In the TNG episode "The Price" Deanna finds out that one of the representatives negotiating the price of the wormhole has telepathic abilities and has been using them during the bargaining. She is disgusted and says that she would never do that. On the other hand, Picard does make some large decisions on her senses, which, more often then not, aren't accurate. "I think...." or "I've never felt anything like this before..." What always cracks me up is when you see someone really dodgy on the view screen, who is not only actually perspiring, but is obviously lying and she says, "I get the feeling his hiding something from us." Always brings up the question, if you're going to have a telepath, can't you at least have a full one?

You'd be pretty talented... and geeky. Usually in Trek the first thing you see is deep space. :)

I was really lucky. I really didn't have much to do in the sim. I was just embarrassed that the GM's might ACTION my hand to health.

I sure do. Bright pink slugs try to breed with all of us and then eat us from the inside.

The DS9 Homecoming trilogy really makes you tired at the end. On the other hand, I never tire of seeing Data training Spot. Someone should tell this to the writers, I don't think they understand.

My favorites are the character development plots. Data's Day and Lower Decks, stuff like that. "Romulan Warbird decloaking on the starboard bow..." that sorta stuff is just so easy to end up doing too many times. When we learn about Rikers trombone, the sort of "inside joke" of him not being able to play nightingale, all that trivia stuff is what makes a TV series different from a movie and what makes it worth watching. In my opinion, of course. :)

Because they are the bad guys, and the bad guys never win.

Maybe they'll release it with the new movie. If there's an audience for the game they'll release it, I guess. There are a lot of Star Trek fans but I'm not sure if its enough for the game.

I once was in a situation in which a fellow officer worked off my "idea" to well. We were doing some physical work and I wanted to say I broke my nail and I accidentally said I broke my thumb. I was going to try to just ignore it when the other assistant security officer said that I should go to sickbay, and I said I was fine, and the other officer said no you should really go. Which would have been fine, except you aren't usually supposed to do something like that without asking the GM's. My fault, but no one said anything.

I could never stand the dramatic music that would come at the end of each TOS scene but they still had good plots. Good plots which were used by each series after them. (whats the deal with the first few episodes of DS9 and the first season of TNG when they just reuse stuff from earlier shows?) I am usually against the american art of sequels- aka taking EVERY single thing that has ever done well and redoing it- but TNG was SO different from TOS that it was okay. On the other hand, DS9 and VOY really resembled TNG too much.

I remember your SEC "jerk" char. Very good stuff. There's something about being on the bridge that always inspires jokes and stuff. I think we'll be able to learn a lot about humans from this. But I don't know what.

I have some characters in the Academy. When I'm playing TAC I'm always want to blow things up but I write poetry when its just a patrol. In ENG I want to protect the ship at any cost. In HELM I'm a coward. In SEC I tend to follow whoever is talking the loudest. And they all must have died at some point. Multiple times. Sad.

Ahhhh! I've seen that episode so many times an still when Worf joins them at the end...

My favorite Academy I think was with Muon and Jumper in which we were in an away team in which we get attacked by bats, spiders, and slugs. Memories.

I guess. Still, they aren't exactly warp capable, and the Federation also had an outpost in that episode. Still, I think that the movie Picard is a lot more like Kirk. I sometimes feel that 1 out of 3 TOS episodes features Kirk fist fighting and tearing half of his uniform, and he is a lot more emotional than Picard. Movie Picard does a good bit of fighting which is something we usually don't see him do. He is usually more politically minded and this phrase of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy can sometimes apply: "They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters." (just joking :)) but you do sometimes get that impression.

Actually, there is an episode, (name?) in TNG in which Data shows a day of life aboard the enterprise from his viewpoint. That one is relatively calm.

My favorite ST is TNG but I still limit myself in watching TNG movies because I always get so angry at how contradictory, (just like the crusher thing), they get when TNG is usually when of the better STs as far as sticking with canon. When I saw Generations, and Picard was looking at PAPER photo album, it just made me.... And then in Insurrection when Picard takes up arms against the SF when, in the series, he lets an race die because of the prime directive, it just seemed non-picard. What I don't get is why the actors agree to this, (MONEY, MWHUHAHA), why can't Frakes say "Well guys, my character doesn't want to marry Troi" or something like that, "How about I marry Ro Larren or someone who isn't just my best friend." (though not seriously) The movies are just aimed at a wider audience who might have saw a star trek episode here and there so it doesn't seem like anyone even tries to make it coherent. Thats why I'm still pondering whether to be all excited and go to the first day of the new ST movie. My problem is that I don't think that being called Kirk can make you Kirk. At least Nimoy will be there. Ahhh. It feels good to get that all out.

Thats a good strategy. If someone doesn't want to buy a product you can start screaming: "Resistance is futile! Your money will be assimilated!" then you should do a little Borg dance and pretend to have a biological eye.

I've stopped even using the audio, now I just replay the episodes in my mind. Do you think I've reached the point between trekkie and insane?

I was the second one to blow up from sneezing. I once died from radiation, then from an earthquake, then from the slugs. Ahhh. You gotta love the academy. I wonder if Star Trek cast members look into one of these sims just for fun. What do you think Gene Roddenberry, if he was alive, would feel if he saw that people were using the Star Trek franchise to unleash their sadistic self? :)

All we need is to go back in time, convince Newton to climb up a tree, and throw apples at him. That'll change the laws of physics all right.

Personally, you can't get me off of TNG. I like all trek, but TOS is too old for my taste, DS9 to dark and un-federation, VOY i like alot, ENT haven't seen much of. The characters in TNG are so special because all of them have those special kirks, (forgive the pun), that are sketched into ones brain. Picard tugging at his shirt, Riker walked around with his cocked to one side and sitting down at chairs by lifting his leg over the back along with his dramatic way of saying WHAT THE HECK which really counters McCoys FOR GOD SAKES MAN, Georgi's special laugh and smile, Worf's general awkwardness, Data's head going from side to side and constantly blinking, Crushers being extremely decisive and always looking out for a time to threaten Picard by almost relieving him of duty, Wesley's.... just being Wesley, and other characters like Tasha, O'Brian, Broccoli (nick), and the doctor from the second season who I refuse to name because in my eyes I always call her, "Elementary, Dear Data" for that wonderful episode. Because of maturity reasons I never see TAS, but is it good?

Even though the idea of a sim with avatars sounds cool I still think we have a duty to text. Text games. The final frontier. These are the adventures of STSF. Our mission. To sim where no one has simmed before!

Wow, I haven't seen the prisoner in years. I love the white ball. It gets him every time, except for the one in which he escapes. the last episode is the most creepy thing i have ever seen.

Me too. First I start blinking strangely, then I begin nodding my head all the time, and then talking in that steady voice. Its so hard to stop! ...if you find yourself standing outside your house waiting to be transported to work.
