    My girlfriend teases me whenever I complain about my receding hairline, says I should do a combover :bergman: But, I got her after the recession started, so I'm happy.

    Of course, I tried the bald look once. It... doesn't work for me :shrug:
    I just try to keep it short at this point and just roll with it.

    that's fascinating. It always struck me that Firefly's weaknesses, such as they were, was in everything BUT the writing. I could see a writer watching it and thinking "trying too hard to be clever" but I'd never have thought it would be seen as dull.

    For comparison's sake - did you find 2001 and/or TMP slow and mundane too?

    What's more shocking was that DannyBoi actually has a child. He is one fucking depressing faggot and for any woman to even be intimate with him, less alone to be pregnant by him, is what's... shocking.

    Dude hates everything in life and that he actually got his penis hard enough to shoot his man yoghurt inside another woman.... its more unbelievable than the ghosts that give BlackDove their deadly lapdances.

    Face is just kidding.

    I mean, how could you possibly provide tech support without internet access?





    Oh, I stand corrected.

    No, it's cool. I understand. It's a miracle your country exists in any electronic form at all. I commend you for your ability to mock someone else online.

    I'm going to go eat a cow.

    Have a nice day. (Or as they say in your country, thanks for calling.)

    As I say, maybe I just picked the wrong episode, but my first thought when I watch anything is, "Do I like the characters? Are they interacting in a way that's plausible? Do they like each other or, if there's animosity, what's it all about?"

    I got none of that from this scene. Sorry.

    2001, in its era, was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. I was very young the first time I saw it, and found it amazing. Seeing it now, I'd still get a chuckle out of the apes, and the spacecraft dancing to Strauss waltzes (it falls just short of being camp, the way the dancing hippos in Fantasia are camp), and there's a palpable tension in the Frank vs HAL scene, but the rest is rather like waiting for a bus.

    As for TMP, hack out those 20 minutes in the middle of "God, will you look at that?" "Wow, what is that?" "Wow, did you ever see anything like that?" a.k.a. "How to Make a Big Budget Movie in the Wake of Star Wars," and you'd have a much better film.

    Still the weakest of my personal Best Five (I through VI, minus V), but a decent effort and, again, in the context of a decade of There'll Never Be Any More Star Trek, not half bad.

    no chance you remember the episode by name? vague synopsis? the mcguffin?
    just so we can figure out if it was one of the less than awesome eps or not.
