I shall ask you questions three...those with the most correct answer wins...

What does Cpt. Picard wear underneath that uniform?

How many women does Cpt. Kirk 'get with' during the course of the original series?

What is the episode number from TNG where the crew drastically underestimates their foe, faces near death, escape in the end with their safetey, and then ends with a message from the captain?

Scott

if you are implying that captian picard is scottish...you are mistaken...

as in...he wears "nothing"


star fleet personnel usually wear a fitted T-shirt under their uniform..

the uniforms on the show changed early in the second season...to either single pieced jumpsuits...or like the captian wears, pants and a shirt (that he constantly pulls down as to look his best)

in a few episodes he can be seen in a strange grey shirt..and a maroon jacket....signifying his duty in command.

and of course one cannot forget the episode "tapestry" where he wears first a cadet uniform not-unlike The Orig. Series' uniforms, and then he is seen as wearing a science officers color of blue, in a alternate reality.

Surely, he also seen in his "dress" uniform when he is required to look his best....

and then there was when he was Locutus of Borg...

....more to come....

Oh, please....

I HYPOTHOSIZE THAT YOU ARE NOT HALF THE TREKKER I AM!...


REASONS:

I have been to 3 star trek conventions

Congrats... I've never had the oportunity. Seeing as how I was married w/kids at 19, my money has gone elsewhere. Besides, from what I've seen on the net, the people who go to these redfine the word strange.


I know all the star's Real names, all series

Join the club...


I have dressed up as a star trek dude for halloween many times

My Barmitzfa party was star trek themed

Can't compete with that, not Jewish. Though my 14th & 15th b-day was themed ST. And while on the honeymoon, I didn't miss ST. Best of Both Worlds was on...


I have not missed any enterprise episodes

I am getting Dish Network installed Saturday for this show. A friend has been burning VCD's for me so I can keep up...


I have not missed any voyager episodes (i shit you not)

Getting VCD's from mid 4th season on. Local FOX affiliate stopped showing them (4th season) and DS9 (6th season).


I have seen every star trek movie more than 5 times...with the
exception of insurrection....(i've seen 1,2,4,and 6 more than 15 times each)

That's it? You got some catching up to do.... :p



I have 6-7 life sized cardboard cuttouts of cast memebers rangeing from data to troi

I have a life....



I have an insurrection movie poster in my room(i used to have many others but i took them all down)

Got this and First Contact and Undiscovered Country


I have a picture of me super-imposed in a star fleet uniform with star trek characters.

See the above life comment


I have all TNG action figgures.
I have a tricorder
I have a phaser

Used to have the characters. Got lost courtesy of the Navy in my last change of duty station. Have a phaser.


I have a model of the enterprise d that makes sounds

Have this and an Erector Set of 'D'


I have many star trek light-up ornaments rangeing from voyager, to the borg cube, to Terak-nor (DS9)

Got me on this....


I've been to the star trek experience in Las Vegas, Nevada

Have always wanted to go...


I went to a special re-release of star trek 6 in the theatres where i met walter conieg

My email on AOL is "TREKKER315"
(I would put more but i have to go)

My Yahoo addy is: SoverignClass_Enterprise


i also know a shit load of technical stuff and trivia....

Okay. Me too. BTW, which is the more powerful class star ship, Galaxy, Soverign or Defiant?

BEAT THAT!!!
:p

Dude Scott...he's so winning. You're outta your league man...Brian is winning.

(and FYI, no I meant what kinda underwear he wears you goof)

Scott
12-14-2001, 02:50 AM
well...

Soverign class is prob a bit stronger than galaxcy...i guess because of newer technology....


But i would have to say the defiant...

ablative armor
quantam torpedos
cloaking device...


it would be hard to beat...

though..there is only one Defiant...


I would have to say...BofB worlds part one and two were prob my favorite episodes

Scott
12-14-2001, 02:51 AM

Was a joke Scott, no harm intended!!! :D

Brian

And there was only one Defiant class mentioned. In the Trek world, there are more.

The Soverign class is a good bit stronger than the Galaxy. Quantum Torpedos, more phaser banks and NO CIVILIANS!!!

It is a close call with the Defiant, though. While she has fewer torpedo bays, her phasers are MUCH more powerful due to her overpowered warp core. Defensively, she can take one heluva beating also.

Personally I think Scott is winning... did Brian answer your questions Manu?

bum bum bummmmm

Brian
12-17-2001, 03:35 PM
Where are your answers to these I posted in the Movie Quotes thread?


"You really have gone where no man has gone before..."

"Let me guess, in the future they don't use money..."

"How's the patient?"
"He's gonna be fine"
"But you went in with a woman?"
"One little mistake..."

"Maybe he's singing at that man?.."

"Perhaps, 'beacuse it is there' is not sufficient reason..."
"I'm hardly in a position to debate you on that."

I belive Kirk was running close to one per show.


Well, TNG crew were always in danger of being destroyed by either an enemy, stellar core fragment or thier own lack of knowledge of the universe. I'd have to say every episode...


(And yes, I realize this was a joke) :D :D :D

Scott
12-17-2001, 05:50 PM
What was the insult Kirk yelled back at the cabbie in ST:IV?

well....A double dumb ass on you!

