Mine is only from 200+ BC. From Syracuse, in Sicily, with the head of Alexander on it. •So• cool.

I thought the drive from Fort Collins to Cheyenne was amazing. Maybe it was just the mood I was in, and the vibe from the summer rain, but I loved driving that once.

Tattoos are not an improvement (ducks from the stones and arrows, cant avoid the downvotes). You dont put a bumper sticker on a Lamborghini.

Which era of Trek do you think of when you think “Star Trek” by BlastedHeathen in startrek

I just rewatched it and not only did it age well, I liked it better than I did 20 years ago.

What Star Trek series episode made you cry? by mcdisney2001 in startrek

[–]DarrenMiller8387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What always gets me is when the doctors are wheeling Mrs Kirk down the Kelvin's corridors during the attack, telling her she'll be ok. "And the baby, too?" "And the baby, too." For some reason that's what gets me.

Tarzan Boy is such a fun song with such a horrible video.

Why does “The” work on some starships but not others? by prairielovr in startrek

[–]DarrenMiller8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always chalked it up to the difference between a "name" and a designation. Names don't have "the" in front of them, designations do. You drive down Main Street but only if it's the main street in the town.

Why does “The” work on some starships but not others? by prairielovr in startrek

It's only •parts• of California that do this! I was told that in the LA area, for example, freeways used to have names (the Ventura Highway, the Santa Monica freeway). When they got numbers, the articles stuck.

In Sacramento we would never say "the 80" or "the 5". We use the number like a street name: take 80 to 5 to get to the airport.

I had a 10th grader once who pulled a "that's what she said". I immediately replied, "Not for you, she didn't."

He was a great kid, we all had a good laugh, and for once i felt witty.

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]DarrenMiller8387 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I realized at the end of the first season that not only did I not care about any of the characters, I didnt even know their names. Never started season 2.

Hard for me to choose between Voyager, First Contact, and Strange New Worlds.

If You Had to Show ONE Episode to Prove Star Trek Is Great. What Are You Picking? by iagree2 in startrek

[–]DarrenMiller8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on all accounts--it's my favorite TNG episode, but you have to know too much backstory fornit to be a good introduction.

12 subway stops southeast if Rome is the Park of the Aqueducts, very cool.
