QVC Drinking Game posted:He's not super prolific but I feel like I've seen him in major movies more than I have any other latter-day Trek actor except Stewart. He seems to be the go-to guy for "sympathetic Arab supporting actor" (Kingdom of Heaven, Syriana). Actually, looking at Siddig's IMDb profile, he's been fairly active with regular work since DS9. He's certainly more prolific than his co-stars, and has regularly appeared in British shows with wide audiences in the Commonwealth nations.

Didn't I read that Django is, like, the #1 most popular boy's baby name this year or something?

It said #1 was Asher, which...just makes me want to punch someone in the face. Someone named Asher. But one that's not a baby. It's like there's some sort of instinctive urge to pick on anyone with that name. So I'm watching that TNG where Geordi is cloaked. Why didn't he get the idea to start writing things with his hand in the wall so that Data would detect it when he was scanning for the fields?

If specific patterns in the particles were detectable, I think Data would have seen that there were humanoid-shaped spots all over the ship.

Everyone in Star Trek is a hipster. Jadzia plays tongo, Bashir pretends to be a 1960s spy in the holosuite, Nog becomes the only Ferengi in Starfleet, Picard studies obscure alien anthropology, Data writes cat poems, Paris watches tv... They have to come up with all these weird ways to either live anachronistically or make themselves stand out from everyone else because everything is handed to them and it's so easy to end up just being the guy who stands in front of a console and eats replicated food and dies on away missions. So basically the same as hipsters now but in space.

i wrote a movie Captain Geordi LaForge and first officer Commander Reginald Barclay, along with an intrepid crew, are roaming the galaxy in the USS Travis Mayweather. The captain and first officer are both in private holosuites. Suddenly, Voyager sends an emergency hail: Captain Chakotay has discovered, using Borg-enhanced sensors, the Remans and a rogue micro-collective of Borg have allied and gathered on a planet to create a super weapon. The USS Travis Mayweather rushes to join Voyager, where both have a mighty showdown with a badass Borg-Reman orbital defense grid. They're too late, and the weapon opens a time-rift. The crews of both ships end up in Archer's time, during the activation of the Xindi weapon. Geordi, Barclay, Chakotay, Commander Seven of Nine and Ensign Harry Kim hijack the Xindi weapon and use it to ride a temporal wave forward into the future, to seconds before the Borg/Reman superweapon goes off. The Xindi weapon needs one person on board to attack and destroy the Borg-Reman colony and the superweapon: Ensign Harry Kim, one day away from promotion, heroically gives his life to save the universe.

Your Honor, I object! My esteemed colleague, the learned council for the defense, did not, in fact, count to four, thus invalidating her counting three more. Her assertion that the players have moved along to shap three is entirely frivolous.

So, Galaxy's Child. Ignoring the creepy Geordi stuff, Troi has the most useless ability ever. What good is an empath if you can't tell that an alien thing is feeling threatened? She could've warned them to back the gently caress off. But she sucks and is useless, so

The thing Troi is most useful for is lighting up cigarettes between takes, bringing her tiny dog to set, drinking a bunch of beer, and otherwise being a loving hooligan right up until the director says action. Man, I wish Troi had turned out more like Marina
