Edited to change my answer to the last question, since I just thought of Ro and had to bump Beverly Crusher to second place)

8. no contest?
I liked the first movie. I have seen it about four times, usually edited by television (it definitely was looooong). I thought the Wrath of Roark was a huge let-down. Plus everybody knew Spock was gonna die and WTF is with everyone wanting to kill off Spock, except that there was one James Blish? book titled "Spock must die". The death scene was good, but the whole Kobiyashi maru thing made no sense. Kirk said "Scotty I need warp speed in 3 minutes, or we are ALL dead" so clearly the needs of the few did not fall before the needs of the many because Spock was gonna die too unless Scotty went in there and made the repairs and logically superior Vulcan metabolism made Spock more capable of saving everyone. Spock really did not have the option of not dying the way Bruce Willis did in Armageddon.

The next movie #3 is even worse - it has a lame Saavik, and it blows up the Enterprise!!! The whole "death of Kirk's son" was lamely done, and all too inevitable - TOS characters are not allowed to have spouses or progeny (for more than one episode). The only redeeming features of that movie were Uhura's scene with Mr. Excitement and Sulu's thrashing of the guy who called him "Tiny". (and to me, it is Shatner's double-take which makes that scene).

9. Your #18 has me cracking up....
I grew up watching TNG, and only watched a little DS9 and Voyager... but I just saw the re-run of the one with Data giving Spot to Warf, and LMAO at that line!

2.) Favorite captain? (Spock) (Hey, he made Captain)

3.) Favorite movie? (Unlike the 99% of those who will answer "Wrath of Khan," I prefer "Generations") ((WTF??? I thought Wrath kinda sucked - the worm in the ear thing was a major gross-out too) Voyage Home wins

4.) Worst movie? (of the 7 I have seen - number 6 it was like a Star Wars episode)

5.) Are there any of the series you didn't watch? (I have seen a little of all of them, but only lots of TOS)

7.) Complete this sentence: "Most people don't agree with me on this, but I really liked..." (The first movie)

8.) Favorite episode of the original series? ("I am Kurok - the god who bleeds (can't remember the name Kirk lives in a Native American type village))

13. DS9 roolz them all!!!!!!111!!1!!oneone
  1. Which was your favorite series?
    Deep Space 9

  2. Favorite captain?
    Sisko. In the time it takes the other captains to hold endless meetings and sleep with green-skinned women, Sisko will have already barged in, kicked ass, felt bad about whatever people or regulations he had to run over to get things done, and cooked dinner for his girlfriend.

  3. Favorite movie?
    First Contact

  4. Worst movie?
    Insurrection.

  5. Are there any of the series you didn't watch?
    I only watched a couple of episodes of Enterprise.

  6. Your least favorite series?
    The original series. Lordy, was that awful.

  7. Complete this sentence: "Most people don't agree with me on this, but I really liked..."
    Doctor Pulaski.

  8. Favorite episode of the original series?
    I don't have a favorite, and if I had to pick a "least nauseous" original series episode, I would have to watch them again, and I would rather stab myself in the leg with a fork.

  9. Favorite TNG episode?
    Any episode involving ugly politics, particularly ugly Klingon politics.

  10. Favorite Voyager episode?
    Any episode without Barbie Borg.

  11. Favorite DS9 episode?
    "Past Tense" (parts 1 and 2). These were the episodes involving the Sanctuary Districts and the Bell Riots.

  12. Favorite Enterprise episode?
    I only saw two and they both stunk.

  13. Favorite character in the original series?
    None of them appealed to me, although Bones was less annoying than the others.

  14. Favorite character in TNG?
    Doctor Pulaski. She was a mean-spirited curmudgeon, but I liked her because of that. One of the main criticisms of TNG is that everything was a little too peachy and the crew got along a little too well. Pulaski stirred things up, made other crew members angry, and generally kept things more interesting.

  15. Favorite DS9 character?
    Garak, a.k.a. "Enabran Tain." He was a monster, a war criminal, and absolutely not to be trusted, but in a sick way you couldn't help feeling sorry for the guy. Garak was a delightfully complex character.

