Weird music stuck in your head or weird television/movies you watch

True. I mean, what a setup: half the cast ARE FREAKIN' TERRORISTS! Imagine the potential for drama and conflict and all of the numerous episodes upon episodes showing the Star Trek ideal of putting aside your differences and working together!

Except that they all end up being about as threatening as teddy bears and end up behaving EXACTLY like Starfleet crewmembers at the end of Episode 1.

Yeah. I mean, the whole Maquis thing was built up through TNG and DS9 primarily to set up Voyager. This was supposed to be the big show that integrated the conflict into the main plot. I mean, what if Janeway had been the first officer with the captain getting killed in the first episode, then having a power play between her and Chakotay, this experienced guerilla(sp?) captain, with Janeway having to earn respect and hold onto her authority as the commander. In addition, earlier episodes in DS9 and TNG established that the colonies in the Maquis had a different culture from that of the federation. They didn't fall in line with the federation idealized world so much, so that would make an interesting conflict.

There is one possible upside, depending on how much you're willing to MST the series. Just think, with such a well established difference of culture and hostility towards the federation, just what did Janeway do to break their will and turn them into her willing lackeys? I mean, look at Chakotay, B'elanna, and Harry Kim. You've got the guerilla leader who hates the federation, a half-klingon with an attitude who hates the federation more, and just look at Harry Kim. I mean, I know he's not a maquis, but everything about his demeanor just screams whipping boy.

That's a big part of the reason I liked the Scorpion two-parter. It actually explored the conflict that was supposed to be a part of the series and did a good job with it.

In other words, without Berman/Braga. I think the only good thing you could say about Voyager was that it took up too much of their time and they ended up pretty much leaving DS9 alone to be awesome.

Like I said, I don't think Braga was so bad. He did well when paired up with a good writer. It was just when he was left to his own devices, he was a disaster. For example, when paired with a good writer, you got things like Scorpion, ST: First Contact, 7 of 9, and the Doctor. Leave him on his own, and you get crap like Threshold. If you thought creationists fucked up evolution, just wait until you see that episode.

Yeah, especially when it didn't work!

Not to mention, it lets them make some really unusual creature designs and such. I guess that's part of the reason I'd love to see a Trek/Who crossover. It'd be interesting to see the Borg integrate the trek/who technology from an aesthetic perspective. And the Borg monologue might sound interesting if Dalek, Cyberman, and Ood voices were mixed in.

It was some time ago
I was a wrestling fan
But I couldn't even watch it
Thought it was so fucking bland
Got sick of boring matches
Got sick of scripted promos
I had a sickness and I
Needed a cure
I went online to kill some time
And saw you on a message board
You didn't look promising but you were there
And I was sick of porn
And so I watched you with a frown
And you turned it upside down
Now I only want you baby
Even though you been around

Botchamania you're not alone
When you are in the Danger Zone
There is no Danger here inside
The Danger Zone of my heart
Botchamania my love for you
Is like 21 I got 22 I don't even care
If you're making money
I came to love you
Check the adjective: love

A year or two went by
And I still want your nookie
And so I sneak a peak
At your website when you're not looking
Always reminding us
Everybody talks too much
I forgive you for the shit with that guy's knee
That was fucked up
Screen-capture Jim Cornette
Tweet it to Vince McMahon
And then he runs and breaks his ankle
And we laugh at him ha ha ha
All of your music rocks
You're sponsored by CHIKARA
You'll be around as long as
World Wrestling Entertainment
Continues to employ
And push Sin Cara

Botchamania you're not alone
When you are in the Danger Zone
There is no Danger here inside
The Danger Zone of my heart
Botchamania my love for you
Is like 21 I got 22 I don't even care
If you're making money
You better bring a lunch
Botchamania you're beautiful
The way that you move I need you so
I never could leave you say you won't
And I will believe you oh
Botchamania I can't believe
You haven't been sued by everyone
Especially CZW
They don't come across too well

Earthbound Zero/Mother 1 has arguably my favorite soundtrack of any RPG. There's just something about it that really clings to me. Maybe the fact that even though it is 8-bit, it just has this charming feature about it. Unfortunately, Mother 1 is a Japanese only title. We were supposed to get the game as Earthbound Zero in America for the NES, but by the time they had translated the game and had it ready to be shipped, Nintendo decided at the last second to simply cancel the North American release due to the SNES already well established here, and Nintendo just weren't confident the game would sell well. That being said, the translated version of the game is still playable through emulation, as well as post production carts that people have made.

Yes, but when has that ever stopped you.

Mother 1 was my favorite of the 3. Despite the fact that it was incredibly simple, yet insanely difficult, there is a real charm to the game that I can't really describe.

I did a playthrough of it last fall on my youtube channel

[Virgil0211]

Funny. That's what yo mamma said last night, Trebek.

I stand correct.

I invited you as a friend on YouTube.  I'm there as vspqbd.

And you didn't get the celebrity jeopardy joke? For shame!

I forgot who you meant by "Trebek".
At first I thought it was a Star Trek reference.  Then I remembered Sean Connery saying that on a parody of Celebrity Jeopardy.
