If there was a Titan movie, Riker would probably have to follow his own rules re away missions, although he's probably so big now that he can only sit in his chair anyways. Lodged into into! And I would hope that Troi would stay away from the figure higging jump suits - she's no spring chicken either. Wouldn't want her drooping assets turning the viewers.

No, I am only being nasty, just kidding. They aren't that old, but at the same time, it may be mest to keep the characters young in our mind as opposed to the Cocoon fest that were the later TOS Movies.

Remember Scotty's size in Generations ... he was like a sofa from DFS

TRANSPORTER CHIEF: "My God! Boost the containment field" (sparks flying everywhere, strained whirr of the transporter, as it troed to beam Scotty up .. )

How did that transporter holfd him for so long on TNG. It's no wonder the other guy didn't make it!!!

Imagine all the Caretakers had went to a big Caretaker convention at a Ramada or something and Voyager stopped off so Janeway could use the loo, in episode 1.02

Janeway: Excuse me, where are the ladies?

Female Caretaker; Oh just down the hallway. they're really clean.

Janeway: What's going on in there?

Female Caretaker: Oh just the annual Delta Quadrant Caretaker convention ... they're all there.

Janeway: (shock) I'll be right back

[dashes to Voyager]

Janeway: Hey guess what everybody...

[bIG EXPLOSION AS RAMADA BLOWS UP]

Janeway: Never mind...

They had Ro side with the Maquis since the series was coming to an end and the writers wanted to have one last story about her. But that has nothing to do with DS9 since it would have been in their 3rd season by that point.

 

I'm talking about Ro's troubled past before joining the Enterprise crew. She was let our of jail to help the Enterprise find some Bajoran camps and leaders. Sure her performance since merited a promotion to LtJG but she would have had to be made at least LtCdr to be the XO of the station which would be 3 ranks higher than her rank at the time DS9 aired which was Ensign. It just wouldn't happen.

Remember Geordi at the beginning of TNG? Didn't he go from being a Lt Jr Grade to a Lt Cmdr in like two seasons or something? I suppose Ro could have not been second n command but in charge of liasons or something with the Bajorans.

This one probably isn't as good...

WHA - WHAAA. WHA - WHAAA.

Hey what is that? Looks like a big tube in space. Oh, a little ball is coming down.

Now what's that? The Reliant!!? No it's something else.

A female captain, oh it's all going wrong - well she was fat lot of good.

.........................................

Klingon justice is rubbish.

And Vulcans are the puppets of the Federation.

Now now, let's not get catty girls, you're making a scene...

.........................................

"What is the artifact".

"Klingon mumification gliff".

"Correct!"

Please reconfigure the envelope so that the wotsit can get through.

Beep beep beep.

Correct!

How do you feel.

How do you feel.

How do you feel.

Mum - have you been tampering with the computer again - sigh! I've told you to stay out of my room. Man I hate being back at home, sigh.

..........

Ah've replaced the ration packs with something a bit less Kilingon. They were giving me a sour stomach!

Yes, well Scotty, they would if you ate all of them in one go! It's no wonder the hull plates have come loose.

Bones, you've called it the Bounty.

Yes captain, I think there's a certain irony.

Why yes Bones, I see what you mean, the Klingons would never indulge themselves in a dark chocolate coconut treat.

Bye Savik no 2 (I hope she doesn't baloon like the first one Bones)

...........

Vrooooom - gosh this is an embarassing ride isn't it. I hope no-one we know sees us in this. I would just die!

...........

STAR FLEET COMMAND

Hey look it's Majel Barrett-Roddenberry manning the switchboard. And it's Mr Sisko! Hey Mr Sisko, what about some Gumbo...

Oh dear Sarek, it's going terribly. The ships are all being neutralised and the sea is going everywhere. What do we do?

Mr President - send a distress signal. And tell everyone not to come here. Sigh ... idiot!

...............

Oh look Captain, it's a message from Starfleet.

Quick Uhuru, patch me through.

.............

Oh look it's Kirk, boost the power - argh!

...........

