trekkers is not politcally correct for both sexes ....

I like Picard myself ...although kirk was the best method actor of his day ...

But all those geeks at the Star Trek conventions always take offense to the term Trekkie. (no I have not been to a convention, but I would like to one day..)

...am I allowed to say that out loud?

The captains were all good....but I have to say I had a crush on Kirk...but Picard was so charismatic....ooooh, a big word....lol

I love the old Star Trek and Next Generation the best.....

Live long and prosper....Mr. Spock was cool...but then I was a science geek....lol

It's okay. Your friend won't have to do an intervention if you admit you're a Trekkie. Women who admire Star Trek are rare and that's a turn on. My fav Star Trek Babe: Marina Sirtis. An alien hottie.

Picard does it for me everytime..."Make it so..."

KIRK :Bones ..quick....this....man...needs....help....he's.... not ....breath...ing...

MCcoy:He's dead", "He's dead, Jim"

Kirk:...no...why..did ...she...have..to ...say...the...love..word...why.....

Spock :There is a old vulcan proverb..."it is as it was therefore it shall be "

Kirk :..what ...the ..hell...drugs...did ...u ...give...Spock ???

I really enjoyed that series. I was disappointed when it ended. Scott Bakula made an excellent captain. I watched Quantum Leap religiously too, just because he's a fantastic actor. Talk about versatile! Of course it didn't hurt that he's incredibly hot too!! In case anyone cares I saw where Sci Fi picked up the Enterprise series. I think it starts tonight.

The only reason I haven't been to one, Geek is because I haven't been in the vicinity of one whenever they're held. One day though, I'll get on my Deanna Troy outfit and hang out with the rest of you Trekkers! I'll be sure to wave to you!!

...or maybe my Jadzia Dax get-up...

I love Star Trek! I never could get into the very first series, but all the rest of them, I loved...

My favorite characters from each series:

Original - Captain Kirk
Star Trek - Captain Picard most definately! My favorite line - "Make it so." Mmmm
Deep Space Nine - It's funny - this is probably the series I enjoyed most, but remember the least. But I have to say, I'm stickin' with my captains, here. Captain Sisko was so easy on the eyes. And he seemed so human, whereas some of the other captains seemed surreal sometimes.
Voyager - Commander Chakote (spelling???) I always thought he was so handsome. (And btw, hoss - I'm more of a Captain Janeway kinda girl than I am a 7 of 9... I'm not sure why, but I am)
Enterprise - the chief engineer, Trip. Mmmmmm.......

01-08-2007, 09:38 PM

Somehow I knew you'd be posting on here, Rainbow!

Good choices, dear. Here's mine...
ST- Scotty - that guy could make the Enterprise run on dental floss and bubble gum!
TNG- Picard, of course, but I loved so many others - Warf was awesome! Pure animal! Q was the best villan! Deanna's mom was wonderful, what a character!
DSN - yes, Sisko, because he was always calm and very much in control, but also because he was hot, and had a voice like velvet. *melt*
STV -yes, Chakote was great! so was The Doctor!
STE - Capt. Archer! Yowza!!

Because you are very intelligent, and also sort of quirky, in a delightful way.

People who didn't watch Star Trek think all the series were about photon torpedoes and work holes. It was far more than that. What appealed to me was the character development that was evident in every series. You got to see the dynamics evolve among the crew, see how different races interacted, and all of it reflects our society or had some historical reference. There was always a strong moral lesson to be learned in every episode. That's what fascinated me.
I'm also fascinated by astronomy and time travel, which was a big part of every series. The fact that every series was chock full of really hot guys doing sexy, masculine adventure stuff didn't hurt either!
Those are good, too, Jazzy. i thought about Scotty for ST... He was the McGyver of his time, wasn't he? LOL

That's so true Jazzy. On both parts. I was watching an episode of Voyager yesterday where Harry Kim accidently switched places with a dead body during an emergency transport. The whole show dealt with the after-life. Is there one? If so, where is it and in what form is it? Really thought provoking questions... I loved it....

