[Bob G.]

Does anyone know where to purchase admiral's braid?

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

That's okay with me.

 

[The Wormhole]

No

If you mean the STIII - VI sleeve braid from the monster maroon uniforms, those were custom made for the movie uniforms so were never commercially available. Anovos recreated them and shipped one with their Rear Admiral monster maroon jackets but never sold them separately. You might find them at a costume/prop specialist but I can't say I've ever seen them.

The checkered band used in STII will be easier to replicate, it's just a black and yellow Battenburg pattern, the braid was actually leftover from the trim used on the BSG uniforms.

So Kirk is great at rock climbing. (Star Trek 5) Picard is also great at rock climbing. (TNG Bloodlines). So how does Kirk die? At the bottom of a big pile of rocks, with Picard watching. Slap in the face much?

That's because Spock wasn't there with his awesome rocket boots.

HTF don't they ALL wear rocket boots?!?!?!?! It's Starfleet man! Gimme my phaser, combadge, tricorder & ROCKET BOOTS!

He always said he'd die alone.

He pretty much did.

Stark Industries filed a copyright claim against Starfleet in 2289 and they were withdrawn.

He pretty much did.

He always thought he might die on the bridge. Fate has a way of playing cruel tricks on us.

Lol. He only said that once, & I'm pretty sure if you can talk to a guy standing over you, you're not alone

 

[Ensign Ellora Dannan]

Did any other Trek series give characters hats to wear with their dress uniforms like the reboot films did? I liked those.

If you saw "Shuttle Pod One" on Enterprise both Trip Tucker & Malcolm Reed were wearing NX-01 caps.

 

[Ensign Ellora Dannan]

Should there be ever be a British captain?

That would be kinda nice.

I think if "Enterprise" had continued eventually Lt. Malcolm Reed would have been a British Captain on another ship. Or maybe on the Enterprise NX-01 if it went back into space because Commander Tucker had died and Archer probably would have become an Admiral in Star Fleet Command.

A matter of career paths, while Reed might one day reach the rank of captain, would a ordinance officer have the professional skills required to eventual be assigned as the commanding officer of a ship?

I'm not talking about all the qualified personnel being disabled or killed, and Reed being tagged "it."

Reed would have to make the decision to seek additional schooling and then spend time doing on-the-job training for the position.

 

[Andy Hong]

Anyone know where there is an instrumental version of "The Warrior's Anthem" (Klingon war chant/song) (maybe in loud rock music style - electric guitar and large drum!) (or maybe a delicate version with harp and a drum of some sort. Or pan pipes and a drum. Or string instruments and a drum?)

I not sure about that as I have just seen an episode where the Captain gave Malcolm "the com" and he handled it pretty well. You're probably right about getting more "training" - he would have to attain Lt. Commander, Commander and then possibly Captain. I don't remember all the ranks in Star Fleet. I wonder.

Hi Bob! I'm new too. You might want to try the Star Trek . com link and look for their "shopping" tab. You could inquire at just about any Star Trek site or buy one at one of the Conventions. Hope this helps you.

If there was another season Trip would be alive, that travesty would not exist.

Reed had more experience than farmboy nuKirk,

I know this is kind of dating myself but has anyone here ever read the book written by Bill Shatner called "TEK WARS"? I thought it was very good. I actually think he could have been a great author.
