I know what Hitler did with the Swastika and it was a travesty, but I wonder what happens in Germany when some eastern immigrant has a wedding or other ceremony where a Swastika is often used for it's original intended reason.
I think the removal of the bit about the babblefish prooving the non existance of god was removed less for religious reasons and more for the fact that about 90% of the people seeing the film will hear "Zebra Crossing" and have no idea whats being talked about. Few areas in the US use full on zebra crossings. Most places use just 2 white bars to outline the path a walker is supposed to stay in.
The original LEXX shows (before skiffy channel) had some kinf od plot, but I had to watch them on a bad over the air recption from canada while I was in Erie PA (seven or eight years ago).
WEll season 4 of ENT haing gotten rid of B&B for the most part gave fans what they wanted. I think if we had Mr. Coto from the start of season 1 we would not be having this/. discussion.
Frankly I'd like to see a Trek show focusing on the other races that make up the Federation and related issuess (like dealing with humans).
I could watch a show that had more Shran in it any day. I dont know if it is the actors performance that rocks so well or how the character is written, but the character really has life to it.
While season 3 deserves some praise for having an overall plot and several things tying into a main story. I think there were some individual episodes that were well above the rest in quality. Specifically I am thinking episodes liek the one where archer had to choose between jacking some poor research vessle of it's warp components so it's stucks making a LONG journy home through hostile space at sublight speeds or the fate og earth. YMMV
The sad thing is that even though UPN isnt available in every market, and many SCI-FI fans dont have boxes it still racked up ratings that are about as good as what the new BSG show gets. If that show is sucessfull because of it's raitings how can Enterprise be a failure because of nearly the same ratings.
I will freely admit that the numbers dropped off over the first season and have stayed at the current level ofr a long time.
I would give my left (any bit of anatomy I aint using) for a chance to pay $200 a year for the media offereing of the BBC. All I get is the crappy comercial filled BBC America.
Specifically this has to do with the crews interactions. River (due to outo f order episodes) goes from sane and getting better to wildly crazy to strange with no reason or sense. If you watch them in order suddenly, you see she starts our rather unpredictable but over time starts to be more sane. Same goes for the cres trust of her brother. ONe show he's pretty much a trusted member of the crew, and again because of the screwed up ordering next ep he is not trusted to be alone.
Except for all the French who didn't. It's easy to be a tool and rip on the French for the poor defense planing after WWI but at least the people who could resisted.
Years and years of "Are You Being Served?" re-runs on PBS here in the states has gotten me used to her kind of accent, as well as a few others. I understand it's "lower class and slang filled" but a lot of people who are "lower class" are smart, just because they have accents from where they are raised/live. try spending a few years traveling all over North America and try judging people by the idiosyncrasies of speech. What would you rather have as the Doctors companion, Hyacinth Bucket?
You know, the Master for all his evil and nastiness, got the shaft in "The Five Doctors". The timelords drag him back to Gallifrey and threaten to kill him if he does not help them. Then no one of the Doctors or companions trusts him (understandable) but go as far as to attack him when he is trying to explain that he was sent to help. Because of The Doctor he gets captured by cybermen who plan to kill him as soon as they are done with him and he has to thread his way past all the many "Traps of Rassilon".
As much as he is a villain you cant help but feel sorry for him in that episode.
Careful, all the bab5ers are now going to try to eat you alive as they explain how the fully realized detailed 5 year story arc was divinely birthed from JMS. There were no guest writers, no add-libbed lines and all the scripts were laser etched in steel plates before the filming of the first season.
Not to rabid Bab5 fans. I enjoy the show but you all need to relax a bit.

I'd pay good money for an update on Magic Carpet.
Then why are you posting to /. ?

They could have done a whole "Dark Star" style bit with Lorne Greene as the captian.
But in the third example they had the ultimate deus-ex in the form of Orac. At least the computers in B7 had attitude.

First Contact also is responsable for the alternate timeline that Enterprise takes place in.

Out of order showing really did hurt the show.

"I guess "maximally/maxially profitable" means actors will eventually be digitized away..."
Watch "Looker" for an 80's take on this concept.
I couldnt get into Crusade because it seemed like a rip off of Space Crusier Yamato (AKA Star Blazers)for the most part.
Well if history is anything to go by we can count on an active and well supported by the people resistance.
See the recent article about Fiona Apple at the Register for more detailed info of how the record companies gan rape artists and leave them to die.
To stay there and make sure he doesn't leave.

He will explain later.

Or a pool of standing water anywhere in time/space.
