Thanks Sad, now its working. I must have made a typo or something.
Don’t worry I wasn’t planning on puttign up anything yet, just wanted to take a quick look at the controls.
One last unimportant thing; In the SG-1 forum it has moderator under my name, but every where else it has me down as Commited Sadgeezer. Is this normal?

And it’s about Stargate… YIPPEE!!!
OK, so someone inform me the last episode shown in America and the UK – because I’ll bet that we here in Australia are WAY behind, as usual. Try not to give away too many plot details. We recently saw Apophis die (again), the SG1 get transported 10,000 (ish) light years away with Sam’s dad, and Teal’c reverting to a loyal servant of Apophis. Then Teal’c’s teacher performed some ritual and brought his memory back… ring any bells?
Hopefully I’m not too far behind!
I think I saw that one last season. The last episode that was shown on network tv was “The Other Side”. It featured DS9’s Rene Ambjoinis(?), screw I’m never attempting to spell that again. It was about SG-1 visitign a planet were a great civil war is occuring. I won’t say much else without spoiling it for you.
Another episode may have been shown this apst weekend, but it wasn’t show in the Philadelphia area, I doubt it was shone in others seeign as it was a major holiday weekend in the states.quote:

I don’t know, we heard Prince say “I’m good with butterflies” and who saw that one coming, before he mention his butterfly collection?
But all the others were hysterical.

I wasn’t so nice abou that ep. Vlad quick death was too unconvincing, they spent a handful of episodes building her up then killing her off, no way!
I give it a meager 21,068 out of 10quote:

Uh, no. Beta Centauri is about 500 light years away from our Sun. Proxima Centauri orbits Alpha Centauri A and B, which are 4.4 light years from here. None of the stars in the Alpha Centauri System are white dwarfs (there are two yellow stars and one red, I believe).
I think you’re confused with Sirius B, the white dwarf that orbits Sirius A in the Alpha Canis Majoris System.
Well whatever the stars inthe nearest star system are called, I know one is a white dwarf because it was only detected by novae. Hence why we can’t see the other, unless durign a nova.

I go to the University of New Mexico. It can’t be any worse then shear choas its administration enforces. I mean its lack of clerical skills. They need some people from the East Coast out here to show them how to do things. Simple things like mailing out billings statements before the money is due, and generally knowing what the other hand is doing.quote:

But, I’ve always liked Scott Bakula
7 of 9 and T’Pol(?) is just blatent T&A, I always imagined Vulcans in robes, like in First Contact.
As fro NX-01 looking more advanced then everything but Enterprise E, I’m goign to have to group that with the Klingons looking more alien as TNG and DS9 advanced, escpecilly compared to TOS. I think it has more to do with advances in special effects and set design then “Star Trek Culture”. If TOS had what we have now, it his owuldn’t be an issue. I do like how DS9 explained the crappy Klingon look in there tie in to Trouble with Tribbles. Worf said, “We don’t talk about it with outsiders”.
As for Scott Bakula. I’ve ALWAYS been a fan of his. Everythign from Quantum Leap, his cameos on Murphy Brown to Enterprise
My rant about Enterprise is how it started off well but now it’s boring and seems like continuation of Voyager plot. Minus the delta quadrant thing.

Wolf 359 is 2.35 parsecs from our sun, Sol. This would have made a perfect staging area for an attack on Earth. All the other nearby stars (Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri, Barnard’s Star, Sirius, UV Ceti) would have been heavily defended. The only other star that is less than 3 parsecs away is DM+36 2147. But I’m sure the writers of Star Trek thought that the “Battle of Wolf 359” sounded much more interesting than the “Battle of DM+36 2147”. Besides, Wolf 359 is a RED DWARF star, a worthless burning ember. No one would bother settling it or defending it.(I’ve been working on a 3d starmap of all the stars in “sector 001” for many years now. Currently, I have a model that I built in 3d Studio MAX.)
Don’t forget Beta-Centari which is a white dwarf and sistar star to Proxima-Centari. Ever wonder why the proxima is there?
Wolf may not be a worthless burning ember. At only about 7.7 light years from earth its a perfect target for colonization. It’s a single star system so it can have planets, and it has simular characteristics to Sol, our sun. While no planets have been discovered around it, it hypothesized that earth-like planets may exist there. In LBP Kai mentions the nearest star system is 7 ly away. He may have been refering to Wolf.

