  1. In order my favorites are:

     

    First Contact

    The Undiscovered Country

    The Wrath of Kahn

    The Voyage Home

    Nemesis

    Insurrection

    Generations

    The Search for Spock

    The Final Frontier

    The Motion Picture

     

    The ranking of movies past Nemesis was a matter of splitting hairs. It would be like asking a vegetarian whether they like steak or pork chops better.


  2. Anyway, what are you talking about no NCO's? On DS9 the StarFleet engineering staff is made up completly of NCO's, hence Chief Miles O'Brien...

    At least until Nog made Ensign, but you notice he didn't take over as department head when he did. O'Brien was still in charge.


  3. Yes and no, well a little iffy because well odds are it won't happen for a few hundred years so then we may have a way to protect from them. I'm more scared of the alien invasion that is being planned but the infected nava scientists who are trying to have us convinced that there is no life on Mars when actually there is a large race of Martians who want to take over Earth because their water sources are diminishing (Jk)

    I'm more frightened of those "canadians" I keep hearing about. :lol:


  4. While I agree that there should be more NCOs around it is probably difficult to write for them. I mean a crusty old Petty Officer watching the enlsted scrub the decks or whatever would be pretty boring for the audience, wouldn't it?


  5. Star Trek has been in production, in some form, since 1987 - and that's not counting the movies. I do think it is time to give the franchise a break and pick it up in, say, 5 years?


  6. Wil Wheaton is a talented actor, but his character suffered from bad writing. His best episodes came later when he was allowed to show he wasn't perfect, that he couldn't always save the day.

     

    I took exception to showing him in a Starfleet uniform in Nemesis. He QUIT THE ACADEMY!! What the hell was he doing in uniform with no explanation offered? Not even in the deleted scenes.


  7. I'm assuming that in the interin between today and TOS or ENT we developed some kind of anti-nuke shield. This technology would surely be incorporated in the shields used on starships. So even if nukes are more powerful than photon or quantum torpedos it would largely be a moot point.


  8. I say yes, he should have.

     

    1) Q is easily the most powerful being in the universe and is potentially a threat. We need to learn as much about them as possible and having Riker be a Q would be good for that (assuming he remained uncorrupted)

     

    2) It would have been good to see Riker learn to use his Q powers and eventually do battle with Q.

     

    Of course Riker could no longer be a regular character, but it would have been interesting.


  9. Sadly, maybe the fact that he was such a good actor, that people believed him so strongly as Mr. Spock did prevent him from other receiving other roles.  I did think he could act circles around William Shatner who did go on to have another series.

    2 if you count Iron Chefs USA or whatever it was called.
