I do remember an episode from next gen where they talked about how the first contact with the klingons was stuffed up.
It did not necesary say that humans stuffed it up if the vulcans had of turned up to the klingons like they did in first contact than that is probly how the vulcans stuffed up first contact.

It would also explain why the vulcans are so cautious about letting he humans travel the cosmos. (But not really)

and yes we all know that speed in startrek does not make sence just ignore it.

ok what did you think.

The ships were cool again.

ANd I liked the fact that space does not have the same laws as oceans.

Liked the missles.

Liked the dinner. This one seems more personal.

But for the teck. If you want teck read the books. Or you will rub your eye balls in disbelief.

But that is ok.

I liked it.

Anyone else thing Porthos was a good addition to the story? It just makes it nice, and can possibly create amuseing plots later.

My preferred episode lists--because they're pretty much sans trailers and I can just check when it's just a rerun--are at:

sorry, im going OT from an OT thread here, but i was thinking about trek.. and i did used to like trek a great deal.. and i still do, but i use more salt these days.. but i was thinking about technological inconsistancies, and the person who suggested to read the books.

now, while i have no intention of reading any startrek books, I recently got done reading some good Military SF books, and the tech was GREAT. it made sense from our understanding of physics, there was a certain bull**** technobable level, but it was acceptable, and it was consistant, and it supported the plot. one of the books was _Redliners_ and among other things, they had some awfully nice grenades. both FAE and HE. now, these grenades could be set to detonate on the otherside of a wall, door, or piece of sheet metal after being fired thru said material. this, i thought was pretty sweet.

I just got done thumbing through an article about our oversized-but-so-darn-cool OICW, and the integrated 20mm launcher can do the SAME THING.. well, minus the FAE.

isnt that some cool stuff? we need some more good science fiction so we can develop better ways to kill people. well, sorry for the diVersion, just thought id share that bit of joy with you all. I now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.

I liked this one alot. THe way the missles worked and failed to work gave the sense of them still learning. The alien interaction was great.

Barring major disaster, I believe this will be my favorite of the Trek series...My favorite character is quickly becoming the Comm Officer (Hoshi?), followed by the captain (and of course, the dog

..)

I liked how the chief engineer did NOT want to spend all of his time in engineering, and how the comm officer did NOT want to go on the away mission. Only other time I've seen that kind of realistic human whining on ST was a Voyager episode where Janeway went on a mission with 3 misfits. But then we never saw those characters again, which was a shame -- everyone else was so earnest and capable. (gag) I'm not forgetting Q. A shallow, selfish, jerk -- so human. But he wasn't a crewman. Ditto with Quark. Oh, I did forget Reg! LOL! A neurotic crewman -- whoever thought him up should get an award. And ooops! How could I forget Bones? A cranky old guy who hates new-fangled tech. (Plus, with no sex appeal, yet he had a couple of love interests. Will we ever see anything like that again, I wonder? Why ARE all the non-alien/non-AI crewmembers so young and buff? Smacks of genetic engineering to me.)

I didn't like how the two alien ships encountered both had WAY WAY higher tech level than Enterprise. How the heck did humans manage to put together the Federation, and be so dominant in it? They must have "Godlike" intel bonuses, or else the alien empires are run by circa 2001 AIs that trade good tech for worthless tech. Or maybe it's because we're walking aphrodisiac factories?
