Decided to watch the trailers and am disappointed. Looks like another JJ Abrams type of flashy production. Really dislike the actor playing Sarek who's not suited for that role. Not the right voice. I also dislike the choice of somebody with a major accent as one of the main characters in Michelle Yaoh (sp?). Think I'll stick to TNG. What a tool. What about Chekhov? He was a main character with a major accent, and it wasn't even a real accent (unless New York City is in Russia). And although George Takei didn't have an accent per se, he sure did have an affect... I hope in the 22nd century, when (if?) humans are encountering Romulans and Klingons, people are a little less hung up on foreign accents and skin color than they are now... Maybe the real issue is that Michelle Yeoh is a woman with an accent? At any rate, Strat-Mangler had better get used to Chinese accents, because he's gonna hear more and more of them this century...

Walter Koenig's fake Russian accent was hysterically bad. And with George Takei off shooting a movie, they needed to put Chekov in more shows than he deserved. But, back to Rat-Mange... Young Sarek actor (whoever he is) still sucks tremendously and I dislike major accents in what I watch. He dislikes major accents in what he watches... I wonder if this is extended to people he meets in everyday life as well? Based on what I've seen from this guy, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. (The question becomes: does he put tiki torches in his backyard for festive parties, or does he carry them down the street in support of nazi parties?)

Another day, another complaint from Rat-Mange... A few weeks back I was home on a Saturday night and I decided to look through my assorted DVDs for something to watch. I happened to pull out Season 4 of SNL and noticed that the date happened to be the exact anniversary of a show hosted by Buck Henry that season, so I thought it would be fun to watch it. So the following week I happened to be home again (I know, I need to get out more) and I watched the next one hosted by Carrie Fisher, again on its exact anniversary date. That season was when I first started watching the show and it's been interesting to try and recreate that in real time or something close to it. Anyway, at the end of the Carrie Fisher episode, announcer Don Pardo promotes the following week's show, which was to be a rerun of the Thanksgiving 1976 show hosted by Paul Simon. I actually do have plans this Saturday, but I want to try and squeeze a viewing in. Now, I remember they usually did three shows and then a week off, which was usually a rerun from an earlier season. Then there would be a summer of reruns, which were usually from the season they just finished. Anyway...the original airdates for the actual shows are fairly common knowledge, but just for kicks I'd like to reconstruct a list of what aired in reruns, both on "weeks off" and during the summer hiatus. Is that info out there anywhere or would that take original research? As an aside, it also kind of surprised me to discover that Season 4 was actually the only season of the original (first five years) era where Chevy Chase did not appear at all. He left part way through the second season, then guest hosted one time each in seasons 3 and 5. I guess it wasn't as evident that he wasn't there because they had so many reruns of earlier years, and I remember an occasional joke here and there made at his expense. (I mean I know he'd left the show, but he never even made a cameo that year, which I guess isn't surprising after the infamous spat with Bill Murray when he had come back to host during the third season.) But anyway, they had all kinds of reruns during "off weeks." I specifically remember shows hosted by Peter Boyle and Broderick Crawford from the first couple seasons being repeated during the fifth season. Is there a list anywhere? Not being snarky but seriously,... please use paragraphs. That wall of text is too much. Too much? It rambles a bit, but I had no problem understanding what the guy was getting at. Can Rat-Mange go one day without finding something or someone to bitch at? What a fucking nuisance!

Rat Mange sounds so fuckin' miserable that he'd really be doing himself and the rest of the world a favour by killing himself. I mean, Jesus, can you imagine if this guy has a family, how he treats his wife and kids?

Yes. But snarky? Not really.

Who here wants to send him a PM to this thread? On the off chance he might blow his brains out on his semen drenched keyboard?

Strat Mangler is helping people now:
waltjohns said: ↑ But if I've unplugged the power supply from the TT and it's getting no juice ... wouldn't that indicate that the hum is coming from the receiver?
Our helpful hero replies:
Again, I'm awaiting the answer to my question. I'm trying to help and am taking the time to write these questions out so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't skim my posts.
I mean, shit. This waltjohns fucker can't even follow Strat Mangler's simple troubleshooting questions? I can't read the whole thing, but I'm assuming he asked waltjohns if he filled out his equipment profile. Goddam it, help him to help YOU.
Oh shit - there's more!

Not a funny coincidence at all. If they're using the same electrical circuit, they could very well transmit those frequencies.
You still didn't try Phono 2, did you? Is there a reason you're resisting it?
Dude likes both inputs, and wants no resistance.

I'm guessing they all are. Except for Curveboy, who would fuck you up if you looked at him the wrong way.

..meanwhile he's started up a thread based on a David Letterman clip, about the Licensing of Eagles and within a few minutesS-M is barking (as in a high pitched little-dog yap) at one of the contributors.
I'd like to see Strat-mangler and Wildstar locked in a head to head. I picture a Pomeranian vs a Yorkshire Terrier, with bets on see which one has a seizure first.

More nonsense from Twat-Strangler: Law & Order on TV with frontal nudity - How?
"L&O went on the air in 1990. I'm watching the shows in chronological order and I've now come into two instances where breasts (with nipple) were shown in plain view. In both instances, it was a photo displayed as art. Not a painting but B&W photos. I'm no prude and find the female body gorgeous to look at so I have no problem with it at all. I'm just perplexed that this was allowed to air on network TV back in the 90s. Were the FCC restrictions much more lax? From what I remember, NYPD Blue busted the door wide open with language and some nudity (butts and breasts but without nipples showing) but this was *after* L&O. Maybe my memory is wrong?" Just in case anyone is unsure what breast (with nipple) referrers to please see the diagram below
