It's like the 27th February all over again! And really, who wants to go back to that time, eh? Men walked around naked, cats ate dogs, and the great floods were upon us, causing a massive shortage in clean towels.

Was that before or after Timelord joined and the "Star Trek sucks threads" began to pop up here em masse?

Talk about whether he owned the rights to it in some ways, or something like that?
I don't know about that case, but that's possible. When I pitched some scripts to TNG in 1989, my agent told me that I was more likely than not to sell a script that didn't include characters or elements created for another episode, because the writer of the episode will have to get paid and possibly some credit.

Ah. The Anticansssss and the Ssssselay. (at least that's what they sounded like when they spoke!) Two whole races of Cobra Commanders. Man they sucked. TNG would never survive today with shows like that in it's first season.
Thanks for the correction. I'd never want to remember these losers on my own. Say what you will about Enterprise: the plots are certainly no worse than TNG's first few seasons. Plus: No Betazoid "feelings of great joy". And they have a dog!

ACtually didnt we see some female-feline dancer/stripper-type alien in ST5:TFF?? She was in the bar at Paradise City, attacked Kirk and Spock and got thrown in a fish tank or something?

Yes, we did. Felinoids in Star Trek are a legion. Here's a partial list (canonically unconfirmed names in quotation marks):
-animated "Caitian" Lt. M'Ress from TAS -animated Kzinti from TAS "Slaver Weapon" -animated Vedalan from TAS "The Jihad" -live-action "Caitians" from ST4 -live-action unknown from ST5
"Caitians" have catlike faces, hands and feet, two side-by-side breasts (or at least two visible ones, on the single female we saw, but those uniforms leave little to imagination) and a long, prehensile tail. Live-action versions seemed to be males, and preferred their fur long and ragged. All three specimen witnessed were man-sized.
Kzinti males have tigerlike, fanged faces but with winglike ears, and are larger than Homo sapiens, with heavily built upper torsos. Females are said to be nonsentient and were not seen.
Vedalans seem like generic cats although with large outer ears that have a somewhat humanlike mid-structure. And the one individual we saw had a really painful-looking slouch. Man-sized, it seems.
The unknown cat-dancer from ST5 had three breasts side by side, and was somewhat more heavily built than M'Ress, with more complex and more handlike paws and (I'm guessing) more humanlike legs if not feet. Could have been a sturdy Caitian, too, or a female Kzin. Anybody have good pics?

Are people in this thread caught in some kind of weird temporal anomaly where they make comments that have already been made earlier on in the thread?
The Tzenkethi were going to be the Kzinti. Yes. And Tholians look a bit funny.

I have a piece of shit modem too, and I am really cool. If I can find time to do it, so can you, who are far more worthless and pathetic than me.
