I think you've another version over there. Dancing With the Stars is the name of it, and my God, I don't think I'm ever going to be able to forgive myself for knowing that. There's some piece of knowledge has been crowded out by that information, and the knowledge of who the Kardashians are.

[ Wow, are they seriously bonding over reality tv now. ]

Have you tried watching any of the media here? It's almost as good. Future space stand-up has some real zingers, let me tell you.

[Was there ever going to be any way to get them bonding]

Is that sarcasm?

The definition of.

Although sadly some of the science jokes are kind of good, if entirely theoretical from my standpoint.

Brilliant. And the rest, no doubt, are variations upon "a man walks into a spacebar," aren't they.

Probably? It's kind of like running a joke in Czech through babelfish. The words are there, but who knows what the hell the punchline is.

Well, sometimes you can piece it together. At least if you know a bit of Czech. Not that it helps here, since I speak zero astrophysics. I suppose that's one of the languages you've got?

Sort of? Only as a hobby, I wouldn't say I'm fluent. I clearly haven't figured out a way off of the S.S. Event Horizon, but seeing as Tony Stark and Spock haven't managed it either, my ego's not too bruised.

Hold on - Spock is here? As in, THE Spock?

The one and only. Well, sort of. He's not quite Nimoy, but he's the real deal.

Right. As if it weren't enough that we have Luke Skywalker and the Doctor. Hell. It's stressful.

The Doctor? As in capital D blue box Doctor?

That's what Mitchell said, though I've not seen him myself. If it's the case, I feel quite cheated. We ought to have been rescued by now.

Sadly physics seem slightly less re-writable here than they are on TV. Otherwise yes, I'd completely agree with you. Do you know which one?

I don't, but I'm hoping desperately it's not the Seventh.

[ Man he's not even that hardcore, he mostly just watched the new stuff. The science was so bad anyway, it was like a migraine. So, in the true fashion of someone who doesn't actually have an opinion, he agrees. ]

Yes, that would be awful.

It's stressful, though, don't you think? Being confronted with all these iconic childhood figures?

You should've been here for Trekgate. I only had one pair of jeans at the time and I very nearly urinated all over them.

[ charming yes ]

A bit too much information, there, mate. What was Trekgate, some sort of Star Trek/Stargate crossover?

Actually still a zero on the Stargates. But no, no crossovers, just accidentally discussing the death of Captain Kirk on a public channel.

[A pause.]

So you're telling me you actually violated the Prime Directive at Captain Kirk.

Accidentally.

[ But oh my god he never thought of it that way, thanks George. ]

He was fine with it.

How was it accidental? Did you dial him from your pocket as you were discussing that film? Which was rubbish, really.

That's what I told him. That the film was rubbish, I mean. Except less British.

And I was having a private conversation with someone else on the network that just happened to be public. It's not my fault Starfleet apparently has google alerts set up on their names.

A private conversation that just happened to be public. Right.

[George wants to be snotty...except some day he's going to end up doing that. He just knows it.]

I don't suppose we have a Picard?