Thanks Sad, over the next few days I’ll be uploading more Lexx s4 soundbytes, and some preliminary SG-1 stuff. I’ll probably also have to use my ftp account at school since some of the files can get large.
Finally, if I do something wrong and set the server on fire or soemthing

For instance, children may have an instinct to be attracted to small, brightly coloured objects. Well, I suppose that particular instinct is being culled out of the population of Afghanistan.
Ironically every other species knows to stay away from colorful stuff. Like don’t eat or touch bees, poison dart frogs, monarch butterflies etc. Humans repeatidly do stupid **** like try to catch them, and then wonder why we got stung or sick.
As for Bosnia and Afghanistan, we realy should have put bigger universal warnign on some of those bombs. Skull and crossbones usually works. Although I’m a huge fan of Darwanism, I stil belive in helping a fellow human. Too bad only stupid people are breeding.
To my knowledge on Spices 3971(?) those praying mantis things from another universe were immune to assimilation.
It is Wolf 359 and it is a real star system.
As for the queen, I think she was used more for a plotline then having any sort of scientific and/or cultural signifigance in the series.
I’ve always liked Stan more then Kai and Z/Xev.
IMHO, Xev doesn’t do it for me, and I’ve never seen whats so great about dead Kai.

Kai is ‘de-carbonized’, despite the fact that all known organisms are carbon based….the multitude of moons that have huge holes in them…I wouldn’t worry about physics on Lexx
Haven’t we learned that lesson about 40 times from past science questions? Don’t get me wrong, I love discussing the physics of Lexx, but the beans obey the laws of the universe at their own leisure.

Does the LEXX move like a 10 km object?
Not really! Something as massive and large as the lexx would require more then a few particle accelerators in its tail to move straight or even all that fast. Having such a weak propulsion system near its x-y center of gravity wouldn’t apply much of a torque ,for turning, as it would if it were located in other places, like on the body. Plus the propulsion system is to too off center in the x-z or y-z planes, so it will just cause the ship to torque in an upward direction. Other direction thrusters would be required.
Also sicne its so massive it gravitation attraction with other bodies would not be trivial.In the case of fire/water it would have lost its orbit almost immediatly without it firing thrusters at the right time and place! And since the lexx had no fuel or propellant at that time it couldn’t ahve corrected it orbit every few minutes. This wouldn’t be as much a problem around a single planet. But the pull of two near equal gravities in such close proximity would have twisted it orbit into instability.
In a single planet envioment, asteriods, comets and other space junk is routinely captured into orbit. Just look at Mars’ two “moons”. They were probably once space junk from the asteriod belt.Lexx would be so massive that it would attaract smaller bodies to it such as artifical satillites and space rocks. I imagin eit would be bombarded with crap regurarly. It’s massive size would also cause a tiny wobble in other plantes, moons, stars etc. It may even affect tides on a planet!
Finally, this has been mentioned before, but fire/water would have torn each other apart with their gravitational pulls, almost instantly, and have made another new single planet.

I don’t think many lexxians would rather see DefCon then an Uncon. But if you’d like, we can kill to birds with one stone, at UnCon 4.0 and hold a DefCon activity of some sorts, If your serious about doing something like this email me, and we’ll work something out.

I’d hardly consider the lobby scene of The Matrix mildly violent. I sometimes ask the metal detectors/x-ray machine people what they do if someone came in armed to the teeth. They just shrug their shoulders and tell me to move along.
Speaking of nipples and The Matrix if you look at a matrix psoter with Trinity in the leather outfit you can clearly see a nipple. Go figure?

Hold on a second, extended shower scene? As in even longer?!? I felt that shower sequence was totally unnecessary. Disgusting exploitation of the female form. It had nothing to do with the rest of the episode, it was just this long scene that wasted time that could’ve been used for story development. And it went on and on and wouldn’t end. I think it was entirely reasonable to cut it down (they could’ve done a little more snipping while they were at it…
).
Dude you’re just setting yourself up for Aleck.

