[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Yeah, I never even bothered with Enterprise. I saw one episode, and thought "Geez, could they have hired worse actors?"

And yeah, doesn't Nemesis follow the rule of even-number movies?[/QUOTE]

Actually, the odd-numbered ones are the ones that tend to be regarded as mediocre and/or stinkers. See: Star Trek I, Star Trek V, Star Trek: Generations, and Insurrection.

The even-numbered ones are, for comparison, Wrath of Khan (II) Voyage Home (IV), number VI (whatever title that one had) and First Contact, which all pretty much owned. (IMO of course)

[QUOTE]And a random thought: Once you become a steady Star Trek actor, you are pretty much set for life. Also, you're mostly going to be type-cast for life, also.[/QUOTE]

That's probably the biggest reason why Patrick Stewart, a Shakespearean (sp?) actor par excellence, continues to accept paychecks to do them. :)

Wrath of Kan had Ricardo Montalbon in it, though. That automatically gives it 6 stars on IMDb.

It's a shame I only have the Picard song on my other computer, and can't find it here. I suddenly really want to listen to it.

Steerpike 01-17-2006 07:46 PM

Did you guys ever hear the Banned on Vulcan album by the Goth artist, Voltaire?

Lord Abortion 01-17-2006 07:52 PM

I'll ask Jessica, she's a Voltiare fan.

(that's evilmenhavenosongs, for the unenlightened)

Oops, I thought Wrath of Khan was the III.

III was Search For Spock.

One of the few good odd-numbers.

Hey guys :wave:.

Tell me if you'd get as soured as I did from this situation:

Listening to Peccatum on the bus, a girl turns to me,
Are you listening to Evanesence(sp?)?
Me: No
Her: That sounds like them... who is it?
Me: Peccatum
Her: I've never heard of them, but they sound a lot like Evanesence
Me: OK cool
Her: Can I see your headphones for a listen
Me: OK
*hands over headphones*

She listened to the Moribund Peopel and criticized how it's an Evanesence rip-off and then said that they were ripping-off Atreyu when Isahn started screaming. I decided it was best to just smile and nod.

:rolleyes:

(sigh) Some people.

Personally, I would have had a little fun by saying, "That begs a question though. Who in their right minds would want to rip off either of those crappy bands?" Just to see the reaction.

blue3 01-17-2006 08:42 PM

Haha. You should've screamed at her or something.

Hahaha, I was thinking something more along the lines of insulting Amy Lee or whatever the whore's name is:

At least Heidi Tveitan doesn't need to use voice modulation to sound like sh[COLOR="Silver"]it[/COLOR], mostly because she can actually sing.

[QUOTE=blue3]Haha. You should've screamed at her or something.[/QUOTE]

I should emphasize that this same girl said it sounds like people vomitting when I was listening to Cryptopsy.

I am going to destroy her.

nobodyblossomsforever 01-17-2006 08:48 PM

hey guys.

Who hates Algebra II? :mad:

[QUOTE=Acoustic Bandit]hey guys.

Who hates Algebra II? :mad:[/QUOTE]

I did when I failed it in 9th grade and had to go to summer school.

Riva 01-17-2006 08:50 PM

Why? She has different musical tastes. Get over it.

Sure, you can complain about it. But destroying someone because they dare to not like your music is imbecilic.

[QUOTE=Acoustic Bandit]hey guys.

It's easy for me, so no, I don't hate it.

What a dumb bitch.

Nostalgia 01-17-2006 08:51 PM

Yeah, I hate algebra to. For most people it's not even to hard since I'm only 15. :(

I concur. Just start shrieking as loud as you can.

Dude, I can't even destroy people anyhow, the universe wouldn't allow it.

I was kidding when I said that, it just soured me out that she tried to talk about music with me but then compared Peccatum to Atreyu and Evanesence.

WTF?? When i was 15 i had Calculus. Whats wrong with you guys?? Algebra is one of the easiest maths ever!! Just wait until AP Math theories

Sry i don't mean to make fun of you. I'm just pissed now that i had to do calc in 9th grade and from what it looks like around here nobody else does.

My line:

"No, no. Actually, he's not vomiting, he's farting. That's just how metal he is."

Holy crap! She tried to connect with you socially, and instead of trying to correct her in a nice way, you put her down, and hence lost a possible friend (which you already have very few of). Great work, Captain Dumbarse!

[QUOTE=Acoustic Bandit]Can you help me out with something then?[/QUOTE]

Yeah sure, just type out everything in one post for clarity's sake.

I take almost everything as a personal challenge to test my wits. You can have a lot of fun that way.

He didn't put her down though, he just smiled and nodded.

I didn't put her down, I just didn't really care anymore. I've had enough cases of trying to correct people and it failing. I talk to her on the bus every day, she's not exactly a friend, and she annoys me sometime. Also, what do you mean I already have very few friends? I don't get where that's coming from...

[QUOTE=Steerpike]:cool:

That is so true, though I've been trying to cut back on the sarcasm and such a little lately because of certain problems it's caused with those who don't get it.

EDIT: Also, just curious, have any of you ever heard of Lilitu? They're freaking great... [url]http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=4072735[/url]

You don't even have to be sarcastic. Take for example the last thing I said. That's not sarcastic, it's just ridiculous.
