    Try this link, it's a bunch of guys who make mods for sfc III. Maybe you can try to get some pointers from them. Also you can download some of the mods. I tried to download a classic constituition class vessel, but couldn't get it to work. Maybe you'll have better luck...

    It's about bloody time this show comes back. My personal episode have been "The Five Doctors." "The Pirate Planet," which was writtten by Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy author Douglas Adams and a lot of others (including the fore mentioned War Games and Tomb of the Cybermen. Also I really liked the tv movie that came out around the late ninties and starred Paul Mcgann. Hoepfully they'll air the new eps on the BBC digital cable channel.

    Well I'm a big fan of horror movies. My fav of all time is the Evil Dead Trilogy. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi rock!

     

    Also I like a lot of non-mainstream horror such as Dog Soldiers, Slashers, Bad Taste and Biozombie. They kind of carry both humor and frights hand in hand (kind of like the second Evil Dead.) If you're a real big fan of horror movies, check these films out they're excellent..

    My daughters have been pleading with me to let them watch this film.I haven't decided yet.They are 16 and 14,and are quite mature for their ages,but I don't feel entirely comfortable with modern horror films.There tends to be extra profanity,sex,and violence to make up for a general lack of good storytelling,in most of them.

    Being a fan of the film,f I would probably say that you shouldn't take them to this film. One of the postive thing about the film is it's strong female lead, but it still has a lot (a lot) of violence. Also their are some grotesque things in the movie (nothing on the level say Evil Dead or Suspiria) but enough to make some of the scenes hard to watch...or how I and my mature 20 something friends would say...whoa cool. Nonetheless, it's still rated R for some mild language and violence, but the sexual tones are some what toned down compared to other vampire movies (Dusk till Dawn, Blade and JC's Vampires.)

    I've got a a couple to add here,

     

    Their both from the Lost Era series the first one is:

    Star Trek: The Sundered.

    It's about Captain Sulu and the Starship Excelsior. The plot has a lot of great TOS allusions and the over all story is very exciting. The book also involves the Tholians and gives us an interesting glimpse of their race.

     

    The next one, although just I'm halfway through it, is Star Trek: Serpents Among The Ruins. It involves the Enterprise-B commanded by Captain Harriman. This is a very entertaining book! The story is about the Tomed Incident, which was mention on TNG tv show (I forgot the episode name...i think it was a first season ep.) The character development in this story is superb.

     

    All in all I'm enjoying the Lost Era books, and plan on checking out the rest of the series as they come out.

    I thought the Death Star was just a giant space station that happened to be sphere shaped. I don't recall in any of the films where it used an actuall star as a power source. I thought it just had a normal, yet extremely powerful, energy core.

    I think this message board is great. I mean that, it took me forever to find a message board where I feel comfortable posting items. For years I was apart of boards where nothing would get discussed except for arguments and petty differences. I wanted to start a subject that talks about these flame war stories and where they ended up in the...uh end. Here's my tragic tale....

     

    Back in the days of the Aol message board, there use to be two forums. A Star Trek forum and a Star Wars forum. Each forum had their own message board and chat room, where they were free to discuss anything they wanted. But soon there came a day when the boards crossed over in a very negative way.

     

    I don't know where it all started exactly, or who shot the first shot. Let's just say that one person decided to go to the other board and make fun of the other guys sci-fi genre. That's where people started flaming the internet communities. Soon each board was filled with "vs" post. A "vs" post is where one genre side pits whatever character, ship or empire against the others. Here's an example, "Who would win The Enterprise-D or an Imperial Star Destroyer?" Now don't get me wrong, these post seemed harmless, but when they get out of hand...they really get out of hand.

    When the "vs" post became apart of each board, trek fans would go to the wars board and argue, while the wars people would do the same at the trek board. All it really boiled down to was a person getting in the last word. I was a prime example of how bad it got. I was absolutely certain that Han could not best Kirk in hand to hand combat. My logic wouldn't even correspond to the subject either. I would say stuff like, "Kirk would win because you're an idiot!"

     

    This was only the tip of the iceberg after the "vs" board got too formal to make fun of the opposing team. Each side would invade other subjects that had nothing to do with the confrontation. A message could be talking about "Best of Both Worlds" when all of the sudden a Star Wars poster would come in and call us geeks who are too caught up with a tv show.

     

    I started posting in my sophmore year in highschool and pretty much ended all that around my freshmen year of college. When I started, I have to admit, I was an angry teenager and no one was going to stop me from defending the genre I cherished (which wasn't entirely accurate because I was a fan of Star Wars, but sided with Trek since it was my first love.) Because of this flame war, as well as some others, I was very discouraged to post anything ever again. Fast foward years later I found this board (and some others), where you need a password to get in. This discourages a lot of flame wars since the aol posters just needed an account to go in any of the community boards and wreak havoc. Also it doesn't seem (so far) that anyone wants to get in some lengthy discussions on who would win in whatever....which also works for me. So now I'm older, a little more mature and learned you can't get a lot done by calling the other side "idiot."

     

    Well that's my lengthy story, does anyone else have additions to the Flame War Journal?

    They can end Enterprise with the opening of TOS.

    ENT Season 1 - 2151-52

    ENT Season 2 - 2152-53

    ENT Season 3 - 2153-54

     

    TOS Season 1 - 2266-67

    TOS Season 2 - 2267-68

    TOS Season 3 - 2268-69

     

    As you can see, the 2 shows are set too far apart in time for ENT to end where TOS began.

    You don't understand in "Where no man has gone before" (tos second pilot) they encounter an emergency beacon from a vessel from the 22nd century (SS Valiant.) I picture something like the Enterprise encountering the Valiant something happens, the Valiant is lost, releases the beacon and after many decades, Kirk and his Enterprise finds the beacon and the human adventure continues. I am well aware the fact that Enterprise and TOS happen in two different time settings. I was simply pointing out some suttle plot points where tos and enterprise can crossover. Not like "Star Trek: Generations" crossover, but more of a crossover that spans the generation. Kind of like in the Enterprise episode, "Regeneration." In the end of that ep the Borg send a message that won't reach the delta quandrant until the 24th century.

    The Where No Man has Gone Before refrenece is something I want to see in the last ep, either that or an elderly Archer meeting up with a young Captain Robert April (or Chris Pike, but I believe April is apart of official cannon) ala Mccoy in Encounter at Farpoint.

    That would be interesting, but I don't see TPTB going in that direction.

    I know, but I can always dream. It makes watching the show fun, not knowing what direction the series will take and sharing theories with others. Another thing I thought would be neat is have Archer and his crew some how associated with the SS valiant (from Where No man's gone before.) They can end Enterprise with the opening of TOS. Probably never going to happen but a man can dream.

    I actually had that same thought running through my head. What I picture happening is at the end of the arch, Enterprise stop the Xindi from activating the weapon. We see the Doomsday machine with some kind of extended countdown to attack. The crew don't actually see the weapon through the last ep and the camera cuts to it stirring about as we hear the old doomsday machine jaws like music.
