I bought a replica Mek'leth that came in the other day. For those who don't remember it's name, it's a slightly lesser popular Klingon weapon than their Bat'leth. This is not a pic of mine but it came up when doing a google image search & mine looks about the same



I searched for it years ago around the time I bought my replica bat'leth but I couldn't find a mek'leth. I'm a knife/blade collector & I frequent a site called BudK & a while back I stumbled onto a mek'leth there. There's is titled "Klingon Fantasy Short Sword - One-Piece Stainless Steel Construction, Leather-Wrapped Grip, Gut-Hook - Length 18”. It's req price is $46.99. I searched on eBay some & I found a couple there but they were going for around $200. There are some wooden 1s on eBay that are a lot cheaper but I don't roll that way with my collection. The BudK one was out of stock for a while & recently came back in stock. The BudK one looks kewl & is probably very sharp. I haven't fully unwrapped it but they claim it's sharp & they probably would not of wrapped the blade the way they did if it wasn't. There's also a bit of oil on it. Unwrapping it & getting the excess oil off would be a careful process I'm not wanting to tackle rite now. I'm not sure where to put it yet. The 1s on eBay come with a stand but the BudK one does not. I would have to hang it on the wall somehow in a spot where I can see it but not likely accidentally brush up against it. BudK is selling a bat'leth as well rite now for $89.99. It's titled "Alien Fantasy Sword". They were not selling the bat'leth when I got mine years ago. I got my bat'leth on eBay for a little cheaper than the one on BudK. We have it hung at the end of our hall but it may get moved. BudK used to offer deals a lot where I could get discounts &/or free shipping but a couple years ago they started offering good deals a lot less. $46.99 for the mek'leth is still aLOT cheaper than $200 thou. I've always had to use my credit-card to pay there but a while back I found out I can use PayPal on my phone but I don't have the option to use PayPal when I use Firefox on my desktop, odd. I'll post links now just incase anyone is interested

Deanna was pretty hot when she wore dresses I thought Jadzia had a hotter body but Ezri was cuter in looks & personality. If I was mostly wanting a sexual thing I would pick Jadzia but Ezri would be a much better choice for me with having a romantic relationship. Thou Kes & Hoshi would of been good choices as well & Kes did look a bit hotter when she changed some & started having longer hair. 7 did have a hot body in a tight catsuit & her character was very interesting but not really a good match for me or my type.

I heard on the DVD extras for TNG that Marina Sirtis originally auditioned for the part of of Tasha & Denise Crosby auditioned for the part of Deanna & Gene got the idea to swap em. It was probably a good thing since Denise decided to leave the show, I don't know why she wanted to. Tasha leaving/getting killed allowed Worf's part to step up some.

Definitely in my top 10 scenes
"Tuvok I understand you are a Vulcan man, you have just gone without for seven years.. about. Paris please find a way, to load the hypospray, I will give you the sign, just aim for his behind"

^ Agreed!

I just netflixed all seasons of Voyager, will probably finish the last season of Deep Space 9 in another week or so. Then going to watch all seasons of TNG. Star Trek is really the only thing I watch anymore, and since I especially started watching it when I ate while working from home, it's now like I feel weird if I eat and I'm not watching it.

^ YES
I am the same way. I started watching things whenever I ate when I first lived alone, now many years later I can't break the habit --it feels too strange not to (maybe I shouldn't do this once there are children to raise ). I have rewatched Star Trek so many times but I never get bored of it. I'm about to finish another watch of TNG, then onto VOY and DS9 .

They are showing DS9 again, over here. I think Quark is the show-stealer.

I found this on a blog so thought I'd share.

Did our furry friend have something to do with this?
