It any good?
I watched 'The Last Legion' with Colin Firth last night. Pretty meh really. Hell, Arthur did a better job connecting Romans to King Arthur then this flick.

I loved how much of a counterbalance she was against the greater ideals of the crew. It was logical to assume, yeah, they probably wouldn't get home; they'd probably die out in the middle of uncharted space, and it was a waste to continue on under the illusion that they wouldn't. They wanted to hold onto their humanity, but she really couldn't comprehend that and would always, without fail, point out how much they were sacrificing to keep it. It was interesting! And she had bewbs, which was doubly interesting. And Ensign (Lieutenant?) Kim, yeah. The first episode I rewatched had him getting owned by those people at war with holograms (photonics). You're right, he was literally incapable of being useful. I think he made a pass at everyone on Voyager short of the captain herself without much success. But Voyager wouldn't have been the same without him. I think Kes was the only member of the crew I wasn't all that attached to, and that pretty much took care of itself. xD Yeah, Harry was still an Ensign at the end of the show. Tells you what a shitty career that character had if he was a freaking Ensign for 7 years. As for Seven... what stood out about her the most character-wise (for me) was how she looked at situations from a more practical standpoint, often challenging the near naivite (sp?) of the crew and Janeway in particular. (I mean COME ON ALREADY! Yes, it's good to look on the bright side, but not at the expense of getting metaphorically pounded in the ass at nearly every turn. If there was one thing that pissed me off about Voyager, it was the whole "we must follow the prime directive" and sunshine and rainbows bullshit.) Plus the way that little girl (can't remmy her name and I'm not going onto Memory Alpha this time of night just to find a stinking name) looked up to Seven as an elder sister was a good bit of character development. Sorry for the mini rant in the middle of this post, but I had to get it out of my system. xD

Voyager does suck a lot of the time, hell look at Neelix.
DS9 on the other hand, wow!

I'd rather deal with a Talaxian than a Ferengi. Hell, at least the Talaxian will stick around long enough to be cannon fodder if needed.

I don't like DS9.
I'm no Star Trek aficionado, but I know that I don't like DS9 one bit. Every character is dull, flat, dull, flat and dull. One of them is so dull he doesn't even bother to have a face. Another one is played by an overacting child with a big prosthetic head. Another spends every. single. episode making deals in his bar for 'a million bars of gold-pressed latinum' which was pretty funny the first, say four times I heard it. One of them changes actors halfway through and I didn't even notice. One of them has an insultingly posh English accent and spends all 19000 seasons working up the courage to ask the other one out on a date. It's like the worst soap opera you've ever seen, except that it has one story arc per character and there are occasionally space action scenes and some confusing religious subplot, and everyone is wearing the same outfit.

I'm watching, or at least trying to watch, well technically I'm listening, to Chris-chan's infamous Father Call. It's both hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
In the short span of two hours, Chris manages to compare lifting a doghouse to losing your mother in 9/11, dreaming of having a kid to being a Biblical prophet and losing the aforementioned dog to seeing a close friend die in Desert Storm.
Trolling at it's finest.

Oh man, the father call. That was probably one of my favorite moments of the saga. It's like a movie length awesomeness that rivals the Boondock Saints or Saving Private Ryan in terms of general modern "epic"ness.

It basically is "Chris-chan: The Movie" or "Chris-chan: The Feature Length Radio Play"! It's remarkable. Kacey's "father" just completely dismantles Chris, going through every aspect of what makes him such a loser in great detail. It really should have been Chris-chan's lowest point, but instead of hitting rock bottom, he managed to come away from it learning nothing, even managing to sink to deeper depths of failure.

Okay, so now I've moved onto Father Call's shorter, darker sequel:
Whereas Father Call was a fully justified verbal beatdown that coined great CWCisms every other line, this is probably the closest I've come to feeling sympathy for Chris.
Kacey's clearly twisting the truth, essentially turning something Chris' Mary-Sue character did into something Chris wants to do. And he's too stupid to point out the distinction between real life and Sonichu, if he's even aware of it
It's almost unbearable until Liquid Chris shows up (I love that guy.)
I need to cheer myself up with this:
