st_aurafinaThe baby anemone in our tank got bigger and bigger.
Then one day, s/he spawned seven tiny, tiny Cthulhus, and Marine Man decided that it was time that Baby Cthulhu left our tank. I thought that he might be taking Baby Cthulhu home to his own tank of noxious creatures, but as I was opening my mouth to ask this, Marine Man mashed Baby Cthulhu with his thumb. And all the tiny, tiny Cthulhus too. I'm sad, but also, it was getting a bit "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" in there, with the thousand slimy things.
My PB Wiki project is moving along. I'm still at the stage where I'm pasting large chunks of text, then going through and putting all the square brackets around stuff to enable the cross linking. I'm amazed at how much I've forgotten, and at how much detail I went into about things that weren't really important. Memory Alpha, the real Trek Wiki, has been really useful in putting together a time line, so that I can actually figure dates out for stuff, rather than approximating. (It's easy to get away with approximating dates when you're using Stardates!)

lilacsigil and I are watching Enterprise S2, one episode a night, if we're not too addled by the heat. I'm really enjoying the development of the Vulcan/Andorian plot, and not really missing the Suliban too much. I feel a bit guilty about not embracing the whole Suliban plot, because I think it's great that they've introduced a new race, but I'm just not warming to them. Thinking back, the last new race I really enjoyed learning about were the Bajorans, and I think it was because they weren't presented as the new big scary guys. I liked learning what is was like to be the underdog in the 24th century. and Ensign Ro was so spunky, clever and spiky and self-destructive. The Bajoran stuff, all the little details as they put their world back together and the little bits of their culture and religion that we got to see, all that was what kept me watching Deep Space Nine for longer than I would have based on the whole Dominion War thing. So I guess it makes sense that the only Suliban episode that I found interesting was in S1, Detained, where we see the Suliban who aren't part of the genetically altered super-eeevil group, and the consequences that Silik's actions have for the Suliban race overall.
Wow, I got all wordy and thinky.
