#764: “Faith of the Heart”

*** Now talking in #suburbansenshi
Topic is -= I really hate network TV executives =-

[05:18] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> MOTHERf[BLEEP]kING s[BLEEP]t --> https://trekweb.com/articles/2005/02/02/4201365f81666.shtml
[05:18] <// J_Daito //> Ahh, looks like that, crap-infected ba[BLEEP]rd Child of Star Trek finally got cancelled, eh?
[05:19] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> You don't understand, Jed... this is f[BLEEP]king ironic.
[05:19] <// J_Daito //> Ironic, how?
[05:19] <// J_Daito //> That show was garbage. What kind of sci-fi that wants to have itself taken seriosuly has a Pop star singing over opening credits.
[05:20] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Dude. even ONE year ago, I would have agreed with you.
[05:21] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> When the show started, it was garbage, totally ignoring the past (which is retarded for a prequel to do) and it mangled continuity like novbody's business
[05:21] * GERMATOID REMEMBERS THE KISSYFACE VULCAN
[05:22] <// J_Daito //> That;s the only reason Ten'ou watched, was because of the hot vulcan chick
[05:22] <// J_Daito //> Exhibit A --> Green blooded hotness
[05:23] * GERMATOID LOVED THE DECONTAMINATION SCENES... RUB THAT GEL ON ME, BABY! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
[05:23] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Man
[05:24] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Man the point is yeah it sucked HARD for three years, but then in the fourth year they brought in a guy who KNEW what he was doing, and he turned it all around, hiring the book authors and everything to retcon their f[BLEEP]kups and create true, interesting, prequel stories.
[05:24] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> I started looking FORWARD to that s[BLEEP]t again every week.
[05:25] <FireFly_9> I hate to say this, but 10 or 15 solid episodes out of over 60 is not a good average. This was coming for some time.
[05:25] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Hey, 'Taru
[05:26] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Yeah but... THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS. They make the show GOOD and then cancel it. I haven't been this EXCITED to see Star Trelk since DS9 went off the air
[05:26] <FireFly_9> The first Star Trek series to be cancelled in 40 years... Pity. But perhaps it will teach them a lesson.
[05:26] <GERMATOID> OH I DON'T THINK SO
[05:27] <GERMATOID> ""THE FACT THAT WE'VE DONE 624 HOURS OF STAR TREK OVER THE LAST 18 YEARS, YOU CAN TAKE ONE TOO MANY TRIPS TO THE WELL. THERE'S A POINT AT WHICH YOU CAN REACH A SENSE OF OVERKILL," BERMAN TELLS THE PAPER."
[05:27] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> s[BLEEP]tHEAD. The show was FINALLY taking new directions.
[05:28] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> That's Berm-o in his Cover your Ass mode.
[05:28] <FireFly_9> What are you reading, Papa?
[05:28] <GERMATOID> --> https://trekweb.com/articles/2005/02/03/4201c230de2cf.shtml
[05:29] <FireFly_9> "As for the show's series finale, Berman reveals little: "It's going to have some surprising twists and turns. It's somewhat of a valentine."
[05:29] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> .... GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
[05:29] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> That idiot is writing the finale, isn't he. God dammit it won't even go out on a HIGH note. a VALENTINE?!
[05:30] <C'est_la_V> And what's wrong with valentines!?
[05:30] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Nothin, Neko. Just annoyed
[05:31] * C'est_la_V has some fun and wierd stuff for you
[05:31] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Like what
[05:32] <C'est_la_V> A Taste, NSFW --> https://www.fuccon.com/graphics/gallery/18.html
[05:32] <// J_Daito //> "When Real Dolls get it on?"
[05:32] <FireFly_9> That is... inherently creepy.
[05:32] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Wasn't that the look on X's face when
[05:33] * C'est_la_V smacks Haruka-san "Look to your own pot, Kettlefish."
[05:33] <GERMATOID> THAT MADE NO SENSE
[05:33] <FireFly_9> Sempai... what is this?
[05:34] <C'est_la_V> "The story of a three-mannequin American family who has moved to Japan, welcome to the bizarre world of OH! Mikey. First shown on late-night Japanese television called "Vermillion Pleasure Night", this show has spawned a complete DVD collection of its own."
[05:34] * C'est_la_V used to watch this all the time, hilarious
[05:35] <C'est_la_V> The characters --> https://www.fuccon.com/cast.html
[05:35] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Oh yeah I remember this. I'm surprised they had the foresight to sub the damn thing into English themselves.
[05:36] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- is still not happy
[05:37] <// J_Daito //> Portraying Gaijin as whacked out Mannequins... I can see how this would appeal.
[05:37] <C'est_la_V> Jedite is Gaijin too :P
[05:37] <// J_Daito //> I KNOW.
[05:38] <// J_Daito //> Luckily my superstar looks led me to be irrestistible to the average Japanese female.
