Happy birthday, Dad.

It's amazing to look back and remember how sad the first season was for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Just, just awful. And yet people watched, though these same bastards never gave Deep Space Nine the benefit of the doubt. That's okay, DS9 doesn't need your love. DS9's sense of superiority will keep it warm at night, just like Ed Begley Jr.'s car that runs on his own sense of self-satisfaction. And now I think I'm going to watch "Improbable Cause" and "The Die Is Cast." I love lazy Saturdays at home.
