Ti ringràzio!
You're correct I'm just trying to learn the language. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's my 5th language</span>

Tanto di cappello, brava davvero! :)
Anche a me piacerebbe poter dire di conoscere cinque lingue.

If you ever need any help, pointers, whatever, feel free to enquire!

No problemi. Anche che un tv show recentemente di mostrare ASL tutto malamente.

(I'm sorry if I screwed that up. Trying to say "No problem. Also recently there was a show that showed ASL badly". My Italian has gotten rusty.)

"Non c'è problema. Inoltre, di recente c'è stato uno show televisivo che ha malamente mostrato l' ASL."

Don't worry about it, you're excused because:
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">You're not a professional translator (as far as I know)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Italian is a pretty difficult language</span></li>
</ol>

It was some kind of comedy sketch. What happened was during an emergency there was an announcement with some official. Some comedy show decided to parody the ASL interpreter standing alongside him during the announcement. Only they apparently didn't use any signs at all. Just random hand movements. I didn't see it but there was quite an uproar in the Deaf community about it.

I just saw it. It's this one, isn't it?

Back to Trek - does anybody know the chronological order for all Star Trek TV shows, novels, comic books and movies ?

Oh yeah I echo Leonardo's thoughts on translation. I mean there's an episode of Power Rangers where they had ASL presented in the episode and they use the actual signs. I think there's like 1 or 2 mess ups but it's 99% accurate. This episode was in the first season of Power Rangers too... Then again it was made by a bilingual Jewish guy, then Disney shipped production over to New Zealand, then Saban took over again. Now it's a production of New Zealanders, Bilingual guy, Japanese stock footage, and some American talent... Saban might even know more languages than Hebrew and English. So I guess it's just a problem with monolingual Americans then.

As an aside my spell check wants to "correct" "New Zealanders" to "New Salamanders"....

Re: Walking Dead
I feel they shot themselves in the foot with the season 3 ending in that it pretty much wraps up the series. Seriously aside from 1 plot point in regards to 1 person everything is wrapped up. It's like how I felt after the 4th episode of the 4th series of Misfits. There's nothing cliffhanger-esque enough for me to feel like I would have to watch the next episode. While I wasn't a big fan of the season 2 or 3 of Walking Dead I was at least curious enough about it that I watched it. I feel absolutely no desire to continue watching Walking Dead unless there's praise for the new episodes. Similarly I don't feel much of a desire to watch past the episodes I have in Misfits unless I read that the programme's finale is really awesome.

All in all even if the following episodes of Walking Dead get nielsen ratings, unless they really step up the quality, I wouldn't doubt people thinking they should've just stopped after season 3. Well those that don't already think the series was screwed since the start of season 2.

I am now at that stage where I've not slept for two days. Mwhaha! My random thoughts shall flow!!!!!!!!!

Eating the dry ice cream while sitting on the asteroid pod man station. Witness the blanket turvy whirlwind of sworded golf balls! They head to the intersand cave with all the doorknob metals in the graphite deposits!!! They manage to gather the metals in their blankets and create the ultimate door unlockers!!!!!!! They take everyone's pies! That's their goal. They end up giving the pies as sacrifice to the dragon king of flowers! He accepts and gives the gathered sacrifices to the Queen of the kingdom. The Queen of the kingdom allows the dragon to keep his position. And the squire makes the shoes.

Wait. Stop.

Isn't the ENTIRE PURPOSE of Tumbr to reshare things?

So this random person on twitter is trying to get me to delete a tweet claiming it's "reposting" when all it is, is a link to a reblog on tumblr. He also claims it's his even though he refuses to contact me on tumblr. He's also trying to get twitter support involved. All this over a Star Trek image. This one. I just find this entire thing hilarious.

Here's links to the tweets and you can see what's going on.

That's it just simply asking for him to confirm who he is to me is suddenly "refusing to delete" something.

Currently watching some YesJapan Dailies. Trying to improve my Japanese.

Last TV Show I watched was Switched At Birth. Really interested in seeing where they take the new episodes.

I may go through a list on memory alpha for the Jeffrey Combs episodes to make sure I've seen all of those but other then that I don't feel a strong desire to see all of Enterprise.

Spoiler alert - He's in the finale.

Totally ordinary shirt

Interestingly enough I've seen all of Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and The Next Generation. Yet TOS I've yet to complete watching. I guess I feel like once I've done that. That's it. No more Star Trek series for me to watch with completely fresh eyes sort of speak.

What about Enterprise?

I simply don't like Enterprise enough to want to watch the entire thing. I'm pretty confident that I've likely seen the best of Enterprise already anyway.

What have you seen?

SilverWook said:

You have to at least check out the Andorian episodes. Jeffrey Combs as Shran was as memorable as his DS9 character.

The Mirror Universe two parter is also a must see.

I just discovered something curious on Twitter. On George Lucas's official twitter page he has posted a link to a short film (roughly 5 mins long) called 'The Game' and has said that if it gets 100 views or retweets, he may divulge some info about Episode VII. 

His Twitter page... wow. :-/

This Jeanette Vogelpohl seems to still live at the same address, could be in her 60s.  She's got a son, Scott in his 30s, who could be this individual: https://www.facebook.com/nleseul  If anyone uses that website and could send a polite letter, feel free.

And I thought looking up old girlfriends was creepy and weird. ;)
