Mmm...
An interesting point is that the Vulcans do not actually lack emotion. Inside they are actually very emotional -- they have just used logic to mask / control their emotions.
I agree but in all other series most Vulcans seem to have had better control. I think the actors who played Spock and Tuvok had a good mix of logic and emotion. The fact that Vulcans where very emotional but hide them made them even more interesting.
TNG was my first special interest...though at the time I defined it as an obsession. It was all I watched and all I talked about. Now I like to put it on when I really need cheering it up, it gives me a safe sort of feeling.
I like TOS too...but I never could get into DS9, Voyager (though I watched when Q showed up), or Enterprise. None of them measured up to TNG, for me.
<sigh> I miss it. <hugs>

I ONLY like the original Star Trek with the original cast. I could accept no other. I once sat in Scotty's lap for a photo
Recently I have become keenly interested especially in Deep Space Nine. (Started collecting DVDs etc) and I'm perfectly allowed to change my mind regarding which series is my favourite so there!
Ah, Deep Space Nine - "To boldly stay in one place where no-one has ever stayed in one place before..." *grins*
<<Stolen line, but a good one>>
1. How do people who don't earn money still manage to gamble and buy booze?
I vaguely remember a mention of "food allowance", so they probably have an alcohol allowance, etc. They could use these allowances for gambling, in theory...
2. If the waste extraction system breaks down mollecules, and replicators put together mollecules, does that mean that people are eating recycled poo?
*grins* Good point...
* I had one more question, but forgot what it was. *
The answer to your third question is "12 pancakes".
Btw, has anybody heard the skit "Capt Picard at MdDonald's"? It's a scream!
Yes! I would LIKE fries with that. Make it so. *grins*

I remembered!
Can someone please tell me, how do stardates work?? Is there an easy way to tell if something happens a day, a month, a year later?
Apparently the original stardates were picked entirely at random, as a means to show people that some things happened later than others (by being larger stardate number), without tying them down to a particular date.
I just had a quick google check to see if they invented a proper stardate system later, and found a note saying that if something happened at noon, the stardate needed to end with a .5. This would indicate that an increment of 1 is an increase of one day - the same way excel dates work. I'm not sure how you'd find out which date they were counting from, but once you worked that out, you could work out the actual dates of all stardates.
Does anyone else here collect the DVDs, with the goal of eventually assembling a complete set?
By "complete set", I mean all the movies, as well as every episode of every series. (That being the movies, and then TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, and don't forget the animated series and the remastered TOS.) I don't have any of the TV series yet, but I'll get to that after I've finished with the movies. (There's a "collectors' edition" available now at a decent price, in gray cases each with a bonus features disc.) How many editions of the movies have there been on DVD? I ask that because I have a couple of them in an older edition than the gray collectors' edition.
sooo......my last name is Tribble.......no joke. Any thought?
hehe. That's pretty cool. You should meet my dad's friend. His last name is Enting and everyone used to call him Treebeard.
ps. Check this out.
^ Bummer.
They had some spammer trouble a while back, but it's a pretty cool bunch on there now. (Relatively few idiots.)
Notice how Enterprise isn't even on the list. That one was baaad.
Thank you!
We miss it on the TV now. After DS9 no-one here seems to broadcast it anymore. We'd love to see all the series on TV again. Our daughters would love it too I think. Esp. the 10 year old. It's been more than 5 years that I saw Star Trek.
I made a list of all the Ferengi rules of aquisition that have been mentioned, but then I lost the list. Does anyone else have them? (If possible including the revised rules of aquisition from Zek after he was de-evolved by the phrophets.)
There's actually a couple of books by Ira Steven Behr and Armin Shimmerman that list the Rules of Acquisition.
One is "Ferengi Rules of Acquisition" (funnily enough) and another - not as comprehensive as a list but quite cute all the same because it tells a whole bunch of stories to go with each rule - is "Legends of the Ferengi".
Or you could just try Memory Alpha. Hang on I'll find a link...
