Marina says,"Hi everybody! I just logged on!"
Marina says,"I suppose you guys realise that I got wormed last week"
Mrs._Dorn says,"so...any stories to tell about how Marina conquered the virus? *ggg*"
Marina says,"I am presuming everythings ok-but just in case it isn't we have back up today"
Mrs._Dorn says,"wow...now see, I would never have thought about that"
Marina says,"My husband came to the rescue and fixed the computer"
Mrs._Dorn says,"is he good with his hands with everything"
Jim says,"How did he fix it Marina?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"okay, everyone, mind out of the gutter or however the expression goes!"
Marina says,"I don't know how he fixed it. Remember I'm totally computer illiterate"
Mrs._Dorn says,"I meant...well...motors, comps...you know"
Marina says,"As to what he does with his hands - thats my business and not appropriate for the chatroom lol!"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Say, did you notice how much Michael looks like Jack Nicholson on that picture you [ut in the gallery? It's really scary"
Katze says,"are you typing yourself today, marina?"
Marina says,"How dare you say my husband looks like Jack Nicholson lol"
Mrs._Dorn says,"it that an offensive nowadays? *lol* But really, it's true!"
Marina says,"Once and for all I never type myself"
Marina says,"Question for Mrs. Dorn. Why are you Mrs. Dorn?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"which reminds me, Marina, how're the restaurant going? No one poisened yet?"
Moonshade says,"She is more like "Mrs. Dorn in practice*"
Marina says,"The restaurant is doing very well. knock on wood "
izzy says,"question for a friend...Marina, which is your fav NextGen flick and why?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"but...I'm Mrs. Dorn to give everyone a laugh...Mr Dorn excluded since 'he's not here ;)"
Marina says,"My favorite was First Contact. I thought it had everything humor and action and you cared about what happened to the characters"
Katze says,"Marina, what's the last thing you bought for yourself?"
Marina says,"I haven't made any major purchases recently but I did buy some clothes last week"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Now..I'm being serious here (yes, not to fear) Marina, how would you describe yourself?"
Marina says,"sorry. I think I'm a wacky, zany, kind of person. A little impatient and quick tempered, although I don't hold a grudge "
Glory says,"Marina, how did you feel, being a role model for so many girls and women?"
Marina says,"Being a role model was not something I ever imagined I would be. But as it has happened I try my best to keep my name out of the tabloids and comport myself like a lady lol"
Jim says,"Wish I could get the same type of news on my book...lol"
Marina says,"Jim, is your book finished?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"On the point of rolemodels...Marina,What’s the negative side of being a celebrity? *ggg*"
Lauren says,"Marina, if you could change anything about your past, would you or are you happy with the way things have turned out?"
Jim says,"The book is finished Marina, in fact I finished a second one, just waiting for a publisher to snatch it up."
Moonshade says,"I'm sure she doesn't believe in regrets!"
Glory says,"Marina, a friend wanted me to ask: if you were offered a part in a sop opera, would you accept?"
Marina says,"Really, I don't have any negatives with my success. If it wasn't fun then no one would want to become famous. I have no patience with celebrities who complain about their life. They should pack it all in and go live in obscurity if they don't like it."
Doree says,"Hi, Marina! Since you've been talking about book writing, I think it would be cool if you would write a book of love letters that Troi and Riker could have sent to each other after they parted ways before being reunited on the Enterprise!"
Marina says,"I would go onto a soap if they asked me - if I found the part exciting and Moonshade you're right, I don't believe in regrets "
ligo_Emma_do says,"Marina, since you really didn't have any holidays, do you have any trip planned for a near future?"
Marina says,"Doree, not only do you have items for personal hygiene, but you have good ideas too"
Marina says,"I don't have any trips planned until next summer, when I'm going to Greece for the Olympics"
Lauren says,"Marina, would you be interested in doing another cruise if they asked you to?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"btw, Marina, after living in LA for so long, does Greece feel terrible hot? Or are you one of those person who tolerates heath very well? :)"
Glory says,"Marina, can you tell us more about your latest project?"
