    This shall be interesting

    Wow, I thought I was the only one. Skins is a British show. Third season just finished up, but it's all about the first two seasons. Only a total of 19 episodes, so it's not that big of an investment. Brilliant show. Generally a teenage girl type of thing, though. It's on the BBC America. You should check it out.

    I don't really remember being a freshman. It's been like six years. I've heard that I was one hyper mother fucker. I don't really remember it. I definitely didn't want to do homework. What kind of activities?

For me and Sex and the City, well I already had HBO and it was around the time the movie came out (I did not see the movie in theaters) I figured I'd watch a couple of episodes to see what the big deal is. I never really found women led comedies to be that funny because they never focus too much on getting the laughs (at least from what I noticed), but it was funny enough (though its no Eastbound and Down or Hung) and interesting enough for me to keep watching. And then one time when I had the house to myself, I watched the movie (my mom already had it on DVD). Please don't take away my man card.</div></div> Simple. I was like fourteen or so when it first came out(several years ago), my mom was watching it, and I found Alexis Bledel attractive. I watched a few episodes and actually liked the humor, so I began to watch it with a certain regularity. I'll still watch it from time to time, even though the finale aired a couple years ago. Man, I'm the last person who has the authority to revoke man cards. Trust me.

    Stormtrooper vs. Redshirt

    <p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'><p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>Well the purpose of the Redshirt/Goldshirt is death. At the very least, Storm Troopers have the advantage in reputation(in-universe) as scary and imposing killing machines. While we don't really get tot see any competent showings on-screen, we are forced to assume that there are some off-screen.</div></div> No, the purpose of the Redshirt/Goldshirt is security, which, against unamed characters that are not the "monster/alien of the week", do pretty well (DS9's protection vs Klingons, security personnel in Nemesis, etc)... While the Stormtrooper's reputation is more along the line of loyal servants of the Empire who are willing to do anything ordered. But scary? I think not... They can't aim, can't fight, and don't have better strategies then the Redshirts/Goldshirts who are only supposed to be the equivalent of MPs. And we are not forced to assume any competent showings offscreen... If anything, since we see Stormtroopers are so incompetent, we should be forced to assume anybody that cannot fight them is even more incompetent... I give it to the Redshirts/Goldshirts, because at least they duck and take cover in a fight...</div></div> Yes, yes we are forced to assume competent showings off-screen. It's all in the dialogue. One scene that stands out in my memory, is the scene where Obi-wan and Luke find the dead Jawas and their wrecked sand-crawler. "No, the blaster points are too precise for Sand People... Only Imperial Storm Troopers are so precise." Or something very similar to that. They easily took out the Tantive IV troops in ANH, and were shown to dominate the relatively hapless Rebels all throughout ESB. Then, you know, there is that kind of cheap excuse that Han, and Luke and the others were purposely allowed to escape from the Death Star. They are feared throughout the Empire, and, In-universe, have a very good reputation. Now, plot requires them to have very poor aim when the named characters are involved, as it does in every movie of the fantasy genre, but off-screen, they are anything but incompetent.

    but...we've already been introduced. Kind of redundant.

    Nope you are all alone. Have fun!

    Stormtrooper vs. Redshirt

    Well the purpose of the Redshirt/Goldshirt is death. At the very least, Storm Troopers have the advantage in reputation(in-universe) as scary and imposing killing machines. While we don't really get tot see any competent showings on-screen, we are forced to assume that there are some off-screen. Going from this, I would give it to the Storm Trooper. If we were judging by who had a weapons advatage, well, the phaser kicks the E-11's ass. I still give it to the stormie, however.

    Glorified kills in gaming.

    Most of my kills ARE away from the computer, and are very similar to the one you just described. Takes effort, that does. I commend you.

    I say hello to you both. Nice to see you Praeothmin.

    WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT Q OR BOBA FETT?

    Somehow, this seems an unfair pairing...

    Monsterprise

    Seems a fair enough assumption. I think that was the intended reasoning. I would think that the 900m number seems to be fairly accurate

    The new Star Trek movie

    I've been thinking about checking it out, but frankly, I'm too interested in TNG right now, to take on any more new Trek(to me).

    The new Star Trek movie

    I loved the movie, but that may be because it is very similar to the ANH. Also, I am in the majority, I know, but I loved Chekov. He was hilarious. I obviously have not watched TOS, so that may be why I loved this so much.

    Captain Kirk vs Luke Skywalker

    Yeah, Harley Quinn is amazing. One of only two DC characters that were so popular in a non-canon series that they were brought over to the comics.

    Adfest(the main admin) just rents the space, I believe. I'm not sure what the problem was, I didn't have anything to with installing it myself, so I'm pretty much useless as far as giving advice...

    I'm a mod on a forum that uses the same host, and we tried to install a shat mod a while back. Caused many problems, almost wrecked the entire forums, at one point. Eventually we just threw in the towel and took it off.

    Captain Kirk vs Luke Skywalker

    Luke kicked ass as the joker. Btw, since Luke was the Joker, that means he got Harley Quinn. I think that make this an insta-win for Luke.

    'Lo everyone. I'm fairly new to the debating community. Might have seen me at SFJ or SBC. thought I might check this out. Btw, Tyralak, I love this layout. Nice and sleek, easy to navigate.

Riker's beard takes it. Why? Obi-wan's is always perfectly groomed, even in the midst of a life and death battle. That just screams of mixed up priorities and arrogance. It's just way too overconfident.
