Bad: *cough*cough*hack*WHEEEEZE wheeze wheeze wheeze--* I can't breathe entirely well, and I'm consequently not feeling quite chipper.

Good: Thus, I am taking a sick day.

Bad: Thus, I am taking a sick day.

Good: Spike TV re-runs DS9 in the middle of the day??

Bad: Feh. "Meridian". Ah well. I do suppose it could have been much worse.

Good: My labcoat has just arrived in the mail. ^_^ *would dance, except that dancing requires breathing*

Ugly: The couch, unfortunately, is not at all accomodating to long-term holing-up upon it. Ugh, my back... *hobbles off*

Completely unrelated to any of that: Hee. Poor Beckett's-new-turtles, alas!

That's all I thought of Enterprise when I tried to watch it. Meh.

Heh. Me too. I couldn't get into it. The characters all seemed relatively...dull. Lacking the sort of inner fire that showed up in previous Trek incarnations. I don't know - maybe it's just time for the franchise to take a few years' break, refresh itself and start again in another five, ten years or so. *shrug* Or take DS9 to the big screen.

And yeah, I don't have the same starry-eyed view of Wesley as I used to, but I certainly don't find him intolerable and I do think fandom and the world at large are far too harsh on the kid. It's not his fault he's uber-smart and everyone else isn't. He needs a slogan like the old Pantene commercials, perhaps - "Don't hate me because I'm gifted." ^_^

The series is definitely best served by taking a long break. And yes, while we're at it, WHERE are the DS9 movies? I know they just finished wringing the last possible drop of story from TNG, which I will happily agree is the golden age of Trek, but who ISN'T up for some DS9 movie joy? I barely know anything about the series and I'D go see a DS9 movie.
