that's funny, I almost posted a borg also. But I thought that it did not sound like one.

ok new show.

yep.

Hey arn't they supposed to be a military based organization.

Yep. That's why we send 80% of our command infastructure on all away missions. Stupid

But hey at least it is predictable.

Wouldn't want a show that is orginal in any way.

Tonights. esp. two thumbs down.

Horrible. Contrived , and zero orginal thought.

Going through the motions.

When I heard that line.

"can we use the transporters "

I thought the answer should have been.

'Sorry to early in the show. We have to have a 'problem happen' where the two leaders help each other solve the problem, and whola. Story ends'

Man. was I surprised.

Please keep the insults non personal.

Thanks

Hey, the Terrans/Federation didn't actually clue in to the fact that command staff should not be on the front lines until after TOS

When I heard that line:
"can we use the transporters "

Everybody should probably assume that the transporter won't work.
IE: the question "The transporter won't work down there, will it?"
"Of course not!"
"The Last time we beamed somebody up from a planet, he had leaves stuck in him; this time he's sitting on rocks. I don't think so."

IMO, it looks like they can barely get the beam through an atmosphere (wind -> turbulence -> bad). The space station in ep1 was sitting in a nice calm area, and its hull is not terribly deep, dense or irregular (with all the docked pods blown away).

This show gave a hint on one of the rules that the fed is later based on. When archer wanted to knock out the novians and the transport them back to the ship then try to convice them to return to earth. Ta'pol pointed out that the novian way of live would be lost and that was not right. They then decided to help them relocate to a safe spot on the planet.

the makings of a fed rule.......

Funny. I never ever argue about stuff.

But Star trek does it for me everytime.

Here I am complaining about a night time soap.

Makes me think of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons ESP. Halloween Neutron Bomb

'Oh, I have wasted my life.'

Ah but we have to be passionate about one thing in life. I just happened to pick Star Trek.

Oh and Beer, music and .............

Later

I prefer a nice Stout or Porter on a brisk fall day. Of course, the Sam Addams radio commercials remind me of FDR style fire-side chats, and since Sams is something of a staple thats decent and easy to find everywhere (around here, anyhow) and as such is easily identifyable in the light of the FDR analogy.

As for startrek, i prefer the Cisko - Woof - Martok trio when they were are all about kicking *** and taking names. throw in a sprinkling of Dax, and a dash of ferangi humor, and you have your self a very good season of trek. of course, you have to reflect back on Kirk and crew in a warm, nostolgic light and view the shows as entertainment, not as serious SF: "Brain, Brain! What is Brain?!"

I sort of resent TNG, because even though everyone watched it and liked it at the time, it obviously was very silly and most people only liked it because a 25 year gap in televised science fiction forced them to like anything trekish that poped up on the idiot box.

now, with the wider variety of programming, and the higher availability of recorded movies both via DVD and cable/satilite services, i feel less confined and less 'forced' to enjoy trek, and i feel very comfortable disliking both voyager and the new seriese. and a solid 50% of DS9. and in retrospect, a solid 60% of TNG.

in comparison, i have strongly disliked about 10% of Space: Above and Beyond, 5% of Bab5, and out of the 20 or so episodes that i have seen, 0% of Farscape. thus, it is safe to say that paramount is loosing my interest with trek. I even like Andromeda better than the Lastest trek series, and thats bad.
