Yeah, I guess it's the 25th anniversary of Encounter at Farpoint?
That's correct.

Big fan of Star Trek, though I guess my avatar makes it obvious. Though I'm embarrassed to say that I certainly need to brush up on my Klingon. TNG is where I got my start as a child. The original soon followed, then DS9 (which I'm not as familiar with). Never really got into Voyager or Enterprise, though I sometimes watch Voyager in reruns.

I was joking about being trilingual. Only bilingual and the second language is not Klingon. I do know a few words and phrases not enough to get by on Qo'noS. My mom is a Trekkie from the TOS days so that's how I came across it. I can't remember the first episode of Star Trek I saw but I'm assuming it was TOS. As far back as I can remember Sunday mornings consisted of getting ready for church while watching it. Truth is I wasn't a big fan of TOS as a kid but I do remember enjoying the TOS films and TNG. From TNG forward I watched each ST series and film in its original run. When I was about 16 or 17 I watched the entire original series from beginning to end and enjoyed it a lot more than when I was kid. I'm currently re-watching DS9 and I just started the 4th season last night. I have to say it is quickly becoming my favorite series. I love TNG but DS9 took a lot more risks and I think it paid off. I think Ron you are correct that the B5 pitch had influence on DS9. Also argofan87 I think DS9's first two season were stronger than TNG's. They start laying the ground work for everything in the second season which is really cool watching it now knowing what is coming. If I have to rate each series it goes as follows for me:

DS9
TNG
TOS
ENT
VOY

Am i wrong to hold the opinion that the original series was awesome as was some of the movies but the multitude of next generation type tv series and more recent film suck heeping piles of doodoo?
Nothing wrong with that, you are entitled to your opinion. As long as you don't start saying that people that enjoy the other series have lost the "ability to think for themselves" you don't cross the line of forcing your opinion on to others.

the words are synonymous. (They mean the same thing.)

In defence of T-Bone, langue, is one French variation, of the French word for language.

They're violating the prime directive just by attempting to save this planet.

Not necessarily. There's the prime directive fro TOS time and one from TNG time. Look at any directive and add 80 years of interpretation to it and we have the differences.

In Kirk's day they saved planets and had no qualms with interacting with the natives.

No it isn't, the bar is there sure, but there is so much more. It is easily the grittiest Star Trek series, it takes risks and explores areas that the writers would only dream of under Mr. Roddenberry.
I have to agree with argofan87 here. DS9 asked a lot of great questions. It pushed the universe of Star Trek to its limits and in a good why. I highly recommend it!

Agreed with DS9. Just glad that JMS tried to sell Babylon 5 to Paramount 89 as that obviously helped get the DS9 project started in a better way than may have been otherwise. (just see Voyager and Enterprise to see what I mean)

I don't disagree that the show is trying to find itself in the first season but I think the second season is where it starts picking up. Also if you can deal with TNG season one and two than DS9 season one and two are a cakewalk in comparison.

I suppose that is true. But I did manage to nonchalantly stroll into a convention, around 1995 or so....

I was driving down the 427 on a Sunday afternoon, after visiting a friend for the weekend, on his farm north of T.O. Well, he wasn't a farmer - just rented a house surrounded by farmland; the perfect cover for a weekend of drinking, music, and feasting, in the finest Klingon tradition. Anyway, I decided to top up the fuel in my car, so I got off the highway at Dixon Rd. And while heading back to the highway, I noticed a Star Trek Convention sign, on some hotel. Deciding "oh what the hell, let's see what the fuss is all about", I pulled into the lot, and walked into the door of the hotel. I was curious about what it would cost to get in, but I wasn't going to pay more than twenty bucks. Having two cans of beer left (pardon the term) in my cooler (more at home of course), I cracked one and proceeded to follow the signs.

There was eventually a wide hallway, with about five fold-up desks, unfolded, on my port side, with people lined up in front of them. No doubt these were trekkies, registering. Now, since I am not a trekkie (I've gotten laid at least twice, in my life), I figured this registration process did not apply to me (and it didn't). So, beer in one hand, wearing flip-flop beach sandals, shorts and a t-shirt, I casually walked past the tables, and into the main hall.

