Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise

Steve Krutzler writes "TrekWeb has posted a brand new interview with actor John Billingsley (Doctor Phlox on Enterprise). He talks all about the second season of the Star Trek prequel including the upcoming episodes "A Night In Sickbay," "Minefield" (featuring the first encounter with the Romulans!) and "Dead Stop." He also talks about the character of Doctor Phlox possibly falling into the 'Neelix Trap' and says he wishes the series would kill more people off like the original Star Trek!" Billingsly was great on a recent episode of SG1 too. I'm seriously excited for the next season of Enterprise. I don't think I've ever said that about any of the other Trek series.

    Recipe for a Slashbot

    First, take a teenage boy (not like that, Katz does that later). Next, give him a "C for Dummies" book and then get his folks to cough up enough cash to send him to university. Simmer with annoying teens of a similar ilk until enough pent up sexual frustration allows the boy to feel rebellious towards his country and all the laws that have got him to university in the first place. Next, add a dash of commie ideals and force repeatedly down with generous helpings of the Linux operating system. Now that the wannabe "hacker" has had his mind filled with backwashed rubbish, add in a dash of anti-Microsoft sentiment. Pay particular attention at this stage and make sure that said boy also uses a dollar symbol for every iteration of the Microsoft trademark.

    When complete, prepare the "Source". Mix a little piss-poor C code with a hint of Perl. Stir with adequate helpings of MySQL. Now add emacs and vi - just enough to add spice and future raging flame war material. Now shake until a large mess of fucking awful "Source" is produced. Most of these "I hack the kernel" wannabes cannot and will never code to a good standard.

    While simmering the "Source", open the boy up and stuff him full of bullshit ideology. Recommended ingredients are:

    • "Freedom of Speech" : I can trade copyrighted MP3s because information wants to be free.
    • "Free the Chinese from internet monitoring by Big Brother" : I completely ignore the fact that they have a right to live with their own culture, ideals and values as is stated in MY OWN FUCKING CONSTITUTION.
    • "The government is out to get me" : Start working with Linux distributions such as Tin Foil Hat and then post completely raving non-sensical rubbish about how 'the NSA has been bugging me for years'.

    When "Source" is ready, open a PayPal account and hand over a few dollars to a bunch of useless chimps who can't spell. While waiting for the boy to come to the boil, peruse Slashdot. Find hundreds of arrogant comments posted by "I'm a student and I know Linux so I must be a fucking computing god and don't you dare argue with me" types, print out and stuff into boy. 30 minutes later, your slashbot is complete. Finish off nicely with a side-order of Debian CDs, unwashed Linux t-shirt and ThinkGeek gift certificate.

    Your final result should be : An arrogant, paranoid, smelly know-it-all with basic UNIX capabilities, fuck-all programming ability and appalling social skills. You will find that the result of your labours will be the first to shout out about freedom of speech, but will quickly moderate down anyone they disagree with.

    Who wasn't anticipating part 2 of "Best of Both Worlds" all summer long?

    My question is, why were you that interested in part one?

    Let me see now...

    First, there was TOS... ...and then the TOS movies... ...which begat TNG, and died gracefully in a few years... ...which begat DS9 while it was running, and a few movies they're still working on. It died quietly and under unknown circumstances... ...which begat Voyager on it's dying breaths. It too died quietly, and under unknown circumstances.

    Then out of the blue, we have Enterprize. From what I've seen, it's on life support.

    The fact that you reply speaks volumes.

    You're always taking my bait.

    I may be the lowest form of life on earth, but at least I don't take slashdot so seriously that it hurts my pride when I get trolled.
