Spock's Star Trek topic

One of my favorite moments in Star Trek just happened...

"The Cardassians are firing on the other Dominion ships"

Then there's:

"I want the Cardassians killed"

"Which ones"

"All of them"

"That will take some time"
 
You know, I think its kind of funny that the beginning of DS9 was absolutely horrible. I mean the first season or two are downright horrible. Somehow though it ended up being as good as TNG. I think it was all the action the Dominion War provided.
 
[quote name='2Fast']What channel did DS9 come on when it first premiered, UPN?[/quote]

I think it was just in syndication. DS9 came out in 1993 IIRC and UPN didn't come out until 1995 IIRC. Voyager was the first Star Trek show featured on UPN.
 
I wish DDD would have another sale on Paramount DVDs already, I want to complete my TNG movie collection (just need Generations and Nemesis, but don't want to pay full-price for sub-par movies).

I'm too cheap to want to pay for it at all. I wish there were some legal way to own them for free...
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']Tomorrow starts the DS9 reboot. I'm glad Spike is showing them in order.[/quote]

Whoa, really? I need to set the DVR asap... It would be nice to have the season sets but it's alittle too pricey for my tastes...

You could do like I used to do and just record them off of TV when they are shown. It's not the best quality but it gets the job done.

Sisko, women, beach, bikinis - are you watching the Thong Song music video?

You mean the scene with Picard, right?


CocheseUGA, I was talking about the first DS9 episode they werre showing on Spike. There is a "flashback" scene with Ben Sisko and his future wife Jennifer on the beach. It had been awhile since I had seen that episode.

Yeah. I understand why he would be mad at Picard, but it's kind of silly considering Picard is really no more responsible than he is for the incident.

Yeah.

I guess he just refused to accept the fact that Picard was absolutely powerless to resist the Borg's control.
 
Last night I was thinking about the villains in all the Star Trek movies (the movies that have main villains anyway) and I decided to list them in order from strongest to weakest (all in my opinion, of course).

1. Khan - The Wrath of Khan - Without a doubt the strongest villain.
2. Borg/Borg Queen - First Contact - The Queen is a plot device, but the Borg are bad.
3. Kruge - The Search for Spock - Underrated. Kills Kirks son and is well-acted by Christopher Lloyd.
4. Chang - The Undiscovered Country - Lack of presence in film hurts his standing.
5. Ru'afo - Insurrection - Ranked fifth by default. Mostly wasted use of Oscar winning actor.
6. Shinzon - Nemesis - Copy of Khan. Well-acted but stupid.
7. Sybock/Evil Entity - The Final Frontier - Sybock isn't really a villain and the Evil Entity is lame.
8. Soren - Generations - Weak, boring. This panzy was the man who killed Kirk, some wussy scientist? Give me a break.

I neglected The Motion Picture and The Voyage Home since they did not have real villains, so to speak.

He did have Lursa and B'Etor in his employ though. Just incase someone hasn't seen it yet...

It's a shame that Lursa and B'Etor were killed off. They could have been put to great use in future DS9 episodes or even as the main villains in another Trek movie.

That's true but they did manage
to destory the enterprise D, which many tried to do but they finally succeeded. So its not like they went out like a bunch of punks either though.

The Dominion War helped, but it was the decision in season 2 to take their head out of the sand and actually create something interesting.

For two seasons, DS9 was plagued by awful, pointless stories. Some of this was setup, which is inevitable for any series. But some of it was because they were trying to treat DS9 like Trek as usual.

But DS9 being a station limited this. You can't do "something weird happens to the station" every week. They hadn't even clocked one season when it started getting ridiculous taking trips to "nearby" planets.

So they had to make the story come to the station, and not with the typical alien civilization/medical disaster/wacky phenomena of the week. To do this, they really had to develop the political situation on Bajor, on Cardassia, and through the wormhole.

This is where I think Voyager (especially) and Enterprise fell down, and why I hope they really think about what they want to accomplish before beginning a new series. Voyager was probably a reaction to plot-heavy DS9, but it went too far. Enterprise didn't go far enough away from Voyager's model, and by the time they realized this, it was too late.

Good point.

[quote name='CocheseUGA']All the time I'm playing NFS last night, all that repeats in my head is:

Ablative Armor[/quote]

:lol:

Lursa and B'Etor are on DS9 right now. Klingon kleavage FTW. :lol:
 
I think it's kind of silly the holodeck almost kills someone every time they have a holodeck episode. If it's that unsafe why do they use it?
 
[quote name='2Fast']Anyone watching the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner?[/quote]

I forgot about it. I'm watching Venture Bros. right now. I hope they re-run the roast.

Thought it was funny...
 
^ They made a ton of gay jokes about him at William Shatner's Roast, he took them all in stride and laughed his ass off. The speech he made about ol' Bill at the Roast was priceless.

Oh Snap!!![/quote]
Don't agree with it, but I can't argue with it - DS9 fucking rules either way.
 
[quote name='2Fast']These early DS9 episodes are sort of laughable.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Kira looks like she's about 17.

I gotta agree with whoever said Sisko was a dick in the early days. Definetly is.

I always hate how much of a cock he is to Picard in the first episode of DS9. Waaaa, you "killed" my wife, you could have resisted the Borg, sob sob; I'm going to let other beings control my life later on in the series, boohoo.

Were Kirk, Janeway, and Archer dicks at the beginning of their series' (I can't remember)? Just wondering since Picard and Sisko are both huge assholes at the beginning of TNG and DS9.

Archer was a bit of a buffoon.

Janeway on the other hand was DEFINETLY a dick at the beginning of Voyager.

Perhaps, that's what Enterprise did wrong?

Did Janeway ever drop trou and give us the full monty? I have a feeling she is hung like a clydesdale.
 
[quote name='2Fast']Aww damn, a Romulan episode. I was going to do some homework, but...the Romulans are an Alpha 1 priority. ;)[/quote]

I missed it. I always wished the Romulans and Vulcans got more air time.
