"Fin de Siecle"

(Meaning something along the lines of "End of an Era.")

All right, all you French-speakers out there. Help me out here. Shouldn't "End of an Era" be "Fin d'un si�cle" - not "Fin de Si�cle"?

And since it's a French title, shouldn't there be no capital letters except the first letter and a proper name?

Well, in any case, a fancy name won't make up for the show being such crap lately

Ok. Fortunatly for you guys, I'm fluent in french. That title translates to 'End of Century'. BTW- Si�cle is a proper name when used like this.

I see that DeadCujo really wants to live up to his name...

Yes, it doesn't quite translate literally, but the same discussion was had over "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges". There are expressions out there. I'm fluent enough too but I didn't quite get how it translated to "End of an Era".

It's a proper name there? Didn't know that.

Sorry, by lately, I meant the last year. Ever since they killed Jadzia, it's mainly been trash

"Fin de Si�cle" is actually a proper name in that it is some cultural-historical term for the end of the 19th century. Maybe there are some literates out there who can enlighten us on this topic.

This title has since been denied. So, back to your stations!

I would prefer titles like: "The Episode where the Borg kill everyone" or "The Episode where DS9 kicks Dominion butt"

Thus, Sacrifice Of Angels would be "a thousand katanas in the starry night vs. ridge-faced samurai"

More like "Starfleet fights the Dominion!" or something along those lines. Of course, I don't know if they do in fact title Star Trek episodes this way...