[05:38] <C'est_la_V> Not to me :P
[05:38] <FireFly_9> Nor myself :P
[05:38] <// J_Daito //> Ditz no Senshi and the shut-in with a lamp fetish. Hardly the average Female.
[05:39] <C'est_la_V> What did you say....
[05:39] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Jed, knock it off
[05:39] * =^catablanca^= delurks
[05:42] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Yo, catman
[05:42] <=^catablanca^=> Oh, Miiiina
[05:43] <C'est_la_V> ? ? ?
[05:43] <=^catablanca^=> I found something of yours you wouldn't want X or the others to see
[05:43] <C'est_la_V> Huh
[05:44] * GERMATOID SMELLS SCANDAL
[05:44] <C'est_la_V> What are you talking about??
[05:45] <=^catablanca^=> Let's just say I want Valentine Chocoloates this year. IF I don't get them, (snicker) the cat will be out of the bag.
[05:45] <C'est_la_V> You're fluffing!
[05:45] <FireFly_9> "Bluffing".
[05:46] <=^catablanca^=> I am not! I found something so... disturbing in your private picture collection... Xadium would cry his eyes out if he saw it.
[05:46] <C'est_la_V> It's not those pictures of me with the Three Lights, is it, because those were doctored.
[05:46] * C'est_la_V learned Photoshop [as seen in PGSM] that way
[05:47] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> LOL Neko might be your average girl next door who's a bit lazy, but if you want her to master a hightly complex technical skill either make it game or fuel her popstar ambitions, hehehe
[05:48] * =^catablanca^= hangs his head "I can't believe YOU were the first Soldier of Love and Justice."
[05:48] <C'est_la_V> Oh just KILL THE BEANS already!
[05:48] <=^catablanca^=> You dare me?!
[05:48] <C'est_la_V> Double dog dare!
[05:48] <=^catablanca^=> ...You don't double dog dare a cat.
[05:49] <GERMATOID> ON THE INTERNET, EVERYONE'S A DOG! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[05:49] <C'est_la_V> You got nothing!
[05:49] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Umm... the last time you said that to him he put up that breakfast in bed pic which sorta outed you and X
[05:50] <C'est_la_V> That wasn't the outing :P
[05:50] * C'est_la_V knows none of you knows exactly when that was
[05:50] <C'est_la_V> But I do :P
[05:50] <FireFly_9> No one... cares, actually.
[05:50] <C'est_la_V> Feh
[05:50] <C'est_la_V> Anyway, HE'S GOT NOTHING!
[05:51] <=^catablanca^=> Very well. You force me.
[05:52] <=^catablanca^=> --> I'm sorry if this ruins your marriage, but you forced me [NSFW]
[05:54] * FireFly_9 vomits
[05:54] * C'est_la_V twitches
[05:54] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> He's his own....
[05:55] <// J_Daito //> I am like this all the time, what's the big deal
[05:55] <C'est_la_V> While it's true... Hasselhoff-san was my inpiration to get into Pop... that picture wasn't mine...
[05:55] <=^catablanca^=> Huh?
[05:56] <C'est_la_V> X-chan found it when he was cleaning off Michiru-san's computer. You remember she ran off to Germany and was with him for a long time.
[05:56] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> erk
[05:57] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> i forgot about that
[05:57] <GERMATOID> YOU MEAN YOU REPRESSED IT, HARUKA-KUN
[05:57] <=^catablanca^=> .....shoot.
[05:57] <C'est_la_V> So... you were gonna blackmail ME, huh?
[05:58] <=^catablanca^=> I I I ... it's just that ever since I married Luna, you stopped giving me choco, and this is the first year in a long time we won't be together because the cheating and the infidelity and...
[05:58] <C'est_la_V> Artemis...
[05:58] * C'est_la_V huggles Artemis.
[05:59] <FireFly_9> I shall buy you the chocolate, Artemis.
[05:59] <C'est_la_V> Hotaru-chan... you?
[05:59] <FireFly_9> I know what it is to be stung by love's bitter nettle.
[05:59] <// J_Daito //> When were you ever in love, bloodless waif.
[06:00] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Dude... Jed... didn't you like have a crush on 'Taru?
[06:00] <// J_Daito //> I used to lust after her, Ten'ou. For a brief time.
[06:00] * FireFly_9 is distinctly uncomfortable BEING SPOKEN OF AS A PIECE OF MEAT
[06:01] <=^catablanca^=> Thank you... Hotaru.
[06:01] * C'est_la_V looks to Artemis and then to 'Taru-chan (Well would if she wasn't just online with them)
[06:01] <// J_Daito //> All humans are meatbags. Get over it.
[06:02] <// J_Daito //> Some are meatbags with milkbags. Milkbags please Jedite.
[06:03] *** FireFly_9 [ruin@ntt1.docomo.jp] has quit IRC (for your information I had a crush on Hayase Shun... but he bretrayed me when I found it his story of working his way from frailty to athletic supremacy was all a lie.)
