A bit of randomness...

I have been following Connor on Twitter. I just recently started going there and mostly use it as my fan page. :p I think that Jasper looks just like his mom. I can't believe he is 9 already, yikes!

Got back from Berlin last night. Beautiful city. Best of all I got to stay basically on the main street and get paid for it. Well I wasn't on a vacation but I was like a couple of blocks away from Brandenburg Gates :happyjump: .

I'm wondering if this has been mentioned somewhere else on here or is it something that nobody's going to mention, but has anyone else seen Connor in 'Prey for Death'?

(Runs to hide in a very dark place in case I shouldn't have asked...) :oops:

Errrhhhh...

Well, apart from the fact that filming apparently started half way through the story, that there was no character development whatsoever, that the dialogue was dire, the plot was more full of holes than a Swiss cheese, the English character was a ghastly caricature painted by someone who really, really hates English people, the Japanese character had fallen out of a Bruce Lee film, and poor Connor's acting skills were mostly limited to running around looking tired and bewildered, yes, it was a great film.

Two plus points: 1. The scenery was great. 2. You got to see Connor's chest (very briefly).

Incidentally I accidentally saw him in 'Odyssey' last night. He achieved more presence in about five minutes of screen time in that than in the entire excruciating 78 minutes of 'Prey for Death'. Actually he was riveting in it, and I hope it gets him the recognition he deserves as a really capable actor.

Bit like Enterprise, then. :D :oops:

Oh dear, I hadn't thought of it that way, but I'm afraid the resemblance was quite prodigious! :clap:

It's listed on IMDB as 'American Odyssey', though here on UK television the 'American' part of it isn't used. This is the link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3551796/

In all honesty I haven't been paying much attention to the story, it's some kind of military conspiracy thing - about Iraq I think. Connor is apparently in four episodes and my other half says he's not a very nice person (that wasn't actually what he said he was, but it's an expurgated version). I actually only looked at the screen when I heard his voice. Must say, I think he looked rather sexy too!

I never even heard of it. Thanks. I'll have to see if some handy fan has posted YouTube clips of his scenes!

I'm enjoying a short stay-cation. Yesterday we went to the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. I'd never been to their observatory. I was surprised that I could see Venus through the telescope at noon on a very sunny day.

While I was there, I picked up a flyer on citizen science projects in astronomy. I knew about SETI@Home, but I didn't realize that there are a bunch of others. You can help map the Moon or Mars or an asteroid, look for planets around other stars or for new galaxies, track the brightness of variable stars, track solar storms, help scientists learn more about the Milky Way or look for stardust outside our solar system. It looks like we can explore the stars while we're still here on Earth. Now I just need to decide which project to choose.

Happy Halloween! Did anyone wear a Star Trek costume to a Halloween party? I dug out an old Next Generation uniform and went to our clinic's Halloween party as Dr. Beverly Crusher. I didn't win one of the prizes, but I got a lot of smiles and nice comments. I'd like to get an Enterprise uniform for next year (and maybe for a con or two before then). Anyone have any advice on that?

Happy Halloween! I was very boring this year. It's been a long time since I was in the US for Halloween. I think there are more adults wearing costumes than way back when.

I dressed up as a lazy fan fic writer who is slowly working on the next chapter and hopes to have it out in another month or so.
Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.
