Ugh. "Friendship One." That horrible, horrible episode.

Yep. Lots of people seem to hate that one for different reasons. I was furious about Carey being brought back just to die; Jim Wright argued passionately against Janeway's carelessly-written final sentiment that exploration doesn't justify loss of life; purists were angry to see a delta symbol on a probe that predated Starfleet, much less the symbol's broader use which didn't start until the movie era; and Janeway, of course, will personally kill the next person who says "antimatter radiation." (Heh -- I just noticed the fiver also has an April Fool's reference. Timely.)

You're up. Side down.

To celebrate April Fools I'd give a quote from a non-Trek series for a change, but nothing's coming to mind that'd be mainstream enough for you guys.

"When the neutrinos are in bloom."

Wow. Hey everybody, see that red mark on your face? That's where Nate just slapped us with his glove.

That came out more snobbish than I'd intended, but I can't be sure how many of you were fans of Stargate or Andromeda. Never Babylon 5, however. Ugh.

Heh -- if that's snobbery, I want my money back. I was expecting, I dunno, Blake's 7 or The Quatermass Experiment or at least Isaac Asimov. The stuff DoctorWho42 is always quoting on Facebook, in other words. </reference no one but me will get>

I can only speak for myself, but I love DROM, though I haven't seen much of the later stuff. (Okay, I did list it in Five-Minute Cheese, but that was affectionate ribbing.) SG is a franchise I never got into -- the movie's great, but I couldn't see a whole TV show in that premise. One of these days I'll catch up and probably love it.

Not a B5 fan, eh? I'd pay to see you and Sa'ar duke it out over that one. But hopefully I'll get it for free!

Don't recognize the quote. For clarity, is it in fact Trek? And if it is Trek, is it "Rivals"?

Yes, Star Trek. Not Rivals.
