I don't like it, there's no elegance to it. There's far nicer examples of a beautiful ship

Well it is pre watershed

You can't beat the classics:







There are a lot of other nice ships, I just personally don't like the Akira class, this is a dog ugly angle to see it too

cyrusdvirus

Steamrunner Class is another example of something that just doesn't fit into the 'nice' column



Defiant? Sexy as the day is long.

Soverign? Elegant and Classy

Nebula? Short and stumpy, looks unwieldy.

Norway Class are just WRONG!!!



And yet if they filled in that gaps between primary hull and the nacelles, i think they'd actually look quite cool

Myrddin

Defiant is an example of complete bad-assery meets fluid & sleek



The Sovereign Class is very sleek indeed

IvySlayer

Sovereign class is basically a Diet Galaxy class.

Love in FC when the Enterprise-E flys past the Defiant. A lot of people wonder why didn't Sisko command it, I assume it was the same reason they didn't want Picard there.

Look at it from the top down and it's a nice ship, bottom up it looks like it left some bits in the shipyard.

Came across an episode of Voyager I enjoyed, Extreme Risk.

I liked the whole Delta Flyer, space race thing, the Torres thing is meh-ish.

While the whole torres angst was a bit yawn worthy, I was glad they dealth with the death of the maquis. I mean, they had established communications with the alpha quadrant and...oh yeah....we killed them off on DS9.

It would have been ridiculous not to atleast mention it on voyager.

akira is a damn good looking ship as is the steamrunner in a funky kind of way

norway is just stupid, why would it be built like that?

constitution class are kinda stupid looking too, why would a layout like that ever occur...
and galaxy, good from certain angles, ugly from others.

Normally I wait until after an episode to comment on it, good bad or indifferent. In this case, I just can't. It's still playing here in the background yet I'm compelled to post up how seriously crap, recycled, rehashed, tripe it is.

Voyager, Season 1 - Ex Post Facto.

It's about three different TNG/DS9 eps in one, and it just does not work. Paris is accused of murdering the neglected wife of the usual brilliant scientist {Riker was the same in A Matter of Perspective}. His punishment is implanted in his brain {O'Brien in Hard Time}, & Tuvok melds with him to find the truth {god knows how many episodes feature this for this reason}.

Truly awful, awful stuff. Especially disappointing after the damn good Eye Of The Needle

I'm watching it now and couldn't even be bothered to let it finished before I waded through this thread to find this post. It's terrible.

Watching Way of the Warrior I realised that the Klingons need to be updated for new trek films/series. They were dispatched quite easily when they boarded DS9. Even in TNG Picard was able to kick their asses. This leads me to the conclusion that the Klingons should be fcking badass 7 foot tall walking nightmares. Like the Nausicans in Tapestry, they were intimidating, except the Klingons should be even moreso. Their entire culture is based around warfare so they should be incredibly hard to take on in combat, it should be no small task to fight a Klingon, their strength combined with their martial abilities would render nearly all opponents at a major disadvantage. They should be as frightening as the Vikings were. I also think their costumes should be updated to reflect this new, more savage image for new trek.

Watched Voyager season 2 'Meld' last night.

Very very good episode, there is a murder on the ship, & Tuvok quickly finds out it was Suder. Suder is brilliantly portrayed by Brad Dourif, and tbh, he's always brilliant at any roles he takes on. Luther Boggs in X-Files springs to mind.

Tim Russ does a fairly masterful job of a struggling Vulcan, after him & Suder mind meld. Tuvok cannot understand why Suder would kill without a motive, & melds with him to find the truth. The meld greatly affects Tuvok who begins to lose control of his emotions etc.

Fantastic episode :cool:

There were only two actors that I would have seen in the Grima Wormtounge role, Lord Of the Rings.
One was Dourif and the other was Coombs (baiscally a less refined Weyoun)

nyarlothothep

Dourif also stole the show in Dune. Great performance for the small amount of time he was on screen owing to the excessive plot.

helimachoptor

He was also in Alien 4.. he was quite odd (in a good way) i think it's his eyes they are very dark and really give the look of a lunatic

downwithpeace

Played and interesting character in Babylon 5 as well.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

was also fantastic as the doc in deadwood

How long since your last one? Once I got mid way into season 1 of my recent DS9 run through, I was so glad I decided to do it. Season 2 even has so many gems in it. Missed it when it was over & faced the inevitable...a Voyager run through

helimachoptor

Was watching it in CBS action or one of those think it finished a year or so ago

Star trek is awesome. No matter what rerun is I on, I can't help but watch it.

Just watched TNG episode The Loss, where Counselor Troi loses her telepathic abilities.

She is the biggest b**** ever in that episode. Throws her toys out of the pram big time.

To be fair, she became disabled. Is it reasonable to expect someone to adjust to such a loss at the drop of a hat? If I had lost a sense (like vision or hearing) I depended on my entire life, I'd think I'd have a hard time adjusting.

Troi did go off the rails in Man of the People though.

Just realised, Marc Alaimo is in Total Recall (original)
