This one, perhaps? http://kamil.slashcity.com/colby.html
No, I didn't do that -- to either of those two images.
Honest. <weg>
I did sharpen them and adjust the gamma levels a bit in
Photoshop--the captures are *incredibly* poor quality, so I
could only improve them so much, and I removed the wench
completely in the one; she was interfering with my view.
This surprises you how? <g>
Btw, the page will only be there a few days, so if you want
the pics for yourself, save quickly. <g>
Kamil, think of it as a ballet kata <eg>

Based on Lance's copious postings here and on other HL forums, it's not
intended as a parody. Since you've been fortunate enough to miss those I
can see why you'd think it is. It is absurd, due to ineptitude not intent.
The problem is Lance has repeatedly argued his "movement" is real and that
these events actually took place. Also, there is nothing anywhere on his
pages in the way of a "this is for fun" disclaimer.

That's mostly what people have been doing. I wonder if that's why he's
come up with this latest "tragedy". He needed a new bit to attention.

The one tape in my set that is not up to snuff in quality :::whimper:::
:::sniffle::: I can't remember exactly which one, but it is very close to
the middle of the season, and IIRC a tad to the early side of middle, and
yes, it is when replacements for the sister are being auditioned. (Every
time I watch ST:NG I think about how Nana Visitor got to dance with him in
that lovely silver thing... and, well... other things she got to do, too.)
Nina (I think) --

Yes, very odd. The pool of actresses that could do a Russian accent, dance
ballet a little, etc., might not have been too many at the time... or many
other things, who knows. I keep thinking I've seen this actresss in other
things and the only place I can come up with is the girl that got cut in
"Unforgiven." I've not checked the names, so I'm not sure this is her.
Anyone know for sure?
BTW, I think there were several scenes where this actress was on block(s)
to get her closer to Adrian's height. Anyone else think this?
Dorothy again --

I remember one scene beyond the yummy :::slurp::: blue speedo'd yet silly
dialogued proposal by (and in <eg>) the pool. There was some dinner event
where Kolya, Bliss and others of the Colby kids and significant others were
sitting finely attired at a table. Kolya let it slip that he and Bliss
were engaged -- "Ooops, cat out of the box." And then a brief scene of him
doing the Russian crouched dancing (well, more like in crab-walk position)
and falling on his butt. Upon seeing that, the SO of one of the Colby sons
(I never could keep all the other characters straight) said, "He's cute
when he drinks." Much of this scene takes place while the beginning
credits for the episode roll -- very annoying. :)

Hi again,
Sorry to have to bother you with a followup of my own post, but...
wanted to apologize for my sloppy editing at the beginning -- I was in too
much of a hurry.
Also, I know very well that Nana Visitor was in ST:DS9, not ST:NG. Sorry I
typed it wrong... again, I was in a hurry (I gotta stop that).
I also checked the IMDB and found that Kolya's sister Anna Rostov was
played by Anna Levine aka Anna Thompson aka a few other variations who also
played Delilah Fitzgerald in "Unforgiven."
Back to the regularly scheduled whatever it was.

*snerk*
Seems a few innocent-as-the-driven-snow types think that I
turned the, erm, most interesting of those three pics into
porn, by wickedly altering it with Photoshop. Not likely,
I'm not *that* good. Yet.
Most importantly, in this case, it *so* wasn't necessary.
<weg>
At any rate, all three originals are now side by side with
the tidied-up versions, if you'd like to see for yourselves.

I think this is the PW/JB episode -- it will air on Sci-Fi on 4/21 at
9 pm EDT/PDT (check listings as some west coast cable companies still
carry the east coast feed.)
In other alumni (and Reunion guest) news, Ocean Hellman was recently
seen on The Outer Limits episode "The Surrogate" (apparently TOL
really liked Ocean in the pregnancy suit in "Gettysburg" so they
brought her back to wear it again) and Anthony De Longis appeared
briefly in last night's episode "The Vessel." These are the new
episodes now airing on Sci-Fi, and I'm sure they will rerun.

I didn't see the movie Titanic for several reasons, one being that I
*really* don't like Leo DeCaprio. And from what I read, the character
of Rose was too wimpy. Anyway, to me, it's a historical event. That
doesn't mean that I don't watch historical type movies, but one in which
I know most every one dies? nah... not for me.

I thought of that as well. Sheeesh, can you just see the headlines?

This is true. Speaking of apologies, I am in no way upset with
Kamil or Jen for their comments on how funny they thought the page
was. Admittedly, I am very punchy when it comes to hate crimes. I
nor anyone I know personally have never been the victim of such violence,
but I find it appalling that it's the 21st century and the human race *still*
can't seem to get along. ::shaking head::

Either they were afraid they'd scare the viewers or they didn't want

okay.. so I do have my shallow moments. :-) and nope, I don't watch
Farscape. But since Henson's creature shop does Farscape and has
worked with ILM, it's not surprising.

I've met the Weasel in person and lived to tell about it.
