    Also think back to "Statistical Probabilities" when the patients were given access to Dominion-Federation negotiations, at one point they had the computer play a part of Weyoun speaking in his native language.

     

     

    Oh man, I thought that was so awesome! I keep forgetting that other races speak differently but the UT makes everything ok.

    But, I remember an episode of The Next Generation where there are different time shifts on the Enterprise. They say "Computer, morning shift" and the lighting changes, or they say "Computer, night shift" and the lighting completely changes again. That is exactly the same, but Enterprise is a starship that is originated from Earth so the times don't really matter.

    Doing that on a starship may be so that people don't get space fever or whatever. They might go crazy with no difference in lighting. Plus, having the light changes would bring back memories of planetside and probably help morale.

     

    And since Galaxy-class vessels are designed for deep space missions, anything that keeps the crew happy would be an advantage, which explains quarters being toward the outside of the ship so everyone gets a windo and why all the windows are big, as well as all the comfortable furnishings laying around the ship.

    Check it. Picard is always wanting to destroy the Enterprise crew over alot of things. When Nagilum took the Enterprise, he was about to blow it up, with everyone on it, just so Nagilum wouldn't kill half the people for his own education. Though in First Contact, he refused to blow it up when the crew was all evacuated and it was infested with Borg trying to destroy the world! So he wouldn't blow up the Enterprise when it only contained the doom of the Earth but he would blow it up when half the crew was threatened to be killed for the learning of another species. Need I say more? Saucer separations, emergancy self destruct, I've heard it a million times! Picard is trying to kill off the Enterprise and it's crew!

    First with Nagilum, as a captain one of Picard's responsabilites are the lives of his crew. Letting Nagilum kill them off and just stand idly by would be unacceptable. There was nothing to gain except knowledge at the expense of lives. If Picard would have let that happen, he would have been just as guilty as Nagilum.

     

    As for First Contact, destroying teh ship would have killed all of the Borg, including the Queen. Phasers modulations running out or gone coupled with the fact that the Borg had taken over most of the ship. Sure, destroying the Enterprise was the easy solution but it was the best way to get the job done with no margin for error. Any error in a different attempt would have put the future of the Federation and the galaxy in jepoardy. And it was Data who deactivated the self-destruct I thought to gain the Queen's trust before double-crossing her.

    Side question:

     

    The other Vorta in the epiosode said the Vorta are supposed to committ suicide while captured.  Do you think he did it?

    I'd have to watch it again, but I don't think Keevan was like other Vorta. He seemed fairly cynical and pretty much out for his own skin ... you really don't see much devotion to the founders from him, certainly not like you see in Weyoun.

     

    Actually, i meant the other Vorta, Yarim or something like that. He's the one they ended up capturing at the end of the episode.

    I haven't seen it in awhile, I'll have to watch it again.

     

    I did like it when they talk about getting the shuttle into the hangerbay in time and Sulu says, "Actually this is my first attempt" and Sybok (is that his name) is like, oh no

    Ok, so was this episode basically a way to provide some comic relief from the heavy subject of the War while still including things from the War?

     

    But, I thought the episode was great. So here comes the main point of this post. I'd just like to see what evidence you all found to supporet that this epiode was used as a lighter side to a war story. Here's two things I liked:

     

    -Quark and Rom bursting into Sisko's office by accident (Brilliant!)

    -Keevan's fate at eh end of the episode, doomed to walk into a wall forever

    Hey, does anyone know where to find some good Star Trek AIM buddy icons?

     

    Specifically those dealing with starships would be the best but I'll take what I can get. Thanks everybody!
