Oh, and I did go to a convention once, ten years ago. I got to shake hands with Chekov, but that was about as exciting as things got (which is why I've never gone back).

----I prefer an All-American Jesus like Jeffrey Hunter.----

Hunter's awesome, but the fact that he shaved off all his body hair to play the part always made me a little uncomfortable.

Check out the "Trekkies" documentary to see people who've gone way too far.

Sounds like a friend of mine named Grabowski. He watched the ST re-reruns so often that he completely absorbed Spock's personality and lost his own identity. Grabowski ended up saying "Interesting" all the time and is probably right now waiting for the 7 year Vulcan cycle to end so he can get himself some Pooty-Tang.

Picard wasn't any better. See, only Kirk is da' man here!

This troubles me because I find myself in agreement.

[Flux Capacitor]

EXCALIBUR is just about the best medieval epic anyone's ever likely to make, though I am looking forward to KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, the big Crusades picture coming out later this year.

And while I'm spewing out worthless trivia, didja know that the director, John Boorman, has Excalibur herself (the prop, at least) hanging over his mantle? :)

I liked Tasha, and her one night stand with Data was pretty funny, but I think she needed a few acting lessons.

I have the unfortunate memory of men calling attractive women (and vice versa) "foxes". Ugh

Who are these people? Pike? Who? What?

I fear we're all showing our age today. I grew up on the original Star Trek.

[TheWyzzyrd]

"... I grew up on the original Star Trek."

As did I. I considered it a groundbreaking show... thought-provoking, taboo-breaking (remember Kirk and Ohura's kiss?), and humorous, all while prodding us to "... go where no man (their word, not mine) has gone before".

[Not A Snowbird]

Exactly! Pity these youngsters who missed out.

"Spock had to have sex once every seven years or he would go crazy"

[RetroWarrior]

" Of course he was an idiot. That's why they replaced him with the best ST captain ever: James T. Kirk"

Sorry to burst the DUmmy's bubble, but the original Captain, who's name I've forgotten, die in a motorcycle accident before the pilot (later to become the menagerie) was finished.

While I understand that this conversation was meant to be frivolous and funny it still is revealing. These guys have no concept of responsibility, duty, or honor.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

[steve-b]

The themes of responsibility, duty, and honor, the question of "what maketh a man?", were at the very core of "The Cage", and yet the only thing these snickering jackasses get out of the episode is "man, I'd abandon my ship and crew to get some from the hot chick on Talos!"

A DUmmie brain confronted with the concepts or responsibility, duty, and honor would melt down just like one of the culture-controlling computers fried by a Captain Kirk speech.

'Picard wasn't any better. See, only Kirk is da' man here!

[True. I just couldn’t accept Chrome Dome Picard as a Star Trek captain. However, he did portray a great Lenin on Materpiece Theater’s Fall Of Eagles.]'

PJ - Patrick Stewart also does an excellent job in his one mane stage presentation of Dickens Classic 'A Christmas Carol' The soundtrack is a 2 CD set with Stewart doing all the voices and sound effects. Its very good.

I thought the overall quality of TNG far exceeded the original. Poltics played a greater role in TNG and beyond in this series. Kirk, McCoy, and Scott were men of action not thought. Spock is a character and Nimoy the actor is one for the ages. He would have been great in any of the supersedent versions beyond the original.

It should have been Ensign Kenny

Then they could say "They killed Kenny, those ___________ b@#$%ds"
