  1. Re:Dude, that show sucked. on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I'm eagerly awaiting the movie, and I'm a proud owner of the DVD set.

    I bet the whole problem was that people didn't "get" the silent space sequences.

    Idiots.

    If B&B had taken the Star Trek universe, and told a Firefly-style story (a story of actual underdogs, not contrived ones), it would have been somewhat more interesting.

  3. Re:Bullshit on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I actually wanted the series to be based on the 29th-century USS Relativity - I mean, imagine if the time travel was the core of the show, and not just a Deus Ex Machina gimmick to pull a retcon out of a hat?

    While we're at it, imagine if Rod Stewart hadn't been involved, and if Gene Roddenberry was still alive, and if he kiboshed Enterprise to keep Firefly alive ... maybe the last decade of star trek has all been a dream?

  4. Re:Just like TOS on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    I think that his point had something to do with Explosive Decompression, but I happened to like Firefly - even the weapons.

    I mean, you just can't get any better than Vera.

    Anyway, I'm out - I'll be in my bunk.

    I call bullshit.

    HIV, like many other viruses, is not able to survive in an oxygenated environment. Imagine millions of little virus cells exploding as soon as they are exposed to air.

    So if your place of work utilized a butt-print scanner, and it got broken into, you could say they stole your data "arse 'n all"?

    I suppose you could say that, but I was really just joking around - I don't even own an HDTV-capable unit, so ... all in good fun.

    I don't actually have an HDTV, nor do I have any plans to get one - however, I live in British Columbia, and Shaw offers several HDTV channels (less than one hundred, more than ten).

    I was just making a stab at humor, and (if you want to stretch it that far) at the FCC's apparent desire to force everyone in North America to buy a new TV.

    Teehee ... in the road analogy, MS left giant potholes in the road when they built it, and it causes the Nail Trucks (tm) to spill nails all over the road whenever they hit one.

    It doesn't help that the Nail Truck Drivers (tm) are intentionally trying to hit the potholes for fun and profit, of course.
