It may only be the three of us here.... "What are your favorite series? Original, Next Generation, Deep Space 9, etc????? Kirk is the ultimate captain, isn't he?!? None of this discussion with "sentient beings" crap. Just shoot first and ask questions later!" Captain Baldy Man has to be my favourite - Deep Space 9 left me with the "why do Kira and the Constable fancy each other" and Janeway should have been strangled at birth. The one after that was so bad I couldn't watch it...My favourite film is the "one wsith the whales" it is So full of quotes! By the by, the cat was called Gul duKat because he was a stripy killer. love and kisses, Jan

Okay, okay, I confess! I watched a lot of Next Generation reruns during high school & college, and wished I looked like Deanna Troi - her hair is so beautiful! That and I found Ryker (sp?) quite attractive. Captain Kirk cracks me up...if he can't kiss it, he kills it LOL |

I'm not a closet Trekie.....I'm proud to be one....(and NO I don't dress up...) I DO own comunicators. (the 'new' small ones on uniforms....gifts from my sister, they make noise.) We own books, calendars, music. (yes there WAS a Star Trek album with all the stars singing........ hahahaha....Mr Nimoy and Mr Shatner cannot carry a tune to save their lives) But Nichelle Nichols does a great ' Beyond Antares'. I was never a fan of DS9 and I don't really care for the new Enterprise. But I have watched them all from time to time...we get almost all of them on cable. Sci Fi runs the orginal Star Trek, one day during the week. My husband keeps all the Stark Trek 'sounds' on his computer at work. E-mail alerts, etc. The early ones are funny to watch...very cheesy. (but back in the 60's they didn't have the budgets OR the know how they have for special effects now.) I've always liked the way EVERY person on all the shows picked/pulled at their uniforms....they never fit...I understand on the original show, they kept shrinking (all that nasty hot velour). But that makes me wonder about the later shows.....who made the costumes and why were they such a poor fit ? Mr Shatner....overacting at it's best... Chrys

I officially make it four. I grew up a Trekie and will die a Trekie. I plan to learn Klingon if I can ever find enough time to study. I have a poster over my bed that says "All I Ever Needed to know About Life I Learned from Star Trek". I have little Micro Machine versions of several different Enterprises and some Klingon and Romulan ships. I used to read Star Trek exclusively but then they seemed to get to predictable (like how you know in the original episodes that the new guy always dies). I never did get into Deep Space 9. I was in the hospital for the first episode. They had plans to move me to a different room and I told them fine as long as I am situated before my show starts. Well of course an emergency came up and they didn't get me moved in time so I missed part of the show. Combine that with being on some really good painkillers and I was so lost I never did figure out what the jist of that story was. I really like Next Generation. I find Picard kind of a hottie. Gina

I guess that makes me # 5.. I really love Picard, but I'm an exception.. I really like Archer also.. I did not care much for DS9 , or Janeway either for that matter.. Our family saw the very first Star Trek the original and we were Trekkies from that day on...Do you know how long ago that was ?? hard to believe that much time has passed.. LOL

Hey, I know where Captain Janeway is!!!! She's here in Ohio!!!!  Kate Mullgrew(sp) is married to Tim Hagan, who is a big muck-a-dee-muck with the Democratic Party in Cuyahoga County ( county seat Cleveland, Ohio), he holds office there. Not sure what it is. She is everywhere he is for political doings.My favorite is "Trouble with Tribbles" for the Star Trek series. Next Generation is my favorite series. Watched DS9 for a while, but lost interest in it after 3 season. The newest shows just don't do it for me. The series where only good when Rodenberry was alive and had input. |

Chrys re the uniforms in the second series the uniforms were designed by a person known as "William Theis" but if my memory serves, in the original series he was known as Willie Wearthis. Innext gen they made them two sizes too small to keep the form fitting look and the actors sufferered compression of the spine! ( this could be rumour) I find it scarey that Lowroxana Troy is really Christine Chapel or Mrs Rodenberry! love and kisses, Jan

Christine Chappel was in Star Trek.. She was an Ensign.. Ensign Troy.. She did marry Gene Roddenberry.. I think the character you are thinking about is Counselor Deanna Troy. She was the Half Human-Half ??. (cannot think of her species) She's the one with all the long dark hair and the big dark eyes.. Christine Chappel is blonde.. Sew With Love

| I think Magot is right, Christine plays Deanna's mother in the next generation series. |

I was only telling you where she came from originally.. I think the last time they had a convention here , she had been in a show from every series except "Enterprise". But she was a regular in the original Star Trek series and that is when she married Gene Roddenberry..

Jessica - that link cracked me up! Glad there was no video to go with it! Yikes! I always detected a hint of homoerotic tension between those two. Argh! I can't *believe* anyone would find Riker attractive! I'd sooner make out with a tribble. I find all of the various ST's have way less to offer us ladies than they do the male viewers. The women on ST were always way, way hotter than the men. And wore tighter outfits I might add... think of Uhura, Seven Of Nine, Counselor Troy, Kira, Dax, etc... What do we ladies get for our viewing pleasure? Skinny-arsed Bones McCoy and uni-brow Worf? Puh-LEEZE. I'll admit, Picard was kind of cute. But Kirk will always be my favorite... The overly-dramatic monologues, the fact he got lucky on about *every* episode, the sexy 60s sideburns... He is the original and holds a special place in my heart. Sort of like how Connery will always be the only James Bond for me (but, there's another thread entirely)...

She was the Half Human-Half ??. (cannot think of her species) She's the one with all the long dark hair and the big dark eyes.. Christine Chappel is blonde.. That's right, Majel Barret became Majel Roddenberry not long after appearing in TOS (The Original Series) as Nurse Chapel. She is also now the owner of Gene's entire Estate. All Trek after Gene's death (may his soul rest on Rijah) is produced by her. She's apparently ONE AWESOME lady. Okay, so now you know. I'm a big geek! (The species you're looking for is Betazed) I know WAY too much about Star Trek, though I stopped dressing up and going to conferences about 15 years ago. The Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek Adventure's another story altogether. I sat a Quarks, drinking Romulan Ale, hanging out with a couple of Klingons... Life is GOOD! Until next time, Imzadis Tammy |

Who are you calling Imzadis!!!!! A Polish friend of mine sat up in amazement when the Klingon yell "Hojj-To" (Which meant beam me up or do it now or something similar ) meant Come here! in Polish Kepla! love and kisses, Jan

I have a soft place in my heart for Patrick Stewart (aka Capt Picard) Capt Kirk never did much for me even though Will Schatner is   I love the new movies, they keep getting better, I like DS9 too but the other 2 new series never did much for me. One year DH (well this was before we were married) did trek costumes (2nd generation) for halloween, we were quite the hit at the Halifax mardi gras, got our pix done with lots of folks! Jeanette