Marina says,"Well of course we do have our hearts in our mouths, but we're hoping that everything will be finished. Personally I have somewhere to stay so I'm fine "
Marina says,"I would do a cruise if it was going somewhere really great, and if the boat was new and fab. "
Marina says,"I can never be too hot"
Doree says,"Marina, who has picked up the most slang from the other, you from your husband or he from you?"
Marina says,"Everyone who gets to know me ends up picking up my slang-my fellow cast members included"
Marina says,"I finished Threat Matrix last Thursday. Some of the stuff I had to do was pretty gruesome. Once the episode has aired, I have a photograph that I'll post which will freak you guys out."
Mrs._Dorn says,"Marina, in terms of length, what's the longest you've had your hair? (this especially for Kat of course)"
Marina says,"The longest my hair has ever been is four inches below my shoulders"
Marina says,"Mrs. Dorn, are you German, and have we met?"
Doree says,"Marina, what room in your house is your favorite?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"We have met and nope, I'm not German"
Kat says,"why is everyone supposed to be german? *ts*"
Marina says,"My kitchen"
Lauren says,"Marina, have you ever though about scuba diving?"
Marina says,"No, I'm pretty scared of the water"
Marina says,"It's not a reputation thing - I know I have a lot of German fans, and that they come to the chat"
Glory says,"Marina, how do you watch your health?"
Lauren says,"yeah, see, I'm the opposite ... I don't mind being in the water with everything, I just don't like being on boats"
Mrs._Dorn says,"oh..btw, did your fear of heights lessen over the years? Or is it just staying the same?"
Marina says,"I don't like being on boats either"
Moonshade_*backwithavenegance* says,"If you get seasick, you can't be on any boat"
Marina says,"Glory, actually I'm pretty bad health-wise. I eat a lot of fatty foods, and sweets and don't excersize enough. At least I don't smoke anymore, and I don't drink. "
Mrs._Dorn says,"Only when in Europe, right?"
Marina says,"I do get seasick"
Glory says,"Marina, finally quit again, ha?;)"
Marina says,"Ok, I'm busted. I do smoke in Europe, but not in America"
Fred27 says,"Marina, if you want to improve your health, just come to Kenya. Here, there is no huge super markets."
Marina says,"Don't ask me how I do that"
Moonshade_*backwithavenegance* says,"Is it a rule that everyone who's afraid of heigts gets seasick, too?"
Marina says,"Fred, supermarkets are not my problem. Cooking is my problem"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Marina, do you prefer to drive (car) or be driven?"
Marina says,"I like driving my car. I don't like driving Michael's hummer, because I'm scared I'll ding it."
Mrs._Dorn says,"You mean like Arnie Swarz right? "
Lauren says,"Marina, has he ever gone on terrain you wouldn't want him to go on while you were in the car?"
Marina says,"It's an H2 which is slightly smaller than Arnolds"
Marina says,"No, he does his off-roading with his friends"
Mrs._Dorn says,"what color, now that we're at it? *g*"
Jim says,"Speaking of Arnold-what do you think of the chances Gray Davis will be recalled?"
Marina says,"his car is pewter, mine is black"
Marina says,"Jim, I think Davis will be re-called, and I think Arnold will be our next governor"
Fred27 says,"Marina, I just caught Nemesis on DVD when I was in London. Please tell me that they have a new version will be coming out. I hated Stuart Bairds commentary"
Marina says,"That is the only DVD that is available"
Lauren says,"what do you think of them getting some of the things that they did?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"oh. I read an atricle in which Dorn stated that he could see another TNG movie being made?"
Doree says,"Marina, what is your take on the political goings-on in California?"
