    Now the Klingons, on the other hand, they knew how to build ships. Their shuttles weren't much to look at, but you can count their capital ship classes from Enterprise to Voyager on one hand. None of this "Oh, this nebula is green! We have to build a new class of ship for this one!" crap that the Federation pulls.

    Frankie Muniz with Daniel Roebuck in agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

     

    Daniel Roebuck in Unification (TNG) with any TNG character

     

    Anthony Hopkins

    OK, here is my try.

     

    Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs.

    Jodie Foster was in Contact, written by astronomer Carl Sagan.

    Carl Sagan and Steven Hawking I'm sure were on some science show together.

    Steven Hawking had a cameo playing poker with Data.

     

    OK, so I cheated a bit. :P

    Ted Danson with Brent Spiner (guest star) in Cheers

     

    John Huston

    Duh! You missed the obvious one!

     

    Ted Danson and Kelsey Gramar frim Cheers.

     

    Kelsey Gramar played the Captain of the USS Boseman in TNG and was the voice for the same in First Contact!

    Here is an even better one. That's right, I'm quoting myself. So what?

     

    Ted Dansen and Kristie Alley in Cheers.

    Kristie Alley was Lt. Saavik in The Wrath of Kahn.

    (She was replaced in The Search for Spock. Go figure.)

     

    Now HERE is a challenge. Ronald Reagan.

    Why do the shuttles have "number" classifications?  I've always believed that each ship class, and similar ship designs, have their own shuttle design which explains why the shuttle always mirrors the mother ship.  I also find it hard to believe that they only designed 11 shuttlecraft in 100 years.  If they're going to design a full-size starship, how hard would it be to design one or two types of shuttlecraft to go along with that design?[/color]

    Because you want the shuttles to be interchangable so that one shuttle can work with several ship classes. (Why we feel the need to have so many ship classes is another issue but I won't get into that here.) Think about what would happen if each of the aircraft carriers in the US Navy were to have different planes, each tank in the US Army fired a different kind of shell, etc. There would be no interchangability.

     

    Does that leave room for "special" shuttles such as Captain's Yachts and the Argo and the Defiant's shuttle? Sure. But the workhorses of the shuttle pool should be interchangable (and cheaply mass produced).

    [glow=]I think the only reason for that was, that Defiant was too small to have a regular shuttle bay, So the shuttle had to be "Drop Launched" Enterprise just kinda used the same idea... Pritty cool way of doing it though.[/glow] :P  :(

    Now I know THAT wasn't on the Defiant!

     

    Edit: The Viper pic didn't make into my reply.

    There was a visual error in this episode: In the last scene, Dr. McCoy is seen wearing a yellow shirt.

    Nurse Chapel was referred to as "Lieutenant" in this episode.

    Maybe it was laundry day and they ran out of clean blue shirts.

     

    And military nurses do have rank. It is even possible for a nurse to outrank the doctor she is assisting. (The doctor is still in charge, he just has to be nice about it. :P )

    I've never been stuck in an elevator or locked in a building.

     

    The strangest thing that ever happened to me regarding an elevator was a time I could hear a phone ringing and when the elevator stopped on my floor I discovered it was the emergency phone in the elevator that was ringing. I answered it and it turned out to be a wrong number from a guy wanting to order Chinese food. LOL

    I would have taken his order just for fun :P

    LOL - True story, some restaurant misprinted their number in the yellow pages and listed my dad's number instead. He started taking reservations!

    If I remember right, First Contact said the flight took place around 10 years after the war. Governments would be regrouping and stable enough for Cochrane to aquire the resources he needed but still not be fully in control.

     

    And what about President Schwarzenegger? According to Demolition Man they changed the Constitution so he could run (some time after all restaurants became Taco Bell). :P

    I have to go with Q. He's always funny... ("Starlog entry... Stardate... Today!" :P )

    I always wondered why they had to give the stardate - as if the computer isn't smart enough to figure it out for itself!

     

    Q has to be the funniest - and what made him so damn funny was everyone else was so artificially stoic around him! Even Riker who would normally love a good joke! And he was the only recurring character to make Data laugh.

    If we aren't supposed to eat animals then why are they made out of meat?

     

    I actually think it is unethical to be a vegetarian. When you kill an animal for food it is quick and relatively painless. Sure if you have ever seen a slaughterhouse or something like that it is not visually appealing to us, but if you look at the killing act itself the animal doesn't have time to suffer (with the exception of veal). But forcing an animal to starve to death because you wanted it's food for your salad is even worse.

    Bachelors of Science in Economics with 2 Associate degrees, one in Business Administration and one in Accounting.

     

    But you left out professional certifications, such as a C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant) These can be even more important than a Masters degree in terms of income-earning capacity.
