My original formatting had “girlie” in quotes… but I removed it at the last second… It was intended to be a bit of wry (rye?) humour… but one of those things that when you see it “in print”, it just doesn’t work as well as you’d hoped. Alas.

That was the “definition” I was working off of. Since Trek is a television/movie thing really… and the comics are just the TV shows on paper… or something :)

Re: #13: Daoud

I was not, by any stretch, attacking Jim. My entire intent was to suggest that if there is constructive criticism of my columns, whether it be on content or writing style, I definitely welcome comments both on here and directly via email (as noted in #12 above).

New Frontier #2 and Intelligence Gathering #4 out today btw… woot!

Year 4 is a must have for me.

Isn’t that kind of sexist???

In addition to all ship’s doctors being dirty old men, Starfleet Medical requires its practitioners to take Mixology 101. Sometimes a man will tell his bartender things he’d never tell his doctor … or ship’s counselor.

But I couldn’t resisit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(comedy)

Television

In television, the term callback has come to mean a joke or line that refers to a previous episode (or sometimes, in rare cases, movies). Particularly in earlier sitcoms – though even until the early 1990s – callbacks were rare and often frowned upon by networks, because they threaten to isolate a viewer who is new to the series, or who missed episodes. Seinfeld was one of the first sitcoms to regularly use callbacks in its scripts, although on a level which would often be missed or disregarded by viewers. More recently, Arrested Development has become well-known by fans for its regular use of callbacks throughout all of its episodes. Of course, the line between a callback and simple continuity can sometimes be ambiguous. The opening sequence of the season nineteen premiere of The Simpsons callsback to the events in the movie.

Can’t we all just get along?

Great job, Sulfur! I shall have to pick this book up. :)

And is that Sulu dressed as a Klingon? What in Surak’s name…?

I enjoy a lot of comics although I don’t buy monthly “floppies” anymore. I’ll probably check some of these out when they are collected in trade paperback. It’s cool to see Arex again. I wonder it he’s an Edoan, Regulan, Saurian, or Trilexian. They never could keep that straight.
