The old episodes never took place because of what happens in the movie, which I must admit is a clever way of getting out of consistency problems (not that it stopped some of the hardcore fans from trying to find some… *rolleyes* ).

I've never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory. (The first time I heard about it, a friend said he's going and I asked if they give free samples like at Hershey's Chocolate Factory.) I saw Star Trek in a regular theater and didn't notice the camera jerking around the place. I understand your annoyance with fans nitpicking on every detail, but as you acknowledge there are major plot holes in this film. *** SPOILER ALERT (skip to the next paragraph if you haven't seen the film yet): The biggest question I have is did all the television shows and movies that we saw happen, or did they retroactively never take place? *** The onion has funny stuff. I used to subscribe to their podcasts - before I dropped off the face of the earth. I enjoyed the show. I’ve never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory.

We can certainly get behind that! As for schnitzel, anything involving German-inspired food is fine with Greg, for the most part...especially spaetzle...mmm... :) Thanks for the comment--we're glad to hear from you! T.R.

Many years ago Denny’s opened in Sydney (and failed) and I recall a TGI Friday’s for about 3 weeks one year in Melbourne but it’s gone too. I’d guess that most of the reason is that generally for that kind of decent-but-not-outstanding-quality, know-what-you’re-going-to-get, family atmosphere dining we go to pubs – of which we have approximately 1 for every 5 people in the country. Although most are owned individually (or might be part of a small chain of half a dozen owned by the same person) they share some common traits including similar menus (every pub worth the name does a schnitzel meal of some sort for example) (don’t ask me how schnitzels have come to represent everything Australian ‘cos I have no idea). There are a few local chains of ‘speciality’ dining restaurant (e.g. there’s an Italian chain in the city I live in) but they’re generally cuisine-specific and fairly regional. The only place I have ever been to a restaurant other than the US with those menus as thick as a magazine that serve every conceivable kind of meal was in Germany and it was in a town that serviced a large US Army base.
