Oh, like everyone didn't primarily use the Holosuites for that!

Hmm. Good point. I loved the time the two of them got ripsnorting drunk and were singing "Jerusalem".

Oh, sorry. You meant singing. I was actually thinking about something else.

[clears throat]

[slinks off in shame]

Aw, don't slink off, Cleome. We don't know what happened immediately before they started singing.

Not a Star Trek fan, so... were there any openly gay characters in the franchise? Or are we just throwing around baseless innuendo again?

Innuendo is one of Queen's best albums.

Queen has a lot of song that are good for hooking up to.

"You're My Best Friend" is a favorite of mine.

To answer Ibby's question, there haven't been any characters in Trek who were openly gay, as such, but there were a lot of characters about whom there was innuendo. One DS9 character, Jadzia Dax, was of a joined species in which a humanoid host had a genderless wormlike creature inside. The creature was very long- lived and had had male and female hosts. Jadzia was mainly hetero, but occasionally would be shown with an old flame of her previous (male) hosts'.

Terry Farrell, who played Jadzia, was so good-looking she even looked good with her hair pulled back and with spots painted around her hairline.

True enough. Terry Farrell's next role was on Becker with Ted Danson who is married to Mary Steenbergen whose ex-husband is Malcolm McDowell whose nephew is Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir on DS9).

Terry Farrell now lives in Hershey, PA.

I was born near Philadelphia, PA.

I've only been to Pennsylvania a few times. I went to a conference in Philadelphia years ago. It was a pretty neat city. It was in January, so I bought a wool scarf (which I still have) at the-then Lord and Taylor store (now Macy's) which had originally been Wanamaker's. This store has a huge pipe organ in it on which short concerts are played twice daily.

In one of the first comic books I ever read, the Disney ducks get trapped inside the pipes of a gigantic pipe organ, and they float up and down as the villain plays the organ.

The 24 hour rule of this thread is a good one. Eventually, I want to see a 3 hour version or something equally as crazy!

I can see the headline already:

"Donald Duck, Potential Thread-Killer!"

"If you don't like duck, you're rather stuck!"

"So sorry, duck's off!"

I'm thinking that I might splurge on Xmas and order us some Peking Duck. That is, if my job lasts through years' end. I love duck and Chinese food, but have never tried Peking Duck.

I can't remember what movie we saw last Christmas Day, but it definitely wasn't a "Christmas Movie."

I'm expecting the DVD of "Leviathan*" as a Christmas gift -- definitely NOT a Christmas movie.


*An underwater hybrid of Alien and The Thing that rises above its derivative roots thanks to its gloriously glossy over-production. They don't make 'em like they used to...oh, 1989, how I miss you.

My all-time favorite Christmas movie is The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and (the Patron Saint of the Miscasting Classics Thread) David Niven.

On the other hand, the less said about that horrific remake from the '90s with Whiney Houston, the better.

At some point, Victor/Victoria became my go-to movie for Christmas Eve viewing. But my cassette of it is probably shot, so no go this year.

Maybe I can unearth that copy of CT's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians if I start looking now...

This is always a good time of year to view Meet John Doe!
