Oh, @avclub-c1fe85b855c6d045b827f74a1e2c3fd7:disqus , I've always loved your posts. But when you said  "Like Ernie and Bert" now I want to (fuck, he's a muppet, gotta keep it PG) bake you toll house cookies …

That's a pretty good fanwank, @avclub-749a8e6c231831ef7756db230b4359c8:disqus , and I think I'll incorporate it into my personal Trek canon.

@avclub-19b1e8d29a0f4d71a95a48a7123d0502:disqus , that might be because, for the people you meet in real life (whatever that is), VOY is a more accessible show than DS9.

Just finished Babylon Squared, waiting for the next disc. (I'm renting them on zip.ca, which is kind of the Canadian equivalent of  Netflix-That-Was, a DVD-by-mail service.)

Hey, no problem, @avclub-fd172dda9796767557675385e915cab4:disqus  — I'm not really spoiler-averse. Show's been around for what, 20 years now? I've never seen it before, but I've picked up an awful lot of future developments through sheer cultural osmosis.

Be of good cheer, @avclub-13d7df3c17502af69aafccc758195f96:disqus . If Ace Rimmer taught us anything, it's that sometimes those of us in the non-sexy universe get called to replace the sexy version.