It was kinda cool; exhibits, people with funny faces, freaky merchandise being sold. Some real alien types (for a moment I wondered if I was at a Liberal or NDP convention). Anyway, no big deal. But it was fun. No doubt no one dared question me, due perhaps, to my foreboding Klingon demeanour. Even though I was wearing shorts (I would have told them that I was a hotel guest, just wandering around - and if that didn't work, I would have cut them to little pieces).

No harm done.

Now, to explain something I wrote above:

If, you've gotten laid at least twice, in your life, then you are not, a trekkie.

See, even a trekkie can somehow, possibly, maybe, perhaps get laid once; but after that, everyone hears about it, and that, is the end of that.

Ka' Pla !

I have no problems with an action movie. I personally think Gene Roddenberry's vision where everything is "Kumbaya" is utterly ridiculous. The Wrath of Khan was the best Trek movie and it contained a ton of action. But, what made that good film is that it had a good story to back-up the action. The question is whether Into Darkness will contain a similar element. The trailers do not seem to bare that out, but then again the trailers rarely tell the whole truth.
I have no problem with action either but like you said it has to have a good story to back it up. The Wrath of Khan was not just an action movie.

Search for Spock suffered from the fact that it was sandwiched between II and IV. The Wrath of Khan is well-known for its action and other themes that were discussed earlier. The Voyage Home is well known for the fact that it took a risk to make Star Trek a little more light-hearted and it was successful. While, Search for Spock isn't a bad movie per se, it lacks the elements that II and IV had making it the weak link out of that trilogy.

So I saw Star Trek Into Darkness yesterday and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. After first viewing I feel it is better than Star Trek (2009). It still has flaws but fewer flaws than ST2009. The biggest flaw is the opening sequence part of the 9 minutes that were shown with The Hobbit back when it was released. I don't think the conversation about that scene went much further than the way one of the writers describes how it came up:

"I like the Enterprise rising out of the ocean…that was an idea that Alex pitched and the minute he pitched it I was like ‘It is going to piss off some fans but I love it, it is going to be great!" (http://trekmovie.com/2013/05/04/exclusive-roberto-orci-alex-kurtzman-reveal-how-fans-influenced-into-darkness-talk-next-movie-more/)
It pissed some of us because it makes no sense to the plot what so ever. All you wanted was to see that so you forced it in there with no good explanation. Anyway if you enjoyed ST2009 you will probably enjoy this one.

Will

05-22-2013, 10:39 AM

The movie was not without it's flaws, but I enjoyed it. The very fact that they were attempting to save the planet was in violation of the Prime Directive let alone Kirk taking the Enterprise off of the ocean's floor to rescue Mr. Spock. Also, how the heck did they land the ship in the ocean without the natives noticing? After that, the movie improved although I felt the ending was a little weak.

Ok, admittedly, I've given this some thought; I still don't know who Jack and Patrick are.

Of course, being members of the Q Continuum, we are not often privy to, nor interested in, the mere imaginings of Earth-bound mortals. So, I am afraid that we will reluctantly be forced to ask you to elaborate.

True, but also on Miles O'Brien. In fact, in one of the last episodes of DS9, he told Miles that he loved Ezri (Dax) passionately, but that he loved Miles more.

Since I could never hope to match such ingenuity, I would have to play the pure hetero version of Bashir.

BTW, I think T-Bone and Seven of Nine (from ST Voyager) have a lot in common, when it comes to humour appreciation (smile).

I think you have misinterpreted this exchange between O'Brien and Bashir from "Extreme Measures (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Extreme_Measures_(episode))":

