  1. Trekkie. I find Trekker to not really signafy Star Trek properly..I could be looking too deep into it, but when ppl talk about star trek Trekkie fits better.

    I agree.I have always called myself a trekkie


  2. Star Trek 6 was the best Klingon arc of the movies. They wanted peace! Chancellor Gorkon and his entourage were the most sophisticated Klingons yet. General Chang had an evil sea-dog 'human' quality while Gorkon had the look of Abraham Lincoln. Great costumes and mannerisms, tying in well with the TNG era 'friendly' Klingons. In this film, Kirk is back on form. Damn Klingons. He hates them and this time when they all get drunk together, there are no jokes about lovely muscle tones and whiskey. There is tension and animosity between the crews.

     

    TNG evolved that 1979 'dumb' Klingon into a creature with politics, a culture, and nobility. They had religion, Weapons, hierarchy. The evil rogues of the movies were not gone though. The evil Duras sisters (personally my favourites) had developed throughout TNG  and briefly on DS9 as well. Lursa and B'Tor were like the Klingon Patty and Selma and Picard was their Homer. Sensual, driven, they popped up in Generations as part of mad man Soran's ambitions. Here they meet their fate and that is about it. Not a great use but effective none the less. T

     

    he Klingons have been absent now in the last three movies. We have had the Borg, Stretchy Sona and the good old Romulans. Maybe, if there is to be a new movie, we should have the Klingons wreaking havoc again. Some may argue 'let them lie'. But either way, the Klingons have made a valuable contribution to the movies.

    :waaaa::laugh: Patty and Selma=Lursa and B'Tor :laugh: That was great.Anyways i would love to see another Klingon Movie.


  3. An interesting choice. There are so many options. I have a feeling that they will continue with the space shuttle names so it will likely be one of these:

    -Endeavour

    -Atlantis

    -Discovery

    And from those I'd choose Endeavour.

     

    Of course they could extend that list to include Columbia and Challenger to commemorate to the lost shuttles but I don't see B&B doing that.

     

    They may also choose to commemorate the first warp flight using:

    -Cochrane

    -Phoenix

    -Bozeman

    I'd choose Phoenix.

     

    And finally one of the most popular choices I've seen on other boards: Kobiyashi Maru (Hope I spelled that right).

    Kobyashi Maru would be cool but i dont think that will happen.I think Pheonix would be very appropiate.


  4. I didn't really like them either but Quark and Liquidator Brunt changed my opinion on them.

    I agree i didnt like the Ferengi in TNG but when i saw Quark in DS9 i started to love them

    I voted no.Bakula hasnt done as good a job as he did in Quantum Leap yet but remember he has only had two seasons of Star Trek under his belt.Give him time.Im sure that he will prosper into a great captian.
