Help me list all and discuss the greatest space battles in Star Trek. TOS: Balance of Terror The Doomsday Machine Wrath of Khan The Undiscovered Country TNG: Q Who The Survivors Yesterday's Enterprise The Best of Both Worlds Generations First Contact Insurrection Nemesis DS9: The Jam'Hadar The Search Way of the Warrior Paradise Lost Sacrifice of Angels Valiant Tears of the Prophets Changing Face of Evil What You Leave Behind VOY: Basics Scorpion Year of Hell Drone Dark Frontier Unimatrix Zero Endgame ENT: Regeneration The Expanse Azati Prime Countdown Zero Hour The Aenar In A Mirror Darkly Kelvin: Star Trek Beyond Discovery: Battle At The Binary Star
I really like: Sector 001 ST:FC Wolf 359 as depicted in both DS9 and TNG could be so much better, man if you did that battle today, it'd be something really special. Insurrection is ok, not amazing but not terrible either. Sacrifice of Angels obviously takes the cake though, 100%, Tears of the Prophets is a close second but What You Leave Behind could have had the best, but far too many re-used assets, I don't hold it against the makers, I know they had to save time and money, just wish there could have been more to it.
I don't know if you would call them "great battles" but Journey to Babel, The Ultimate Computer and Elaan of Troyius had some decent ship to ship battles, but they weren't the main scope of the show. I don't think The Corbomite Maneuver applies; big ball shows up and little Enterprise neutralized and towed.
"Azati Prime" "Zero Hour" "Countdown" Don't remember the exact order of the showings, but Enterprise took an absolute tanking during that sequence. The battle sequences were excellent.
Not at all. It was made of a big bunch of plastic balls held together with glue, with only a small 5 ball mother ship hiding inside it driven by a tiny drunk guy with bad teeth. It was all a facade. A fake. I can't believe you fell for it, Mitchell. At the peak of my civilization, we spanned the entire galaxy in ships twice that size, and ours were real. Now, you're interrupting a visit from my new friend, mirror universe Spock.
My favorites: "The Doomsday Machine" (original VFX) "Journey to Babel" "The Survivors" "The Best of Both Worlds" (part 1) "Paradise Lost" "Sacrifice of Angels" "Azati Prime" "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" The Wrath of Khan Star Trek (2009)
For a "dead" man, he seems very active on this web site. His "death" was just a deception, just like mine.
No you're not dead, Henoch! Just a little bit out 'there' as they call it! Don't forget Sargon came back from wherever to deal with you when you got nasty with the Enterprise crew! JB
Need to be added to the list: Future Tense (Ent) Once More Unto The Breach (DS9) and my favorite Call to Arms (DS9)
This is a great resource, thank you M.A.C.O.! Could you consider adding Discovery's Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum? There is a kick ass battle scene with some Klingons and the USS Gagarin.
I have a soft spot fot the kerb stomping the Enterprise recieved at the hands of the USS Vengeance in Into Darkness. That noise when the Vengeance flew up behind them! And also the whupping NX-01 recieved in "Azati Prime"