Chief O'Brien: [of Keiko] She always said I... I liked you more than I liked her.
Doctor Bashir: That's ridiculous!
Chief O'Brien: Right.
Doctor Bashir: Well, maybe, maybe you do, a bit more.
Chief O'Brien: What? Are you crazy? She's my wife, I love her!
Doctor Bashir: Of course you love her - she's your wife.
Chief O'Brien: Yeah.
Doctor Bashir: I'm just saying, maybe you like me a bit more, that's all.
Chief O'Brien: I do not.
Doctor Bashir: You spend more time with me.
Chief O'Brien: We work together!
Doctor Bashir: We have more in common.
Chief O'Brien: Julian, you are beginning to annoy me.
Doctor Bashir: Darts, racquetball, Vic's lounge, the Alamo... Need I go on?
Chief O'Brien: I *love* my wife.
Doctor Bashir: And I love Ezri - passionately.
Chief O'Brien: You do?
Doctor Bashir: Yes.
Chief O'Brien: Have you told her?
Doctor Bashir: Not yet. But I will.
Chief O'Brien: Oh, yeah? Huh... When?
Doctor Bashir: When I'm ready. It's just that I... like you... a bit more. See? There, I've admitted it.
Chief O'Brien: Yeah, well - I *love* my wife.

I agree Seven of Nine probably wouldn't find certain drunken rants funny either.

Nah, I was just teasing. In the last month or so, on at least two or three occasions in reply to other people's posts, I remember T-Bone saying "That's not funny". Then finally someone else asked (and I paraphrase), "Who made you the arbiter of humour on this forum? This isn't a board meeting, it's an internet forum. Lighten up, dude." Which was actually quite funny.

Hence I couldn't resist the Borg quip....

Ok look, T-Bone, I don't want to get into a Geek-Fest contest with you (which I would surely lose),

But if Bashir loves Ezri passionately, and likes Miles ... a bit more,

Then Shirley, he has laid his cards on the table, non?

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Even the Borg Queen has (possibly) a sense of humour (since they've assimilated a variety of species).

I would suggest that you start at the top.

Please show me where I in the last month or so, on at least two or three occasions replied to someone's post with "That's not funny."

Then finally someone else asked (and I paraphrase), "Who made you the arbiter of humour on this forum? This isn't a board meeting, it's an internet forum. Lighten up, dude."
That is a pretty liberal paraphrasing of the original post:

'Funny' is subjective. It's an Internet fourm. Not an offical board meeting.
I agree with Mulder that humour is subjective and that not everyone is going to find the same things funny. I've never claimed to be the "arbiter of humour" on this forum. I don't find the majority of things you post funny, but that's just my opinion. I'm sorry if that upsets you.

Doctor Bashir: And I love Ezri - passionately.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with someone being gay or bi-sexual. In this case, outside of this one piece of dialog which you seem to think implies that Bashir has romantic feelings towards O'Brien there is no evidence to support that theory in the rest of the series. Bashir never expresses that he has romantic feelings for O'Brien to anyone but he is pretty open about his romantic feelings towards Jadzia Dax (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Jadzia_Dax) and does end up in a relationship with Ezri Dax (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Ezri_Dax). Bashir was also in a relationship with Leeta (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Leeta). Despite what you may think two men can "like" even love each other and still be heterosexuals. At first O'Brien didn't even want to hang out with Bashir but with Keiko (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Keiko_O'Brien) and Molly (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Molly_O%27Brien) away from the station months at a time they ended up hanging out. Turned out O'Brien and Bashir did have a lot in common and they became close friends which is what that exchange is referencing.

BTW, your apparent ability to summon conversational quotes from the series, is pretty geeky.

Hi, T-Bone, sorry about the late reply (just got back).

Now, I swear I had read, someone making the "arbiter of humour" comment. This is something I could not make up. Perhaps it was a second commenter/poster. And don't worry, I don't care whether you find my attempted humour funny or not. You won't hurt my feelings. I'm a cold-blooded Kozak, not to mention Conservative. I'm thick-skinned. And I swear that I had read you say (two or three times), "That's not funny.", in reply to other people's humour, nevermind my own. But the more you get serious about this, the more I will attempt to mock you. It's all in good fun.

I must disagree with this. I know that the Abrams films aren't popular amongst the hardcore Trekkers, but I'd still put this film ahead of all the TNG movies (except First Contact) as well as V and The Motion Picture.

It's just amazing what sometimes happens when you drink all night (no, not every week --- twice a week, if possible).

