3 May 2007Right on the heels of the best season yet, and with such a convenient way to do something totally different, the writers kind of dropped the ball this season.

How would you design a database of the names of Starfleet employees? At the very least, you'd have to handle standard European Human-style names (given name, family name); Bajoran-style names (family name, given name); and Klingon-style names (given name, son/daughter-of father's name. And you'd probably need to have House name in there, too). I'm certain there are others that I'm leaving out and that we're unaware of. How would you do this?
Corollary: How would you alphabetize a list of Starfleet employees names? Would Ro Laren come before or after Jean-Luc Picard?

Long-time Law and Order star, Jerry Orbach, has died from prostate cancer at 69. I love that show, and the character was just so dang witty and sarcastic. He'll be missed.

Another thing that might be happening on November 16: Ken Jennings' Jeopardy loss. The rumor is that he lost on day 75, and unless they show another week of special episodes or something, that'll be when it's aired. I'll have to tear myself away from Half-Life 2 for a half an hour, I guess.

Jeopardy is showing new episodes again, and Ken Jennings has won show number 39 in a row. My favorite among some KenJen statistics: The last time that Final Jeopardy was mathematically necessary (i.e. the last time Ken did not have more than double the score of the next-best contestant) was June 29.
Update, 09-08: Huge KenJen spoiler.

Although it's not quite what I had in mind, Nomad will find these TV RSS feeds awfully close.

Watching Season 3 of our Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Ghetto Box Set, I came across the episode Family Business. It's not an extremely notable episode (besides the old-Ferrengi-lady nudity), but it sticks out prominently in my mind (and not because of the nudity). It's the first time we meet freighter captain Kasidy Yates. I had known that Penny Johnson was in the series eventually, and I was dreading it. I could never trust Sherry Palmer. Never! The episode was over before I realized how great of an actress she really is. I didn't doubt her sincerity and utter likeableness in DS9 for a moment. It totally blew me away.