Right what is this noise? Uhuru?

It's whales. We gotta go back in time and get some so they can tell this mother where to go.

No bother.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee round we go....

Oh i'm dizzy.

"So I told her, if she thinks I'm gonna pay $60 for a damned toaster oven..."

Remember where we parked.

Ha.

................

(Que 80s music) Da-de-da da, da-de-da-da

Double dumn *butt* on you

Ha.

Hello, buy my glasses - okay, heres some money - cheers.

Let's split up

Computer??? Hello computer.

Oh I love your big chopper, I used to have one just like it back in college - mind if I have a ride?

We are looking for Nukleer wesseells. Nukleer wesseells Nukleer wesseells Nukleer wesseells Nukleer wesseells Nukleer wesseells Nukleer wesseells

Ha.

Right, need to find some Whales.

Oh there are two. Who is she? Shaaa--wing!

Hi fancy dinner.

Yeah - pizza and a Mikleobe. What?

Right - I am an alien and I want your Whales.

Oh no, not another bad date.

...........................

Oh no - Chekov is hurt ... again! You can take you no-where.

Take two of these and call me in the morning.

It's a miracle!

Ha.

(Could have been worse, Eddie Murphy could have joined in in a fat suit)

...........................

Right we have the Whales. Let's go. Oh god she jumped on board. Hoepfully she won't bring bubble perms and loose knitwear back to the 23rd century...

........................

Oh we're home, that's great. Chat away whales. Chat to the big tube in the sky!

(Big Tube in Wales language) ... and you can consolidate all of your monthly outgoings into one monthly repayment ...

(Whales) No it's okay, we're not interested, we're are happy enough with the credit card we have, although we haven't probably paid it in a few hundred years so we'll be in touch ...

(Big Tube) Thanks for your time, bye now ...

.................

Yay - Kirk saved the day.

You're being made a Captain again.

Oh that's grand sure I wasn't a great Admiral anyways

Here's your new ship

It's an old one with a new paint job

Sure it'll do. Yo!

The end

:angry:

I suppose there could have been a DS9 tele-movie. I mean, look at that Stargate clap that they borught out recently. Yawn! Oh T'lc another hair-do, outrageous!!!

What was the difference? I think that it is the same thing as Tom Paris - Nick Locarno. Ie they were essentially the same character anyways. How could Ro have been a commanding officer on DS9 after what she did on TNG ie betraying the Federation for the Maquis? With Kira we had that fiesty spirit but everything she did to the Cardasians was not illegal or damaging from a Federation perspective. I suppose as well with DS9 they did not have to pay the royalties for the character of Ro. It would have been nice to have that TNG DS9 continuity though like they had with O'Brien and Worf.

Bang!!!!! What was that?

Hey it's me Sulu, check me out in my big long ship drinkin tea like a queen. Hey, what's that shaking?

[shaky camera]

Tell me that wasn't a meteor shower. Okay Captain Sulu - that WASN'T a meteor shower - it was Praxis, a Klingon moon sir.

Praxis? The Greek word for activity engaged in by free men???

No sir - the moon.

Oh. Darned Klingons naming their moons and stuff using our old words. Same with the Romulans...

Will we tell Star Fleet sir?

Are you kidding?

No sir - I think we should.

Oh ok then ...

[At Starfleet command]

And ah jus boaght ah boat...

I'm supposed to be chairing a seminar on answering the phone...

Where's Spock?

Oh there he is. Why did no one tell us?

Ok - the Klingons are dying so we are going to striaght away dismantle StarFleet and give them help. Kirk - you're meeting the Chancellor.

But I hate them etc etc They killed my son whom I knew only for like a day or something so you know, i'm not cool with that.

Only Nixon could go to China.

What? Spock, have you been on the Romulan ale???

[in Space dock - bridge]

Hey there Samantha, how's Carrie and the gals? Still up to your usual activities you bad girl?

Actually I am Valeris, I am a Vulcan. Right - off we go, vrrrrrrroooommmmmmmm....

[wooosh out of space dock]

Hey it's the Klingons, beam them on board.

