It helps a lot! Thanks.
Reading thru the first couple episode synopsis hearkened me back to the day
when I could debate Star Trek eps. with the best of 'em--wow that's alotta
info! Camera positions and all!
These types of things always bring me back to 'Comic Book Store Guy' on the
Simpsons...
(walking down the road, talking to himself whilst perusing latest comic book)
"Aquaman cannot marry Wonder Woman! That's absurd!..." (pause while he sees
ICBM racing down the road, "... Oh... I've wasted my life..." *KaBoom!!*
Not that I was a hard core Star Trek freak once upon a time--I can still
laugh at that particular fetish of mine.