Marina says,"I'm a little pissed off with California politics right now"
Marina says,"Mrs. D, don't believe everything you read"
Doree says,"Marina, what would you do to straighten the politics out?"
Fred27 says,"Marina, please tell me that you will do a comment on Nemesis for the fans!"
Marina says,"Fred, I have never been asked to do a commentary"
Glory says,"Marina, who in your opinion was the best director on tng/movies?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Marina, are you a habit-beast? *hopes that's the right expression*"
Doree says,"Marina, what would you do to straighten the politics out?"
Marina says,"I'd get rid of all the special interests. It costs so much money to run for office that by the time someone's elected they spend the next four years paying back favors"
Lauren says,"Marina, what are the chances of a convention in the mideastern part of the us?"
Marina says,"Without any doubt, Jonathon was the best director we ever had"
Marina says,"Yes, I do have my routine"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Marina, is there a difference between European and American conventions? If yes, what? *curios*"
Marina says,"As of now, I don't have any conventions booked. The difference between US and European conventions is that the european are usually fan run and consequently a little more personal"
Marina says,"I'm now trying to pacify Moonshade. Fed Con is the best convention of all "
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"Ooooh, thank you!!!! "
Marina says,"Moon, was that sincere or are you being bratty?"
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"... and the post Fed-Con madness is even better! Make sure you won't miss it next time, Marina!"
Glory says,"Marina, if you had a chance to host a daily or a night show, who would you have as guests?"
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"I am never ever bratty, of course!"
Marina says,"What is the post Fed-Con madness?"
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"The best part of the Con - the PAAARTY!"
Marina says,"I would have the people that I admire. Pete Sampras, Tiger Woods, Alannis Morrissette, Bon Jovi, Robert De Niro, and that would just be the first week lol!"
Marina says,"Mrs. D, I figured out who you are"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Oi...does that mean that I'm in trouble....or do you like me now? :p”
Doree says,"Marina, what would be your top three questions you'd ask your guests?"
Marina says,"Well, I think the questions would have to be appropriate to each guest."
Marina says,"One question I would ask each of them would be, would you like to be my new best friend?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Erm...Marina...just what did you pick up from playing a weapon specialist? *gulp*"
Stormy says,"Marina, do you ever have any fans that figure out where you live and try to scope the place out ... kind of like the people who buy those maps of LA to see peoples houses?"
Marina says,"Biological weapons to be exact. People die a nasty death if any death is other than nasty"
Doree says,"Earlier, you were talking about the pros and cons of being a celeb. What do you think the biggest misconception people have about the acting profession?"
Marina says,"I don't think I'm on that map"
Marina says,"but some people have found my house. Its a little disconcerting."
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"@ Marina: Ever got photographed by someone while eating in a restaurant???"
Marina says,"The biggest mis-conception is that its hard work. I'm probably going to get killed by my fellow actors, but I think Laurence Olivier said it best, I act for free. I get paid for waiting around."
Marina says,"No, although I'm sure some fans have photographed me eating at conventions, and there is nothing wrong with KFC"
Stormy says,"I get paid to sit around a pool and get tan ... ;-)"
Marina says,"Stormy, I'd love that job"
ignore_me_Kat says,"I don't get paid and have to listen to all problems of the world"
Marina says,"Kat, I have to listen to peoples problems too, and don't get paid for it either"
Mrs._Dorn says,"oh, I have one last q...it's actually someone else's but she didn't want to ask it...Marina, if it's ot too personal; what's the very first memory you have?"
Glory says,"Marina, what other jobs did you have before you started acting?"
Marina says,"My first memory is of falling down the stairs when I was 18 months old. The first day I tried to walk on my own"
Mrs._Dorn says,"hence a fear of heights huh? oi"
Marina says,"Well acting was the only career I ever had. But I have worked in a factory, in canteens serving food, as a theatre usherette, in retail, although I hate selling so my job was usually to keep the shop tidy"
Marina says,"Mrs. D, you're a genius. I never made the connection"
ignore_me_Kat says,"okay, another dumb question from me (and chatroom, please don't throw me out again): what's in your refrigorator right now?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"oh, did you have the other surgery yet?"