Love the S & M red and black leather outfits. Have some food - oo you smell, ta ra for now

[On Klingon ship]

Ouch - oh no - he's dead.

Kirk - you did it and Dr you are just drunk, take them away.

Kingon court sends them down.

Oh no an icy jail. Hey look it's Iman - hey, Bowie isn;t with you is he? No, good.

Ah we've escaped, great.

[back on the Enterprise]

Valeris - naughty girl!

Woosh - off to Kitomer.

Bang - oh no it's a Klingon ship, Shakespeare stuff, thing's gotta have a tailpipe - what's a tailpipe?

BOOM!

Beam down, save teh Pressie, big speach, ah...

Back on Enterprise, squich squish, third star to the right or something,

Get your tracing paper out, we can make a fortune from these autographs...

The end

Yay

Bashir was too horny for Jadzia and then Ezri to be gay.

May have been a smoke screen - always beware those men who are a bit OTT when it comes to talking about women...

I am sure that the Star Trek fans of the 70s said the same thing, and look now, it's 3 decades later and Spock is appearing in a new film!

Levar Burton hopes that the TNG crew will be given one last chance to say an appropriate farewell. Was Nemesis really it? Will the TNG crew never again grace our screens in an official capacity? I think not. Spock is back. And it has been how many years? Frakes and Sirtis popped up again in their red and blue jump suits, puffy eyes aside. I think that there will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for the crew of the D and E at some point in the future. When it becomes trendy. TOS stuff is all "retro cool" at the moment, but the 80s bubble perms, knitwear and pastel carpets of TNG will be in vogue soon too and no doubt a follow up movie may be on the cards...

If a character is to be gay it should just be dropped intot he script totally randonly with no reaction or shock from other characters and just left at that. For example, Harry Kim on Voyager was always talking to Tim Paris about going on dates with the Delaney sisters - why not:

HARRY: "Well Tom, are you up for our double date on Saturday night?"

TOM: "Harry, the Delaney brothers aren't my idea of a fun evening..."

HARRY: "Oh Tom, I see the way you look at Mark across the canteen at lunchtime... I know you like him..."

etc etc

There have been a million casual romances dropped into Trek. Loads! Kirk and his multiple conquests on metallic leotards, Spock, McCoy, Chekov, Scotty ... all had romances; Troi and Riker, Picard and Vash, Geordi and holograms :angry: - even Data!!! Throughout DS9 romances just popped up here there and everywhere and did not detract from whatever "space anomoly" story or whatever that was taking place.

My choices for "most likely to be gay" characters from each serires where - Sulu, Wesley Crusher, Bashir, The Doctor and not Reed, but T'Pol - would certainly have boosted the ratings in any event!!

5 years ago... have you read over what you wrote in here like 5 years ago, it's funny what you thought about...

I haven't been here for 5 years yet but I do feel a certain sadness reading these old posts because many of them are made by members who used to be here regularly and for some reason faded away never to be heard from again.

I think that this is one of the posts which has moved back to the fore again that was discussed re the change of skin etc. Is it anything to do with the 2003 looking like 2008? The dates/months are almost 5 years spot on?

Yeah, there are some peeps who just dropped off the edge of the monitor never to be heard from again, some you miss more than others

5 years ago... have you read over what you wrote in here like 5 years ago, it's funny what you thought about...

Yeah the pnly pills are now Vitamin C tablets and the only thing that is proof is the sink unblocker - which can look appealing sometimes in a scary sort of a way...

It is the ghost of Data ...

I have often wondered about what exactly Geordi saw through his visor, as we are presented with different versions. The early episode where his visor is hooked up to the view screen showed us the infra-red plains he saw solid objects in. Data for example radiated heat or energy and so was surrounded with a kind of an aura. Humans similarly were shapes of red and yellow.

So how did he view photos? How was he able to view people on viewscreens? And even then, how did he recognise people on viewscreens?

How did he fall in love with Lea Brahms? In person she would have appeared completely different to a hologram in terms of infra-red heat etc. I know one could argue that it was "the intelligence" which he fell for - but you know what I mean. Do beautiful people have beautiful heat signatures?

