Lileks talks about Enterprise and defends himself against people who like Buffy and yet somehow think fans of other shows are bigger geeks. Plus, some other interesting nerdy thoughts.
I did watch The Star Track the other night for the first time in a while, because I heard they were shaking things up with "ripped from the headlines" stuff. Earth gets attacked by Space Terrorists, the Quantum Leap guy has to go out and kick their ass Kirk-style, etc. And then I was going to write something really deep and meaningful about it. But after I came up with pretending to think the new bad guys are called not the Xindi but the Xlam (say it out loud), I had nothin'.
Although I do hope that just because the Spock chick is quitting the Vulcan Logic Police or whatever it is, I hope that doesn't mean she has to start wearing a bulky blue jumpsuit like everybody else. In fact, it should be that, that, you know, the sausage casing she wears is actually some sort of Vulcan badge of office or something? And it would be dishonorable to keep wearing it? But she can't put on the other uniform because she's not in Starfleet or whatever? So she has to pad around in an Enterprise bath towel. That might make me watch next year.
