    Sorry, afraid not, no more than there are any with cannibal clowns (what a weird sig you've got!). There is an episode of Voyager where the ship splits into two copies and one of them gets attacked by Vidiians (sp?), and the invading squadrons get to the bridge just before the auto-destruct goes off, but just allowing Janeway to say to the marauding hordes (so to speak):

    "Hello, I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway. Welcome to the Bridge."

    Will that do?

    seriously, most of you would laugh at the notion of watching easteanders, yet you watch the most popular soap opera of all.

    kinda funny really.
    personally if its on and im bored i'll watch. the amazing thing about the trek series is that no matter what one you watch, it has that 'trek' quality that started with TNG and went right through voyger, ds9 and now enterprise.
    its like home made apple pie....

    oh and the original one really sucked donkeys
    apart from the trouble with tribbles. with only slightly sucked

    (well, some episodes are a bit questionable, but I have always been a fan) and excuse me, but Cptn. Kirk, Spock and McCoy were cool!!! :(

    closest I think would have been that episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" in the next generation. At the end, the Enterprise is getting the crap hammered out of it by Klingons. Riker gets killed by a lovely big blade of flying shrapnel to the head. The producers wanted to show Wesley Crusher getting his head blown off, but they ran out of budget.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,237 ✭✭✭Coyote


    the very last ST:TNG you get to see two ver. the enterprice blowing up.
    that is about the best you will see.

    I never actually knew that, I seen it quoted on a T-shirt when I was on holidays - it looked good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭buddy


    Is this turning into a Simpsons thread, anyway, Start Trek rocks, shadup all you b*tches - u watch what you want.

    Enterprise is looking very good!

    Last nights Enterprise was pretty damn good... the one where they got their phase cannons installed and beat the alien ship! Though the aliens had a bit of a "Mars Attacks" thing going on.. apart from that it was class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    i finally got to see one woohoo!
    yeah i liked it, about freakin time they got phasers too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭buddy


    Yeah, it was good, mad that their phasers did'nt hurt the aliens when they fired at them in the hallway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I would hope they come into it again and we can find out why! Did they go through them or just not have any effect? Maybe they were holograms... na.. doubt it! since the portable holo emiter was 29th century earth... they would have been far too advanced then..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    they may have researched primarly in holo technology and not so much in the other sciences ;)

    but i don't think they were holograms, perhaps they're just imune to that type of energy, or perhaps their suits absorbed the power from the phase pistols!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭Typedef


    I heartly endorse this tacion pulse or phase transition coil.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    explain yourself Typedef!

    My understanding is that they're pojecting large amounts of electrical energy, but how to you keep it from dispersing?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭Typedef


    Oh and the singing at the start sucks, if I wanted to listen to Phil Collins, I would go choke a chicken or something.
    Plus, as Captain Kirk aptly represents, men of the age were swashbuckeling, studs and there is no way Krik would have gone more than 10 episodes without hitting on the Vulcan....... damn political correctness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    oh i thought u were goin to explain how the phaser cannons work.. ah well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭Typedef


    Oh the aliens.... how come they were immune to the phase pistols, but the ships shileds were not? Ok I know they had overloaded the cannons, but still, either the aliens are immune to phase pistols and thus why not their ship or the phase pistols are for wimps.
    Wimpish phase pistols make baby Jesus cry.

    It's kind of psychotic to quote yourself...... but, I guess you wouldn't be paranoid if they weren't all trying to get you :D

    WTF! :D

    fine don't answer the question!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭Inspector Gadget


    FWIW, it's probably due to one of those marvellous gizmos-noone-explains-yet-do-miraculous-things like Heisenberg compensators for transporters... Most likely that beautifully-worded piece of technobabble, the "annular confinement beam", or similar... :rolleyes:

    All I know is that I'll have eight please... and a couple of (fusion) impulse reactors to drive 'em :D

    The Next Generation was quite good for a while when it came out first. I liked the early characters like Tasha Yar. Then they started running out of decent plot-lines and the same stuff popped up over and over. Can't say I enjoyed DS9 or Voyager, have yet to see an episode of Enterprise.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 316 ✭✭IRISHLILY24


    ok, the original show, because i was forced to watch it by my mom when i was little, had a few good shows and the next generation was good when it first came out.

    Star Trek Rocks, and did you know the the Enterprise D was blown up Approx. 32 times in the course of the series? (Not all onscreen)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭Typedef


    Clearly it's the Babylon 5 trolls who are the real menace when it comes to Sci-Fi.

    Yes the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, those Babylon 5 heads are probably commies and are quite obviously enimies of the state.
