Not as much as you would think. REALLY not as much.

Tetris is fun to play! I used to play that all the time. I need to see if the game works in windows XP...

I'd rather see if the one I have works... I haven't seen an updated version that I know of... but then I usually don't peruse the game section at Best Buy much.

 

[Crothian]

actually, i wouldn't be surpised to find a freeware version on the web somewhere

Me, either. So far, I've only met Robin Curtis (Saavik), James Doohan (Scotty), and Aron Eisenberg (Nog). Which is fine with me - I don't really care that much about meeting the actors. The creative staff - writers and such - are what I'm more interested in.

Same here. Although, I wouldn't mind meeting (or being) some of the people that had the recurring roles.

I never found Kirstie Alley attractive at all.

I guess I forgot about her. I didn't count her.

And I thought Robin Curtis was a much more appropriate look for Saavik, if not as good an actress, until I went to a convention and got to listen to her talk about Tetris and female masturbation. (Not kidding. ) Now, seeing her kinda makes me uncomfortable.

You poor man.

not your typical conversation.... how....why....errr....better not ask.


My imagination is much better....

About as bad as Chase Masterson showing up

-faced and drunk at the last convention I was at.... Not to mention shocking the heck outta Bill who had to "deal with her" one year at the same con when her luggage got lost, by cussing out the poor lady who worked for the airline she'd used.... And she likes showing up in revealing outfits that just scream "RICH WHORE!"... :\

I don't see how anyone could talk much about Tetris. And masturbation is for somewhere other than at a con in public where there might be kids listening.... Do I really wanna know what con you were at, Torm? Was it Fantasm? :\

I don't honestly remember which company did the 'con, but I know it was billed as a Star Trek convention - not a misc sci-fi/fantasy con, or anything like that. I had never heard of Fantasm before your post just now - I went and looked it up, and I can safely say that no, I have not nor will I be attending anything like that. The only costumes Mystra or I have ever dressed up in have been standard Star Trek or Star Wars stuff - I do love handing out candy at Halloween in the Vader costume.

It has been almost a decade, and I've tried to forget as much of her speech as possible, but it had something to do with her getting tennis elbow or carpal tunnel or something, and it being from masturbation, and someone telling her to tell people it came from playing Tetris, which she really did get into afterward - or something like that.

Hey everyone! A quick hijack of the hijack: If, as has been suggested, a "re-envisioning" is the next step for Trek, what changes in the premise would you like to see, and who should play the roles?

I'd like to see them define the tech a little better for the writers: No more crew transported in as children because of changes in their DNA the transporter shouldn't have paid any attention to. No more firing large amounts of "particle of the week" through the deflector dish. And all of it a little flakier - makes for better plot hooks, and gives McCoy a REASON to fear the transporters.

Also, I'd like to see 'em go through the current military regs, and make sure that if we ALREADY know it is stupid, we wouldn't be doing it in the future.

As for actors, I'm not sure who could play the Big Three, but I see Rachel True for Uhura, Shannon Elizabeth as the Arab replacement for Chekov, Robin Shou or Daniel Dae Kim as Sulu (changed to be Chinese instead of Japanese), and Paul McGillion as Scotty - although that last one would probably mean waiting for SG:Atlantis to end...
