PNQ: What's the first major world event you remember as a child? I was a little too young for the Challenger disaster, I don't recall the fall of the Berlin Wall, etc. Truth be told, the first major world event that I witnessed knowing that it was a BIG DEAL was 9/11, and I was 19 at the time.

PNQ: Do you think they'll eventually do a Kelvin-style reboot of TNG?

Ed Asner died today.
Yet another in a long line of "I thought they were already dead" entries. PNQ: Favorite Asner role? The Mary Tyler Moore Show and similar are way before my time. I had completely forgotten that he voiced Hudson in Gargoyles, so I guess that would have to be my pick in retrospect. Second would be J. Jonah Jameson, and third is his various appearances as Granny Goodness. As for Mike Cosgrove on Freakazoid, I never really watched that show. The whole Animaniacs-style of overly topical jokes doesn't appeal to me.

I only watched Up once. They were trying too much for a kids movie (I've noticed that Pixar tends to do that, with varying levels of success). And like everyone else, I would've rather have had the whole movie be the "Married Life" stuff. That scene still tugs at the heartstrings.

Regarding Colonel Kira being made a Commander in Starfleet...
PNQ: Shouldn't she be a Captain? As an aside I decided to look up a chart comparing Army (i.e. Bajoran Militia) and Navy (i.e. Starfleet) ranks. Major is equivalent to Lieutenant Commander, which is odd is retrospect. I think Kira was in charge of the entire Militia within the Bajoran system (besides Bajor, of course). Perhaps she was really a Lieutenant Colonel, which is equivalent to Commander. A full Colonel is equivalent to Captain. Memory Alpha confirms the Colonel/Captain thing and brings up Colonel West. Then again, Colonel West wore uniform decoration above the level of a Captain (and again, insert Nate's theory that army-ranked people were really members of UESPA integrated into Starfleet). Of course, I suddenly wonder why Bajor would use Earth rank titles anyway. And while we're on this rank kick, I found myself wondering why the Romulan Commander would equal a Starfleet Captain and where the term "Sub-commander" came from. Apparently for Sub-commander T'Pol it was declared that the rank was somewhere between Commander and Captain. Memory Beta has a chart comparing Vulcan and Romulan ranks. Which is odd, you'd think they'd be the same. And don't forget, the Vulcans have their own fleet separate from Starfleet. The Trek BBS forum has a nice conversation comparing Vulcan and Starfleet ranks.
