Funny - I never caught it before, but in Voyager, B'Elanna wanted to go to Geidi Prime holodeck spa.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Heh heh - Geidi Prime as a spa!

Great inside joke, that!!

I laughed, but that then caused me to cough a lot, on account of the majorly excellent cold I have.

I'm watching that episode now. :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Goddammit, where are the geeks?!

[Clintonista2]

2. DUNE!

Wow I've NEVER heard her say that. What episode?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. It is in the episode "Drive"

In the very beginning, B'Elanna is negotiating with the Doctor for some holodeck time so she and Tom can enjoy some time together, so they can enjoy the "Geidi Prime spa".

:rofl:

4. You'll like your stay here.

OR ELSE WE'LL TAKE YOUR HEART PLUG OUT!

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. And if you have a problem with any of the staff, just take their heart plugs out.

"How was your service tonight, sir? I ... (looking down at dead body and pool of blood) see. I am so sorry. Please, let me get you another server."

5. we haven't started rewatching Voyagers yet

I'm way up on Deep Space Nine, though....

[Clintonista2]

14. No matter what I do, I CANNOT get into DS9

Please tell me it gets better after the first episode...

[tigereye]

15. well, I think it's the best ensemble piece, Avery Brooks is the best captain

and the acting and plot development are excellent - almost Shakespearean.

Some of the characters - Garak, Quark, Gul Dukat, Jadzea, Kira, Odo - are so wonderfullly complex and become more fully realized as the seasons go by. It's even better than when I watched em the first time. It's cool that it's not on a starship - and I think that once you get past the exposition of DS( itself and expand their horizons a bit - it gets better and better. It's not Babylon 5, but it's as close as a ST series can get, IMO.

Garak and Dukat seem right out of Shakespeare in their devious complexities!

6. I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about!

:shrug:

[Orsino]

9. I had to check, too.

I'm a nerd, but not a Dune nerd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geidi_Prime

8. Man, that one went right past me when I saw that episode!

Nice catch! :rofl:

[Swede]

10. The Holo-Shed's on the fritz again! The characters turned real!

Damn. The last time that happened I got slapped with three paternity suits.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Feyd, lovely Feyd.... n/t

[ThomCat]

13. Wow. I had forgoten how beautiful Sting was.

:blush:

[Dr. Strange]

12. The spas on Geidi Prime are quite nice...

or, as the Baron refers to them, the "pain amplifiers."

[no name no slogan]

16. Heh! I'm rereading DUNE right now!

I also own the SciFi Channel miniseries and just got done watching that.

Frank Herbert is a freaking genius. Calling DUNE a sci-fi book is like calling "The Lord of the Rings" a story about elves.
