"Haven't we done this before?"
"Uh... no."
"Seriously, I'm sure we've done this before."
"No."
"I knew you were going to say that."

GO!

earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read?
Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?

Eww. I would not want to be him.

eh. to each his own, i guess. i could settle for being adorable

Adorable doesn't cut it. Refined yet rugged manliness is my desire.

Also, I'm watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture right now. This is really quite bad.

besides there are few men more rugged than Mr. MCaugh.... mcCoughn.... that guy. his refinement, admittedly, is debatable.

Ahahahaha! The first time I saw TMP was on the Special Edition DVD. That movie is atrocious. :lol:

In fact, come to think of it, I think the first time I watched TMP is thus far the only time I've watched TMP.

Which really raises an interesting question - which is worse, I or V?

I got it on Blu-ray... it's the original theater release. Wowwww... look at our special effects!

I'll be watching V at some point soon, so I'll be able to offer a definitive answer on that...

it took me a while to realize that by V you didn't mean either the comic book or the novel by Thomas Pynchon.

Ah, the original release. Which I have not ever seen. Can't imagine that it's much better. Except that it's shorter.

At least it's crisp. Though I am horribly distracted by the dual-focus lens they use on the bridge. >_<

That was back when filmmakers were experimenting with all the dumb techniques we now know don't work. Good times, eh?

I'd also like to point out that cause and effect is quite possibly my all-time favorite TNG episode.

I kind of like tmp. At least the story holds together better than V.

Also, the only time patrick stewart has been in my dreams, it was more about x men than trek.

Dinner sucked for what it cost
