Quills pointed out before the Great TriSilk server move, the execs on the show evidently meant for their to be a sexual subtext there.


And that is all that Archer got ,along with the entire AinT cult ,subtext ,nothing more Wink
And even that subtext came out forced ,i know non-shippers who fell the same way .
The AinT-ers are happy with their subtext, i've seen some threads over there were they transformed a line in Harbinger between Archer and T'Pol into whole pages of sexual subtext ,even if in that episode she does it with Trip (talk about shipper some big shipper glasses Laughing) ,that is what Quills promised them in his fics ,subtext ,and they went loony with joy over at the 602 club forum Laughing

Rigil, I guess I do feel differently. I don't find them silly. They're supposed to be fun. I don't feel a joke is being made at my expense or even at the expense of the series. They are trying to get people to watch it after all.

I do feel they need to mix up their commercials since they do play them a lot, like you said. However, it's gotten more promotion on this channel than it ever did on UPN.

I just can't take this stuff too seriously. The commercials, IMHO, are aimed at being fun and as a hook to watch the show. They aren't meant to be completely comical or to make fun of the series or the fans.

They could have made a couple of more serious commercials for season three and four, but I'm just happy they made commercials at all. This is not a first run series afterall. And yeah, I understand that SciFi feels like it's a big deal because they are promoting it so much.

I guess so... but to be clear it isn't that this is the preffered commercial for me either. I just think it works for season 1 and even for parts of season 4. I don't know if a more serious commercial for season 1 and 2 would work, though for the last 2 seasons I think it would. And I think action oriented commercials would work well for the show as well. SciFi just seems to have gone for "fun", which I guess can be perceived as "silly".

Randomly speaking - when is there going to be something new in the Decon Chamber?

an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

Randomly speaking with nothing to do with like Decon Chambers or NC-17 stuff anyone wanna hear my alarm clock? Twisted Evil Razz Yeah it can vibrate too because it's a cellphone, duh. But the only place I put it is in my backpack. Razz Very Happy Well it doesn't actually work as a cellphone anymore but I still keep it as my alarm clock because in my newer cellphone I can't like program ringtones myself only like download them from places that charge you and stuff. Confused

Heh Smile this lady here got a new alarm clock and set it up for like 7am, so the damn thing goes off at 7am, and there's 6 people in the room and who's the only one who wakes up, me! And that thing was frelling loud too, well I think so but my senses are kinda hyper so things sound kinda louder to me, but still it sounded like 100 decibels or something. And it's all like beeping and beeping and beeping for like 5 minutes, no one wakes up especially the lady who's supposed to wake up in the first place, she kept sleeping until like 9:30, hell someone could have bombed her and she'd keep sleeping Confused so I just went and shut that thing off myself. And if anyone wonders no it doesn't vibrate and it was on the nightstand. Razz Or I wouldn't have dared to touch it. Yucks. Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused

Sheesh. If it's not going to wake her up, there's no reason to inflict it on others.

Okay. So who the frell is the big genius that had to put Metro Rail freeway stations under a frelling street?? Evil or Very Mad Like with all the traffic on the freeway it's not like it's not loud enough already. Plus with the street being a wide bridge right above it the combination of the traffic noise and it's rumbling echoes are like totally vicious. Confused And in the middle of everything people have to stand and wait for the frelling train. Confused Confused Like why can't the freeway be on top. My poor little ears are still aching Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad and they were covered all along. Sad

Heh, I just thought of something evil while I as watching DS9 today. Twisted Evil

I know a few people like to think of T'Pol's ears, or the points of them as being... sensitive. Very Happy After seeing Vash give Quark some oomax, which has certain sexual connotations to it, I couldn't help but think of that. And I just had to share so everyone else would think of the Ferengi version of a... well, you know... Wink

I love being evil sometimes. Twisted Evil
