Yes you're right The words "Beam me up Scotty" have never been spoken from what i've read.

Just like Sherlock Homes never said "Elementary my dear watson".

btw I was never really a fan of those tng Conan Doyle related episodes...

Same here and I didn't like the one with Mark Twain either. I found both characters annoying although the time travel and hologram escaping from holodeck stories were cool.

I also didn't like the way they often went to the "Ancient West" in the holodeck on TNG - why the obsession with the 19th century. They should have been more daring and picked more unusual times in history.

Back on topic, I never really liked the original series - although I'm glad it was made as it led to TNG. Kirk comes accross as a cheesy buffoon IMO. Meanwhile, Picard is educated in both literature and science, intelligent, classy, brave, commanding and so on - a real Renaissance man. An example: Remember the episode where he was kidnapped by Cardissians and they tortured him but still he refused to give in to their demands - that was very impressive. If I became a captain or a CEO or something like that, my leadership style would be influenced strongly by his.

I hated Kirk, the chauvinistic caveman. Picard like the previous poster said is a rennaissance man. I prefer Picard.

In all fairness to him he was being tortured for days if not weeks at that point he was told if he didn’t give the cardies what they wanted they would of used Crusher also that the enterprise-D was destroyed along with 1,000 of his crew then there was the added presser of 2-3 guards walking towards you as your being told "there coming to get you tell me now!! and you will live a good life"

And at the end he didn’t give in he might of though there was 5 lights but he never said it
