One can only imagine. She'd certainly do Romulans well. Have you ever read "Brothers of Earth"?[/quote]
No I havent. Its taken a long time and Im not even done with the Foreigner series yet. I could imagine how she would handle the TnT scene. She is very character focused.. I would also like to see her redo Earths Final Conflict.

I've met him twice (photo and autograph) and then asked him a question on stage once about TnT. He was kind of short with me, but I admit that in the photo and autograph sessions I was near the back of the line, so he could have just been tired.

Another BSG-convert!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

The thing I experienced right after watching BSG was like "Wow, ST sucks", lol but, you just have to look at Star Trek in its own context I guess. The great thing about BSG is that it's a totally different kind of sci fi. In many ways, it's more realistic and better story telling. To some people, it's unpleasantly dark. But I love it.

I thought SG1 and then SGA more accurately portrayed a space-military than Star Trek -- but that BSG took it to the extreme and therefore for many cases did a great storytelling job, for others it's a little overly dark. You could also say that BSG takes the "good political/war" stuff out of DS9 too. Cuz DS9 got a little darker in the interstellar/socio-galactic political landscape. But BSG does that too.

"you just have to look at Star Trek in its own context"

You really do. Like I said elsewhere...it's audacious. Nothing else is like it, good or bad.

Oh I really like the darkness of BSG. Well and I also like the lightness of the Stargates. And I like whatever the hell Trek is. They're all awesome shows in their own way Mr. Green Very Happy

Based on one convention and four hugs (three individual and one group...plus him signing my NOT.DEAD. T-shirt while I was wearing it) I'd have to say that Connor Trineer is not only a REALLY nice guy, but he smells good, too. Twisted Evil

Watching: Ruffian

Such a sad story.

I'm glad they didn't release this movie last year with Barbaro....that would have been too much.

Sad

What can I say? I love horses....seeing them get hurt makes me sad.

Reading:Enterprise: What Price Honor Pretty good so far. I also picked up Articles of the Federation...and Enterprise: Daedalus at the library.

I still haven't read Rosetta yet.

Watching: Fallen Hero. Ambassador V'Lar is a great favorite of mine. My one and only outline for a fic features her.
Reading: The Black Powder War. Like combination of Hornblower and Jane Austin and, and, and...some really great book about dragons. Tea With The Black Dragon, maybe?
Listening: Apocalytica. Cellos rock!

an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

Good luck ... I wasn't able to get through Daedalus at all. None of the characters felt remotely accurate to me...

Watching: Just finished the season finale for The Tudors.
Reading: The Eisenhorn omnibus by Dan Abnett. It's about this inquisitor for the Empire of Man hunting the forces of Chaos and slowly being corrupted, and is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Listening: To thunder.

I gotta say, I have to wonder if he knows that women are his demographic and treats them differently though. He was just sorta short with me.

Watching: Band of Brothers. I've actually never seen it start-to-finish.

Reading: Still "The Good That Men Do" and "State of Denial" by Bob Woodward. I'm also a few pages into the novelization of "End Game" Voyager's finale, but it's really boring. Thinking about skipping right to "Homecoming".

I am just starting to read Crabwalk by Gunter Grass, a novel about a German family deeply effected by the sinking of a refugee ship a family member survied during WWII. I am in the middle of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth; which I'm gonna make the grandchildren read over the summer if I have to pay them to do it.

TV? Only ST DVDs, after I flop down on the couch after a long day. If it was a week day - after work. If it was a weekend day - after tending to the boat: washing windows, painting, oiling teak, pumping out the bilge, storing snacks, tinkering in the engine compartment (I have discovered that a Trip Tucker I am NOT)... or out pounding the waves up on plane on Lake Michigan with son-in-law and grandkids. That, or drifting in a rocking boat with a fishing pole in hand beats the heck out of watching TV anyway (except for ST, of course). Son-in-law wants to put a TV in the boat cabin. Over my dead body!

It is hard to settle down to writing fan fic in the summertime!
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.