So here I was ready to watch the STNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" (one of my all-time favourites; in fact, probably my favourite), when the cable went all squirrely and digital-square-like ... luckily, being a computer-owner, I found this, on the internnet:

http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1339148/Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation/

(SO3E15 - Part 1, played the whole episode, in full screen.)

Hopefully it works on your machine. I get no ads, pop-ups or distractions.

Though speaking of cable, I imagine some on this forum will appreciate, this :

I have fond memories of being scared by both the theme song and the content of this series when it originally aired. I also remember being super exited for the first film.

Also if anyone is interested this is being released on 10th (http://xfilesnews.com/index.php/xfiles-news/latest-news/321-the-x-files-volume-two-to-be-released-on-september-10th). I have Volume One (http://www.lalalandrecords.com/XFiles.html) and it is fantastic but unfortunately out of print now.

I'm pretty sure he is just a photo bomber. I feel kind of bad for Michael Dorn that guy got in the photo and he got pretty much cut out on the right hand side. I think it's really cool that this cast loves getting together and that they are all close after so many years. It's disappointing that they didn't get as great a send off as the original cast did with STVI, though topping "All Good Things..." would be difficult.

It is extremely difficult for me to narrow down a top ten list, there are so many great episodes. I would like to know what criteria they used or if it was just personal opinion. "In the Pale Moonlight (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/In_the_Pale_Moonlight_(episode))" would defiantly be in my top ten, it is one of my personal favorite DS9 episodes. "The Trouble with Tribbles (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Tribbles_(episode))" though iconic is actually a pretty silly episode so I don't know if I would include it. I would also take "In a Mirror, Darkly (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/In_a_Mirror,_Darkly_(episode))" over "Mirror, Mirror (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Mirror,_Mirror_(episode))" but with out the original, the prequel wouldn't exist. I think I would also move "The Measure of a Man (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_Measure_Of_A_Man_(episode))" in to my top ten as well.

Sorry, Spock was more than that:

Plato described the human soul as composed of three aspects: spirit, reason and emotion. Internally, we each strive to balance these three forces. If we manage to do this well, we become a more virtuous person and attain a fourth virtue: justice. By placing Kirk (spirit), Spock (reason) and Bones (emotion) into challenging situations, we get to observe this interplay of these forces, and we get to hear them say what would otherwise be an internal dialogue.

It is "accessibly cerebral". It explores interesting questions (What is a person? When does ownership become enslavement? How does gender identity apply to AI?) without forgetting to entertain. Most importantly, it respects its audience by not over-explaining. I really love that.

Not a huge Sci Fi guy and I wouldn't go out of my way to catch a movie but I looked up some of the ones I liked. In no particular order Westworld, ET, Planet Of The Apes, Back To The Future, 2001 A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner. All original movies.
I love some of the B type movies that you stumble upon every once in a while filling channels. I do love older less polished flicks.
I thought Blade Runner was cool as hell at the time. Oh and the original Mad Max.
All great films. There is a new Westworld show coming out next year that is a remake of the film but looks like it has potential:

In the game Kylo Ren states "face me ******" though it seems Disney is trying to debunk that. As for the movie, there's 5 parts where it's hinted very strongly as to who Rey is. In saying that, I can't deny the way Han looked at her at times made me question the other heavy hints. I'm pretty sure the next one, much like Empire, will provide the answer to the question.

EDIT : Should also mention that in the books Han and Leia's eldest son also turns to the dark side and it's his older twin sister (by 5 minutes) that is the "chosen one". Although from my understanding, the films are canon and the expanded Universe isn't.

That will likely ruffle a few feathers among the Roddenberry purists. Meyer always presented a bit of a grittier, darker Trek.

From the response online it looks like the Roddenberry purists are in the minority. Most seem to be happy Meyer is onboard. Meyer has already said this series is going in a different direction. I'm definitely curious what direction that will be. I hope it's set in the prime universe and I would like to see it go in a different direction in the sense that it is not just another starship exploring strange new worlds. That's been done now a few times and there are many other aspects of the universe to explore.

Speaking of Roddenberry purists. I didn't see that coming:

Ugh. They hired Gene Roddenberry's incompetent son just for appearances? I'd call that a troubling sign.
