I think changes in syndication had a lot to do with the declining ratings. I was in Tulsa when DS9 was airing, and I remember its time slot changed every year or so. Generally those time slot changes went from prime time next to TNG to like, 2:00 am on a Sunday night sandwiched between two of the 900 million crappy

I know that in reality it would probably be even more horrible than the first one, but reading what he has to say about a Tri-State Tornado makes me kind of wish for another Twister movie.

Did I read that right? He thinks people remember him more for Chet than for Aliens? Is that true? I completely blanked on him being in Weird Science, but he was one of my favorite parts of Aliens.

I thought there might have been a joke in the middle of all that too, but if there was the tone of that last scene really throws it off.

Jaime says right at the end of the scene "I'll report him to the cops, he'll get what he deserves."

The fact that
