Fate, I believe that Keith once posted a statement that R__k B____n had it in for Avery Brooks in the worst way, even tried to run him off the show by trying to convince Jonathon Frakes to join the DS9 cast as Tom Riker, but Frakes and Brooks hit it off big time, and Frakes was too much of a man to blindside him. Barring that, I figure that B____n crafted the ending of the show to stick it to Brooks one last time, to say nothing of Paramount's seeming unwillingness to commit to a DS9 movie to at least sum up that plot line (Sisko's exit without saying goodbye to Jake, which would've been my fourth time cursing at my TV, had I not been ill when I finally saw the finale in '05. (The station that ran DS9 in syndication *really* screwed the pooch, airing the wrong show three times in a row, if memory serves.))
I doff my hat to you as well, for your inability to subject your computer to such filth as typing That Word. As for the Atlantis ending, six words. This is Skiffy we're talking about. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] FW: Intro Lavender, Milledgeville, GA Date : Sun, 4 Jan 2009 10:46:05 -0800 (PST) From : Augustus Augustus <jazzynupe_...@yahoo.com> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com U know Keith, the problem that I have always had with Trek was the awful way they ended DS9. first in the time travel vain, i really enjoyed the ep with Tony Todd playing an aged and dying Jake Sisko trying 2 reunite his old friends and save his father from an incident with the wrap core. it was a really GREAT ep. but then 2 end the series with Ben being lost............no one else ended like that! Enterpirse ended (and i think too soon) with them signing a pack with other planets that would morph into the UFP - but in that last season when they were teasing us with the empire and we got a chance 2 see the Constellation Class Defiant. i wished they would have followed that a little more. they could have did the Xindi in the previous season in a half season instead of the whole season. TNG ends with Picard and crew stopping the rift in 'All Good Things' and the senior crew sitting around a table playing poker. V (cannot bring my fingers 2 type the whole word) ended with them getting back 2 the Alpha Quadrant. But DS9 is ended with the Emissary lost! that is just so wrong. if i were a conspiracy theorist i would say that because Ben was black they left him out 2 dry, but i am not going 2 go there. i had looked 4 a DS0 either TV movie, theatrical release, or a straight 2 DVD movie (much like what they did with Stargate SG-1) about DS9 to wrap up the series. getting off on a tanget right quick if u all do not mind. how can they kill Stargate Atlantis next week with only a one hour episode as a series finale? the preview looks good, but a one hour show?

I thought it was odd too: how did they reach him in whatever spacetime he was exploring to say "Come to a wedding"? Do you remember the DS9 ep when Worf gets caught up in time travel? It had something to do with his son Alexander speaking of a future in which Worf is assassinated, I believe. Doesn't the adult Alexander come back in time to warn Worf? Whatever, remember there as a comment about Alexander meeting a man in a bar or something, who said he wanted to help by initiating the time travel. They never did explain *who* that man was or why he cared. I always assumed it had to be an adult Wesley Crusher, fully in charge of his spacetime abilities. But now I wonder if it was Sisko, seeing as his Prophet inheritance gives him spacetime powers as well... ------------ -- Original message ------------ --------- - From: Augustus Augustus > i totally agree with the assessment of young mr. crusher. genius he may be, > but > even being a genius has 2 give away sometimes with experience and training. > the > ep where he got his field promotion 2 ensign? riker and troi's mom (the late > great majel) are kidnapped by the ferengi and it is wesley who recognizes the > pattern in the static. good ep in that it was kool seeing wes come on the > bridge in his uniform, but it was time 2 write him off the show. he was > doing > too much. i also noticed in STTNG: Nemesis that he did not have a speaking > role, and he was in his dress whites. guess he got tired of 'traveling'? > > Dr. Fate > > --- On Sat, 1/3/09, KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net wrote: > From: KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net > Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] FW: Intro Lavender, Milledgeville, GA > To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com > Date: Saturday, January 3, 2009, 2:19 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > Welcome!