Then in First Contact he gets his first contacts - now he sees a bit more like us only sort of blue digital images. How would anyone adjust to this and why would they?

When Geordi rather implausibly gets his eyes back in Insurrection, he can see like us. Everything is beautiful, but how would he know? Wouldn't ANYTHING be beautiful to him since he has never seen before?

Just questions... <_<

Yes, poor Tasha, who would have been half way interesting if they had've just gone the full hog and made her a "woman's woman" if you know what I mean. She had the attitude... I always recall the girl fight with the Grace Jones look-a-like in the arena thing. The one where she had the glove with the big spiky ball on it. I think I remember renting that episode on VHS in the late 80s ... and then buying it 10 years later from the bargain bin!!! I think it came on the same video as The Big Goodbye. Oh dear, showing the age a wee bit.

The oil slick thing was a bit random but the writers wanted to show that the job of a StarFleet officer was an unpredictable one, and death could just pop up at any moment and snatch you away without notice...

But if you are a freak who wears your Star Trek uniform to work and has NCC 1701 painted up the side of car, and you manage to find your Yeoman Rand who is willing to wear a red scant to her wedding, and walk up the isle to Faith of the Heart ... then fair play to you!

Colm Meaney was on today's Paul O'Grady show (C4, UK). When asked about Star Trek fans he said that they were always polite. Star Trek fans were the only people to call him Mr Meaney. He said they come up to him, introduce themselves, tell him a bit about some episode he was in that they liked, get his autograph, and then go. Apparently he likes that... so next time anyone sees him, maybe go up, call him Colm, break wind and tell him he looks like s#1+ and run away ... us Trekkies can be bold too!

TNG Episode "The Host" introduced the Trill although they didn't have the markings seen later in DS9. I think that the markings were taken from yet another TNG race and applied to the DS9 Trills.

Also - Vash, Q, Luxanna Troi, the Duras sisters, Alexander Rodchenko, Gowron, Worf!!!, Admiral Neychev (?), were all characters introduced on TNG who made appearances or became regular characters on DS9 (Sorry for the bad spelling!)

If there had've been a Season 4 of TOS would it have been good? I mean, season 3 was dubbed by the critics as not being as good as seasons 1 and 2. I thought that it was all right and a bit more fun though, with the hippies etc. It was silly but fun. Apparently there were budgeting issues and so forth so they had to cut things and spend less on props and costumes and so forth. Some of the writers also didn't put as much thought into scripts so we ended up with episodes like Spock's Brain. I often think would Season 4 have been any better or worse? What could we have expected?

Maybe the Braxton who turned up later was from the same timeline as the one who was stranded for three decades. There were two (known of) Tasha Yars who both lived separate lives. Why could there not have been several Braxtons as well?

Personally I think that the whole "reintegration" thing is ludicrous. What do they do? Stick them into a blender and re-mould them?

It was ironic that Data died (aside from Tasha) the first out of all 7 of them. He would have been the one that you would have expected to live on forever. However, as with all things Trek, he downloaded his "memory engrams" into what was essentially a duplicate body just before he went, leaving a doorway for Brent to come back as B4 should there be any further movies. B4 could then of course be a sort of a copy of Data complete with memories, maybe personality etc although wouldn't obviously BE Data, since he would be dead.

I always thought that it would have been cool, if Brent was getting too old to play Data (which he was a wee bit), then the movie series could have "dispensed" with the body (maybe with some sort of accident) and then have Data live on in the ships computer. Having Data as the voice and control of the Enterprise would have been cool. Maybe the start of AI running Starfleet ships as a sort of back up ...

... bit like the cartoon series Ulysses...

The one thing I liked about Star Trek V was the bridge. It was a hybrid of TOS shape and TNG colours and materials. I loved the brown shaggy carpet going up the walls and round the consoles and the backlit Okudograms! Nick Meyer reighned it all in in Star Trek VI with chrome deck plating, toggle switches and paper print outs ... party pooper
