun, Aug 15, 1999 (13:15) #17

I know him outside of here, and in the real world he is known as William, which I call him there. Some slips over into here. Wer it is on The Spring...it wouldn't do to confuse everyone. Besides, Initials are so manly, are they not?! (IMO, he's NOT a Bill, most certainly not BillyBob, and NEVER Willy...not to me, at any rate.)

~MarciaH Sun, Aug 15, 1999 (13:18) #18

ah....Charlotte...I did not mention what he had conquered...and I think I had better leave it just that way =)

~Charlotte Mon, Aug 16, 1999 (21:41) #19

Oooo! Now I get it! Now I will never be able to think of him without appending "the conqueror"! You go, William!

sorry to ruin the revelry and jump back on topic but I really did enjoy Dr. Spock a great deal. Charlotte, i agree the bond was tangible and I suppose, if it counts, that was my second fave character

~KitchenManager Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:02) #21

lookit Stacey getting on topic!!! (this is more like a Twilight Zone episode than one of Star Trek, though...) Harry Mudd(sp?) was my fave from the original series...

~stacey Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:09) #22

... my name is muddd... (do do do do...)

~KitchenManager Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:13) #23

*lol*

~stacey Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:15) #24

*grin*

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:17) #25

I loved the way the Harvey Mudd story ended. Comeuppance for sure!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (16:26) #26

Yes, I know!!! Profuse apologies to graduates of Harvey Mudd College. The Star Trek Episode to which I concur was Harry Mudd, of course.

~ratthing Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (17:45) #27

Harcourt Fenton Mudd!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 24, 1999 (17:56) #28

i know...i know...why did I not post it that way???!!!

~Charlotte Wed, Aug 25, 1999 (09:49) #29

William the Conqueror....Harvey Mudd. Makes perfect sense. :)

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 25, 1999 (10:52) #30

*lol* I'd be interested in hearing your line of thought leading to that conclusion. My feelings were quite the opposite!

~autumn Fri, Aug 27, 1999 (21:43) #31

Off topic...Charlotte, that link to the movie critic you like that I enjoyed so much seems to have expired. Do you have a new one for him?

~Charlotte Sat, Aug 28, 1999 (21:22) #32

James Berardinelli? I haven't changed my link to his site in ages. It still points to: "http://movie-reviews.colossus.net" and I just tested it and it works.

~mrchips Sun, Aug 29, 1999 (04:02) #33

"Harcourt? Harcourt Fenton Mudd! Have you been drinking?" "No, Stella..."

~mrchips Sun, Aug 29, 1999 (04:52) #34

Khan was pretty cool, too. "Kirk, you are in a position to demand nothing. I am in a position to grant nothing."

~stacey Mon, Aug 30, 1999 (14:51) #35

"Khaaaaaan" *shaking little walkie talkie in fist...*
