TripLives

I like Data and Riker myself.

Not sure about a "Unity" book, but I know there was a "Unity" game.

I know this is a rather old topic but I read a lot of Trek books so I thought I'd give some recommendations. From TOS I really liked "Flag Full Of Stars" & "Timetrap." From TNG, "The Children Of Hamlin" is pretty good. I'm currently reading "The Valiant," which portarys Picard as a Lt. on the Stargazer. It's the first Stargazer novel. So far I would recommend it as well. "Mosaic," from Voyager is a good read if you want to know the history of Janeway.

I haven't read any DS9(as it's my least favorite of all the Treks) or Enterprise books, though I do plan on reading, "The Good That Men Do." I've heard it brings Trip back after the end of the show. Can't wait to get that one!

What about Commadore's Decker (USS Constallation), & Wesley (USS Lexington)? Or even the M5 computer and NOMAD. Very memorable characters.

For me, his gold uniform was the best. There's something about it that commands more respect than the green. I always think of the gold when I think of Captain James T. Kirk!

"Year Of Hell 1&2" rank as my 2nd fav Voyager ep--2nd to "Timeless." I like the concept of the crew not being in total control as they usually are. To me it brings out more reality and makes it more than just fiction. Makes me feel more like I can identify with their humanity. Sometimes the crews of the Treks almost seem like superheros.

K. I'm done rambling. :LOL

Janeway all the way! Followed by Tores and Seven. Never got into Seska and thought the Kes character was really, really weak. I think it was mostly the writing for the character cause Jennifer Lien seems like she did a good job with what she was given to work with. I've even heard rumors that's why she was replaced--because she wanted more for Kes than she was given. But, in the end, who knows for sure, eh?

Malcom was cool, my second favorite next to Trip. After all, he did invent the "Reed...er...Red Alert."

This One

Listening to my kids fight while they watch Spongebob and wishing I could get out with my camera.

I can't see anyone else playing any ancestor of Soong, especially since Data and Lore were supposed to look like Dr. Noonien Soong. Just makes sense.

I do agree that the character was a bit too "villinish," though. I love Brent but could there have been a tad bit of overacting? (Please, don't set your phasers to kill. Stun will do just fine. )

When you want to make your mailbox in the shape of the Enterprise...

Maybe a Star Trek fan is someone who likes just one Trek and a "Trekkie" or "Trekker" is someone devoted to Trek no matter which series. For me, if it's Trek then I watch (although afterward I may wish I hadn't), so I guess I'm a Trekkie. A distinction between just a fan and a Trek devotee is needed.

I do spend money on different merchandise to build my Trek collection. But wearing uniforms and/or pointy ears may be going a bit too far. Whoa! I never thought I'd say something like that!

That's a great idea. I'd give my input for sure. I'm actually working on a ST novel but since you have to be an established Sci-Fi author and invited by Paramount to write one, the world will probably never see it. This would be a great way for that to happen.

Hey. Ya never know. Dreams do come true...

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be, somebody correct me if I'm wrong) I think the Blue Jays did win the WS a few years ago. Seems like I remember something about it.

I may make some enemies here but I'm a Yankees fan...er...would be if I still cared about MLB.

But that was way before Enterprise, Dr. Phlox and my being a fan of John Billingsley.

Hard to pick just one fav of any Trek series, so here's my top 5 from DS9:

1)What You Leave Behind

2)Trials And Tribble-ations

3)Little Green Men

4)The Siege at AR-558

5)Way Of The Warrior

...in that order

Well, it's hard for me to pick between "Time's Arrow" & "Fistful of Datas," but if a phaser set on "kill" was held to my head I'd probably go with Time's Arrow.
