All I got for my trouble was that goop "This resource is no longer valid. Please return to the beginning and try again."

The ass munching salad tossers who run this shit site are saving a few precious pennies by serving pages from a cache which breaks the fucking poll submission form. Just put some random cache busting shit in the url to bypass the cache before you vote.
Fuck SN moron asshole cunts.

Thanks for the explanation and suggestion. I think I sense slight dislike on your part, how come? I think generally saving pennies is a good thing.

Maybe because I see this shit happen all the time when "new management" arrives, declares "we're going to run this site cheaper" and then they do absolutely nothing to optimize anything. Instead they cut the hardware budget and compensate by throwing "web accelerators" at the inevitable performance problems which occur. "MORE CACHE" is every blithering idiot's answer to everything when they have no fucking clue about how the codebase works.

GOD I hated her: the alien/enemy is yelling at the view screen and she comes out with "I sense anger".
Or I just hated NG all together. Yeah, could be.
Her only decent episode was where she finally learned that Command meant sometimes you had to order Geordie to die for a cause.

Wow, I always thought it was just me. Thank you!
Thinking about it when you combine that with Wesley Crusher amongst other things, there's a lot of scope for irritation in TNG. TOS seems to avoid having any long term irritating characters.
I plan to watch all of TNG from start to finish soon. You've reminded me I'm going to get more than I bargained for. Still, I much prefer it to soap opera in space, DS9.

At least with Wesley there was a drinking game. With her there's just her and her annoying mother (Dog forgive me: i liked her in TOS). Everything about her is just ERRRK!
I tried to rewatch NG but couldn't. The first couple episodes just made me want to vomit they are all so stiff and wooden and "I sense the alien is looking at my cleavage". I watched it for a while when it first came out because --STAR TREK--
after a while, i just stopped watching.

You must like the Female Changeling. Domineering, manipulative, age indeterminate, alters her physical appearance to conform to your idea of sexy. Foreplay involves occupying your home and declaring war on your neighbors.

what's wrong with you?
I keep trying to watch the original series and it's just so bad that I give up.
Everyone except for McCoy and Uhura is wooden and awkward.
And Wesley Crusher is just as ridiculously intense as kirk, so stop complaining.

Whew! For a minute there I thought you might OVER react to the inconvenience of clicking a link again.
Good thing we missed that bullet!

If this site's servers were powered by clean coal, that would not happen.
