  1. I recall him mentioning that he did enroll at starfleet academy. Is it possible that he was demoted to an NCO rank because of some infraction he committed while in starfleet? Perhaps his service record kept him in albeit at an enlisted rank? Its a possibility.

     

    I'll have to look back and see which episode it is but in one episode he mentions that his father wanted him to go and study music but he didn't want to do that. So instead of doing that he went down and enlisted in Starfleet.

     

    I don't recall him ever saying that he had enrolled at the Academy. I haven't had a lot of time to watch my DVD's for a while though so I'm a little rusty on all the details.

     

     

    If you can find it, let me know. I vaguely remember O'Brien mentioning his academy days to Bashir and Nog. I hope that helps.


  2. dont like the way they killed her. so it was a 2

     

     

    I never understood why she was killed off. Did Terry Farrell want to leave the show? or was there some other reason for her character dying?

    terry farrell cited creative reasons for leaving, she asked to go. Then later she left becker for the same type of reasons.

     

    By the way Z thats actually not true, they were not sure if they were even going to bring dax back for the seventh season, and even when they decided that they were, they were undecided as to whether it would be as a male or as a female.

     

    Thanks for the info. You just answered my questions. :)


  3. A really well done episode. The tension between the characters as they were running out of time was especially well-acted (McCoy - "Would you like to take a crack at it!!!???") . Also, Rand's revelation to Kirk that she always tried to get him to look at her legs.........very erotic for some reason. Of course, I was ALWAYS looking at Rand's legs.......and everything else about her!

     

    I know what you mean :)


  4. O'Brian was odd with his ranks. In a number of TNG he had the rank of Lieutenant with the rank on his uniform. But nobody called him by his rank period. Just the title of his duties. Nobody called him Lieutenant O'Brian or his NCO rank.

     

    In fact, in all of star trek O'Brian was the only and I am talking about the only cast member with an active NCO rank. Always was questioning that, as everyone had a rank of Ensign or above. Look at Voyager, the NCO were just the background players and nothing more.

     

    Maybe they needed a NCO and oh ya O'Brain play this part.

     

    The Doctor had no rank until he had been made a Command hologram in "Workforce", but Kes and Seven also had no rank even though Janeway could've given them each field promotions based on their knowledge.

    I think you made a good point, though regarding O'Brien, Maybe he was the lone starfleet noncom and we were fortunate enough to have him play that role. :)


  5. A good ep. Bonus points for cool plot and Sulu doing his D'artagnan impersonation on the bridge. I think this is the ep where the bond between Kirk and Spock really began to form.

     

     

     

    I like your thoughts Good Point!

    Thank you, Space fever :)


  6. An interesting concept- a creature that feeds off the violent emotions of others. The fisticuffs and sword fighting make this a good ep. Bonus points for introducing Mara, the first female Klingon.


  7. The Enterprise finds an exact duplicate of Earth- one difference though, the adults died and the children are 300 years old due to life prolongation experiments. Kirk still manages to find an admirer in Miri, but in the end all turns out well. I rate it as good, would've been great, but that annoying "Bonk,bonk on the head" kid should be sent to military school pronto!


  8. A good ep. Spock takes charge of a crashed shuttle and must battle giant bigfoot creatures that look more like they are wearing shag rugs. Spock takes a calculated risk- could it be emotional? I don't know because all that matters here is that it works and the survivors are rescued.


  9. A parallel universe double named Lazarus fights his evil twin- he traps himself in a gateway of sorts to avoid the annihilation of both universes- a high concept ep that is often overlooked and forgotten, but one that i consider to be very good.


  10. I would've said good, but then i recalled how space teen Charlie de-faced a crewmember!! That was a first for Trek. I don't recall that ever happening again in an ep.A Great Episode!
