What's your feelings about Klingons? Are they one of your favorite races? I've been surfing the net and it's been said that Klingons are one of the favorite races on Star Trek. If you had to choose would you agree?
Let me know your thoughts.

Well Needless to say Klingons are my Favorite Trek Race. There's just something about this bunch of crazed, Gregarious, and Honorable Brothers and Sisters in arms that makes ya feel good about the shape of the Trek Universe.

While I am a very big fan of the Klingon Empire, I find myself more intrigued by the Romulan Star Empire and the Cardassian Union. These two are similar in more ways than I think are often noted. The Tal Shiar is not a far cry from the Obsidian Order, and their arrogance is also notably similar. And Deep Space Nine is a tribute to Cardassian Architecture. I think it's absolutely beautiful! Just steer clear of the Yamok sauce and you'll be fine.

well they aren't actually a race but they still rock, the same with the Hirogen they're cool to.

i have a question. How can Picard after being assimilated by the borg can have all of his implants removed from him yet the EMH could not remove all of seven of Nine's implants?

Well, the Klingon appearance thing is a side effect of TOS not having enough in the budget for elaborate makeup. The appearance of Romulans was cut back because the ears cost too much.
The main thing that bothers me is the whole "let's make a prequel" thing. The technology displayed is way more advanced and better looking than TOS. And this is supposed to be taking place before that. Are we to expect they had some kind of anti-tech era happen in the Star Trek world? (The movies are an exception since they had the money to do it right.)
Here's a good example: In TOS, the monitors and screens were kind of sucky. Now, we see cool flat panel displays everywhere on Enterprise. LCD flat panels are real world tech today, but not back in the 60's. Also, computers; need I say more?
You can prequels with Star Wars better than Star Trek because the timespan for technological change isn't there; everyone uses blasters all the way through. I would have rather seen a Star Trek series about a special ops team that would travel around and do stuff. First Contact works, but it's pre-Warp and takes place in Montana.
What we have here is a series that shows its tech closer to future extentions of the present day, plus the budget and experience of a lot of movies and other series to back it up.
But back to the klingons... maybe they all got exposed to radiation and their genetic structure mutated, causing the feature thing to skip a generation. |

Seven was implanted when she was very young, because of that her body has grown and evolved around the borg systems. Because of this, without certain borg systems she would probably die. For instance she still has to regenerate like a Borg, this maybe a side effect of her Digestive and other systems becoming weak or non functional due to an almost total lack of use while a drone.
Picard on the other hand was a middle aged person by the time he was assimilated and because his stay as a drone was brief his systems remained developed and functional.

LOL, I like that answer the best of any I've gotten back so far.

maybe it was the cause of the dilithium mining failure they had before they joined the Federation

ok another question to ask. Is DS9 going to be after Star Trek Nemises the film because i don't understand how Worf goes from Enterprise D to DS9 meenwhile he goes back to Enterprise E in the films then we seem again in DS9 and now he will be in Star Trek 10 Nemises.?
The only thing i can think of is DS9's timeline is Ultimately after all of the other Star Trek series and films.

In First Contact, Worf was rescued from the disabled Defiant by the Enterprise-E during the Borg attack. The Defiant was left adrift in space while the Enterprise-E went back in time to stop the Borg and later salvaged.
DS9 overlaps with the end of TNG and beginning of Voyager. I like the moment that Picard and Sisko share in the Enterprise-D conference room when they are all brought to DS9 to take command of the station; Sisko's wife was killed by Picard as Locutus of Borg and you can see the tension in the meeting between them. Voyager starts out at DS9 and gets pulled to the Delta quad.
The Dominion war (which has now ended) is mentioned at the beginning of Insurrection when Picard muses about remembering when they were just explorers.
I think that Terok Nor was given over to the Bajoran government at the end of DS9, so at that point, it would leave more room for Worf to leave the station since Bajor isn't a member of the Federation and the station isn't under Starfleet control anymore. (Or am I mistaken on that? I only remember the episodes where Sisko was to conduct the entrance of Bajor into the Federation but ended up declaring the Bajor must stand alone and not become a member. Bajor is, of course, friendly to the Federation. I think Starfleet was just there to help them recover from the occupation.) |

ok thanx for that. Now i have been going through my old files on my computer and i have come across a picture that looks very much like the Enterprise NX01. This picture however isn't a picture from the Enterprise series the URL is.

somehow I don't think Star Fleet would create 2 star ships of similar design

I had forgotten that Picard had a hand in killing off Sisko's wife. I do remember that episode now. Thanks for the reminder.
I guess I should catch the reruns again for DS9, I've forgotten so much.

| i dont know about you, but the 'revised' version of the Enterprise NX01 looks a lot like it was made in a really bad ST game, starship creator i think. |

::blinks:: I didn't notice. But I doubt they used starship creator. I played with creator once, I didn't think it was that great because I couldn't make really outrageous ship designs.
