As a single-issue voter on the Forrest Gump controversy, Kimberly has my vote & was wise to drop Daly from her ticket for that reason alone. I'm not bothered with her stance on Deanna Troi, but politically I'd advise her to avoid discussing the half-human, half-Betazoid aspect, for fear of being mis-labeled as speciest (which is worse than "weird"). But it still doesn't really address the elephant in that room & larger point there - that Voyager was far superior to Next Generation.

Minor disagreement on the Chic fries, as I'm hoping she'd at least admit they SMELL delicious. Finally - as Robert A George recently did, she also needs to add being anti-Imagine to her platform. If her merch includes an "Imagine" t-shirt with a big red X through it, I would definitely wear it & generally expect her merch sales would increase afterwards.

I actually thought Deana Troi looked better in the latter seasons when they had her wear a regular uniform, and gave her some command training, rather than have her being obvious over-the-top eye candy.

By the way, Deep Space Nine was the second best Star Trek series, second only to the the Original Series. One of the reasons I disagree with Kimberly on Forrest Gump, is the the film developed the technology to insert characters from Deep Space Nine in an episode of The Original Series (The Trouble With Tribbles / Trials and Tribbulations).

I do agree with her on Titanic though - it was all the rage when it came out, now I don't care.

Lastly, on the chic fil a issue - I do like their fries, but I LOVE their sandwiches, so I typically skip the fries, and get two sandwiches - deluxe, no cheese.

One other thing Kimberly 100% nailed - the 2 worst months are absolutely January & August. I thought I was the only one.

Now that you mention it, I did too.

I think I liked it the least, to be honest.
