  1. It was mentioned in the film that this was a prototype Bird-of-Pray and the only one.

    As for the Scimitar from Nemesis, you have to figure this is about 100 years after Undiscovered Country's events and the Romulins have been working with cloaking technology for a couple of hundred years already. It make sense to me they had a cloak you could shoot thru.


  2. I agree with you Gotabite, these three women are the most well developed characters ever on Star Trek.

    As for Kes she was ok and kinda cute, but I'm glad she left the show since she would have died before Voyager ended their run. The Ocampa only live to be 6 or 7 years old.


  3. I voted for next season.  I think UPN will somehow mess things up.

    The show may surprise me and go on to complete seven seasons on UPN.

    Hmm..I Hadn't Thought About That. Ya Think UPN Would...Mess It Up??

    They have been since 1995. :)

    What have they messed up?


  4. I think its silly that she is now filing a suit because she claimed to have the winning ticket and lost it but feels she deserves the money. Thats insane! if she were to win the case then that will open the floodgates for other people claiming they had winning tickets and lost them.

    If she was stupid enough to lose the ticket then she is just S.O.L.


  5. I like Voyager alot (Of course i really like all the Star Trek shows equally). Unfortunetly they don't show any Voyager reruns where I live even on UPN. Luckly I taped a bunch of episodes back when the show was on, but I would love to see the other episodes I don't have again.

    I do get DS9 reruns on Fox and TNG reruns on Spike TV so that helps calm my Star Trek addiction.


  6. That's shocking! What's the point in researching diseases when the animals are going to die? It's using a life to save a life. I am especially opposed to animal testing cos I'm a vegetarian and would rather die before I intentionally killed an animal.

    Um... The point is to prevent diseases. :spock: It's using animal lives to save both human & animal lives. I have the otmost respect for animals, but I don't have a problem with experrimenting on them, as long as they don't suffer.

    Well the problem is most of the animals do suffer. And they are not always used to help cure a disease, some are used to test perfumes and such.


  7. Ya, Saving Private Ryan is the one of the only movies that has ever brought me to tears. I'm usually pretty good at not crying during sad movies... but... Saving Private Ryan. Wow.

    Yeah I know what you mean. The scene where the military car arrives at the Ryan house to inform them that 3 of their sons had died and we see the mother just drop to the floor of the porch when she relizes what happened just tore me up! I cried like a baby. And at the end when the older Ryan was walking thru the gravesite of his fellow soldiers and he stops at the tombstone of the officer that had come to get him (Tom Hanks) then he looked at his wife and said something like "I've been a good man my life haven't I?" I had the ole tears flooding out again.

    For those that have watched "Kelly's Heros" I model myself after the character of Oddjob which was played very well by Donald Sutherland (Kiefer Sutherland of the TV show 24 is his real life son.). One of the funnest characters to ever be in a war movie. My favorite line of his he always says when people tell him bad news or say something can't be done, he says "Always with the negative waves." He is like the first hippie! LOL


  8. I voted for "Saving Private Ryan", but there are so many other great war films that I absolutly love. "Kellys' Heros" is an example, love that film. Its the film that inspired me to become a Tanker (Tank Crewman) in the Army.

    Other great films, "Battle of the Bulge", "Midway", "Platoon", "Full Metal Jacket" and "Tora Tora Tora"

     

    But SPR and KH are the two at the top of my favorite list, Private Ryan made me cry, Kelly's Heros made me laugh my *buttocks* off.


  9. Is now a bad time to mention that today its in the low 80's and I've been outside in shorts a t-shirt most of this morning? It is? Ok then I won't tell you.

    Klingonmike...where do you live and do you have a room you'd like to rent out to a fellow Trekkie? Right now I'm looking out my window at a blizzard!!!

    Sure MrsKirk, come on down! I live in Fort Myers beach, Florida which is in southwestern Florida. The waters warm and the beaches are pretty. My latest hobby now is snorkling, going underwater and collecting seashells and sand dollars.


  10. Is now a bad time to mention that today its in the low 80's and I've been outside in shorts a t-shirt most of this morning? It is? Ok then I won't tell you.

    I feel sorry for you, wouldn't you like to have -20C and a lot of snow? :)

    Not really, The snow messes up my tanning on the beach! :lol:


  11. I like Star Trek for many of the reasons given above. UH pretty much hit the nail on the head.

    I also like Star Trek because each episode has a message that can be found in situations seen today, such as racisum,hate, and intolerence. We all have things to learn while watching Star Trek.
