As you determine where to spend your hard earned monies this holiday season, might I suggest these fine establishments?

• The HijiNKS ENSUE Store: Books, Prints, Posters, T-Shirts and more by yours truly!
• Sharksplode: Geeky T-Shirts by me and Wil Wheaton, made to order!
• Science & Fiction: My wife’s Etsy shop full of fantastically geeky jewelry!
• Emily Watson Photography: Give a loved one a beautifully restored photo to remind them of how live used to not be so burned, torn and sepia toned.

If you want to support HijiNKS ENSUE for the holidays, but hate capitalism then perhaps you would enjoy GIVING A DONATION or purchasing sometime on my Amazon Wishlist? All of those ideas sound terrible? Then how about a digital highfive via Twitter or email?

“[Y]ou must rank the Star Trek Captains from ‘best to Janeway’.” Oh, so it’s best, bester, bestest, bestester, Janeway? Sounds good to me.

Can we rank them “best to New Kirk” instead?

There is no New Kirk. That would imply there was a new Star Trek after “Of Gods and Men”

What I took from this is Archer is better than Janeway. Although I can’t come up with why Janeway gets so much flak.

This. Archer violated the Prime Directive as a matter of course, or would have if it had existed yet, and once came this | | close to literally throwing a guy out an airlock. How the hell is Janeway worse than him?

Throwing dudes out of airlocks is the very epitome of Awesome. Just ask Laura “Airlock” Roslin.

We’re only talking 4 captains including Janeway, right?

Why would we be talking only 4 Captains? Is this because Sulu lost the captaincy on Muppets Tonight to Captain Kangaroo?

If you’re old, scrawny, and bald enough, you can probably circumvent all the troll’s questions provided you’re the right combination of awesome and shameless to come up with some sweet Cohen the Barbarian cosplay and are capable of reenacting “Troll Bridge” with said troll…

Awww, I want a sonic screwdriver… Either third or tenth would be preferred

Fair warning, the plastic replicas that are commonly sold at conventions start to fall apart almost immediately. My “Eleven” was in top shape for maybe the first week.

There aren’t any metal ones? Or at least of a better quality plastic?

I dont keep up on this a lot but the last time I saw a metal one it was an official prop made by hand by the propmaster of DW and it was like $4000.

There should be a ranking of “struggling with humanity” characters. i.e. The Doctor (emh), Data, Spock, Seven of Nine. Those aren’t in any particular order except the The Doctor is the best.

Poor Odo. No love.

BTW:
Spock
Data/Odo (tie!)
The Doctor
Hugh

(I’m so tempted to throw a half dozen Trek book characters in here, and maybe one or two from completely different franchises)

Seven of Nine.

In my experience, many wives have that ability – with YOUR stuff. We can’t find our own stuff to save our lives…

It’s really bad when the husband in question is wearing a 4-pocket hoodie, an 8-pocket jean jacket and the never-ending-pocketed cargo pants. “Did you check ALL your pockets?”

I can never find anything. Ever. But I’m all kinds of a geek. And a nerd even. My fiance and I met through FanForce &/or the 501st/Rebel Legions.

my husband found me at ren fair. I’m not sure if he decided to marry me when he found out I came with a framed 70’s lotr poster & framed princess bride poster, when he saw my star trek and star wars Christmas ornaments, or when he realized my book collection exceeded his.

In the event they change it up and ask you about the air velocity of a swallow, ask if it’s European or African. Always works for me.
