Piccard would be just as happy riding the squeaky chair at the DMV. He's the functionary Kirk is the individual. Besides, when is the last time Piccard cut a record with Joe Jackson?

Ya, I figured. And knowing that travelling at c you'd only cover less than one third of one in a year lets you know that it's a true metric assload of distance too. :-)

I'm sure you've seen this or similar before, but never underestimate the ability of fangeeks to rationalize away little inconsistencies.

As for boinking people from Star Trek, well, let's just say Dr. Crusher can examine me any time.

Bones was a much better doctor, though, even if he wasn't a bricklayer.

This cistern is better than the old one, it can hold more water, it fills and drains faster and volume can be measured in both metric and standard.

Me too...like Ellen said on her show..."There's twice as many rides at Bi-Land.".

The same aformentioned Gwennie met Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) too. Gwen ran a number of SF conventions in the Chicagoland area at one point. But Ms. McFadden she met whiile the lady was not completely dressed...thereby hangs a tale.

LJ's father's wife (Deb) has a friend (pay attention, it gets confusing from here) who was dating Michael Dorn. When she mentioned this to me I jokingly said "She's dating a Klingon?! What the hell is wrong with her" or something to that effect.... Anyway, Deb, not a fan, thought I was making a racial slur of some sort... thought I was a racist for months after that.

This is probably only funny to me, but I already typed it out, so...

She's puting her glove on. "Just bend over, Mr. Dallas"

I'd have thought they had developed more advanced diagnostic technology in the 23rd century, but hey...

In the picture posted here, Officer Harrington appears to be respectfully accompanying a feline subject who radiates great powers. (Of course, this may be artistic license on the part of the illustrator?) T'Pau, Queen of the Universe, nevertheless claims no kinship with "Cat" of Red Dwarf.

Which picture? Not that I do not accept T'pau's Rule, having seen her picture elsewhere.

Tonchi · 02-26-2006, 12:35 AM

Post #14. I can't figure out how to link photos here.

T'Pau, Queen of the Universe, also realizes that evolution will probably produce felines in the future who lack her dazzling and luminous beauty

That's Nimitz, a treecat from Honor's native planet, Sphinx. Nimitz is her friend and familiar...Honor has padding tailored into the shoulder of her uniform so Nimitz can hang on without doing (much) damage to Honor's shoulder. The treecat race and their relationship with Sphinxians and others is a semi-major story arc in the series.

Nimitz and Honor have saved each other's lives on several occasions. To tell much more would be spoilers. Nimitz has his own spacesuit, which is a good thing because he's had to abandon a crippled man o' war along with Honor on at least one occassion.

This being originally a Trekish thread, I took "T'Pau" to be a reference to this T'Pau. Didn't know about any feline connection there.
