    Starfleet isn't exactly a military. it's more coast gaurd like. while for me, it might be a wierd transition from full out Military to "Diet Military, Fortified With Vitamins S, C, I, E, N, C, and E"

    I know Starfleet isn't a purely military organization..It has other functions as well..I could be in Starfleet and serve on a science or exploratory vessel like CJLP suggests..I wouldn't do well in combat situations though..That's why I said I would rather be a civilian with my own ship exploring the galaxy..Wouldn't that be awesome?

    That's a tough one..If I could have my own ship to explore the galaxy then I would say civilian..Sure I would like to say Starfleet. But I'm just not sure I would do good in a military organization like Starfleet is..

    Paris, Torres and Durst find themselves prisioners of the Vidians. The head surgeon/scientist Sulan has extracted B'Elanna's Klingon DNA in order to produce a pure Klingon for his tests. He believes that a pure Klingon can help him find a cure for the deadly Phage disease. In their cell, Paris and Durst are stunned when another prisioner is brought in. It's an all-human version of Torres - the other "half" of Torres that was left after Sulan removed the Klingon genetic material. She explains to Paris what has happened to her and is very weak. The guards return and forcibly remove Durst from the cell. Although Paris tries unsuccessfully to help his friend, all the human Torres can do is cringe in fear. The Klingon Torres is horrified when she sees Durst's face on the surgeon Sulan. He has killed the Lieutenant. It so angers Torres that she breaks her bonds, attacks Sulan and escapes..The human Torres ends up in the cell by herself because she is too weak for a labor detail. The Klingon Torres finds her and helps her escape. In return the human Torres comes up with a plan to de-activate the shields. Chakotay disguised as a Vidian finds Paris and rejoins the two Torreses. The Klingon Torres takes a phaser shot from Sulan just proir to beaming up to Voyager. She dies on the transporter platform but the Doctor is able to use her Klingon DNA to restore Torres to her original self.

    Show Notes :

    Neelix fixes Plomeek Soup for Tuvok since Neelix believes that the crew deserves a little taste of home now and then, Neelix spices up the soup since it seems so bland to him.

    Neelix makes peanut butter and jelly sanwiches for Paris. Tom calls it 'comfort food'.

     

    Show Quotes:

    Paris: Fear can be a good thing. It keeps you from taking unnecessary chances.

    Torres: That's the way you respond to every situation, isn't it? If it doesn't work, hit it. If it's in your way knock it down. No wonder I got kicked out of the Academy.

    Klingon Torres: Maybe we'll die in the attempt, but that's better than sitting here like frightened Tika cats.

    Torres: I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'll spend the rest of my life fighting with her.

    My team is the Boston Red Sox.. I've been watching them for a long time..I have yet to see a championship but they certainly have a strong team..Maybe the additions they added this year will make a big difference. They came so close to the Series last year. I think they're the best team in baseball and I'm surprised and happy that some of you agree..It's going to be a great year up here... :dude:

    I wonder why they never did it again in any of the episodes? It was a good story.  You really can't say that about Jeffrey Hunter, you don't know that. He definatley was better looking than Shatner. And just as talented.

    All I was really saying is that Jeffery Hunter would have passed away before any of the movies were made..I doubt they would have went with a totally new captain for the movies..The entire original cast and 1 new captain? I don't think so. It wouldn't have worked..There would have been no movies and no TNG in my opinion..But I liked Jeffery Hunter too..It is a tragedy..

     

    The Cage was incorporated into the 2 part TOS episode The Menagerie..

    I believe Jeffrey Hunter died shortly after this pilot was made. :laugh:

    I liked Jeffery Hunter a lot but it's a good thing they went with William Shatner..Star Trek would not have made it to the movies or to TNG..It is a tragedy that Jeffery Hunter died so young but he would have taken Trek with him..Say all the negative things that you want about Shatner..But he kept Trek alive...IMO..

     

    BTW, I really liked The Cage as well..It is one of the best TOS stories ever done..!

    So cool that you were able to get the Picard one Mrs P! Yeah, they are expensive but they are well done. I like them a lot. BTW, I just noticed your pic in your profile..That's a cool Picard wall you've got there.. ^_^
