[color=#000000ost_uid0]- The link for the time trap fiver is missing the "/startrek/" part of the URL.
- The title for the sleapers part says "Sleapers, Part 4" instead of "Sleapers, Part 6".

But the fivers were great, Marc and Andy. And the "Dr. Crusher" line in the top 10 list was great.[/colorost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0="Derek"][color=#000000ost_uid0]But the fivers were great, Marc and Andy.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]And so was the update, little glitches or not. I know you guys don't mean to be inconsiderate, but this "pile on Kira" thing that's been going on is exactly that. These threads are for feedback on the new material; if you see an error, by all means report it, but do it by emailing me. (I'm in a better position to fix this stuff during business hours.)

Anyway, the site is [iost_uid0]full[/iost_uid0] of glitches, 99% of which are my fault and not hers. Anybody want to try guessing how long I had one of Chakotay's speaker credits listed as "Caretaker" in the pilot before I noticed?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]"The Emperor's New Cloak" was quite amusing.
[quoteost_uid0]Mirror Vic Fontaine: Hi everybo-- GAK!
Mirror Bashir: That's for the cheesy '50s set!
Mirror Vic: GAK!
Mirror Bashir: That's for the screen time you stole!
Mirror Vic: GAK!
Mirror Bashir: And that's for the freakin' album you did!
Mirror Vic: Okay, OKAY! I said GAK![/quoteost_uid0]

Marc did an excellent job with "The Time Trap" too.
[quoteost_uid0]Spock: The Klingons are plotting treachery against us.
Kirk: How did you find that out?
Spock: By using the Vulcan Mind Hug, of course.[/quoteost_uid0]
:lol: I can't see Klingons getting involved in anything called a "hug" that doesn't involve death in some way, but what a funny mental image that was!

The new Top Ten List was good as well. (By the way, has Marc read "Dark Mirror"? Just curious.)

Part 6 of the Sleapers Saga was entertaining as usual, though I'm still convinced I'm missing something in Zeke's line about "Greg 'Soon' Thaid".

And "Non Sequitur" is solidly funny.
[quoteost_uid0]Computer: Service record for Harry Kim, Ensign. 2367: Entered Starfleet Academy. 2371: Lost with U. S. S. Voyager. 2372: Mysteriously appeared on Earth and called up his service record, which he is currently reading.
Cosimo: (over the comm) Ahem.
Computer: Oh. Um, I mean, never left Earth.
Kim: But weren't you just saying --
Computer: No.[/quoteost_uid0]
My favorite part.

[quoteost_uid0]Kim: Shoot, I forget where I live.
Cosimo: On Earth, of course. You never left.
Kim: I meant what building. You'd think an alternate timeline would at least tell you that much, but noooo, that would be too fair.[/quoteost_uid0]
I hate it when that happens. Alternate timelines and dreams are just so mean.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Coolness. Again, very funny stuff.

[quoteost_uid0]1. Deanna Troi as the sadistic, leather-clad Intendant of Betazed, gleefully purring the words "I feel your pain" to errant underlings as she beats them with a riding crop.[/quoteost_uid0]

You know, this site really does highlight the lack of words that mean the same as 'funny'.

I take it this means that we're going to see 'The Counter-Clock Incident' tomorrow then?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, it hasn't been done so far. I wasn't sure if you'd save it for last or not though.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Good again, all!

Andy, I must confess I have no clue as to what this refers:
[quoteost_uid0]Mirror Ezri: Nah. Hey, it's nothing personal; I'd just prefer to hang with a bunch of deaf gypsies that want to curse me for an eternity while simultaneously being force-fed rocks and dirt by a huge flesh-eating spider.[/quoteost_uid0]
This just amuses me for some reason:
[quoteost_uid0]7. LaForge as a dissolute rake who defects to the Alliance when he is kicked out of the resistance for spending all his time seducing women[/quoteost_uid0]as did a lot of stuff in [iost_uid0]Non-Sequitur[/iost_uid0].

I also must admit not having a clue about Greg "Soon" Thaid, except that it sounds like something out of a bad fanfic, spoken with a variable lisp. It'll make sense to someone, I'm sure.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I can only hope that will be true in my case.

[quoteost_uid0]Uh huh. See: Zeke's member title. Then, see: Kira's member title.[/quoteost_uid0]

I still maintain that 'Zen Administrator' suits him better. Though I can never remember which of the two Dirk Gently books it referers to.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That's apparently from Long, Dark Tea-Time, though I don't really see the connection with Zen navigation. Â I mean, I know what you're getting at, I just don't think the parallel works.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Man, they're fun. My uncle and aunt (not the dozen-cat-owning ones, though they do have two of their own) have three of them, and I've ridden as a passenger on them on a few occasions.[/colorost_uid0]
