I guess there was an engineering problem Scotty couldn't fix.

You got it wrong, the thing messed up because Scotty wasn't there to fix it. All he would have needed was bubblegum, baling wire and duct tape.

Stargate Sg-1 is my favorite non Star trek series, the ORIGINAL Battlestar Galactica is a very very close second.

You're banned for having too many clones

I have proof that aliens exist....I can introduce you to a few of my ex girlfriends. They're proof of alien life.

You're banned for banning without a reason and for being a perv.

I voted for U.F.O., I liked it better than Space:1999. I like the premise better and enjoyed the humor that they injected into a lot of the episodes, it was very subtle but was there. I especially liked the episode called Mindbender where part of Straker's hallucination is that he is an actor playing Commander Straker in a TV series and you get to see a lot of the behind the scenes things like the sets as they would appear to the production crew and the actual show production crew. U.F.O. had some episodes that were not full of action but full of things to provoke thought.

And in the 23rd century TOS the women could look like women.

 

In the 24th century they all had to look too butch

 

And it made their behinds look big too.

 

Though I prefer the 23rd century uniform because they had a little colour to them.

I like it when a woman shows some curves and anything that accentuates them is a plus in my book.

I prefer the 23rd century uniforms. The newer ones look like some sort of post apocalypse Road Warrior football uniforms with the shoulder pads and thermal insulation in the TV versions and the metallic armor of the 24th century movie versions

I don't believe that the intent of the law is to just stop people from seeing underwear and butt cracks. I see this as an attempt to cut down on or get rid of the thug types and thug wannabes. If they said that this was the actual intent the ACLU among other groups would be filing multi-million dollar lawsuits. If I go to a business to spend my money and there are teenagers and young adults wearing their baggy pants and playing crap noise (rap music) I will just go elsewhere to spend my money.

In thinking about this there were some other things that made TOS my favorite series. When I first watched Star Trek TOS it was first run, we had the space program at it's peak. Project Gemini, the Apollo program, the first time men circled the moon on Christmas Eve, the first moon landing, space was the greatest thing. There was just something in in Trek that touched my young mind and to this day reaches something in there but I'm not sure what these days. There was something somehow pure about Trek, considering on the news every night there was the Viet Nam war, protests and riots.

Gotta go with Scotty on this one, he could fix anything given 2 min or less. Too bad they didn't let him fix Kirk's hair/toupee/hairplugs.

Scotty of course!!!!! How many times did he have to repair the Enterprise with bubblegum and bailing wire from battle damage and turn her into a butt kicking machine? Who else could have made a shuttlecraft run on the energy from hand phasers? Who else could use crude dilithium crystals from a necklace and make them work in the engines? Who else would have had the forethought to recharge the only good phaser bank on a almost dead hulk so Kirk could use it to battle a planet killer? SCOTTY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of the choices listed I picked Forbidden Planet, it's the best one of the bunch but for me the movie with the most lasting impact for me was Day The Earth Stood Still.

I think a lot of the lack of promotion has to deal with Paramount's problems with getting outside financing for their upcoming releases. They may be slowing down the speed at which movies are finished and are waiting for additional financing for promotion costs.

I didn't have many Trek toys as a kid because my parents didn't understand or like Star Trek and to this day don't, so here's my list

1) My Enterprise model

2) G.I. Joe space capsule with astronaut and record

3) My Bike

4) A football

5) My sled which I still have (got it in 1966)

The Lights of Zetar should be down there at the bottom with Spock's Brain, The Lights of Zetar was the Klingon's way of getting even with Scotty for beaming tribbles into their engine room.

A Piece of the Action should be a top episode. It was hilarious and apparently was meant to be so. The bit of Scotty and Spock trying to understand the gangster lingo that Kirk fell into so easily and the jokes like "Captain you are an excellent starship commander, but as a taxi driver you leave much to be desired" after Kirk driving that car are great.

Mirror, Mirror should be a very top episode, the way it delves into the darker side of our personalities is a classic. Besides you have to give it points for Spock with that goatee (they should have used it in the "real" universe) The episode showed that we truly are a product of our environment by showing how the people that we are could be different if we grew up in a different environment with different rules.

As a guy I did rather like the female crew-member's alternate universe uniforms too

In my house there are 2 simple rules about coffee

1) Do not bother before my first mug of coffee (it's for your safety)

2) Do not alter my coffee with anything other than more coffee

There is no life before coffee

I think that it would be a great idea if the price were right, but see a problem with the idea. Since it would be worn on the chest it how would you prevent people from hearing both sides of the conversation? a mini ear-piece perhaps? If you just wanted it to act as a speaker-phone it would be great. Much cooler looking than the current blue-tooth headsets that look like a low budget Borg implant.

Van Roy I think you need to read the news more carefully.

Over the last few years the EU has had more say in setting internal economic policy for individual member countries. That has traditionally been a function of individual nations. The EU has been involving itself in individual member country's political races by "recommending" candidates that will further the goals of the EU.

The EU was originally supposed to be a way to improve member country's economic power in terms of international trade and to have a common currency to make trade easier between member nations. It is more subtle in it's approach to non economic policies than let's say the U.N. which flat out states who it thinks should be elected in a country's elections.

I'll get you this time Romulan

I saw her first.

Van Roy we aren't going to let you or your clones get within 100 parsecs of her :(

Fried green tomatoes and a fresh baked baguette with butter

You answered 100% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

I'll stick to my antique Ballantine beer church key

UFO the Gerry Anderson series. This was turned into Space 1999 a year later.
