ST:DS9 just did not "do it" for me. I didn't get into the Dominion War. I barely got into the Cardassian/Bajoran conflict. The characters were, for the most part, BOOOOOORING. "Oooh, let's spice things up a bit and have Worf get it on with Dax!" FAIL. "Uh, how about having Quark the Ferengi Bartender get it on with a Klingon chick"? FAIL SQUARED! "Ok, we'll give them a ship so they can actually go places instead of being stuck on a boring ol' space station all the time." ONLY HALF FAIL BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE GOOD IDEA THEY HAD AND TOO BAD THEY HAD IT FIVE SEASONS IN. "Well, what about the episode where we sent them to the TOS mirror mirror universe?" CHEAP HACK FAIL. (ALSO, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE HAD GOATEES.) "And the TOS Tribble ep?" RETCON GRUDGING PSEUDO-RESPECT AND ADMITTEDLY THE FUNNIEST LINE IN THE ENTIRE SHOW. "Ok, how about we just fess up and admit that we stole the whole schtick from Babylon 5?" OH NOW WE'RE TALKING TRUTH.
Anyway, I was just stopping by to see if you were dead or something, since you had managed to void your warranty on your "play every quiz for a whole calendar year" gig, but you're not dead, so I guess everything's ok. And, hey, free DS9 rant. Carry on.
