  1. i voted no. after all in picards time the borg were next to impossible to defeat. so how on earth or any other planet are the crew of ENTERPRISE gonna deal with them. i think their just trying to bring in more familiarity. instead they need to go their own course. but alas i shall watch the episode like all others.


  2. i went with the motion picture. its just that it takes you back to the beggining, and it was simple. many people didnt like the movie but i did. it was slow, but good. II,IV,VI.FC are cool too.

     

     

     

     

     

    LIVE LONG AND PROSPER :wow:


  3. cool, but hey i use lycos, whats so much better about google.

    What's so much better? We're listed on Google that's what :wow:

    ok i deserved that one. but i think you know what i meant by the question. i just hear a lot of people say do a google, but i always had good luck with lycos. so i was wondering is their something different about it or just another name, but this one has us on it.


  4. Has ANYONE seen this movie yet?  I guess if they were trying to get Trek fans to go see it, it hasn't worked.

    i did see this movie. it was actually better than i thought it was gonna be. but i am also an avid scifi lover, and movie lover. so i generally find something about a movie to like. if i dont like it then it really sucked. but the core was good. yes he said xena tapes, and hot pockets. couldnt find spoiler button so dont read this if you want dont want too. by "hacking the planet" they were saying they needed him to find any and all references to what was happening to the planet, and eliminate them as to avoid mass hysteria. as far as the actors right now for the life of me other than DELROY LINDO (POPULAR) i cant think of their names but i knew most of them. they just happened to be a little, little older, so they probably didnt think that anyone would care. but they are good actors. you might know delroy lindo from THE LAST CASTLE a robert redford movie in 2001 i think. anyway i lliked it, could've been better, could've been worse. to each their own.


  5. Kira: Thats alot of names

     

    Sisko: There not just names Kira...we have to remember that, we must always remember.

    thats deep, and is it ever so true. i dont think most people realize that in a real war. even the enemy soldiers have family that feel the same way about them as we do our own soldiers.


  6. ok, ok, thanks to the unicornhunter i see this is a TNG page, but i feel i still must answer this question. lol. anyway i like most of the characters on DS9 alot, but i think im gonna have to say CISCO, hes a strong leader, but not so refined like picard, hes more rough around the edges, and bold. he hated being somekind of religious figure, and consequences be danged, he did what he thought was right, and along with all of this he was one heck of a dad. plus i liked him as HAWK, on SPENCER FOR HIRE. anyone remember that? well sorry if i upset anyone by putting a DS9 character and not a TNG. but i honestly cant think of a TNG character that stands out in my mind that i liked so much more than any other one.


  7. [*]Five relatives - one Army, two Navy, one Marine, one Air Force -- all on deployment or with orders for same

     

    [*]The possibility of making a mockery of the UN. It needs more teeth. And a big bat.

     

     

    why dont you just go ask your five relatives what they think of your bashing, and raving. they all VOLUNTEERED for DUTY, GOD, AND COUNTRY. what you say, is a mockery to EVERYTHING THEY DO, AND STAND FOR AS U.S. SERVICEMEN, AND WOMEN. further more, your right the UN needs bigger teeth, and a HUGE bat, but as your statement incures, they DONT. i have many relatives that were in the service, and friends, i know they volunteered with FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT IF CALLED ON THEY WOULD DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR BELEIFS IN IT. all this armchair quarterbacking that we all seem to be doing is so easy for us, because what we think or do doesnt affect the entire country or the war. youve gotta know somewhere in your mind that these decisions our elected officials make about war, DONT AGAIN DONT COME EASY OR LIGHTLY. so why dont you all just lay off a little and give them a brake. i dont agree with a lot that our government does, but we as a nation put them there, so why dont we all stand together as a nation behind our elected officials. DONT ANY OF YOU REMEMBER 9-11? UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. all the wonderful things the U.S. people, and other nations around the world, just seemed to fade away really quick, then all the petty arguments and bickering just started right back up again. and you talk about selfrightous, gun toting people, just what are you acting like, a little SELF RIGHTOUS yourself arent you. and whats wrong with gun toting americans, its our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BARE ARMS. it is your right to voice your opinions, but why dont you think long and hard before you say some of what you say. LOVE THE FREEDOMS YOU HAVE THANKS TO THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN THAT DIED FOR THEM.


  8. ABSOULTLY NOTHING

    i do NOT want to go to war AT ALL.. honestly in my opinion Bush is an IDIOT.. but then agian we can not have another Pearl harbour Tragedy... so i guess in a way hes smart..

