Bon voyage to Voyager... The show's finale was last night. On a 1-5 scale, I would put it at about a 3.5... Not the best Voyager episode ever, not even CLOSE to the best Star Trek episode ever, but entertaining and better than most of Voyager's episodes, and a good way to end the show, besides. Apparently they're gearing up to make a Voyager movie (which would be really weird, I mean, they just got rid of the show's premise,) and a new Star Trek show. But that's now show number 5! Surely enough is enough?!

In other Hollywood news, I saw Memento on the weekend, at Kelly's recommendation. I really liked it, but it wasn't at all what I expected. I knew something about it -- guy loses ability to make short-term memories, movie plays out backwards -- but hadn't mentally put it into the Usual-Lock-Stock-and-Two-Smoking-Suspects category where it belongs. This is not a movie for a light evening of escapist entertainment, but a surprising, off-balance mental gymnastics drama. Pretty good, in fact, although I have to agree with the New York Times columnist who called it ephemeral.

Tomorrow night is the Exultate Chamber Singers fun-draiser at the Arts and Letters Club on Elm Street. I hope to see y'all there!
