  1. If I had to pick I would say TAS was the weakest, then ENT, then Voyager (don't tell my wife I said that though!). Voyager was a bit erratic to me and they RUINED the Borg, by making them look like complete space wimps! I think DS9 is the strongest but I guess its just a matter of opinion/taste! Don't get me wrong I love them all, I've watched the whole Voyager series at least 5 times. Even "weak" Trek is better than most non Trek TV!


  2. I thought, here on Memorial Day, it would be a good idea to express gratitude, if there be among us here at stf, to any men or women who either have served our country in a branch of the armed forces, or maybe, are now, in whatever capacity. Thank you for your service, and sacrifice, of time, of months or years,spent away from family and friends, and, I hope not, injury taken on behalf of all of us. The very best to you all , and bless you. VR.

     

    Well said VR! I coulnd't have said it any better so I'll just say ,thanks to all who have served/are serving!


  3. That was cool! I got 96%....5 miles.....255 secs. I thought I'd do better, geography was my inital major in college.

    It's not so easy when you have a blank map though lol You may know where each state goes but if you have it off just slightly it'll register as an error. Try putting Iowa or Colorado in when it's just a blank map and you're bound to be off slightly lol.

     

    At least I'm bound to be off slightly lol

     

    Yeah I got Nevada and Kansas early on and it threw me off!


  4. It's been a while since I watched and DS9 episodes outside of season 2 (the only DS9 season I own) but the one that comes to mind is in season 1, I think. It's the one where they take Kai Opaka into the Gamma Quadrant, and she dies, but is brought back by nanites, but has to stay on the planet.

     

     

    Battles Lines....its my meh episdoe


  5. Then why was Dukat in charge of the entire Cardassian empire if his rank was only Gul?

     

    Colonel Gaddafi runs Libya and still uses Colonel. Perhaps he just likes the sound of that rank...maybe Legate is too "political" Gul is a military rank, more in touch with the people.


  6. Just curious if there are any Little Feat fans out there? In my opinion they are highly underrated. Lowell George is a master of the slide guitar and taught Bonnie Raitt alot about slide, and they also happen to Jimmy Page's favorite american band( at least they were in the 70's!). It seems they get no love!


  7. I've always wondered this...perhaps its been explained or you folks have some ideas. When Klingons speak, I generally assume they are speaking Klingon but humans hear english (or whatever thier native tounge is) due to the universal translator, but we also hear Klingons speak Klingon quite a bit, often in the same sentence. How is this possible? Wouldn't the universal translator translate it all? Or I am just looking waaaaay to deeply into this?
