I don't know. Madden has become unnecessarily difficult to me over the past few years and seems slow and clunky in comparison to NCAA football which I usually get and enjoy.

Right now I have neither though. I'm still on my "no new games" period. That is until LBP2 and possibly Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood comes out.

I read this in the Daily News and was going to find and post it.

I just downloaded Start Trek Deep Space Nine, season one. Well, it's still downloading, and I can't wait to watch it.:) Oh, and I was just thinking, about some of the other earlier Star Trek episodes, I have. I mean, just the way that some of them were written, like on the Next Generation (my fave). I can't remember the episode, but it's the one where Lieutenant Riker was split into two copies during transportation from one of the planets who's name is on the tip of my tongue (ugh, I can't think of it) But to make a long story short, as I can remember, I think one version returned safely, and one was reflected back to the planet, where he lived alone for a few years. It's just that I've always wondered about that. I know it's all fiction, but the "transporter" never really seems to be consistent.

Commander Riker

Don't make the geek cringe.

He was still a lieutenant when the transporter accident happened. The result was two Rikers. One materialized on the ship and went on to earn the rank of commander and become first officer of the Enterprise. The other was stuck on the planet and survived there for years until he was rescued by (of course) the Enterprise.

Duh! You're right. I forgot that the episode happened at the end of that, not at the beginning.

Okay, so I am a nerd for animals, but bugs don't usually get me too excited. A few nights ago I was walking my dog, and I saw a giant "leaf bug". It had to have been almost 4 inches long and 2.5 inches high. It was so cool that I wanted to see it up close so I got it to crawl onto a leaf so I could hold it up and get a better look. It was so big and awesome and pretty in its own way :) When I got back inside the house, I went on google to try and identify it. I *think* it is actually a katydid. I've included a picture of something similar. It was just such a neat insect! Yes, I am a dork!

Yep! You're definitely a Trekky.:p It's just that when I saw that episode, I was like huh? I mean, it's just that Star Trek is pretty believable sometimes. But I usually can catch something that might be off or impossible, based on science. I remember the transporter would carry both the matter stream and the information signal, and I always wondered how that could be. It's just that the number of atoms you end up with has to be the same as the number you begin with. There's just no possible way to replicate people that way. Oh, and I saw a ton of mistakes they made with black holes, too. That's the fun part about watching Star Trek, I love finding the things that make me go...hmmm.:p

Thanks for posting these. I love Katydids, they're amazing insects.:)
