Archer: What's this ship doing? It looks like its shadowing this other one?
Daniels: Yes, well that's kind of an embarassing story really. Although that's a 22nd century ship, it's pathetically trying to retrace the former adventures of a 23rd century vessel.
Archer: Well how is that even possible? I mean if it hasn't happened yet... how can the ship in the present be--

Daniels: And here is when Lee finally judges this Capcom in the year 2089. Unfortunately, many of its former inhabitants are too old or too dead to care.

There's a moral here, about messing with the timeline: The359 would have won, but he somehow went back in time and changed his name to 359mph, so he lost. An honourable mention goes to him, anyway. 8)
There was an excellent range of responses here, and picking a winner wan't easy. And once I had picked a winner, choosing a runner-up wasn't any easier.
The winner is, naturally, Krenim, our master of the temporal, for the "terrible deaths" one - though his particular claim to fame is diminished when you read this exchange:
quote:Krenim 18/03/02 02:20 Ooh... Just be sure not to let the Temporal CapCom sit around for months without being judged.
Lee Kelly 18/03/02 02:21 I judged that two weeks ago. It's a Temporal CapCom, remember?
Krenim 18/03/02 02:21 Uh... *Brain explodes*
Lee Kelly 18/03/02 02:22 And you call yourself after a time-travel aware race. Why, even your real-life Trek namesake could figure that one out. 8)
The runner-up is Tahna Los, who's somehow gotten this idea that I take a long time to judge these things. Nonsense! 8)

Daniels: Welcome to the Plane' arium. If you come later tonight, we'll have laser Kenny G and laser Rick James.
Archer: Isn't it Planetarium?
Daniels: I have a speech impediment which prevents me from saying the "T" in Plane' arium.
Archer: Oh.
Daniels: Now watch the constellations. You love the Plane' arium. To be without the Plane' arium gives you great pain. You will do anything for the Plane' arium.