What aircraft carrier did Uhura and Checkov beam onto and what was thier mission (ST:IV)?

The enterprise...to collect neuclear photons.. the bird of prey's dilitium crystals were draned from the time warp...and that would re-crystalize them



What was the names of the whales they beamed aboard the Bird of Prey? (ST:IV)

George and Gracie....From the Cetacian institute....humpback whales....



What di dthey rename the Bird of Prey? (ST:IV)

The Mutineer's Bounty...or the Mutiny's Bounty....


What is the significance of the Kobyashi Maru in ST:II?

It's a un-winable situation...it's a test of character.....But Kirk won once...because he re-programed it so he could win :)...


Name the two actresses who portrayed Lt. Savvik.

OOh....you half got me....Kirsy Alley (of Cheers, and Look who's talking fame) played it in ST II...but the name of the other actress exscapes me


What part did Iman play in ST:VI?

Iman..who is that?..an actors name or a character name?


In First Contact, what song did Zephram Cochran play when the 'Pheonix' is being launched?

Bummer..ok..i admit it...you got me here too..just because i haven't seen it too much...i know He's Into Rock-a-billy type music..it's what he plays for the vulcans



What other vessel did Sulu fly in ST:IV?

A helicopter....to load the walls for the tank for the whales they were gonna get....he claims to have flown something like a Tubman 601....


What planets moon blew up at the beginning of ST:VI?

Praxis....Q'onos's moon....followed by a huge ass shockwave..then a distress call..and then a warning to all to keep out of the neutral zone...and that they were fine...Yah right :)

In ST:III, how did McCoy react to the news that he had Spock's katra?

well..he wasn't himself that's for sure....he was thought to be crazy. He was mixing in his normal expressions "That cunning little green blooded vulcan......ect, ect" with "Facinating....ect ect ect"

First one- Bones to Spock after he comes back from being dead

Second one- Scientist (Kate?)(whale lady) eating pizza with kirk and talking about the whales in ST: 4 when the bill comes

Third One- Kirk, Bones, and the Scientist go get Chekov from the hospital...but checov is garded by the police because of his shenanigans on the "Enterprise" the aircraft carrier...They go in with the female scientist on the gurney (suffering from "gass" :)...) and come out with checkov....the guard notices :) haha

for some reason...the fourth looks like something Chekov said

and the fith one you got me

Scott

HMS Bounty



What is the significance of the Kobyashi Maru in ST:II?

The fact that they actually played it out on the Genesis planet while Khan was listening in. Again, Kirk changed the rules...


Name the two actresses who portrayed Lt. Savvik.

OOh....you half got me....Kirsy Alley (of Cheers, and Look who's talking fame) played it in ST II...but the name of the other actress exscapes me

Kirstie Alley (ST:II) and Robin Curtiss (ST:III and IV)


What part did Iman play in ST:VI?

Iman..who is that?..an actors name or a character name?

She played the Changling, Marta, who helped Kirk and McCoy escape from Rura Penthe, the Klingon prison moon.


In First Contact, what song did Zephram Cochran play when the 'Pheonix' is being launched?

Bummer..ok..i admit it...you got me here too..just because i haven't seen it too much...i know He's Into Rock-a-billy type music..it's what he plays for the vulcans


It was Magic Carpet ride by Steppen Wolf..


In ST:III, how did McCoy react to the news that he had Spock's katra?

well..he wasn't himself that's for sure....he was thought to be crazy. He was mixing in his normal expressions "That cunning little green blooded vulcan......ect, ect" with "Facinating....ect ect ect" [/B]

Close enough? What do you think Manu? ....

Wow, that was an amazing display of geek knowledge. But all this post makes me think is of the quote scientists, or in this case, trekkies, learn "more and more about less and less until they know absolutely everything about absolutely nothing"

And your point is.... what?

You have a problem with a couple guys ( that would be Scott and myself), who share a common interest (that would be Start Trek), having a friendly contest to see who knows a little more about the subject? If so, feel free to not return to this thread. Scott and I are having a little fun, and if you see that as a waste of time, then dont waste yours, and stay away.

If I have somehow mis-interpreted the intent or your post, then let me be the first to appologise. It sounds like a condecending remark and kinda set me off, wondering why anyone would care why a few people would have a contest like this...

ResidentRice
12-18-2001, 03:33 PM
Damn, man. I think you TOTALLY misread my post. My bad, I didn't think anyone would get offended at all. Sigh, hard to display emotions on websites sometimes. No, I think its cool that you have a hobby you're into. I mean, I'm a fan of Star Trek, but by no means a trekkie. But there's some shit that I too have gone beyond the normal limits of, which I won't mention here. My quote simply meant that you guys know a lot of details about something that is so specific, ya know? Wasn't making fun of you at all. Sorry for the miscommunication!

Brian
12-18-2001, 03:52 PM
No problem... It appears I mis-interpreted your post. And for that, I appologise.

And yes, this subject defines the word trivial, but, hey it's fun!!!

ResidentRice
12-18-2001, 04:01 PM
Exactly! And some would call this website trivial, too, but hell, we all have a blast on it. Well, except for when we all hate each other, but back to the challenge at hand!
