->Quoshara reminising about being SWAN, heard Myranya say:

MW> I noticed that on the Trek echo's, too -any special reason? You sure
MW> got everyone curious...
Oh? Well, it's simple really. I'm joining KAI (Klingon Armada International)
and that is my new Klingon name. Since I, basically, only post to Trek/SF
echos I thought I'd go ahead and use it here.

MW> Most of the time I just laugh about that kind of thing -really, it's

MW> some folks are willing to believe. I guess they just feel really
MW> silly when they find out they fell for a really obvious one, and
MW> then they take it out on others... Most of the time I let it go
MW> -they're not the type to appreciate any funny response I might give
MW> them, anyway- but sometimes I just can't help myself and I _will_ rub
MW> it in.
I know. Sometimes it's *really* hard to resist.
JH> I did, calmly, explain to the guy that both comments were
JH> jokes..haven't got an answer back yet. I probably would have ignored
.....moresnips....
JH> think I ever even typed to him before. Double Sheesh!!
MW> Yeah, that's a little bit too much. It wasn't this one guy -whatever
MW> _is_ his name, can't think of it- who's apparently causing some stir
MW> in the Trek echo's the last couple of weeks or so? Something with a
MW> C I think... Writing lots of mezzies jumping all over people for
MW> nothing... :-( Oh well, he'll probably leave soon, by choice or
MW> otherwise...
Well, there is a C in his first name, but he's certainly *not* a newbie and he
should know better. They tell me that he does this type of thing fairly
frequently though.
I guess it's a matter of "some people never learn."
MW> but they also managed to double-schedule several SF shows. How _DO_
MW> they do it??? Oh well, it's better that no SF at all...
JH> Just means you have to be more selective....I hate that! |-)
MW> Yeah... I got that problem with both screens -tv and 'puter. I need a
MW> screen saver for my eyes, there's a screen-sized image
MW> burning permanently on my retina...
I *definately* understand that problem. 'Though I only get to use the 'puter
when I can pry it away from the kids and hubby....good thing I'm a fast

Signals catalog which is run by PBS they have 1-5 but the charge quite a bit.
There is a place in Richmond VA called Relm of fantasy which offers 1-6 and the
Blooper reels (avoid) and the American Pilot.

JH> Heh. "Already have done"... no, but I've been tempted. ;-)

JH> JMS has spoken out against some of the bashing lately as well.
Have seen the ported-over messages. Unfortunately, my twit filter doesn't work;
reader's unReg ( and it tells *everybody*). As for "just words", true, but you
can't be objective when you see the same idiotic nonsense over and over again,
which is why I'm not ever going to get into the Fido Trek areas, and why I'm
totally browned-ff on TrekNet.
If they're so great, why do they have to bash? Stupid, stupid, stupid...

Spoilers? I don't need no stinkin' spoilers.
When Jeff Hancock typed to All, strange things happened, like....
JH> Definitely a terrific episode, but overall... Not QUITE the bang-up
JH> job I was hoping for. Perhaps I was just expecting too much. Still,
JH> highly impressive.
I still enjoyed the episode, even after six viewings before it aired.
What impressed me was that, instead of just the straight battle with the
Narn vs. Shadows, we cut between the battle and G'Kar praying like heck.
And, when the Narn were all defeated, G'Kar just knew, and entinquised the
candle.
JH> What is with that funky music and Sheridan in the shower? ;) And did
JH> anyone else think for a second, while he was toweling off his head and
JH> heading toward the monitor, with his left profile to the camera, that
JH> he looked kind of like Harrison Ford? ;-)
How many of us thought it was Ivanova?
JH> I thought Draal was a bit of a pompous, preachy fellow during Voice in
JH> the Wilderness, but it is as nothing as compared with his younger
JH> self. The content didn't seem excessively self-promoting, but otherwise
JH> his speaking style seems typical of someone rather full of himself.
A little too dramatic.
JH> I *like* the Narn Warmaster. Too bad... but what a way to go!
Let's see here, W. Morgan Shepperd appeared twice on B5. Both times, he died.
