I'm not really a big fan of Star Trek in the sense of episodes and characters, but more so the Star Trek universe in general - the ships, the races, the exploration of space.

I enjoyed most of TNG from the third season onward, as well as most of DS9. I never really got into Voyager that much, but I think I've seen most of the episodes by now. I watch Enterprise and some of the episodes are well done, but I'm really tired of the whole time-travel thing. I wish they'd stick to stories like the Vulcan-Andorian conflict, Romulans, exploration, things like that - those stories seem to fit better with the way I think of Pre-Federation times.

I prefer the agitation of the fist part to whatever it actually means. Where did you get the other two translations?

Do keep in mind that the message was originally in english, then babelfished into the form I posted.

You'll have to "round off" those results into common english expressions.

I got the other two tranlations from:
http://www.freetranslation.com/
http://www.systransoft.com/
http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran

But one of these was exactly the same as the one from Babelfish, so I ended up with three Versions of the translation.

OK, "rounding off" the translation into common English expressions...
Hmm, this is hard. I'm guessing that "Avenger" and "Matador" are names of ships so they will stay the same, and also "Curyok IV" is the name of a planet. I don't know what "X100" is, but it doesn't seem to translate, so I'll just leave it the way it is, maybe it's also the name of a system or something.

The Avenger in X100 shakes his fist. The Matador in Curyok IV turns off her lights.

...Nah, still doesn't make sense. Besides, if I translate this from English to Portuguese, I don't end up with the original sentences, so it's obviously wrong.

Um,
...The Matador in Curyok IV turns invisible? Turns on her cloaking device?

Oh, I give up...

I'm thinking that "agitation of fist" could be "itchy trigger finger"

Edit: Oh, and the best episodes always have Tribbles in them

TNG � Don�t� know the name and really it is more of a favorite scene than episode.
The Enterprise crew is duped into helping a Roumulan spy escape. The Last scene they are staring down the bore of 3 Romulan War brids.

I'm not too sure about this.

My gf recently hit a deer hard enough to reduce it to its constituent humours. The majority of what we found after ward was white goo (along with the regular grizzly assortment of semi-identifiable large-than-particle stuff). I'm not sure why but evidence seems to indicate that mammals have a cream filling. Perhaps this individual was simply more Phlegmatic than Sanguine.

Lords know how she got the car going that fast on a windy mountain highway, but I've got a great answer when she asks to use my car.

Yes this was nice.

I liked the Klingon Civil War, the yesterdays enterprise (at least I think this was the one) at TNG, in DS9 I like the War against the dominion.
And I like nearly everyone of the new Millenium Gate??.?

The ship wants to go, but your organs and bones want to stay. They would most likely be crushed by the enormous pressure, leaving a human bag of goo or skin on the one side and everything else on the other side.