Yes dolphins were in there. They were also more intelligent than us (big surprise huh)and knew that the Volgons(?) were comign to destroy Earth. They tried to warn us, by doing summer saults and tricks but we thought they were being funny. They gave up on us and fled the earth to avoid destruction.

i don’t have Showtime. but i have been able to see SG-1 in reruns on my fox channel. i think we are into the third season though i am not sure. the last ep that i saw was “The Other Side” with Rene Abdujonis (spelling!)
sorry to hear about Shanks i really liked his portrayal of Daniel Jackson, but it is really great news about scifi showing the reruns! i assume it will be at least mon. thru thur. like they are showing B5 and Farscape.
I’m also confused what season we’re in too. I think were on season 4 and Showtime is in s5. Or maybe showtime just started s5 a few months early. I’m confused!
SG-1 may be in syndication, but I swear only Fox affiliates pick it up. No matter what city I visit, its always on Fox.
I don’t know when they’ll be showing it, your right it will probably be mon-thur, but I hope it doesn’t take b5’s spot. It may go there and B5 will move to 10pm, or SG-1 may just goto 10pm. I doubt they’ll bump B5 with a potential Rangers series coming out. But to be honest I’d like to see Lexx in the 10pm or 11pm slot. “Who watches Star Trek or John Edwards anyway?
Finally I really like The Other Side. Rene is just a great actor. While this episode may have just been a “filler” ep it is one of the episode type in SG-1 that I like best.

I think Erika is signifigant but not the way your thinking baout it. They refer to it as an overheated rock, which millions died for. Maybe Erika is an old flame of one of them who turned out to be a real bitch or something.

I guess you were about as disappointed about hte premise of Bad Carrot as I am.
Enterpise started out looking great, but recently it seems like its just a continuation of Voyager.
I love SG-1. Is there any chance of adding a SG-1 section or thread? I can try to put something together if you’d like.

They don’t say how wide it is, but I’m sure it’s easy to figure out.
I went ot your site and thats the same drawing I have. I think we both must’ve downloaded it at scifi.com about a year ago.

I agree, this would be an improvement and more appropriate for a fan fiction forum.
Yesterday, I started posting messages at SciFi.Com/Lexx about a new moderated fan fiction forum at SadBoard. I have already been accused of being a “troll”, that I hate all fan fiction, and a few other inflamatory comments. These seem to be an attempt to bait me into an arguement, to get me mad, or something. I’m not going to fall into that trap and inadvertantly make more people angry. I will do my best to be polite and diplomatic at all times.
We both share the same political views on ff, and scifi.com. I too beleive fics should have its own seperate forum, whether it be here or on scifi.com. Discussion boards are meant for disscussion!
The reports of new post at scifi.com sparked my interest, so I decided to visit a little more often then normal. What I found was disgusting. Many people wrote rude and unpresedented replies to your polite and informative post. They started new threads about it, and continued the beating of the dead horse. ( I honestly can’t remember who keeps posting this, but I agree with you)
If they say they’re happy there, then let them stay there. If they want to come here and discuss great. It works for me either way. There is no use in arguing with zealots. We should stop this bickering before the rift in Lexxians grows any more!/demi rant
Flamegrape, you went over there peacefully and they came out firing! Irrantional putz’s!
But for the life of me I can’t understand why:- you would volunteer to moderate a fic/OPEC forum? I’ve never seem you write fics and I don’t think your in APEC
- how you would expect them to be positively responisve to an outsider moderating them
/end demi-rant
Also Valdron (A great guy) made a good point in one of his responses. Flamegrape does look suspiciously like Flame Gripe. Not that I’m insinuating aythign negative, but what’d the origins of your nik? I’m just curious.
Finally I’m a pacifist and a non-confrontationalist, but I have a felling many of them will be forced to come here at one point or another.
As the chief organizer of Uncon 4.0 can you guess what board I’ve chosen to use for posting news, and current discussions? Anyone who said scifi.com can put on a dunce cap and stand in the corner. My choice was made a months ago and it had nothing to do with APEC or ff or any sort of he says she says bullsh*t. It rested souly on scifi.com being technologically inferior. SadBoard had numerous (technical and otherwise) advantages and no “poop-up” ads. If unconers want up to date, first hand news, they’ll have to visit here. It should be noted that I will be using the mailing list, but I prefer a moderated board. I get enough mail as is!message edited for spellling

And Fx don’t worry about the Ms Nukey thing. I figured it was just a typo or other innocent mistake.
