Start with series 3, that's where it was up to speed and you don't miss much

That could be said of a lot of things ... a great concept let down by lazy writing and poor casting. Yet these things get money thrown at them - great effects, lighting, locations, makeup, etc etc

Well, I'm glad it wasn't just me, lol ... I figured some people must have enjoyed it otherwise they'd have left it at one season!

Yeah, that was just what the organisers called it I guess.

I'm aware of that now, but at the time didn't know anything about it ... it was being done in a community space where there was a bar and plenty of space for activities.

Not an obsession, I tuned out of watching Voyager when it was first on TV and I'm partway through a complete watch now ... she's simply my favorite character from the show, and given that Star Trek fans have a pleasant and active community here I thought it was a good choice. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Being interpreted as smug was not my intention, I thought I was simply stating my opinion with equal force to the poster above. How should I have responded?

Nice photo!

Also, I do love the Delta (and the Ebre in general, travelled a lot of it's length this year up in Aragón)

Best thing would be to go to a Spanish speaking country for a holiday, once you've been forced to use it on strangers you'll loose your language anxiety and it gets much easier (I live in Spain and work in Spanish, I'm not very good, but also no longer worried about muddling through).

Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don't translate well between variants of English ... I hardly ever see "station wagons" (estate cars?) here, whereas there's lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

I never said you should emulate my life, what I said is that taking up less space would be good for the planet ... you get limited time on this rock, it's going to be a lot more limited for your kids if the food chain collapses.

Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me ... Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though

That is a most excellent pun. Thank you.