  16. Favorite Voyager character?
    The holographic doctor.

  17. Favorite Enterprise character?
    I don't know enough to comment.

  18. Funniest moment in any episode of any series?
    The Vulcan baseball team in DS9 and Sisko's irrational vendetta against them.

  19. Funniest moment in any of the movies?
    Data in Generations: "Oh, shit!"

  20. Main character in any series or movie with the most sex appeal to you?
    B'elana Torres.

14. I never liked Pulaski much, except for when
she was in that episode in the original series where the aliens took over the bodies of crew members - but that's the male pig in me talking. It's hard to believe, when looking at her in TNG, that she looked so good in TOS.

Yeah, I know - oink, oink.

I never saw her in the original series, and I already explained what I liked about the character: the fact that she was so unlikable.

19. HypnoToad's ribbets
1.) Which was your favorite series? (TNG)

TOS

2.) Favorite captain? (Kirk)

Kirk

3.) Favorite movie? (Unlike the 99% of those who will answer "Wrath of Khan," I prefer "Generations")

Tough call. II, VI, Generations, and Insurrection are my top 4. But I've got to go with VI.

4.) Worst movie? (the first one)

Nemesis - by far. Trek V being the next worst, but I'd much rather watch it as it isn't a recycled or intellectually-empty plot...

5.) Are there any of the series you didn't watch? (Enterprise)

None. I've seen at least 1 ep from every series. Though Enterprise is the least-watched one...

6.) Your least favorite series? (DS9)

A tie for Voyager and Enterprise. DS9 isn't great, but there are more worthy episodes than Voy or Ent combined... and Voyager itself is the very antithesis OF Star Trek!

7.) Complete this sentence: "Most people don't agree with me on this, but I really liked..." (Voyager)

The Original Series

8.) Favorite episode of the original series? ("A Piece of the Action")

The Immunity Syndrome (many to choose from though)

9.) Favorite TNG episode? (The one where Worf keeps going through parallel universes)

Elementary, Dear Data (though Tapestry comes close)

10.) Favorite Voyager episode? (The 100th one, where Harry tries to correct a mistake he made in his youth)

The season 5 finale (not a cliffhanger story!) where Janeway nearly falls for a nasty trap, set by a person she made an enemy of in an earlier adventure. The new starship design and technologies were cool, but the revenge plotline works great within Voyager's frame.

11.) Favorite DS9 episode? (The one with "Red Squad")

The Visitor (early season 4) A nice emotional piece where Sisko travels back and forth in time (similar to TNG's "Remember Me", only done rather better and with a better character!)

12.) Favorite Enterprise episode? (Never saw one)

None. I couldn't get into it.

13.) Favorite character in the original series? (Chekov, especially in "Trouble with Tribbles")

Doctor McCoy

14.) Favorite character in TNG? (Worf)

Data... he's a lot like me, except I came first. (Still, Data is modeled on people with Asperger's Syndrome...)

15.) Favorite DS9 character? (Jadzia Dax)

Sisko.

16.) Favorite Voyager character? (Seven - and not just based on sex appeal)

Agreed on both counts, Seven. Well, all counts - she had more than just her twin friends... :D She's a pseudo-Spock type. I can imagine how she and the hologram Doctor (a McCoy ripoff) would have often sparred.

17.) Favorite Enterprise character? (The female Vulcan - this one IS based on sex appeal, because I don't know anything else about the series)

None. There is nothing in Enterprise that's redeeming whatsoever.

18.) Funniest moment in any episode of any series? (When Data asks Worf to take care of Spot, and says "You must tell him that he is a good cat. And a pretty cat.")

I think any given Q episode gave the best laughs as he's a great foil for a crew where Data happens to be the most human... I loved the bit where Q turns Crusher into a dog in "True Q", a story better suited as the homo allegory than "The Outcast"! Of course, Harry Mudd also provided a great deal of genuine wit.

19.) Funniest moment in any of the movies? (The look on Savik's face when it looked like the crew was stranded on Genesis, Kirk calls Spock and says "It's been three hours, are you ready to beam us up?")

