Perhaps as we come close to OCT. 31, Halloween ('Day of the Dead' OR what may better be called 'Day of Fear')-- it is interesting to observe what all the dramatization of the collective psyche that exists at this time of year. As I walk around my…

May you or some one could post a few Trekky quotes, my computer doesn't play linked videos right now, it's old and needs to go eventually)... hey, I did find a few quotes from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" tv series... here's just one (from "Nightmares" episode, n.d.)...
Buffy has encountered the Master Vampire (a horrific looking creature) and Master Vampire says to her: "Fear is a wonderful thing. It's the most powerful force in the world, not love, not hate, fear.

Hi Veronika,

I did take notes and quotes a few times. I'll have to find those and post them.
