Things I Hate About Star Trek

Kate, Thor, Jon – sometimes you guys are just like a comedy trio! :lol:

It's hilarious how you always seem to provide the groundwork for the other's puns. You seem like a well-rehearsed team. Reading this thread is fun. :)
 
Having been posted in New England before, I can tell the subtle differences between the two accents.

"Mr. Engineeh, whats the status of the wahp drive?"
Having lived there, I can assure you that some people actually don't talk like that at all.

I'm aware of that. I had a buddy at my old duty station in RI who was born and raised in Boston and didn't have the accent. In fact I had it worse than he did.

Aw, thanks.

The real challenge is finding a "central" place to rehearse. ;)

Quiet! They'll know... :shifty:

Does this mean that we're the three stooges of the TrekBBS?

(Also I must take a bow for my services to the noble art of punning and the running joke. As should JustKate and Praetor)
 
(Can I also say that I like your avatar, where or what is it from?)
(Thanks! It's from a scene from the formidable Homicide: Life on the Streets. But it's not just any scene; it's probably my favorite scene in all of television history. And I mean that. It's from the episode Crosetti and I think pretty much everything about it is perfect: The music, the acting, the directing, the camera. It's incredibly emotional and very, very touching. I think everyone should watch this episode.)

(Did I mention that I like that scene? :lol:)

In passing I think;)

Seriously it looks great, the guy saluting the car has a great air of dignity around him and the scene plays itself out well.
I'm not into crime shows but I've heard nothing but good things about shows like the Wire and indeed Homicide:life on the Streets.
You yanks sure have some great programs on you!

(looks over the rest of the thread I need to go and find something else from ST to hate otherwise this thread might go to far of topic.:lol:)

Oh, yeah, right. Erh, what I hate about Star Trek? Hm, let me think about it ...

That it isn't more like Homicide: Life on the Streets. :shifty:

(Oh, and I ain't no Yank, damnit!)

Good answer, and I apologise for my grievous error ,I am but a humble limey of no account.;)
 
Such a complete list, most of mine are probably covered:

1) Reset button episodes.

2) Nearly going to war with some species that's never seen or heard from again.

3) The non-human observer of human behavior. Spock was interesting. Data was interesting. Odo was interesting. The others were cliches.

4) The Borg. Great concept but by the time First Contact came around they were a joke.

5) Episodes where the captain has to let down their tough exterior for children.

6) Nemesis. All I ever wanted from TNG was a Romulan movie. I should have clarified that it actually be a good movie.

7) Ezri.

8) Leeta.

9) Canon debates. Canon is whatever the writers say it is folks. All you have to do is decide whether or not you like it.

10) The often used line, "I'll try to keep that in mind." In 32 years of life, I have never once had a person use that phrase in actual conversation.
