Well it was RPG night and we finally made it. For the first time since before Christmas we managed to get together without one of us cancelling due to illness. Hell we even managed to get a Christmas drink in there as well. In fact the only RPGing done was to decide that the Dr. Who game, that we got as far as rolling characters for, was going to be scrapped in favour of “All for One: Regime Diabolique”. Who knows we might even get past character generation on this one.
So as we nibbled and drank, the conversation turned to more important matters... an insightful discussion about the merit of Next Gen over DS9 . Topics ranged from why Picard was the best Captain, how the characters were better written, how having someone with acting skills made the rest of the cast up their game. It was agreed that the Ferengi were the best characters in DS9, that Ezri Dax was no match for Jadzia Dax and that the only thing that saved her character was that she was cute, and there was that hot scene with her and bad Kira . Oh it was also agreed that it was nice to see such a loving and warm father son dynamic being portrayed by Sisko and his son.
The Doctor out of Voyager was voted the best Pinocchio character and the least annoying. Seven of Nine and Jadzia were voted the two you would most want to have a threesome with and that lead to a discussion about how much padding was in their costumes.... which lead to a discussion about the effect of the beauty myth on this generation... Seriously this is important stuff... it must be, it filled nearly two hours and some of it was hotly debated.
Personally one is going to do them a favour and lend them Bab5 because they need to see what really good Sci-Fi can look like...

Precisely! (You didn't say this just for my benefit, did you? :p)
There is only one in this case and it is Bab5... it still has some of the best characters and story lines ever.
Obviously, I agree. I still, to this day, haven't seen a better science fiction show (about space exploration as the supposed main theme--to note--although, for me personally, the cosmos was just a stage for completely different things that were much more important).
I am DM'ing a post apocalyptic thing. I had fun making howling sounds of my made up mob of Yeti's defending their lair.
Love the conversations at table. Check out the D&D version of the show call "Community?"
Yep, it was the exploration of the characters that made that show soooo damn good.
@xantu we watched that yesterday... He was sitting laughing and one turned and said you've played with people like this haven't you and He went oh yeah. LOL
N cannot refer to 7 of 9 without his voice dropping to a slight growl of appreciation.
