    Okay, so there's this guy on another forum trying to get the following translated into as many languages as possible. (Don't ask me why, I don't know.) Anyway, I told him I might be able to get it translated into Klingon, and he thought that would be "AWESOME." Can ayone here translate it? I could probably get access to that Klingon translation book within a few days, but I'm not sure. Anyway, here's what he said:

     

    Translation of "Heavens of Thunder and Cheese"] - [Translation of "Ears"] - [Name of language in language being used (IE, use "Deutsch," not "German)] - [Name of language (English)]

     

    Please ensure that "Ears" is in plural form. "Heavens of Thunder and Cheese" should keep the essence of being Heavens interrupted largely by thunder and cheese after translation, and I would love it if you could give me a literal translation back to english for me to collect.

     

    Also, please don't contribute unless you have a strong grasp on the language in question. And machine translation is absolutely out of the question.

     

    EDIT: If you are using a character set not native to your language or are missing accents on letters, please describe it for me and I will try to get it right myself. I want the written to be as accurate as possible.

     

    I'm sure he won't mind a rough translation in this case, as there aren't that many people who speak fluent Klingon, as far as I know. (And I was just in Las Vegas, crud. Those dudes at The Experience know their stuff.)

    Ah, there's a fond memory. My very first ANYTHING Star Trek was "Mirror, Mirror." I wasn't all that into Star Trek until my Dad actually talked me into seeing Insurrection. From then on I was hooked, mostly on TOS, TNG was later, then VOY, and finally DS9. (ENT was never all that great for me.)

    Seven. I hated the catsuits, but her character was fascinating. I loved the probing into the concept of drones. The people behind the drones are slaves, but they're afraid of venturing outside of their prison, even if given the chance. Really cool.

    Oh, crud, what was that episode I loathe called? *probes brain* Er . . . *looks for it in encyclopedia* *can't find it* *looks up "Shades of Grey since she can't remember exactly which one that is* *gags upon recognition of episode* Eww, okay, that's my number one. The one I'm looking for is number two. *continues to search* AARGH! I can't find it. Anyway, it was that dang time loop episode. I have seen gobs of time loop episodes in various scifi series, and they all stank big time, with the exception of Stargate's which one of my all-time favorites. Anyway, does anyone know which episode I'm talking about?

    "Way To Eden," naturally, and also "Galileo 7." The latter is a bit sad, because I liked the idea of exploring how the crew felt about Spock's non-emotion. But the episode was just really dreary in my opinion. Not stupid like "Eden," just boring for me.

    He he, I haven't seen this thread in a long time.  :unsure:

     

    So, about planet Miri... was there ever any good explanation (canon or non-canon) as to how a planet that was completely identical to Earth (except that it's natives basically eradicated themselves in the mid 20th century) exists somewhere else?

    None whatsoever as far as I've seen. I think it's a mediocre episode for that reason alone, although I'm sure there are those who disagree with me.

    Regarding the moral of 'you are what you project,' maybe they were aliens, and in their species that really would be true. :unsure:

     

    Meh, back to the mail order bride/prostitution thing, prostitution is sex for a price. This is more of an arranged marriage deal. Not a great episode, but I do love Harry.

    Oh, lord, there was WAY more wrong with ENT than humor, although it was sorely missing. Allow me to list a few keys flaws.

     

    (1) The characters. Really, there was very little character development. They were all flat, and most of them rarely interacted with each other. It missed the family-like atmosphere so prevalent in all the other series.

     

    (2) Archer. In seasons 2 and 3, they essentially made him a bad guy. He did many things he himself admitted were immoral. (Torture, etc.) (Fixed in season 4.)

     

    (3) T'Pol. This could just be me, but I HATED that they made her a sex pot and nothing more. At least until season 4. (The last season was EXCELLENT, IMO.) Even Seven, who was undeniably eye candy, had a fascinating character. T'Pol was flat.

     

    (4) The Xindi. TWO SEASONS DEVOTED TO A SINGLE PLOT?! They are insane! Even shows that follow the same primary plot majorly change what's going on a few times a season. (Alias, 24.) ENT, for those two seasons, got SO boring. WE ALL KNOW THE EARTH ISN'T GOING TO BE DESTROYED! THIS IS A PREQUEL!! Ugh. (Fixed in season 4.)

     

    (5) They made the Vulcans evil. What was that? I can certainly understand tension between humans and Vulcans, but ENT went too far. (Fixed in season 4.)

     

    The list goes on, but I'll end my venting here.

    In my opinion, there have been a mere two good main character death scenes in all of Star Trek. (NOTE: I have yet to see Jadzia's death. *sigh*) Those are Spock's (which makes me cry every dang time) and Tasha's, and even Tasha's wasn't really about her death it was about her holorecording at the end of the episode.

     

    Data's death, for me, was the second worst death scene I've seen in Trek. (1) It was so sudden. We didn't really have time to grieve, which is a necessity to a good death. (2) It's so fake! 'Oh, dear, Data's dead. But look, little B4 looks just like him and has his memories!!!' LAME. Not nearly as lame as Trip's death, but still lame. AND quite unnecessary. They could have easily found a way to save everybody. (Unlike Spock and Tasha's deaths, both of which were unavoidable.)

    While it's fairly obvious that the actresses who portrayed Chapel and Rand were picked for their 'eye candy' quality, the characters themselves made some very interesting contributions to the series.

     

    Chapel was the only repeatedly on-screen character who reminded us that Spock was desireable among the 23rd century ladies. It also, however, was a sort of sad reminder that Spock had inadvertantly broken a lot of hearts in his time. But it was kind of a sweet relationship anyway. For instance, the episode where she had to slap him out of his self-induced coma has so funny! (Ugh, I simply can't remember which episode it was.)

     

    Rand had a very interesting character. She was so . . . maternal towards Kirk. If that makes sense. I'm not sure if she was really in love with him, I think she just wanted someone to take care of. Her development in "Miri" I wasn't especially fond of, (although I'm not crazy about the entire episode,) but her reaction to Charlie in "Charlie X" was wonderful. It also reinforced her nurturing attitude. It really is a shame that her character didn't stay longer.

     

    In fact, and I don't know that this is quite fair, but Rand and Chapel seemed to be more developed characters in the series than Uhura. That changed in the movies, but still. Am I mistaken?
