He's already married. To T'Pring. Mind you, she's cheating on him with Stonn, so you may have a shot. He'd have to fight me though...

Also, you know all the Star Trek series are available on Netflix?

TBH I couldn't get into all the Star Trek spin offs. Besides Star Trek (the original series) as my favorite, I liked Star Trek: The Next Generation - I can't recall seeing every one. I also liked the beginning of Star Trek: Enterprise, I thought it was promising but I loss track of the series. I saw a few Star Trek: Voyager and like them. If you get pass the fact that Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway sounds like Katharine Hepburn you would probably like it. The least liked for me was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

If I were to rate the TV series in importance to watch (with 1 being most important) it would be:
  1. Star Trek (the original series)
  2. Star Trek: The Next Generation
  3. Star Trek: Voyager
  4. Star Trek: Enterprise
  5. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

I asked my brother (who is more of a Trekkie than me) and his list is different:
  1. The original cast movies w/ Capt. Kirk
  2. Star Trek (the original series)
  3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
  4. Star Trek: The Next Generation
  5. Star Trek: Voyager
  6. Star Trek: Enterprise
  7. The movies w/ Capt. Picard
My list runs thusly:

TOS
Next Generation
DS9
Voyager/Enterprise (neither gets top slot; you know how I feel about one and I never finished the other)
The movies don't come into my list. Some are good, some bad, some woeful. I've only seen the first of the new movies so can't really comment on those.

Yes I do. I'm one of those people that once you start you have to have the whole collection.

No, but to get on Netflix I'll have to do all that IP changing crap. If you can give me a quick and easy solution to this (like a good IP changing software) I'll make your babies.

If that is the case you should also give The Prisoner a try too. The fashion aside, it's thought provoking, and probably more relevant today than when it first aired. Patrick Mcgoohan wrote most of the episodes, directed and starred in it. He only intended it to be a few episodes which Jim Caviezel did a remake but I would go with the original first.

You should also try Doctor Who, the Eleventh Doctor episodes. I think you would like the Amy Pond and River Song characters.

Mediahint is what I use. It costs something like three dollars a month but it's worth it. http://www.mediahint.com Integrates into your browser and away you go.

She could, but personally I never managed to get that to work. Whichever suits I guess. I'd rather use something I pay for and know works than something free that doesn't, but that's just me.

I use unblock-us, which is five dollars a month and seems idiot-proof. One click and you're in the UK, another and you're in the States, another and you're in Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Brazil or just about anywhere. I also use it to stream postseason baseball games, which are blacked out nationally.

Now the problem is, whose babies does she work on first? Oh wait: you're 14 Justin and you're 15 Pet, yes? Woo-hoo! Old-er age! Old-er age! Unless I'm too old, Jess?
