Questions? Comments? Smart Remarks?

Another snooze of a day here at work. After coming back to work yesterday there was one mundane voicemail, and nothing of import in my email.

My last request for input/questions/conversation got such wonderful responses, I thought I would ask again today.

Anyone out there care to throw a conversational scrap my way?

In watching the Original Series anew over the past nine months or so, I've been struck by how different the original Klingons are from Worf and his brethren. They come across as desperate hunter-gatherers who've exhausted their own planet's resources and been forced to push outward. They have no philosophy except that the universe is a hostile place and one must wring what one requires from its grasp. They're grubby and lowbrow and I really like them better than all that highbrow pseudo-samurai nonsense one gets in Next Gen and after.

Can't say I'm all that enamored of the OS Klingons. They were simplistic and a tad stupid and I don't see how they would have managed to actually form an empire.

Now Klingons 2.0 and up are my cup of blood wine. I relate well to their code of honor and love of the glory of battle. I also see the beauty in their attempt to triumph over their lower selves by living up to the high ideals of their culture. Many fail. But those who rise up to meet the challenge laid before them are .... well, they're hot baby. And I want one. ;)

Honor makes me itch. *g* In real life honor usually means that somebody else gets bitched up so *your* honor can be satisfied. I distrust all that sort of thing. Actually, give me the sneaky but well-groomed and well-dressed Romulans (especially in Diane Duane's Rihannsu version).

Diane Duane rocks.

Amen! Ael (I can never remember the rest of her name) is one of my favorite heroines!

The Wounded Sky is marvelous, and I loved Doctor's Orders.
