I really don't know...

Americans think I have a bit of a Canadian accent, but in Canada they think I have a slight American accent!

Aw, come on, what about Big Silvery Far-Away Orb?

Excellent...

Men for everyone! Well, everyone who wants them anyway! And if you don't, can I have yours?

Kidding, kidding...

I voted for Firefly. I'm surprised it doesn't have more votes! Joss Whedon did an incredible job with that show. The cast was amazing, the individual and overall plots were quite good, the writing was witty... And the whole "space Western" concept? I love it. This is probably my favourite show after Star Trek. Brilliantly conceived and with some of the best lines ever. Yes, I am a devout Firefly fan, and I am desperately sad that it was cancelled so ruthlessly.

Q is fabulous! He's one of the most paradoxically predictable and unpredictable characters ever.

Chakotay it is! It's the tattoo that does it. Haha, just kidding. But seriously, his judgement was usually pretty good--and I reiterate, usually. I think he'd be a pretty good captain.

Those are interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing them. I will give this some further thought myself!

As a history major who adores her field of study, I can honestly say that this intrigues me.

So, essentially, it was felt by those who voted that "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy" was the best episode of Voyager? Wow. What a wrong opinion. HA! Just kidding. But I definitely don't agree with that selection. It was a good episode, but...the best of Voyager? I think not!

Okay, I definitely need that.

I remember Kevin Newman who did a short stint as host of Good Morning America was a trekkie (I don't know what happened to him - I think he has gone back to Canada)

LOL!!! Thank you for that.

No one has mentioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. he and his whole family were big Star Trek fans, As a matter of fact its because of Dr. King that Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) stayed on the show!

Yes, someone did mention that before, but not in as much detail. That's awesome!!!

Wow! This is so informative! Keep it up, please!

John Billingsley had a very small role in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, as "Barry."

You know, as much as I loved Kes (probably the most balanced individual ever), the series really got better when Seven sort of "replaced" her. The whole Seven/Borg element was just an awesome addition to the show in countless ways: by opening up new Borg-related plot possibilities, by bringing in a talented actress, by changing the dynamic between crew members, by allowing for even more exploration of what it means to be human than was already present with the Doctor, etc. In short, the series only got better as it went along--in my opinion--and the improvement really accelerated when Seven appeared on the scene.

Good point!

(As an aside, I'm actually from Canada, too--just living in the US for school at the moment. So, hello!)

You know, I hated Year of Hell--but not because it wasn't "good." I think it was mainly because I'm used to seeing the crew of Voyager so competent and in control. In this one, they weren't. Which makes it extremely good from the point of view of character development and plot diversity. And yet I am dreading getting to that point in the series again. It was...traumatizing for me, emotionally. (Perhaps that's rather silly, but it's the case, so there you have it! That's what I think.)

Yay! I'm excited. I only have the enhanced ones on VHS. Pitiful, isn't it?

Deanna got a uniform at some point... Didn't that happen when she actually became an officer? I thought that was briefly noted somewhere along the way.

Ah well, I'd let a Klingon wear what he wanted to wear, personally!

 

They're like bandages. you can't exactly use a dermal regenerator on a gaping hole a removed cybernetic implant would leave.

*shudder*

So why do they let him wear something that isn't part of the regulation uniform, then?

Awesome! I did always want to be an astronaut...

I guess I'll just be one from here.

How fun, and hideously mesmerizing...

Didn't Chakotay mention that if he ever needed a tailor, he'd ask Tuvok? They definitely should have set Tuvok on making them by hand. Perhaps for...meditative purposes.

I have none. *sniffle* It is because I am poor and most desperate to acquire TNG first (though I want to have them all eventually, of course!).

LOL! That's fantastic.