    I agree with Bush being an idiot but not the whole 'Pearl Harbour' thing. It is more oil then it is anything. Sure there is are a SMALL AMOUNT of respectable reasons to go to war but not enough. The bigger threat is coming from North Korea and is growing in Iran. Those people have worse weapons then Iraq. We all need to sign a peace treaty. War will get us nowhere but dead.

    war doesnt solve everything. with that said, my father is a marine retired, as i and him have discussed, he didnt agree with the war till he seen the evidence that sadaam had his hand in the first attack on the world trade center in i think '95, also if you look at the WMD and the fact that he and his regime fund, and help terririst organizations. War is justified, he is not only a threat to the Iraqi people, as HITLER was to the jews, and all who opposed him, saddam is a threat to the world. Mad men like him would use WMD's against the US as soon as he could. i also think that as the sole remaining super power, we in the U.S. have a moral obligation to help others that cant help themselves. also if you think about it, as the last big dog on the block, any, and all terrorists, and criminal governments would take any opportunity to take a shot on us. not only does it make them look BIG AND BAD, but they think it would knock us back a step. but as their finding out, piss us off and we'll just come back at you even stronger. look at all the PHONY SURRENDERS that the iraqi regime used to kill US, AND UK soliders. sadaam like any other bully is just a coward, he couldnt stand and fight he ran and hid, letting his men die in vein for him. maybe some of the reasons for this war arent the greatest in some peoples mind, but over all it is a just war. also as i have said in other topics we who are debating this wouldnt have the FREEDOM to do this if it werent for past wars, and the SOLDIERS who DIED for our FREEDOM. UTOPIA is a great idea, but it'll never happen like it should, or like we would all want. there can never be a true peace without MILITARY MIGHT, and the resolve to use it. heres a quote for you PEACE THROUGH MIGHT. i dont know who said it but its true. if we just sat back and never did anything, everyone would come right at us. after 9-11 im all for showing the world that we, and all FREEDOM LOVING, PEACEFUL PEOPLE, wont just sit back and take what you throw at us. and just because we havent found Sadaams WMD's doesnt mean they werent or arent there, he just had a lot of time to hide them, after all we did try to find a peaceful resolution for the past 12 years since the first time he showed major aggretion. (they should of finished it then). when we just sat back and watched hitler look what happened, we sure couldnt let that happen again, right? so while those of you who think were just big bullys are debating this or criticising the war, think about where your freedom to do so came from. its a wonderful freedom to be able to debate this and many other subjects, and i am glad to do so, for it is EVERYONES RIGHT to have their own opinion. AFTER ALL THAT IS WHAT SO MANY MEN, AND WOMEN DIED FOR, OUR FREEDOMS IN WHATEVER WE DO.

     

    SEMPER FI

     

    LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

     

    ps

    BUSH is no idiot, he is a good president. and im sure HE as well as all of us hope that this war will end soon, and we can all live again in peace.


  9. its a shame that some of the people of IRAQ are stealing from themselves. on the other hand i dont blame them for looting the palaces and everthing else Saddam had stole from them to begin with. but to steal their own national artifacts is just a shame, and criminal. as far as what we're protecting first, hey whether you like it or not we, and the rest of the world need, and want the oil, and as a new free societ, they are gonna need all the revenue they can get, so start with what they will use the most to get income, and move on to the others. you gotta start somewhere.


  10. after you all mention it, i guess you do see them together alot. but as much as i can see Hoshi becoming a good cast member. i still think she whines way too much, and is very unsure of herself and everything around her. she needs to become a much stronger character. after everything she's been through, she really SHOULD be a lot tougher than she is. dont you think so. let me know if im wrong.


  11. Not all of us "younger" fans have discounted TOS.  I grew up with TNG, but I made it a point to see every episode of TOS so that I could understand what started it all.  I love all of the series'.

    thats great. a lot of the younger ones seem to say TNG. sorry to stereotype you like that. im glad that you had an open mind, and checked it out. :) it may be corny, and campy, but for the late 60's it was a great show, and kept on going. for without that campy cornyness there would'nt be anything today.


  12.   Wonder if she is "old enough" to be seen on ENT.  I know it's a stretch, but I wonder?

    Yes she is old enough. if you recall the episode where TNG crew went back to Mark Twains time, and found Guinan, so yes shes definately old enough to be on ENTERPRISE. i cant remember the name of the episode. But its the one where they found Datas head on the planet with time traveling creatures.


  13. anything that makes you think of TOS is ALWAYS a good thing. after all TOS is a great series, and it did start it all. all the YOUNGER ones on this board should at least think about watching TOS before they say TNG is where its at. but alas i guess if we were younger TNG would be where its at for us too. lol. oh well.

    TOS LIVE LONG AND PROSPER. :laugh: :) :)


  14. OH YEAH I FORGOT,

     

     

    ILL WAVE THE FLAG ANYTIME I WANT. ITS MY GOD GIVEN, SOLDIERS DYING FOR. FREEDOM LOVING RIGHT TOO.

     

    just as much as it your RIGHT TO YOUR OWN OPINION. think about where that came from though. and that you sure wouldnt have that in IRAQ.
