While I wouldn't exactly say that I'm _impressed_, I do have to admit that I found this season to be far more bearable than what I had seen during the first season. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/03\/04\/enterprise-2\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/03\/04\/saw\/\">Saw<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Rick brought over Saw last night for me to watch.

I wasn't sure what to expect for an answer, but apparently the author did a surprisingly good job of translating the Myers-Briggs questions to a Star Trek format, as I ended up scoring as an ISFP -- the same result as when I took an online version of the actual Myers-Briggs test! <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/03\/04\/star-trek-personality-test\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/03\/04\/the-tide-is-turning\/\">The Tide is Turning<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">This is a song originally from Roger Waters' album 'Radio K.A.O.S.', though I first heard it as the finale to the 1991 live performance of The Wall in Berlin.
