Klingons vs Nazis

[Rom's Sehlat]

I thought "Killing Game" would be really stupid. The whole thing is saved, however, when the Klingons attack the Nazis! When I first saw the two holoprograms, the Nazis and the Klingons, I had been hoping they would fight each other. The Klingons would show the Nazis who's the boss. I love seeing Space Nazis (Hirogen and hologram alike) get their butts kicked by some blood-thirsty, drunken Klingons.

Plus it was good to see some familiar faces on Voyager: we haven't seen many Klingons.

I'm glad the Doc thought of using the Klingons against the Nazis instead of the "House of Q'kd.... whatever."

I saw enough Klingons on DS9.
I was Klingoned out by that point.
I was disappointed that Voyager had to fallback on using them as a plot device for ratings. "Barge of the Dead" IMO was the only Klingon ep. IMO Voyager needed.

I would have used Naussicans.

The sheer awesomeness of Klingons wiping out Nazi soldiers with Bat'leths is rivaled only by the Klingon race themselves.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I don't think I've ever watched any Trek and thought "needs more Klingons".

BUT! Klingons vs Nazi's is made of win.

 

[Guy Gardener]

In the first movements of the war, some of the polish cavalry were attacking German tanks with fricking "lances". No pack of iron age thugs armed with pointed spears stands a chance against a modern army.

The Nazi's should have won.

It was machine guns vs. batleths.

With sufficient ammunition, one panzer tank could have culled a continent of Klingon.

NO.

The Battle of Endor doesn't count.

Lucus was huffing paint thinner when he wrote that one.

 

[Rom's Sehlat]

But the Feds here didn't need to win a whole war, only disrupt one battle. A group of Klingons could do that. But if necessary, the Klingons could pull out disrupters a la "Apocalypse_Rising." All you'd have to do is reprogram them...

Lucus was huffing paint thinner when he wrote that one.

Some of the greatest works of art, music and literature were written that way.

 

[Guy Gardener]

You're almost quoting Bill Hicks.

"John and Paul were so stoned when they wrote "yellow submarine" that they even let Ringo sing a couple lines."

I just wish that the program had continued that the Klingons ate the nazis and made pants and cloaks from their national socialist hides.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

The base at Endor was quite small and while powerful unable to cope with the entire regions indigenous population rising up against them. They were also stupidly armored for forest fighting. And the Ewoks DO eat their fallen enemies so that makes them as awesome as your Klingon fantasy Guy.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Yes I want the gore.

I am disgusting.

It's how I roll.

But it's just more proof that Obi-Wan was being understated when he called the blaster a clumsy and inelegant weapon. I'm rightly thinking so that stormtrooprs are just not shit marksmen but that you just simply can't aim with blasters. The burst veers off randomly and awkwardly in only kinda the direction you want it to that it's a miracle if they hit what they're aiming for once out of every forty shots, so it's thankful to their credibility as warriors that they can fire off 40 rounds a second.

Meanwhile an arrow?

A kill shot every time if the Muppet with the bow knows what he is doing

 

[LeadHead]

Always loved the fact that in the end, the Klingons showed up and defeated the Nazis. I remember laughing out loud when they came charging in.

Wow, I guess then I must be the only one who's really tired of WWII and Nazis being brought up in Star Trek again and again?

Maybe. But it was the most recent, (real) big global-scale full war in history. And the atrocities of the Nazis make it that much more unavoidable.

I will never tire of Space Nazi's.

I'm voting with my feet if I don't get Space Nazi's in ST:XII.

In the first movements of the war, some of the polish cavalry were attacking German tanks with fricking "lances".

That's a myth. The Polish "cavalry" fought primarily as an infantry force that used horses for transport, resorting to traditional cavalry charges only on a few occasions against infantry troops. The cavalry was armed with anti-tank weapons and won 12 of 15 engagements.

The myth comes from the Battle of Krojanty where the Poles successfully charged a German infantry unit, but were subsequently repelled by armored vehicles (not tanks). When reporters arrived at the site, the Germans had moved tanks into the area and invented the story about the stupid Poles trying to fight Panzers with lances.

WIKIPEDIA LIED!

I can honestly only recall 3x over 5 different series, each with around 28 episodes a season. That really isn't allot.

BTW, Rick Berman is Jewish.
So it's kinda culturally important not to forget the crimes of the Nazi', just like it was important to Avery Brookes to include issues Black/White American racism in DS9. There is an audience out there that does care about such things, so they aren't repeated. Such social & political issues is why there is Trek to begin with.
