Site Columns

Hello World!

Lack of inspiration is not my friend. I actually started shutting down all my still opened browser windows a minute ago, so I could finally shut down the computer and head to bed. Only when arriving at this last window I noticed it actually contained half the Site Columns which I'd left open during the early evening, deciding to first do some shopping and hoping inspiration would hit me during that. As Ethiopian coffee (a birthday gift from me to someone) and lots of rain (God's gift to the Netherlands) aren't exactly enourmously inspiring, I apparently just forgot about the Site Columns until now. Apologies for those of you relying on the Columns to get your TV listings - I'll try to be as early as possible during the weekend.

Poll Results

Below are the results of the most recent TrekToday poll:


Did you see the pilot of the new Gene Roddenberry series, 'Andromeda'?
Yes, I liked it 26.3% - (217 Votes)
Yes, it was pretty average 21.2% - (175 Votes)
No, I wasn't able to see it 19.2% - (158 Votes)
No, I didn't know it was on 13.6% - (112 Votes)
No, I didn't want to see it 12% - (99 Votes)
Yes, I hated it 7.4% - (61 Votes)

Total Votes: 822

It's interesting to see in these poll results not so much how few people actually hate the show (after the negative reviews it's been getting), but also how many people either weren't aware the show was on or weren't able to see it. Perhaps it would indeed be better for Series V if it ended up on a network and not, like Andromeda, in syndication - that way at least people will be able to see it.

The new poll is our weekly episode poll, asking what you thought about 'Imperfection':
