The Enterprise finale was just on. I only caught the last bit of it, as SG-1 season 2 came in to the library for me, so I've been trying to watch as many of those this weekend as I can, but now I'm all caught in a pique of reminiscence. Or whatever. I was just thinking, now and last week when my brother was watching Voyager's "Endgame", how the Enterprise finale was very disappointing.

I really didn't like it at all. The Next Generation's finale ("All Good Things. . .") was very much a group thing, them as a family with the poker at the end and everything, and it tied in things from the very first episode. Voyager's was a very interesting story (if I close my eyes at the Chakotay/Seven and Torres/Paris bits). (I haven't seen the TOS or DS9 finales as I've seen very little of those two shows.) "These are the Voyages. . ." was way too much about Riker.

And when even the actors, even the guest stars are complaining about the writing, you know something's wrong. I remember reading about Jolene Blalock (who, by the way, I was looking at and have decided that she has one of the best butts on TV. Hell, she's got one of the best bodies on TV.) saying that she hated the part where she had to say that at one point she (T'Pol) could have thought of nothing else than following rules, and that Jo thought it was unbelievably out of character and really didn't like the finale at all. And Frakes and Sirtis talking about how their presence in the episode was more of an intrusion (though I like how they tied it into the TNG episode) and that it split up the family feeling that was so present in the TNG finale.

But the end, where Riker and Troi walk off the holodeck and it cuts to the outside of the Enterprise 1701-D, and Picard's voice starts in with the "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise" and it cuts to the 1701, and then to the NX-01, all with the different captains continuing the speech, I liked that part. However, even though it was talking about the voyages of Enterprise, I think that it being the last episode of the last show most likely forever (thinking about that always makes me sad), it would have been nice to tie in DS9 and Voyager too somehow.

Anyway, that's my story. Just what I was thinking about. I've got a humongous amount of homework, so I've got to get to sleep so I have a chance of finishing it tomorrow.

I literally just gasped so loudly that I had to look around to make sure I didn't wake anyone up.

Oh. My. God.

( Spoileryish for Stargate in general )

And I had a feeling that this week was episode 7. I can't believe I was asleep. We were going to go watch it (at the gym, the only place I've got access to cable), but my dad couldn't wake me up. Grr. He was right. This one was the Morena one.

More posts, just to annoy people and because I'm not really tired.

I'm afraid I'm getting sick again. I've got a sore throat. I just got over a cold last week, and I was pretty sure it was all the way gone as I had no symptoms all this week, but now I'm not feeling so good.

On my Star Trek RPG (on which I happen to be on the slowest ship ever) I posted something rather explicitly hinting for a certain character to jump in so maybe I could actually do some roleplaying with someone besides myself, and he didn't catch the signal. I reposted it, adding an out of character note saying that if he wanted to, he could jump in to get me started, and he responded that he figured that was what I wanted him to do, "but I don't jump through hoops". Interacting with someone on an RPG isn't jumping through hoops, it's playing the freaking game! Especially because my character works under his (though from what I've seen I'm a better RPer, I had to start again at Ensign when I rejoined, three ranks and several CMO positions below where I was when I left) he should be making an effort to get me into the game, even if only so he can delegate things to me for when the medical parts of the sim. If when I was CMO I were to be as (for lack of a better word) uncooperative as that, I think my COs would have been very displeased.

The whole ship doesn't seem to be very friendly. I sent emails to both the CMO (the character I'm referring to) and the CO introducing myself and I got short and very uninformative answers. I just don't really feel welcome.

Lisa Edelstein's dress at the EW Magazine 4th Annual Pre-Emmy Party is so beautiful. I don't like her actual Emmy one as much.

That's my story.
