[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 6330151, member: 1190"] To be honest, Rejoined while an entertaining ep, actually reinforced the hetero bias of ST. After 8 (9) lives of male and female living--and given that clearly Jadzia didn't have trouble being physically intimate with Lenara--there is no reason at all that Jadzia wouldn't have been bisexual. But we only ever saw her flirting with/dating/marrying men. The only queer character we ever really got was the Commandant (mirror Kira). She was also evil. Nana Visitor actually went off in an interview about how absurd that "creative" decision was. Re: bastard sword... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_sword#Longsword_and_bastard_sword[/url] It's always sort of annoyed me that it's in there anyway. Given that two historical definitions place it between the short sword and longsword in length rather than as a "hand-and-a-half" version of the longsword most often used in D&D, there is clearly a question of role, construction, and purpose. I'll reserve the term bastard sword for those unfortunate intelligent blades who don't know who their maker was. :p [/QUOTE]
