	no, I meant the divorce was canon, but that's not where he got the name... agh. Sorry. I'll just go wait in the agony booth. (Heh. Doozer construction, very good.) I haven't given up on it entirely, but... :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

So I was right calling 80s Action Movie Cliche Bingo time? :-D Maybe it'd make a better drinking game instead? Down a shot every time old skool canon's stitched into the script/plot in 80s Action Movie Cliche style. Two if the only transportation on Vulcan is Mad Max's Interceptor. Three if Sulu's got a murky Black Ops past. Chug if it's Police Academy in Space.

Dude, however bad you think it is. However bad you imagine it could be. Take comfort in the knowledge Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler aren't in it.

	I just want a manip of the first picture. Nero-Fraggle swap with a speech bubble for Spock and the legend: "I believe it wishes to eat our crunchy-crunchy Doozer-bridge, Captain." Sadly I'm crippled by a touchpad and lack of photoshop/GIMP. (Reply to this)(Parent)
