Kai Winn: Bajoran, political manipulator. Scheming, plotting, and so two faced.

Gul Dukat: slimey, also very scheming. Rising and falling and infinitely mad.

Who did you prefer?

Mr Worf. Arm the paint bomb cannons. Maximum yield...

I dont like him. I think he's a real attention seeker. I agree with Doohan and others. But that doesnt mean I dont like Shatner fans. I mean, each to their own right...

When I think of 'Star Trek Movies' I think of the Original Movie sSeries and not the big TNG episodes of recent years. And I cant help wonder why there is little to no discussion on the classics that are The Wrath of Khan and TheVoyage Home and so on.

She could've become a regular strong character, but due to Denise Crosbie's own choice to leave (Doh!) the character that was Tasha Yar had a short lived existence. Popping up in a few subsequent episodes (as Sela, her alternate future self's half Romulan daughter - would u be surprised if her surname was Colby!!!!), Crosbie was still a 'Trek' feature. The above episodes I have listed show Tasha at her best. In the others she was much more background. My favourite is actually The Naked Now. Freed of the hang-ups of her home world, she becomes a seductive temptress that preys on poor 'fully functional' Data!

Well when Kes left, the producers found a way to bring on board another female character. I still feel that had Janeway been killed off, they would ahve found a new female Captain and got her on board. For example, on a fast track, one off torpedo, or through a micro worm hole or something. A very similar Janeway character sent to replacve Mulgrew. They can always make it possible with Trek. The balance wouldnt havebeen disturbed.

Spock's death at the end of WQrath was extremly emotional. And his send off was grand. Falling off a bridge and getting covered with stones just seem to do this legendary character no justice. It was pathetic and to me, just a ratings boost to a film that had limited features. I wanted big show down. A la Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars. I couldnt believe that this obscure El Erian (sp) could easily whoop the *buttocks* off two of Star Fleet's finest, so easily.

"Oh my!" Bad last words. He should've told Picard that he should get back to his crew, and his Enterprise and to treat her right, and all that typically hammy emotional stuff. Big funeral, etc etc.

:lol: IMO of course!!!

What if the actress Kate Mulgrew wanted to leave the show, for whatever reason, to persue other acting careers?  Janeway be killed off or abducted by the Q?  Would she have "traveled to Earth" by a wormhole or something, then not be able to get back, thus being a guest star like Troi in the final seasons?

 

Personally, I would'a liked to see her get abducted by the Q! :lol:

 

Anywho, would Chakotay get promoted to Captain?  Perhaps Chakotay would finally shine as a result?  My next question is this...  if this "cast change" had happened after Seven joined the cast...  well...  who would end up being the star of the show?  Chakotay or Seven?

IMO Seven had became the 'star' of the show in the end. Her character had more interest and individuality than any other in the show. Had Janeway been killed off, I think that they would have found a way to put a totally new Captain in the chair. Turning up just as Janeway leaves like Rudy Ransom did. Or via a wormhole or something easy like that. Chakotay, like Riker, was the First Officer alone.

Was Chakotay a dynamic, inspirational member of the Voyager crew, or was he 'just average'?

We have seen a bald Janeway on Unimatrix Zero: Yuck!

Maybe the Relativity looked into the future and saw that by leaving the emitter, no harm would be done. But then again, can they do that? Maybe it was an oversight? A reward for their help? Remember the drone 'One' that was created from the emitter. There was a potential damaging consequence of the emitter. Iamgine if One had've joined the Borg Collective. New 29th Century Borg. All from one little emitter!!!

Nog-a-thon: that sounds like a transformer!!!! LOL

I think that the Star Trek production team should write out a technical manual for time travel with rules and explanations to be folowed to mantain consistency in episodes and to give writers a basis on which to centre their stories, where time travel is involved.

There would be several theories on this matter:

What I call the Voyage Home theory: "How do ye no he didn't invent the bloody thing...?"

When Scotty gives the glass manufacturer the equation for transparent aluminium.

The Temporal Prime Directive theory: This is from the future. We should keep it hidden until someone invents it.

The Henry Starling Theory: Because this came back in time, it was analysed and sparked off new technology that led to its original development

Destroy it! - like the future ship in Enterprise (which would leave questions over the mobile emitter inanswered if the Dr could keep it)

Send it back. Time Travel should not be a problem considering how easy it was for the Enterprise E to zoom back at the end of First Contact

The Enterprise D was dubbed a flying hotel. Did you like the pastel shades, the wallpaper, the plants, the carpet? The pictures on the wall. Or was it too woosey for you! Not macho Star fleet.

Why were the Bajorans on a frontier? Do you not think that the series was very Earth-centric? Sector 001 !!! That is a bit like Bajorans coming along and saying that we are at the edge of the happening zone. Similarly, Farpoint was "far" from what?

Disaster: "You may now give birth"

I wouldnt like to be the person down in the very bottom deck, like the one we saw in Voyager, in some claustraphobic monitoring room. With no one to talk to. All day!

OBVIOUSLY he would have been missed. They wouldnt exclude one of the most popular TNG characters from a TNG movie.

Oh he is, big time! And he had the cheek once on a British game show to slag off Stewart for being bald. Well at least Stewart isnt fat to boot!

Apparently, Doohan had fallen out with Shatner before the filming of Generations and so the pair struggle in their scenes together. If you watch the bit where Scotty says "Pretty damn fine ship if you ask me", Doohan avoids eye contact with Shatner. And Doohan seems to revel in the line "finding retirement a little lonely are ye"... Read the body language and the scene loses it's warmth!

The first one I remember watching was called The Alternative Factor.

Click for Spoiler:

On the planet below, Kirk finds a man called Lazarus, who tells Kirk that the effect was caused by his enemy. Lazarus has been chasing him with the aid of a time/space craft and wants the Enterprise's dilithium crystals to continue his search. The captain refuses.

When Kirk takes Lazarus aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, it becomes apparent that there is something strange about their visitor. He has incredible mood swings, one minute sane and rational, the next exhibiting violent rage. He also has a bloody head wound that disappears, then reappears moments later.

Lazarus manages to steal the ship's dilithium and return to the planet. Kirk follows and discovers that Lazarus is two people — one sane and one a madman, with one from an anti-matter universe. The sane Lazarus informs Kirk that the beings can only appear in either universe one at a time. Should both men be in the same place at the same time, both universes would be destroyed. Kirk helps the sane Lazarus trap his counterpart in an intermediate time corridor where they can hurt neither the matter nor anti-matter universe, but where the two will be trapped in fight until the end of time.

I found it very confusing and a bit strange as I was quite young at the time and wasn't interested in Sci-Fi at all.

Nah, i think the sex is what makes it. I want to see more. Marriage will be an outdated institution by the time of Enterprise. It's dying out like the church now anyway!

How would u have coped as a crewman on Voyager? I'd have killed Neelix lomg ago :) But seriously. Separated by friends and family would be depressing

Do you really think the general public is stupid enough to not understand that a character from another series could join the adventure?  From their point of view, he'd be a "new character", so why would they be confused, eh?  However, you do have a point about the other characters getting a little less dialog.

Yes actually, especially when it comes to TNG. The TNG characters are neter known than the others as that series had more mainstream appeal and following. To throw in Ezri Dax may be obvious to us Trekkies but not the public at large. That is why I think that Star Trek movies need the well known characters to survive. With a DS9 based movie the general public will look and say, who are they!

The Enterprise has a little cleaning lady called Madge. She comes in Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and cleans for two hours every morning. She can often be seen trundling up one of the corridors with a little cigarette hanging out of the corner of her mouth, muttering about the price of fish.
