Quote of the Day

Odo: By the way, your gagh has arrived.

Ezri Dax: My what…? Oh, no.

Odo: Oh, yes. And it’s waiting for you in cargo bay 2.

Kira Nerys: Your gagh?

Ezri Dax: Jadzia ordered it. She was planning a party for Martok’s birthday next week.

Kira Nerys: How much gagh did she order?

Odo: Fifty-one cases.

Ezri Dax: Each containing a different variety.

Kira Nerys: There are varieties of gagh?

Ezri Dax: Oh, yes. I can remember what each one tastes like. And the way they feel when you… swallow them. Torgud gagh wiggles. Filden gagh squirms. Meshta gagh jumps… …Bithool gagh has feet. Flush it out the airlock. All of it.

Odo: Environmental regulations.

Kira Nerys: Well, why don’t you just give it to Martok?

Ezri Dax: He’d insist on sharing it with me, as a point of honor. Wistan gagh is packed in Targ blood… I have to go now.

Review: Into the Woods

The production of Into the Woods has been a series of ups and downs for theatre fans around the world.  The film’s mere existence is worthy of excitement, but the presence of Disney overseeing the relatively mature Stephen Sondheim musical was cause for concern.  Sondheim’s involvement (along with the original show writer James Lapine) allayed some fears, but his interviews caused a lot of confusion about what changes had been made, what songs had been cut, and how “family friendly” the film had been made.  The A-list cast and director Rob Marshall brought some Hollywood glamor to the movie, and all that remained was to wait and see how it turned out.  The end result is a fairly faithful, extremely well made adaptation of a musical that is perhaps better suited for stage rather than screen.

“All the same, we should get to bed,” whispered Hermione. “It wouldn’t do to oversleep tomorrow.”
“No,” agreed Ron. “A brutal triple murder by the bridegroom’s mother might put a bit of a damper on the wedding.”

Quote of the Day

‘She is remarkably dry,’ he said to Stephen who, preferring to die in the open, had crept up on deck, had been made fast to a stanchion and who now stood, mute, sodden and appalled, behind him.
‘Eh?’
‘She – is – remarkably – dry.’
Stephen frowned impatiently: this was no time for trifling.

Quote of the Day

Ezri Dax: At first, it struck me as a little… peculiar. But after I thought it over, I began to think that this might be a good sign after all.

Quark: How can hiding in one of Julian’s adolescent programs be a good sign?

Julian Bashir: Hey…

Jake Sisko: It could be worse. He could be hiding in the Alamo program.

Leeta: Or that ridiculous secret agent program.

Julian Bashir: Hey…

Rom: Or that stupid Viking program!

Julian Bashir: HEY!
