I agree so much that I couldn't confine myself to just liking your post.

Oh, Garak.  How I've missed you.  You can come be ambiguously flamboyant on my TV screen any day.

I know!  I really want to like Keiko, I see a lot of myself in her situation and would have LOVED to see them do more with her.  There's some great potential in that whole setup.

I wish they had done more with Keiko.  I like to imagine that they just never showed all the happy stuff.  But I probably over-identify with her, as I am myself a woman scientist with an engineer husband and a small child - so her home-career-family juggle really strikes a chord with me.

Did you ever get to the Star Trek Experience in Vegas?  Their restaurant was a recreation of Quark's Bar, and pretty impressive in a Cardassian-Art-Deco sort of way.  It got shut down unfortunately, but I think there were efforts afoot to reopen it.

Yaaaay!

Deal!

Thanks for these reviews, Zack, and thanks to all the commenters as well - I have been a dedicated lurker on these boards since TOS, and you guys are the best.

I kept hoping to see The Scotsman from Samurai Jack somewhere in there.

At first I thought that was a photo of someone from late-1960s era Pink Floyd.

Sapphire and Steel! Classic spooky, low-budget British weirdness.

I went to Caltech as an undergrad, and I actually lived in the dorm room with the Saturn mural on the wall (they rebuilt it on a soundstage for the movie). No access to the steam tunnels from the closet, though.

Oh, Providence
He doesn't seem nearly as much fun as Mayor Buddy "Operation Plunder Dome" Cianci.

"TOS's pulp-driven theatrics occasionally edged over the border into camp"
I thought TOS frequently flung itself over the border into camp.

Whoever plays Clive Merrison's Watson does a good job, too.

Orange whip? Orange whip?

She's a bass!

Did you say… A CHICKEN?!?!

Not loud enough!
Where's Brian Blessed? Now THERE's a loudly yelling British thespian.
