Data knew how to throw a guilt trip…
The guy had no emotions but he sure could make you feel like crap. Perhaps it was his lack of emotion, his rationality that made him so good at it. I’m sure he took advantage of that and could get people to do things by just being rational.
I think I’ve watched too much Star Trek and invested too much time into it when I can watch an episode and find the flaws, the time line issues, the complete lack of recognizing past shows and so forth.
There are times when I’ll be watching it and asking, “Who wrote this crap?!”
But it’s still good most of the time. Some of the shows are sappy. But most are good. Spike plays Voyager and BBC America plays The Next Generation. Spike used to play Deep Space 9 but not anymore. I wish they played all three.
Why would anyone be annoyed or unable to work with an android? I mean how could Data be bad at being a Captian. Yeah he’s emotionless but he’s probably the best person to command a ship.
I like to pretend they weren’t morons and didn’t kill Data off in the last movie. I mean how utterly stupid. Brent Spiner said on his Twitter once that he couldn’t reprise his role as Data because he’s aged and Data doesn’t age. But in the TNG episode when Data found his mom it was said that both his mother and Data had aging programs. Yes Data is technically unable to die (unless the ship he’s on blows up) but he had an aging program. This was conveniently forgotten in the series finale All Good Things, where Data hadn’t aged a bit, but everyone else had.
So you have to wonder how these things slipped past? Do they not have quality control people who say “Oh hey no. In this episode we stated this was so, and thus this can’t be written.” Apparently not. Of course something as small as Data’s ability or lack there of, to age, may just have slipped through.
Things like Data’s cat Spot changing from a Tortoise Shell cat to a Tabby are things they hope you don’t notice but obviously don’t care too much about. Or like the fact that Data’s emotion chip went from a rather large chip to this microscopic thing in First Contact. Things only real Star Trek fans would notice I guess.
Anyhow I wish that Rick Berman hadn’t throughly ruined Star Trek as he did. I wish we could have a TNG like show on the air. But with as horrible as Enterprise did (I’ll never watch that piece of crap series) and now with the rewriting of the time line with the Star Trek movie (although the movie was great and hell I can now say Data never did die, since they’ve gone up and basically allowed the whole thing to be redone properly) we’ll probably never see a new Star Trek on the air ever again.

Sir Patrick Stewart!
Patrick Stewart, the best damn actor ever, is now a Knight! Pretty cool.
Now if only they would do another Star Trek movie since the timeline has been rewritten and all.
What I wouldn’t give to see the Enterprise-E back on the big screen. That ship was beautiful.
The West Wing…
I’ve officially become obsessed with the West Wing lately. I doubt it’s an accurate representation of what happens in the White House but it’s fun to watch. When it was on TV previously I was a “republican” so I hated it with a passion because I didn’t like how they dealt with the issues but now that I’m more middle road I can watch and be okay with how some of it is done.
What sucks the most though is that it comes on at 8am and 9am. We do a lot of stuff at 9am this month so I’m going to miss some. This is where a DVR would come in handy. Maybe I can get a box for my room or something but I’d never have time to watch them in there either. Hmmmmm.
Kaylee has been waking up in the middle of the night or screaming in the middle of the night. It’s very annoying. I think it’s just her getting used to her bed again. I think I’m going to lay a blanket over the top of her mattress cause it might be chilly for her.
Oh did you see I opened a new store and took my store off this site. I’m hoping that this gets me more hits on the site. I also am going to start making more things, I need to figure out how to make shirts in general for boys and also want to go over to some toys as well to make. I have a concept in mind of a button bear. Just have to figure out what sorts of fabric will work and how to put it together.
Anyhow this is the link to the site: http://www.pamalashandmadechildrensgoodies.com
Star Trek
Star Trek was great. It would have been better on the IMAX screen but it was great on the regular one as well. Some things I missed, the music didn’t follow anything we’ve expected in the past. I wish there would have been a little bit more with that.
Now on to timeline issues. They weren’t as big as you’d have believed although technically the movie does reset the entire timeline. What’s great about that? We can now pretend that Nemesis never happened and that Data is alive and well. It’s not a huge reset of the time-line and of course it could be explained away too with some creative thinking, but hey if we’re changing a rather minor aspect of history can’t we get rid of the stupidest decision any Star Trek writer has made and not have Data die?
I’m hoping though that this reset though allows for more movies (which if you didn’t know they are already writing the next movie due to be released in 2011!). So this reset allows us more films where with a cast that most everyone enjoys and it also opens up the possibilities of seeing some of the newer series as well in film. Who knows maybe DS9 will finally get a film or even Voyager!
So in the end that the reset isn’t such a bad thing and really adds a bit to the overall story. It was a great film. Really worth watching. I might just go see it again too. I’ll buy it for sure on Blu-Ray when it’s released. LOL!!
Who Cares?
I have to write a post about some things going on around the nation that I think are being blown way out of proportion.
1. Miss California apparently believes that marriage is between a man and a woman only. Although I don’t agree it’s not something that is surprising. People believe that and it’s more than fine to do so. I understand that it’s angering to hear, but she’s one person with a personal belief system and you know what they sometimes differ from others. She can believe what she does all she wants, but that doesn’t mean the fight to over turn Prop 8 is some how worthless. There are constitutional issues to be dealt with whether or not she has those personal beliefs. So in the long run why is one person’s belief on marriage such a big deal? Who cares!
2. Apparently Jr. and Mears got into a tiff and neither were fined and the conspiracy theorist come out and say that NASCAR is treating Jr. special. Who cares?! First off penalties are rarely handed out this early in the week (typically Tuesday) so unless I’m missing something, and I looked on yahoo and Nascar.com, there is nothing there that says they won’t be penalized. And if they aren’t, in the grand scheme of things happening in this nation, who cares? Seriously.
3. The Burger King/Spongebob issue is still going strong. It’s a commercial people, who cares?! Don’t want your kid to see it, turn the TV off.
I’m sure there is more but I can’t remember right now because I obviously don’t care. LOL!
