Aw,no way man.That idea is terrible!I'd stop watching the show if their was a gay character! :blink: (cool!I just found a batman smiley)

How sad you are. What do you have against gay people? Why do you see it as a threat to you personally?

:blink: I hope they bring the Tellarites back to Enterprise at some point......I just love that race. PIG IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!!

As I was watching the end of "Xindi" pt. 2, where Enterprise encounters the distroyed planet, do you think it Would be neat to have the Xindi be the aliens that developed the "Doomsday Machine"? If you remember the TOS episode it was headed toward our system.

It has it's good moments, but I voted for Voyager. There should have been a group of Maquis defectors Who team up with some alien races to attempt to keep Voyager from reaching home.

I am shocked that onre of the most versitile character actors who passed away on 11/10 has been overlooked by our site hosts....Larry Hovis! NEED IN SAY MORE!!! He has give us many years of laughter and he should not be overshadowed! Here is an over view of his career...as if you need it.

'Hogan's Heroes' Actor Larry Hovis Dies at 67

Wed September 10, 2003 06:11 PM ET

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Actor Larry Hovis, who played Sgt. Carter in the 1960s television series "Hogan's Heroes" and later taught drama at Texas State University, has died of cancer at the age of 67, the school said on Wednesday.

Hovis was best known for his work in "Hogan's Heroes," the long-running comedy about World War II soldiers in a German prison camp, but also had a recurring role in the television show "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and was a creator and performer on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In."

He got into show business early, forming a musical act with his sister at the age of 5, and went on to become a drummer, singer, comedian, writer, game show producer and stage and television actor, the school said.

He joined the university in the central Texas town of San Marcos in 1990 and taught acting and characterization until his death on Tuesday, the school said.

A memorial service was scheduled for Saturday at the school's Theater Center.

I just recently saw Marina at a con and she talked about how the "Sexier" her clothes got, the dumber her character got. When she was in her official uniform Trio was leading away teams and reminding Data and Riker of technical informationthey should have known. It was hysterical and i wish i had a tape running so i could post it verbatium.

NEVER let Dianna drive!!!!!!!!

I think it's a shame that the Orions were not used and developed more than they were on TOS. I would like to see them introduced on "Enterprise" sometime in the future. I enjoyed your bio on the Orions but you forgot the episodes "Journey to Bable" Where The Andorian Thelev was Really an Orion. Also the episodes "Gamsters Of Triskelion" (Tamoon) and TAS "Pirates Of Orion".

congratulations to VA Beach Guy,and all the Mod's.You all deserve this award.Thanks for making this site a comfortable place to visit and discuss Star Trek.

:)  :)  :lol:

What can I add to that? WOO HOO!

You're right, VBG. The management of the network did't like the idea of a woman as Number One.

 

I'm glad about the changes. That was the best that could have happened. Although I always liked "The cage" I do not belive that Startrek would have made it if there wasn't Kirk. Kirk and Spock are characters which elate people. Their names are known by people all over the world who have never watched Startrek - could you imagine that Pike/Hunter would have been able to achieve this?  I think it was Kirks/Spooks charisma which made the fandom possible.

We have the advantage of hindsight, but how do we know for sure that Pike and Number One wouldn't have been just as revered as Kirk and Spock if they had continued in the roles?

Quite possibly they would have been, the first Pilot was a big hit with the fans that were lucky enough to see it back before Star Trek was a series. But that hindsight says that we dodged a bullet as far as future movies go. Like I said, had Pike been the star of the series it may not have gone past 1969.

There is no reason to assume the series would not have gone past 1969. Ok it didn't go past 1969 even with Shatner but still....If Star Trek had sold as it originally was, hunter's destiny would have been different. He would not have died filming "Viva America" because he would have been filming Trek and would have been in a compleatly different place. Assumingly. B)

Did I just see Stewart Take down Tim Russ with a vulcan Neck Pinch? He had Russ' arm behind his back but that wouldn't cause someone to faint and his fingers were in the exact position on his neck. Very Ironic.

Wasn't all of this done in the Undiscovered Country?It seems like a rip-off,even the sentence to rura penthe.  :)

I don't think it was a rip off od TUC. This episode really shinned a light on the inner workings of the Klingon justice system. Also I think Kolos' speech about the mindset of the young klingons just wanting to be violent for fun (like alot of todays young adults) was riviting. The line "There is no honor in defeating a weaker enemy." Will rank up there with my top favorites. I regret not having seen this episode when I meet Hertzler last month. Oh well.

We all know the security people are usually the first to die on the landing party so what is your favorite red shirt death scene? I vote for Yomen Leslie Thompson from "By Any Other Name" who was turned into a cube...and crushed

Watching "The Cage" last night , I began thinking that to begin a series with a seasond Captain who was becomming disenchanted with his command, seemed odd, compared to the gungho James T. Kirk, but I could see the potential for drama in it. Do you think the network made the right decision to commission a second pilot?

What about sexy Dr. Pulaski? :lol:

Waka, Waka Waka!

This episode would have been better if they had not added the US and China elements.  It would have been better if the show featured a similar situation to the communist/captilist controversy of the 60s.  I also think the premise of the episode was not very open minded  because the Yangs (Yankees)  were portrayed to be more just or deserving to win than the others.  My final complaint is that the instance of a culture being so similar to ours right down to the Declaration of independence is not that believable.

Remember, hindsight is always 20/20. We have over 30 years of history and change under our belts. It's not politically correct to think the west is the best any more. I would be interested to hear some comments from someone who actually lived under communism who later saw this episode

Cool, thanks VBG for the tribute and thanks for remembering.  Sometimes it makes me sad that we have these people (astronauts and their support teams) accomplishing these really amazing feats and they barely get a nod from the public.  Yet the public turns around and treats movie stars and athletes like heroes.

I've noticed that at conventions. The "STARS" get all the attention while a real astronaut is stuck off in a corner somewhere. And i have been as guilty as anyone. I am gaining a new respect for these real heros.
