It seems to me that the Spanish were rather brutal in their conVersion process. Anyone remember the Inquisition? It was convert or die. NOw, what kind of choise is that? Give up my god or go to face him/her/it? I'm glad we live in a more enlightened time (not counting the extreme muslims) and country (if you live in the US). At least most of us can choose our religion nowadays, instead of having it forced down our throats.

Don’t take this wrong, but the Inquisition was spread throughout Europe. Not to all parts, and even in the areas it happened it was not evenly applied, punished, tortured, um whatever. It is more of a Hollywood notion, the “Spanish Inquisition” (which I take it you are referring to) than to an actual Spanish only Inquisition as the name may imply, and thus mislead some. I hope this proves to be some good info, if not and you already new than just disregard.

My favorite was the one where the captain got split in the transporter into good Kirk and bad Kirk. The best part of that episode was when they had the big fight in engineering. It got so hard to switch seamlessly between Kirk, Kirk, Stuntman A and Stuntman B that it was almost like they stopped trying. "Hey wait, that's not Kirk. Wahhh?!?"

Speaking of engineering, what purpose did those white PVC pipe thingys serve other then convienent bats for Kirk to pull out and wack someone over the head with at the end of the fights?

"Naked Time" - if I have the name right on the episode. Spock getting the "seven year itch", T'Pau, the lyrpa...and of course, the greatest fight music ever created. "Trouble With Tribbles" also gets the nod as a more comedic episode. Harry Mudd was a great recurring character. And the alternate universe..."I have many operatives, and some of them are Vulcan". Set the standard for all parallel universes being evil and having beards.

I liked Doomsday Machine because there was a ship crewed entirely by Vulcans, and the illogic of such a weapon was beyond their understanding.

In TNG, "Rightful Heir" and many of the episodes positively focusing on Worf. The Borg shows are great, "Hugh" was a good twist, but I'd even add in the McCarthy-like trial episode. That one got me watching and enjoying TNG.

I do enjoy Enterprise. This past week's was a good one. I wasn't sure until the end if the show was going to end with the Zendi as diverse and divided (some even being unaware of the war), or if it was going to swerve us and have that Zendi character deliberately leading Archer astray.

There were so many good episodes of Star Trek the original series that even today kids seem to enjoy watching them. They all gripe about the special effects, but overall the stories are solid and enjoyable.

What I loved most about the old series was the cool toys they had. Those tri-corders, phasers, and communicators were just fricking cool.

The show was decidedly more military oriented than later series and I think that is also why it has such a unique feel to it.

The series also seem the most real to me. They had batteries onbaord the star ship when things went south. Thing broke, engines overheated, circutes blew out, people died.

To mean TOS represents the way thing could be, without thefuncky costumes that is, if we are lucky enough to expand our technology and move out into the stars.
