Amazing. This is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it. It took us 15 years and 3 supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth. Look how small it is!
The "EXPRESSION", on "RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON"'s FACE at, the MacGyver, reference, is just, "PRICELESS"!!!

No, but I outrank you on LENGTH of service and roguishness of HAIR.

Besides, everyone seems to be doing it.

And, er, to answer the question..."BUFFY the VAMPIRE SLAYER".

Although that is FUDGING the catagory slightly.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yup. There's another Colonel named O'Neil, but he has no sense of humor at all. And was played by a completely different actor.

I have to say Deep Space Nine is my all time favorite.
The character interaction is superb, the premise is already established by the series that came before it so there's none of the required (and tiresome) explanations of why things like transporters work and the story can get really get moving.
An ongoing story arc was something new to Trek and it worked very well.
Mainly though, I loved that it gave all the actors a chance to add personality to their characters and the writers had a real respect for the history of the franchise.

Runner up is Farscape. It's fresh, full on non-humanoid aliens (a leap from what we'd seen prior) and the characters were as real and believable as any I'd seen.
Plus, the show was hilarious at times when John used sci-fi refrences to explain a situation.
I recall one episode where Aruen thought Yoda was a real wise man from earth....

Kurt Russle played a more macho version in the movie. I think the Anderson version is better.

Best scene ever was him walking around on the Scarran negotiating table, explaining how for one day only there's a blue light special in aisle three! "My wormhole technology and a free set of steak-knives for all the tea in China, and anything else you can imagine to pay me. Welcome to my cold war. Now what am I bid for all the powers of the universe?"

It's something John yells when he FINALLY realizes that since the "Scorpious clone" is in his head, he can kick his ass and shut him up anytime he wants to.
I recall, he punched Scorpy about twenty feet up into the air and into an open dumpster before yelling it.


Awwww...heck: it's a Farscape thing.
You should watch it if you havent.

Actually, it's a wrestling reference.

Or possibly a reference to other things. I imagine that phrase to be fairly commonplace. Still, wrestling would seem to be the obvious place.

Nice to SEE that folks on here have a SENSE of HUMOUR!!! [Wink]

Quite like bits of "FARSCAPE"(probably due to it being an Aussie clone of "B7")!!! [Razz]

It's a clone of B7 because they are prisoners that are fleeing an oppress...uh...they're all rebels trying to overthrow the galactic govern...no....um...

It's just easier to call you an idiot.


Unless that was an attempt at humor: then it was just a lame joke and youre off the hook...kinda.
