What I always thought didn't make sense was that Data was supposed to be a totally unique experiment in artificial human-like intelligence. But all of the holodeck characters seemed to be just as intelligent as human-like as he was.

For me, I'd have to say the ENTIRE Enterprise series....

ChadTower · « **Reply #42 on:** August 24, 2005, 03:28:21 pm »

Hrm... I saw half of the one with the whales... I saw Wrath of Khan a few times, because I had a broken leg and it was on HBO that month... I think I saw that one where the bald guy and Kirk were on the same planet as Le Petit Prince and fought a rainbow...

...wait, was that last one the month I found that stash at the basketball court?

I know most of us are video game addicts who don't have outside lives, but please, we don't have to advertise it by letting a Star Trek thread go over 2 pages.

...

All original Star Treks are equally bad
All NG were the ensign solves everything are equally bad
All DS that refer to the captain as a worm hole god are equally bad
All Vgers that revolve around the holo-deck are equally bad
I have no complaints about the latest series

Star trek is cool.

Beats those STAR WARS movies BY FAR.

TNG had the best writing. I didn't like Wesley Crusher. But IMO, it was the best series. Favorite movie, I'm split between The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country

fredster · « **Reply #47 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:12:53 pm »

The undiscoverd Country? OMG.
I guess kirk getting the green chick (who we don't really know was a chick) was okay.

I did like the blood floating in the air, nice touch.

The best movie was Generations. Except the stupid way they killed Kirk. Shot in the back? He battles aliens from every direction in a 100 episodes and some old guy shoots him in the back? What is up with that?

USSEnterprise · « **Reply #48 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:16:08 pm »

Generations is the Best TNG movie. He was only shot in the back in the alternate ending that wasn't seen until the Special Edition DVD, but his death in the movie was pretty stupid as well..

I couldn't stand The Voyage Home

fredster · « **Reply #49 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:24:56 pm »

My favorite episode of all Star Trek is the last one in "all good things" where Riker comes in with the suped up version of the enterprise and lays waste.

I guess Rodenberry didn't like that kinda crap, he wanted the Kirk that talks through problems.

Personally, I like the photon torpedo's to do the talking.

USSEnterprise · « **Reply #50 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:27:14 pm »

"All Good Things" Had to have been one of the best episodes.

Yes. That movie bit hard.

Oddly, I think one of my favorite SCIFI movies (and really going another path from the thread) is Starship Troopers.

The whole bug thing was stupid, sure, but the sheer carniage was impressive.

ScoopKW · « **Reply #55 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:51:13 pm »

I'm surprised nobody mentioned "Spock's Brain."

It was certainly Nimoy's least favorite.

I just rewatched "Spock's Brain".

The premise isn't all that bad, but it seems to have the single worst script (and possibly direction) of any of the classic episodes. With a competent writer that could have been a good episode.

Sure, someone stealing Spock's brain might not be all that plausible, but it is a whole lot more plausible than the 5 EXACT REPLICA's of earth they encountered that apparently had identical history to earth up until something happened differently.

USSEnterprise · « **Reply #64 on:** August 25, 2005, 04:47:22 am »

I've only ever seen maybe 10 of the TOS episodes. Same reason why I don't see the problems with Enterprise, even though the last episode was awful and disappointing

Robby is very cool. Forbidden planet was one of the first good SCI-FI movies.

Daniel270 · « **Reply #68 on:** August 25, 2005, 02:28:23 pm »

I think we've had enough Trek for a good while... we've had at least one series in constant run since TNG started in the mid 80's... time to give it a rest for a few years... let some time go by to develop new ideas and hopefully new producers who won't run the franchise into the ground.

Or perhaps is it time to just quit with Trek altogether? With Roddenberry long gone, some of the TOS actor's gone and the franchise gone stale, should we finally just let it go and hope for something else that's fun and enjoyable to come along?

Stingray · « **Reply #69 on:** August 25, 2005, 02:35:25 pm »

I don't know, I found Enterprise to be a very, very good series. I was hugely bummed when it got cancelled. What needs to happen with Trek is Paramount needs to sell it to someone who gives a crap about producing Sci-Fi. UPN is the worst network on Amerian TV, unless I suppose you're a teenage girl, that seems to be their target demogaphic these days. I wish the Sci-Fi channel could get their hands on Trek. I used to hate Sci-Fi original productions, but their new Battlestar Galactica has totally changed my mind about that. Since it came out I decided to give the two Stargate series a shot too, and they're both also very good shows.

clanggedin · « **Reply #70 on:** August 25, 2005, 02:45:53 pm »

The worst STNG episode was the one where the first Security Officer gets killed the the alien that looks like a tar pit.

I did like how Worf became the security chief. He's much more intimidating than that dike.

As for DS9... I can't recall a bad episode. I would have to say every episode that didn't have Chief O'Brian in it was a not good episode.

The best STNG episode was the one with Wesley and that girl (Ashley Judd) when everyonw gets addicted to playing that game. I was only the best becuse of Ashley Judd was sooo hot in it (I was in high school when I first saw the episode).

Stingray · « **Reply #71 on:** August 25, 2005, 03:17:06 pm »

Ashley Judd is hot no matter what she's in.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #72 on:** August 25, 2005, 04:07:05 pm »

Was Spock's final death ever established? If not the fact that Vulcan's live twice as long as humans, and the fact that Leonard Nimoy is pretty old (but still healthy last I heard), opens the door for a TNG era show staring Spock.

Stingray · « **Reply #73 on:** August 25, 2005, 04:08:18 pm »

If I recall correctly he was still alive the last time he was mentioned on TNG.

-S

fredster · « **Reply #74 on:** August 25, 2005, 04:41:01 pm »

Yes, last time we saw Spock, he was on Romulus as a double agent.

His dad Seraek died. Pickard delivered his "essense" or whatever and the episode was filled with touchy feely vulcan emotion.

That would be a good one, maybe he wouldn't get shot in the freaking back. Spock kept in pretty good shape too, Kirk got fat as a horse.

I'd like to see Spock fight Q in some episode.

Stingray · « **Reply #75 on:** August 25, 2005, 04:44:35 pm »

I'd like to see Jessica Simpson have a pillow fight with Catherine Bach circa 1980.

Best... episode... ever.

I thought Skin of Evil was a good one.

That entire episode, The Game, was basically about an addiction to orgasms.

ChadTower · « **Reply #77 on:** August 25, 2005, 08:16:07 pm »

I like orgasms. I like Ashley Judd.

I would like to try combining them.

USSEnterprise · « **Reply #78 on:** August 25, 2005, 08:23:57 pm »

I like the way you think. Thats what the holodeck if for

ChadTower · « **Reply #79 on:** August 25, 2005, 08:25:31 pm »

No. The holodeck is inferior. I would like the Total Immersion Videogame Better Than Life.
