Well, in Brick's defense, a small-town Indiana library probably doesn't carry the kind of scholarly journals he reads.  Maybe if the Hecks moved to Bloomington…

I saw a news item where one of the Phelps women was singing an Ozzy tune… so the WBC must be into metal.

True, Overthinker, but it would explain why Bajor had a sudden spike in energy needs, when the more populated hemisphere entered winter.

Yes, Dr. D, I remember that when it happened.  Understandable, but very sad, one of those things that casts a pall on one's childhood in retrospect.  (And I have now given away my age…)

Damn, Richelieu, I was hoping to sleep tonight.  Now you put that picture of a naked Ayn Rand in my head, I'll just have nightmares.

The map in Lord of the Rings was a major help for appreciating the novel.  Not sure whether a map of Bajor would have done that much for DS9, though.  Guess we'll never know.

"You shore do have a purty pagh!  Squeal like a targ fer me!"

Kitten's whiskers?  So that explains why Worf was afraid of me in TNG.

What a coincidence… I had a crush on Julie Newmar.  I think it was her tight black rubber suit.  MMM..  Julie Newmar.

Buzz is the new Beastie Boy!

Janeway: "You killed Kimmy!  You bastards!"

I would almost agree with this, except that I read the book so I could see what the colossal douchebags were ranting about.  I would say the people who read that piece of crap and take it as scripture are colossal douchebags.

Elrond had to be a dick because he was played by Hugo Weaving.  Hugo does a great job at playing a dick.

Agree completely.  The books were fine as books, but Jackson's changes had to be made for the films to work.

I watched it just for the Laura San Giacomo parts.  Something about her really turned me on.
