   If I want something for a lot less than usual I'll check out auctions.   
   Ordinarily though I just check the buy it now sales to see if anything   
   is interesting.

        Adventures of Link is really a game that needs to be played for a   
   while with no interruptions.  When I picked it up again in the Gamecube   
   Collector's edition I got through the first two castles and haven't   
   picked it up since.

   I agree completely.  The most interesting episodes for me where the ones   
   with Worf and the Klingons.

   That one actually is bad, Andromeda I think.  Crusade had an all new   
   cast and a seriously awesome premise.  Enterprise has Scott Bacula   
   (Quantum Leap) and that's about it for recognizable actors.

   This year it was the writer's strike.  For the last ten years it has   
   been the incessant need to increase earnings year over year that has   
   driven the mediocrity.