Not to sound stupid, but are all these other shows takeoffs of the original series? I have never seen any of them except for Star Trek. I thought that one was great and I enjoyed all of the characters. I think i liked Spock the best.

Star Trek does not take into account the stupidity, selfishness, and horniness of the average human being. Allow me to describe some of the more obvious errors in the Star Trek vision.

Medical Technology
On Star Trek, the doctors have handheld devices that instantly close any openings in the skin. Imagine that sort of device in the hands of your unscrupulous friends. They would sneak up behind you and seal your ass shut as a practical joke. The devices would be sold in novelty stores instead of medical outlets. All things considered, I'm happy that it's not easy to close other people's orifices.

Transporter
It would be great to be able to beam your molecules across space and then reassemble them. The only problem is that you have to trust your co-worker to operate the transporter. These are the same people who won't add paper to the photocopier or make a new pot of coffee after taking the last drop. I don't think they'll be double-checking the transporter coordinates. They'll be accidentally beaming people into walls, pets, and furniture. People will spend all their time apologizing for having inanimate objects protruding from parts of their bodies.

'Pay no attention to the knickknacks; I got beamed into a hutch yesterday.'

If I could beam things from one place to another, I'd never leave the house. I'd sit in a big comfy chair and just start beaming groceries, stereo equipment, cheerleaders, and anything else I wanted right into my house. I'm fairly certain I would abuse this power. If anybody came to arrest me, I'd beam them into space. If I wanted some paintings for my walls, I'd beam the contents of the Louvre over to my place, pick out the good stuff, and beam the rest into my neighbor's garage. If I were watching the news on television and didn't like what I heard, I would beam the anchorman into my living room during the commercial break, give him a vicious wedgie, and beam him back before anybody noticed. I'd never worry about 'keeping up with the Joneses,' because as soon as they got something nice, it would disappear right out of their hands. My neighbors would have to use milk crates for furniture. And that's only after I had all the milk crates I would ever need for the rest of my life. There's only one thing that could keep me from spending all my time wreaking havoc with the transporter: the holodeck.

Holodeck
For those of you who only watched the 'old' Star Trek, the holodeck can create simulated worlds that look and feel just like the real thing. The characters on Star Trek use the holodeck for recreation during breaks from work. This is somewhat unrealistic. If I had a holodeck, I'd close the door and never come out until I died of exhaustion. It would be hard to convince me I should be anywhere but in the holodeck, getting my oil massage from Cindy Crawford and her simulated twin sister.

Holodecks would be very addicting. If there weren't enough holodecks to go around, I'd get the names of all the people who had reservations ahead of me and beam them into concrete walls. I'd feel tense about it, but that's exactly why I'd need a massage.

I'm afraid the holodeck will be society's last invention.

Sex with Aliens
According to Star Trek, there are many alien races populated with creatures who would like to have sex with humans. This would open up a lot of anatomical possibilities, but imagine the confusion. It's hard enough to have sex with human beings, much less humanoids. One wrong move and you're suddenly transported naked to the Gamma Quadrant to stand trial for who-knows-what. This could only add to performance anxiety. You would never be quite sure what moves would be sensual and what moves would be a galactic-sized mistake.

Me Trying to Have Sex with an Alien
-----------------------------------

Me: May I touch that?
Alien: That is not an erogenous zone. It is a separate corporeal being that has been attached to my body for six hundred years.

Me: It's cute. I wonder if it would let me have sex with it.

Alien: That's exactly what I said six hundred years ago.

The best part about having sex with aliens, according to the Star Trek model, is that the alien always dies a tragic death soon afterward. I don't have to tell you how many problems that would solve. Realistically, the future won't be that convenient.

Phasers
I would love to have a device that would stun people into unconsciousness without killing them. I would use it ten times a day. If I got bad service at the convenience store, I'd zap the clerk. If somebody with big hair sat in front of me at the theater, zap!

On Star Trek, there are no penalties for stunning people with phasers. It happens all the time. All you have to do is claim you were possessed by an alien entity. Apparently, that is viewed as a credible defense in the Star Trek future. Imagine real criminals in a world where the 'alien possession' defense is credible.