Marina says,"My refrigerator is always full of food. Either left over or waiting to be cooked "
Stormy says,"Marina, what's your favorite dish to cook?"
Marina says,"No, I had to re-schedule my other surgery for next week"
Marina says,"I don't have a favorite dish. I like to cook Greek food, and I love to bake."
Stormy says,"Marina, do you have anything else lined up?"
Marina says,"No, but things turn up at thte last minute usually"
Stormy says,"If you don't mind my asking, what's a normal day for you (outside of acting/work)?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"Does Skilaki take after you Marina"
izzy says,"Marina, heard from any of 'the crew' lately like*cough* Frakes*?"
Marina says,"I think Skilaki takes after his dad they're both blonde and shaggy"
Mrs._Dorn says,"does Skilaki look like Jack Nicholson too? :D"
Marina says,"I haven't seen Jonathon since May. He's really busy directing Thunderbirds. In fact I'm glad you reminded me, I'm going to call him"
Glory says,"Marina, how did you get Skilaki?"
Marina says,"Mrs. D you're pushing your luck. lol"
izzy says,"tell him his No. 1 fan said 'hey ;)"
Marina says,"Michael bought me Skilaki for Valentines day 12 years ago"
ignore_me_Kat says,"it's one thing to offend her husband, but it's a big mistake to offend her dog :p"
Marina says,"Kat you got that right"
Korg says,"You know, I've noticed that every new Trek series lags a bit than the one it preceeded. And TNG has more viewers in syndication that Kirk and Co."
izzy says,"Just like Frakes said, 'its the best series dammit'!"
Marina says,"Izzy, I'll make sure Genie doesn't know how you feel"
Marina says,"I don't think any show is ever going to surpass TNG's numbers. Only 3 million people tune in to Enterprise, 20 million watch TNG "
Mrs._Dorn says,"Although...Enterprise isn't on he air here yet"
Marina says,"It may never be on the air there"
izzy says,"Any ideas on what TPTB should do for Star Trek?" 0
Marina says,"No Doree, I think reality TV is probably the worst idea anyone ever had and it irks me that so many people watch it. I just want to say I have never watched reality television. Not even the Bachelor"
Marina says,"Izzy what is TPTB?"
Moonshade_*royallypissed* says,"Didn't Michael Dorn play his own grandfather in one of the films?"
Mrs._Dorn says,"The Powers That Be"
Doree says,"I agree, totally about reality TV, Marina. All of those shows are a complete waste of one brain cell. It is just another example of the dumbing down of the TV audience."
Marina says,"Yes, Dorny played his own Grandfather in Star Trek 6"
Marina says,"The problem with reality television is that its cheap and a lot of idiots want their 15 minutes of fame"
Stormy says,"Marina, if they did another celebrity Fear Factor, which you know they're bound to do, would you do it?"
Marina says,"Oh Fear Factor is gross!"
Marina says,"No, I think it would be hypocritical of me to knock reality television and then take part in it besides eating thingyroaches is not my thing"
Marina says,"I was censored on my own website!"
Marina says,"I'm making a decree, from this day forward ass will be acceptible in my chat room"
izzy says,"does she know who DD is?"
Marina says,"Yes, I know who DD is"
Doree says,"Marina, I think you, and the five other tng cast members, should do a week on Hollywood Squares. You, of course, would be the Center Square."
Marina says,” I would do Hollywood squres because it’s a game and it’s fun”
Marina says,"OK, my neck is beginning to hurt. So I'm going to log off. Don't forget to watch Pete Sampras official retirement at the US Open tonight. Its the end of an era. We will never see his like again. Peace."
Marina says,"Good-Bye! I just logged off!"
