Heh, welcome back! I had a similar experience and came back after seeing the new movie as well.

Seeing as Garak is my favorite character form the entire series I chose him. He's just so... wow. You never can believe a thing he tells you. So he could tell you the truth all day long and you wouldn't believe him. His relationship with Bashir was hilarious. He presented a very kind, smiling face to the world, but underneath that had a calculating, ruthless demeanor, and then underneat that, he had a good heart and cared for people and wanted to do the right thing. So many layers! My sister and I were talking once about Garak, and I asked her, "What would you say to Garak if you ever met him?" And without hesitation, she answered, "Tell me a story!" Oh yeah. That boy could tell a story. Love him.

Now Dukat... oh, Dukat. I personally believe he's the hottest man ever. And he has such a great voice. He gives such eloquent speeches, and I think he's in love with the sound of his own voice. But I can't blame him because I'm in love with it, too. And he is such a great character—a great villain. He was always the bad guy, no doubt about it, but he was the pitiable bad guy. And he had some good moments. I don't think he was pure evil like some on here have said. I think that honor goes to Kai Winn.

And Damar. I really like Damar, too. His character had such a great and interesting journey. You can't say that about many characters, especially non-regulars!

Gosh. I really just love the Cardassians! They're such an interesting people.

I'd love to see Nurse Chapel. I always liked the idea of a relationship between her and Spock; she was definitely crushing on him. But I don't know if that's possible now because of the Uhura thing. Or maybe Uhura and Chapel could duke it out:

Star Trek XII: The Fight for Spock

I would also like to see Rand and maybe one of the old Klingon nemeses if they chose to have Klingon antagonists. (And why wouldn't they?) I liked Riley, too, and it might be neat to see him. Or maybe they could bring in Carol Marcus.

The thing about Star Trek movies is, there's never enough time for the story, the action, and all of the characters. The main cast is already big enough and look at this movie: Aside from Kirk and Spock and to a lesser degree Uhura and McCoy, the other characters didn't get much more than an introduction and a scene where they did something. I don't know if they'd be able to add in more characters and still make it significant to the story.

From whats been said you haven't lived life until you include an Imax experience.

Haha, I'd say that's a bit of an exaggeration! But it definitely is a really cool thing to do.

This theater at Six Flags... is it one of those where you sit down and the seats move and stuff? I love that!

Patrick Stewart, that is awesome.

Beltram has said in numerous interviews that he hates sci-fi and Voyager was just a paycheck for him.

I wonder if this contributed to Chakotay being the boringest, most personalityless character ever. I swear I feel like trying to claw out my eyeballs when watching a Chakotay episode. I don't expect the actors to like Star Trek and science fiction as much as we do or even at all. It really is a job for them. But it is in poor taste to make a big deal out of it at a convention.

You Scored as Dominion

You Are Dominion. You have to force people down to keep power. You lie constantly to have the upperhand. You hate not being in control but have a dark past. You are distant from people

Vulcan 85%

Federation 65%

Cardassian 60%

Romulan 45%

Borg 40%

Dominion 35%

Klingon 15%

Ferengi 10%

So let me get this straight. I answered all of the "I like to use people" and "I lie" questions as "strongly disagree." I get 85% Vulcan and 35% Dominion. Yet I score as Dominion? Suuure.

My biggest disappointment with Enterprise is how little of Shran there is in it.

I would have liked to have seen more Shran, too, though perhaps for some differing reasons. I love Jeffrey Combs. Deep Space Nine really spoiled me on the depth and reoccurance of its reoccuring characters.

I enjoyed season three. I think it had some pretty good stories and the crew had to deal with some tough situations. The question is, could that have been done without creating a new race and without all of the weirdness that was going on. I don't remember exactly everything that happened, but I think there were some pretty far stretches and didn't they end up going back to Nazi times? I mean... they had the Klingons and the Romulans to have fights with. How about showing some more of that "how they became enemies" stuff? I definitely would have like to see more of the Andorians. They're shown once or twice in TOS and mentioned a couple of times in the later series but we never get to really see them and who they are. I would have liked more of the formation of the Federation stuff. I wasn't too thrilled about the whole Temporal Cold War, either. There were all these stories and things they could have done with the rich Star Trek lore, and they go and introduce completely new elements in the Temporal Cold War and the Xindi conflict. Seriously. What? I really did like Enterprise, but looking back on it, those two things are probably some of the low points. Not saying that the stories that came out of it are low points, but the fact that they used them as vehicles.

I'm probably in a minority here, but I thought ENT had a fairly strong first season. Well, I liked it anyway.

Actually, I agree. I think Enterprise had the strongest first season of any of the more modern Treks. In fact, I think it was all pretty strong and didn't really have that awkward "getting to know you" phase of the other series. Which is why it is so surprising to me that it wasn't as well received and was ultimately nixed. Especially since that fourth season was the best season yet!

I like the way TOS did it: joined the mission already in progress. There wasn't really any back story as to how the crew came together and I'm pretty sure we didn't start in on their first mission. They all just were.

Yeah, Deep Space Nine has the shops and social life. And in that respect it may be more fun. But I've never been one for getting out, going to bars, or shopping. Besides, the Enterprise is much brighter and friendlier! It doesn't get tied up in politics as much and you would get to visit so many placed and see so many things. I think it might be easier to make friends on a starship, too. And I'm sure there are more things to do than what they just showed on the show. People tend to go a little crazy when stuck in close quarters with no sun light and nothing to do. Remember they always had plays and concerts and poetry readings and things. I'll bet there were lots of clubs/associations and such. There was probably something going on every night. I'm sure they had sports/fitness facilites separate from the holodecks and maybe even a restaurant or cafeteria apart from Ten Forward. That ship is huge and almost like a city in its own right. Plus, remember, there were families on board that ship... kids even. I'm sure Starfleet provided many amenities for its officers and their families.

So I say Enterprise.

Oh, I loved him. His spats with Weyoun were priceless.

But really I liked him before I even knew who he was. I was still in the early seasons of DS9 when I came across this really elaborate role playing thing on LiveJournal. And I just got hooked. I read through all of the posts and stories and it was really quite exciting. Damar was one of the main characters and I just grew to like him. So when he showed up in the series, he was already one of my favorites. I was devastated when he died. Especially since that role play I had been reading was set after the war and during Cardassia's rebuilding.

It's funny, but the characters on DS9 that ended up being my favorites are not even main cast members. And they're all Cardassians. Heh. I love DS9 for its great character development, including those characters who may not be in every episode. A really good series all around.

It was Victoria Day long weekend in Canada.

And next weekend we have Memorial Day! I've been thinking about going to see the movie again on Monday just because I have the day off and I know a cheap theater.

Howdy! Same here.
