“I have come on an urgent mission from the Federation.
I’m looking for Ambassador Spock.”

Watch online at YouTube.

Slightly better viewing as per ThotFullGuy YouTube.

w00t, my 2nd favorite 2 parter (1st being Best of Both Worlds, natch). I’m going to have to leave early from my Star Trek Nite (every tuesday) with my IRL friends to make it to Star Trek Frak Nite with my GWC friends.

wow, What a geek!

Hope I can make it back in time!

Wouldn’t it be easier for your IRL friends to join us? :slight_smile:

Actually, moot point tonight. Had to cancel for this week, so I should be here. (w00t)

Fyi the you tube link above seems to have a weird delay.

This one seems better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvsBFzOEgu0&feature=related

Question: start time = :00 hour or :15 hour?

We start on time now. @ :00

OK, seriously people, make up your minds here. It’s going in the FAQ.

We did. I can’t find the post but the hammer has been dropped. Frak parties start on time as posted.

What was the reasoning behind the 15 after thing anyway?

People are invariably delayed.

We started on time at first, then gradually pushed the time back to accomodate stragglers, until we firmly settled on 15 minutes after the stated start time. Eventually, new people started joining us, some being aware of the delayed start time, some not, and it basically just got to be too confusing for everyone involved. It just seemed more logical and intuitive to start when we said we would.

Not reason…exacT-ly. Take a seat and frakkintalos will tell you all about it.

Many moons ago, frak parties would start and stragglers would wander in and we would wind up having to restart whatever we were watching. So a tradition started where you would show up at a frak party (like any party), introduce yourself, get ready (get a drink/food, queue up the movie), and then party @ :15 after the posted time.

This worked for a long time. Now, it’s become a bit of a nuisance. Folks show up early and are ready to go but because of “tradition” we would wait until :15. So, “we” decided to fore go the tradition and start on time.

Hope that clears it up.

What do you mean “we”, white man? :eek:

Besides, we’re still flexible. If a group shows up late. Folks usually pause or whutever so we’re all in sync.

The party doesn’t start until I show up and take my pants off.

Oh, did I just say that out loud? :o

That’s sorta true from a certain point of view…

Thanks, Unca 'Talos!

My pants are off.

OH Snap! Isn’t this the episode that starts with the tribute to Gene? I think it is…running to the Shat cave
