10 Things I HATE about Star Trek!

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

I'm with the OP, this is a hilarious bit of fun. How could you not love the line "there goes Kirk's torso"?

A) I think a lot of us realize this may be a heartfelt joke.
B) Similar threads have been started where it was trolling posed as a joke and then, "It was only a joke, dude, lighten up."
C) Yet other threads were started with by posters who took a troll's work and posted it for its bits of real humor.

Whatever the case, elaborate, will yah? Which do YOU agree/don't with & why, and what would YOU throw up there. This is a discussion forum. Discuss, already. Apologize or defend if you must, but I'm reading this thread for a reason, and it ain't to get my panties in a bunch or to sit there reading countless posts that don't say anything. I'm annoyed by threads that go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, and all it is is, "Heh, yeah", "I agree", "Totally", "Yeah", "", "Right", "Uh huh", etc, etc, in infinitum. Especially, when I disagree, in the first place.

Here's one I'd throw on there:

Too many humanoids or humans with little bits of pointless artful junk on their faces. I'll even extend this to minor cultural differences. That a Bajoran has a wrinkled nose and an affinity for religion doesn't make them an extraterrestrial. Christ, there's greater variety between human races than there are in half the Trek alien peoples.

At least the writers were aware of this 'fault' and at least put an episode in to explain it. Which is odd since they felt we could ignore the Klingon foreheads but we needed an explanation about why everyone is humanoid.

I thought the cracks about the doors making noise were funny as hell-with all of that tech you still have that "Whoosh" sound. The seatbelts were kind of obvious. The wrinkly noses-hey, budgeted episodes, y'know? Not much to spend on "alien" make-up sometimes. I wondered about Tomlinson in TOS-what was he doing in phaser control when it was obvious that ordering "Fire phasers" made them happen instantly-so what was the human down there doing? "Um, Captain, sorry but the coffee maker is drawing off to much power-give me a second."

Some of you may have already seen this, but I'm going to post it for those of you who haven't. It's by Scott Adams, who writes the "Dilbert" comic strip. It's pretty funny:

I like it when Picard looks pensive.

Hehehe... Except the last bit about the Vulcan death grip: it's not a "Death" grip and it is quite easy to apply in a practical sense (I've used it myself in the past - though, with as much luck as design). There is a lovely cluster of nerves around that area that, when pressure is applied, causes the victim to drop like a sack of potatoes. They don't lose consciousness (or shouldn't) but the visual effect is rather impressive when a crowd is watching...
