Technically, warp drive is a non-inertial form of propulsion (which is how it bypasses c), but the shows & some of the books aren't always true to the published ST physics.

The books usually do a better job of explaining things.

Oh yeah, Oleg. I remember that episode and when ever I get a chance to watch Next Generation, I always hope that's the one. I hope your rerun was a local and not something I could have caught on cable, I'll be KICKING myself. That is an awesome episode. I remember getting choked up when I first saw.

My favorite Trek episode is any of the DS9 episodes with the alternate universe. The only Trek babe hotter then Major Kira was Evil Kira.

Yes attendant, what ever you say attendant.

You try translating that into its intended meaning (URL) Take your best shot, and I'll tell you what it means later.
It doesn't make any sense in Portuguese, I can tell you that !!

I'm not really a big fan of Star Trek in the sense of episodes and characters, but more so the Star Trek universe in general - the ships, the races, the exploration of space.

I enjoyed most of TNG from the third season onward, as well as most of DS9. I never really got into Voyager that much, but I think I've seen most of the episodes by now. I watch Enterprise and some of the episodes are well done, but I'm really tired of the whole time-travel thing. I wish they'd stick to stories like the Vulcan-Andorian conflict, Romulans, exploration, things like that - those stories seem to fit better with the way I think of Pre-Federation times.

Translation #1:
The Avenger in X100, with agitation of the fist. The Killer in Curyok IV, it light becomes gloomy

Translation #2:
The Avenger in X100, with agitation of the fist. The Matador in Curyok IV, she lights darkens

Translation #3:
THE ONE Avail oneself of something well into X100, along ado from the fist. The killer well into Curyok IV , she lights blackens

I prefer the agitation of the fist part to whatever it actually means. Where did you get the other two translations?
