Quote:

Any religion that claims it is the one true religion (such as all monotheistic religions to one degree or another) is an intolerant religion. There are very few tolerant religions out there.

toleration is required of opinions and people. respect is only required of people and to a lesser extent, animals. to an even lesser extent, objects.

that Last bit wasn't required.

One DS9 one I always liked was worf's Batcholar Party. The scene when Worf asks if some one will offer their blood and everyone steps back except for the good doctor. Loved that one. THat was one of the funniest ones ever. Just written for the hard core fans...

I am currently watching STar Trek 3.
I really like that one. THe music is so moody. And L.M. directed it very well. The scene with the mind meld with kirk and sarak. With the clock ticking in the background....

Kirk to McCoy
"How many fingers am I holding up."
McCoy to Kirk
"Thats not very damned funny."

Excelecior to Mr. Scott
"What Level?"
Mr. Scott's Reply
"Up your shaft."

"My god man with ears like those." - McCoy

Kirk
"My God Bones, what have I done?"
Bones
"What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live."

Ahhhhh the memories.

"No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in space."

My favorite DS9's were anything with Evil Kira. Major Kira was hot already, but Evil Kira...growllll.

Ok heres what i think of the ST series.
(disclaimer: ok I'll admit I like special effects)

TOS (The Original Series (or as i see it The Old Series))
I only saw these Last like at least 10 or 15 years ago. Can't say much except they at least created Star Trek.

Movies
Love the third movie, I have it on tape. The rest are not of any interest except NG, particularly First Contact and Ive never seen the first one or Nemesis.

Next Gen
Any episode exploring the Klingons. Later episodes as well. I think the effects, sets and costumes get better near the end (of course). Its funny that in early NG episodes its a big battle when Enterprise fights Warbirds or 3 Birds of Prey, at the end of DS9 its 600 vs 1200.

DS9
Gets better in the Last few seasons as they have the war. Ok, so some people think DS9 is a rip of B5. If DS9 is a copy of B5 then its a superior copy. Kudos to B5 for the idea of a 5 year arc and great effects, particularly mass driving Narn into the stone age. hey I recorded every episode at the time, and still find the tapes with old episodes on them, not something i did with DS9. But go back to the beginning after you have seen the whole thing and laugh at the sets, costumes and acting. We have a B-grade actor, a semi porn star, an ex-stockbroker, and a child star. At least Deleen has a Yugoslavian Oscar. Oh and great job killing off a character to save a character who goes and leaves the show straight away. Yeah i know most of the budget was on the great CGI battles. Remove the suspense after you know the plot and the episodes have nil watch again capacity (cue B5 fans saying, but you see something you missed before each time you watch). Finally I must note my displeasure at the battles at the end of DS9. Where i live we are at least 2 years behind in showing (apparently the local network puts it on but doesn't care about it, 1 o'clock in the morning) so i saw each episode on video once the war started. I looked forward to great effects during the final battle and what do we get, clips thrown together from previous episodes.

Voyager
I liked any episode with the Borg. Liked the Temporal weapons episodes as well. Kes is just someone who happened to be around in the first year or two.

Enterprise
So far great again. Favourite episode is the one with the Borg. Great to see Archer and the others getting their comeuppance from the Borg,("Lets save those poor scientists", well Archer lad fat chance of that). Bad how Phlox can remove nanoprobes even though they can't do it in another 200 years, still the requirements of the plot takes precedent. Theres always a chance some merchant vessel will find those 2 Borg like Lore was found (as if thats going to happen). I hear Archer loses his dogoodness against the Xindi and is willing to do anything to stop them. Trip should not lose his hatred for what they did. I look forward to the episode where the planet killer is destroyed at the Last minute (and hopefully malfunctions wiping out the Xindi)

and now to get off topic.

some people are going on about people being killed in the name of God etc. Someone brought up their view of the Inquisition. Heres mine if the discussion is open.First my father is protestant and my sister happens to be orthodox. Stories of the cruelty during the Inquisition are stories made up by protestants to discredit The Church. Ok, some people may disagree, thats their view, this is mine. Hey, I saw it on a TV documentary so it must be true, right.

Tolerance?

My grandpa was Catholic and married a Protestant.

They raised my father Catholic, and my aunt Protestant.

My father married a Protestant.

All 5 of us boys were raised Catholic. (no girls)

I married a Protestant and have 2 sons.

When my sons grow up, I hope they marry a member of the opposite sect.

Guys, let's repsect Boromeo's wishes and move the tolerance discussion to another thread, if anyone is interested in continuing it at this point.

I saw the "ceasefire" episode of Enterprise first time today. Very nice shots of Vulcan and Andorians ships !!

Atrocities, can you tweak Andorian shipset and include some ships similar to Andorian's ships shown in this episode ? They seem more like whales, not birds

The problems with having a 3 year old who refuses to go to bed at 8:00 like we want him to. I've only seen 1 1/2 episodes this season. Borg???? Definitely missed them, but it was Q who off-handedly let the Borg know about the Federation and the Alpha Quandrant. If it hadn't been for that, it might have been a couple hundred more years before the Borg to that area of space. And as far as the Xindri, again, I've missed those episodes. Even though I haven't been able to afford to buy any of the Star Trek dvd collections (all over $100), I might somehow save the money to buy the ones for Enterprise when they come out, as I'm so lost I don't know what's going on. Speaking of Enterprise, of the ones I've seen, my favorite is the one where the 3 Vulcans crashland in 1950's America and have to live there for awhile. I'm hoping they show the fate of the Vulcan who stayed behind.