Criminal: Yes, officer, I did steal that vehicle, and I did kill the occupants, but I was possessed by an evil alien entity.
Officer: Well, okay. Move along.

I wish I had a phaser right now. My neighbor's dog likes to stand under my bedroom window on the other side of the fence and bark for hours at a time. My neighbor has employed the bold defense that he believes it might be another neighbor's dog, despite the fact that I am standing there looking at him barking only twenty feet away. In a situation like this, a phaser is really the best approach. I could squeeze off a clean shot through the willow tree. A phaser doesn't make much noise, so it wouldn't disturb anyone. Then the unhappy little dog and I could both get some sleep. If the neighbor complains, I'll explain that the phaser was fired by the other neighbor's dog, a known troublemaker who is said to be invisible.

And if that doesn't work, a photon torpedo is clearly indicated.

Cyborgs
Given the choice, I would rather be a cyborg instead of 100 percent human. I like the thought of technology becoming part of my body. As a human, I am constantly running to the toolbox in my garage to get a tool to deal with some new household malfunction. If I were a cyborg, I might have an electric drill on my arm, plus a metric socket set. That would save a lot of trips. From what I've seen, the cyborg concept is a modular design, so you can add whatever tools you think you'd use most.

I'd love to see crosshairs appear in my viewfinder every time I looked at someone. It would make me feel menacing, and I'd like that. I'd program myself so that anytime I saw a car salesman, a little message would appear in my viewfinder that said 'Target Locked On.'

It would also be great to have my computer built into my skull. That way I could surf the Net during useless periods of life, such as when people talk to me. All I'd have to do is initiate a head-nodding subroutine during boring conversations and I could amuse myself in my head all day long.

I think that if anyone could become a cyborg, there would be a huge rush of people getting in line for the conversion. Kids would like it for the look. Adults would like it for its utility. Cyborg technology has something for everyone. So, unlike Star Trek, I can imagine everyone wanting to be a cyborg.

The only downside I can see is that when the human part dies and you're at the funeral, the cyborg part will try to claw its way out of the casket and slay all the mourners. But that risk can be minimized by saying you have an important business meeting, so you can't make it to the service.

Shields
I wish I had an invisible force field. I'd use it all the time, especially around people who spit when they talk or get too close to my personal space. In fact, I'd probably need a shield quite a bit if I also had a phaser to play with.

I wouldn't need a big shield system like the one they use to protect the Enterprise, maybe just a belt-clip device for personal use. I could insult dangerous people without fear of retribution. Whatever crumbs of personality I now have would be completely unnecessary in the future. On the plus side, it would make shopping much more fun.

Shopping with Shields Up
------------------------

Me: Ring this up for me, you unpleasant cretin.
Saleswoman: I oughta slug you!

Me: Try it. My shields are up.

Saleswoman: Damn!

Me: There's nothing you can do to harm me.

Saleswoman: I guess you're right. Would you like to open a charge account? Our interest rates are very reasonable.

Me: Nice try.

Long-Range Sensors
If people had long-range sensors, they would rarely use them to scan for new signs of life. I think they would use them to avoid work. You could run a continuous scan for your boss and then quickly transport yourself out of the area when he came near. If your manager died in his office, you would know minutes before the authorities discovered him, and that means extra break time.

Vulcan Death Grip
Before all you Trekkies write to correct me, I know there is no such thing as a Vulcan Death Grip even in Star Trek. But I wish there were. That would have come in handy many times. It would be easy to make the Vulcan Death Grip look like an accident.

'I was just straightening his collar and he collapsed.'

I think the only thing that keeps most people from randomly killing other citizens is the bloody mess it makes and the high likelihood of getting caught. With the Vulcan Death Grip, it would be clean and virtually undetectable. Everybody would be killing people left and right. You wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation at the office over the sound of dead co-workers hitting the carpet. The most common sounds in corporate America would be, "I'm sorry I couldn't give you a bigger raise, but . . . erk!"
