Today I did a lot of rushing around and wound up getting very little accomplished. Other than to say I hate days like that, I can’t really think of much to say, so you’re off the hook and can now proceed safely down to the bottom of the page without further disturbance and unclear rambling from yours truly. :)

Two years ago today, Friday the 19th of March, 1999, these were some of the headlines at TrekToday:

New Trek Ratings Info Available:
The Star Trek Nielsen Ratings Infomation Database had two new ratings reports online, one for Voyager and for DS9. A re-run of Voyager's 'In the Flesh' took a dip from 'Extreme Risk's' numbers of last week, falling to a 3.8 rating, 6 share. 'Extreme Risk' had pulled a 4.1/7.
DS9's 'Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang', according to the report, was probably the most bittersweet moment this season, more bitter or sweet depending on your perspective. The episode fell to a 4.1 rating, ranking 19th and tying it with several episodes for lowest-rated ever DS9 episode honors. However, the same 4.1 rating secured DS9's second straight sweeps month as the syndicated drama king.
Patrick Stewart To Present At Academy Awards: The official site, then the Continuum, had a short report up mentioning that Patrick Stewart will be a presenter at this weekend's Academy Awards ceremony.
