WOW DRAC WAY TO NOT HOP ABOARD THE BUY-ON-FIRST-DAY BANDWAGON, MY GOSH.
And here is a picture of a bunny.

I can see where drac is coming from.
It didnt really give an indication of what was in the spoiler tags,AND how here in RT we abuse the ***out of spoiler tags the wrong way 2385462756 times a day >_> His point would be much more valid as well if the game just came out too, but it's been out awhile. If one cared that much one'd have played it by now.
Guess I should stop using the internet so,because I have games from within the last 10 years still to play!

Jane Eyre finished. I think I've changed my mind in regards to my original judgement of the book. It was boring, this is true. But, there were so many fascinating elements within, particularly the way it acts as the perfect transition piece between Romantic and Victorian periods. It had some great quotes and a lot of in-depth metaphors. So... I liked it, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Yah, you got that, and she was the new Governess to teach the children, a girl and a boy, after the "death" of the mother. Sound right?

In JE, she was a governess, but she was only teaching a little French girl named Adele whose mother pawned her off on the guy that she claims was the father. Also, her mom didn't die. So... close, but no cigar.

Verdict is in, from Memory Alpha, so gather around:
(spoiler is about Star Trek) Quote: The holonovel's final permutation in this episode seems to borrow elements from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, and Henry James' The Turn of the Screw.
Jeri Taylor intended for the holonovel to be set at some point between the 1840s and 1850s. (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, p. 18)

Chakotay was/is my favorite on the show.

Get the *** out
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
