If he is, I would like to say: Voyager sucks and I've never watched every episode. Also, Berman and Braga suck, and they suck their own butts, and they suck each other's butts.

Perhaps the loss of his beloved star trek forum and volunteer work cataloguing toy packaging will convince him that it was wrong to rape a child.

Yeah, I get that. I remember getting made redundant from my job the same day the finale aired. Talk about a double gut-punch.

Season 4 Farscape isn't by any means a BSG-scale trainwreck, but I've always felt the direction they took towards the end was disappointing. I think the main issue was the Skarrens were never interesting enough to be the central villains, unlike, say, the shamefully underused Nebari. And Servalan McMagictits was a horrible, horrible character.

Haha holy gently caress that chick totally was Servalan too, I never realized that before

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I don't think I've ever noticed before, but there's a battery compartment on that ship. So it's not a plamo kit, it's an actual toy? When you press the button, does it normalize a 30+ year old having relations with a toddler?

It's the Playmates light and sound Voyager, an item I would have thoroughly enjoyed as a child but we stopped getting Trek toys out here shortly after the first run of DS9 figures, so that image kind of bums me out even though Voyager as a show obviously sucks.

They really weren't making a huge effort to get the toys from DS9 and on in the stores compared to the massive run on TNG stuff you could find everywhere. I remember being able to pick up the first run on TNG figures at some local hole in the wall wholesale store. Toy stores had at least half an aisle dedicated to all the poo poo. I guess it just hit saturation around Voyager like everything else Star Trek since I barely saw Voyager figures and the aisle shrank.

Speaking of toys, I've been doing some cleaning and I found the TNG bridge playset. It's a whole lot smaller than I remembered.

Never becomes a regular no, but he shows up about as much as a supporting one can.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

At the end of season six, the series undergoes a drastic retooling with the elimination of every possible love interest for Bashir as Garak takes over those duties.

Go to memory-alpha and choose a random image from a random article. If it's an HD screencap, his user name will probably show as the uploader.

Someone on Something Sensitive, a site which is basically butthurt people who got banned here, doxxed him. Unlike most doxxing, this revealed that he had convictions for child molestation. He resigned as a mod very quickly, and a couple few hours later Lowtax and pals were like 'h... holy poo poo!' and permabanned him, as well as a parachute account he'd registered. There was some kerfuffle, who knows how much real vs. feigned, over just how badly the mods had failed in their due diligence regarding the guy who rides herd on the TV forum.

They also revealed his deviantart account, which had some questionable photography he'd done. The one that really freaked me out was a picture of a kid and some adult sitting at a table looking at each other, but it was taken through some blinds or a window and titled "The Stranger".

The best part of it all was the TrekCore article about the spacklefaced Data doll that he was so proud of that he even posted teasers for it on here, as if anyone gave a poo poo, was quietly publushed without author credit.

That plus the bottled up anti-Aatrek sentiment that came gushing out as soon as he was gone.

I think everything on that site is published without author credit. I can't find any credits on any of the articles. Unless Aatrek wrote all of them.
