Allegedly it was Mark Dakins' sister that first coined the term 2 of 9; my wife and daughters thought it was pretty funny, and it stuck. And yeah, I think she's the only person in Starfleet to be issued high heels and a cat-suit that was spray-painted on her... :o) I'm actually an equal opportunity Trek fan; I confess I've enjoyed every one of the various spinoffs, including Enterprise; the odd relationship between Tripp and T'Pal was getting kinda fun before they pulled the plug on the show, darn it. And what made the original series so good was the writing; many big name, mainstream SF writers contributed. Capt. Kirk has certainly lost some of his lustre over the years... anyone remember T. J. Hooker? :-o Probably my least favorite Trek was DS9, and in fact I started to lose interest toward the end, and missed the last season, which, I'm told, ended up being the best part of the show, so one of these days I'll have to go back and watch them over again. I'm hoping they spin up another Trek series one of these days... I'm told by serveral people that Babylon 5 is good mainstream SciFi, but it's certainly not something you can jump in the middle of and enjoy (at least I couldn't). One of those shows you apparently have to watch from the beginning, in order. And of course Firefly/Serenity was outstanding; very sad that it didn't last longer. --- diveboss@xmission.com wrote: > Rich, you need to collimate those eyes, she's more > like 8 of 10.
