That's the NG episode where Saul Rubinek (?) plays a collector who fakes Data's destruction in order to kidnap him and add him to his collection. Geordi figures out what happened and leads the Enterprise to Data, beaming him up just before Data shoots the collector (in order to save other lives). George

Well, that's swell; but how about answering it? Anyone??! George

Well done!!! :eusa_clap: George

My DSL connection at home is on the blink and won't be fixed until Saturday. If you think you know it, answer and post another. George

My DSL connection at home is on the blink and won't be fixed until Saturday. I'm going to answer this myself and then leave it open to anyone. Robert Louis Stevenson. The first quotes were from Treasure Island. The longer quote is from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. George

My DSL connection at home is on the blink and won't be fixed until Saturday. If you think you know it, answer and go ahead with another one. George

If Raf deigns to respond, and if perchance I was correct, someone else may take my turn. My DSL connection at home is on the blink and won't be fixed until Saturday. George

IMHO, If you're divorced once, it may not have been your fault. If you're divorced twice, it's an even bet that it's your (or largely your) fault. If you're divorced three or more times, it's your fault, if for no other reason than your inability to pick a worthwhile spouse. George

FINALLY!!!! "The Deadly Years." One of the few OS episodes where a woman actually dies. Kirk, McCoy, Spock, Chekov, Scotty, and Lt. Galway beam down to a planet where people have apparently aged very rapidly. Chekov gets spooked by seeing a dead person. After beaming back up, all the party except Chekov age rapidly; the first sign is Kirk forgetting that the Romulans have broken Code 2. Soon, they're all old, and Lt. Galway dies. Commodore Stocker, on board, asks Spock to take command; when Spock declines, Stocker takes command and orders the Enterprise to take a direct route to Starbase 10, running right through the Romulan Neutral Zone. They are, of course, immediately surrounded. McCoy finally figures out that Chekov's fear caused an adrenaline rush which prevented his becoming afflicted with radiation poisoning and orders adrenaline shots for everyone, with a double shot for Spock. Kirk gets back and orders a message to be sent Code 2, knowing that the Romulans will intercept it. He pulls a "Corbomite Maneuver," and zips away when the Romulans withdraw. Engage, Mr. Steve!!

A recent, short-lived show: two pics, need a character name George

Same author, different work: All at once, I saw two figures: one a little man who was stumping along eastward at a good walk, and the other a girl of maybe eight or ten who was running as hard as she was able down a cross street. Well, sir, the two ran into one another naturally enough at the corner; and then came the horrible part of the thing; for the man trampled calmly over the child's body and left her screaming on the ground. It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. It wasn't like a man; it was like some damned Juggernaut. I gave a few halloa, took to my heels, collared my gentleman, and brought him back to where there was already quite a group about the screaming child. He was perfectly cool and made no resistance, but gave me one look, so ugly that it brought out the sweat on me like running. The people who had turned out were the girl's own family; and pretty soon, the doctor, for whom she had been sent put in his appearance. Well, the child was not much the worse, more frightened, according to the Sawbones; and there you might have supposed would be an end to it. But there was one curious circumstance. I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. George

Lassie :) George

These ideas were pounded on by LCM, though he might have gotten the idea from VPW. Actually, Loy had no problem with investing in a company, it was just the random, "buy this-sell this-buy this-sell this" speculation that he considered gambling. I'm not so sure I disagree. George

"LA Sea"? :blink: George

Sorry. The wife watches the Food Network all day long. I don't. ;) George

Yep. The Norelco Santa commercial. There were a lot of cute commercials back then. What was the one where there was a winter forest scene, birds and fawns gleeful, when a man comes up to a tree with a saw? Everything stops, and he starts playing "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" on the saw? George

Let me guess. You've all PM'ed each other, deciding to tease me by not answering one of the easiest episodes to get. George

Hellooo Baaaby! George

Come on guys, this is GETTING OLD! George

With no Raf post, I'll do another: four pics, need a name George

LA Beach? LA Surf? LA Wave? I don't know. George

"Hello, Goodbye" by the Beatles. George

How fortunate that I use IE 6! George

I learned Latin (and Greek) before I got involved with TWI. Happy Birthday. George
