Trek's lowest moment

For me Trek's lowest moment was how it wanted to steal the B'aku from their planet and plunder the region for the radiation.

Very un Trek

Star Trek didn't want to do that. A corrupt Admiral and his Sona cronies did. Our heroes stopped them. Very Trek.
 
After reading through this thread, I've realized Star Trek is terrible!

:lol:

A few random thoughts:

ST:V was a missed opportunity, but had some good moments. There's a good movie in there somewhere. I liked it better than TMP or Nemesis.

Some early TNG episodes are pretty cringeworthy.

For me personally, a lot of the lowest moments came in DS9. The religious stuff, Dukhat and Kai Wynn, Move Along Home, Profit and Lace, Mirror Kira, ... When your favorite character on the whole show is a recurring guest (Garak) that's probably a sign the show is not for you.

I know a lot of people think DS9 is the best Trek, so I understand these views aren't shared by many. Just MHO.

Yes I know. If not for our plucky crew all would have been lost.

And Picard got another girlfriend with Anij :)

Then why is it a low moment?

Because of what hat Admiral wanted to do. It's a low moment.

I also think Pen Pals was a potential low moment. All that hand wringing.

And this is different than all the other times a character in the franchise planned something bad, how? Bad guys do bad things. That's why they're the bad guys and our heroes oppose them.

True, and I'm not arguing.

But I thought Doherty had informed the Federation of what was going on and the decision had been made higher up the chain...
 
Scottish? Irish? Who cares?
You eat in a Chinese restaurant, you're still hungry two hours later! :D

:lol: ...yeah, but if you eat Haggis, you are NOT hungry

...for quite a while

IMHO :eek:

Wasn't "Up the Long Ladder" written by an Irishperson?
Are people from Los Angeles/Albuquerque considered "Irishpersons"?

I hope this Irish Boy Person from the Midwest can be considered an "Irishperson"

.

I am still deeply and hopelessly in love with Anij (Donna Murphy)_

...hey, maybe she is an Irish Girl Person! :techman:

I see no reason to believe anything Dougherty says.

Not only because he was most likely a Section 31 operative - in the novels, he definitely is, and the whole thing was a S31 operation, which I always suspected - but they were also out of communication range with the Federation anyway (because of the Briar Patch interference) and so there'd be no way for Picard to check on Dougherty's claims.

Oooh section 31 I love them.

I wish that was in the movie.

Section 31 because Section 1 came first hehe LFN

Actually I do.

When Riker communicated with the Federation Council they order a "review." This suggests to me that they already knew about the operation to harvest the particles. Otherwise wouldn't their response have been more along the lines of "what are you talking about."

Admiral Dougherty was operating under the instructions of the Federation Council. I'd like to think after the review that the harvesting of the particles for the good of the people of the Federation would have proceeded.

An episode where the central theme is about a dog urinating and then what happens to said dog and how its owner gets angry that others might get upset about it urinating.
Moment:Me having to think about dogs urinating.

This, with "Threshold" as a close second.