Data in "Generations", no contest. From pushing Crusher overboard to commenting on a drink after having the emotion chip fitted to the Lifeforms song to Data saying "Oooooh shit!!" at just the right moment... that movie was meant for Data and it's terrific.

20.) Main character in any series or movie with the most sex appeal to you? (Enisgn Ro)

Riker, before the beard.

25. Oh, man, I forgot all about "Tapestry" and
Q turning Crusher into a dog. I might have to rethink my answers to a couple of these questions :)

20. Alright...
1.) Which was your favorite series? (TOS)

2.) Favorite captain? (Kirk)

3.) Favorite movie? (I know I'm going to be in the minority but Star Trek The Motion Picture)

4.) Worst movie? (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - although Generations comes close)

5.) Are there any of the series you didn't watch? (no..I slacked off on early seasons of DS9 and later seasons of Voyager but I pretty much watched them all)

6.) Your least favorite series? (Voyager)

7.) Complete this sentence: "Most people don't agree with me on this, but I really liked..." (Star Trek the Motion Picture or Enterprise)

8.) Favorite episode of the original series? ("Where no man has gone before")

9.) Favorite TNG episode? (The Quality of Life - Data protects machines he believes have become sentient)

10.) Favorite Voyager episode? (Revulsion - rebelling Holograms)

11.) Favorite DS9 episode? (Who Mourns for Morn? - I'm cheating a little here, this might not be my favorite exactly it's to hard to shift through all the eps right now, but this is the episode that I use to illustrate how superior DS9 turned out to be compared to Voyager. I cared more about Morn on DS9 than Harry Kim or Tom Paris or anyone on Voyager)

12.) Favorite Enterprise episode? (Andorian Incident)

13.) Favorite character in the original series? (Spock)

14.) Favorite character in TNG? (Data - hmm I guess there's a trend here :))

15.) Favorite DS9 character? (Sisko - Worf is a close second but Sisko's struggle with his "emisary" role made things interesting)

16.) Favorite Voyager character? (Seven - largely due to sex appeal :) )

17.) Favorite Enterprise character? (Trip)

18.) Funniest moment in any episode of any series? (When Kirk says "I've got a belly ache and it's a beaut")

19.) Funniest moment in any of the movies? (Any one of the times Kirk or McCoy tried to say they detected a bit of humanity in Spock and he would say something to the effect of there being no need for him to have to take their insults)

20.) Main character in any series or movie with the most sex appeal to you? (T'Pol)

Question: Why was The Animated Series left out? ;)

26. I'll give it a whirl.
Edited on Sun Mar-19-06 12:33 AM by bezdomny
1.) Favorite series: DS9 is a squeaker. Because the episodes were serialized in the last three or four seasons they were able to build something with much higher stakes than the other series (where they just solve the problem on this planet and then truck on to the next one.)

2.) Favorite captain: Picard.

3.) Favorite movie: (Full disclosure- I've only see the original series movies) Voyage Home

4.) Worst movie: the one with the little alien that goes in Chekov's ear. Still gives me the heeby jeebies.

5.) Any series I didn't watch: Enterprise. So far...

6.) Least favorite series: Voyager. Absolute rubbish except for a handful in the final season.

7.) "Most people don't agree, but I really liked... DS9?" Granted, the first few seasons are pretty touch and go but the last few are some of the best Trek around IMHO. Worf's wedding, the one where they go back in time to the Tribble episode, "Little Green Men"...

8.) Favorite episode of original series: Cliche but "The Trouble with Tribbles"

9.) Favorite TNG: Anything with L'wuxana Troi.

10.) Favorite Voyager: The one where they're caught in the atmosphere above a planet that moves through time much more quickly so although they're there for a few hours, on the planet they're visible for all of recorded history.

11.) Favorite DS9: The one where Bashir's parents reveal he was genetically engineered.

12.) Favorite Enterprise: Never saw one.

13.) Favorite character in original series: Also Chekov.

14.) Favorite TNG: Data

15.) Favorite DS9: Garak

16.) Favorite Voyager: None. Maybe Chakote is a tiny, tiny bit ahead of the pack.

17.) Favorite Enterprise: Never seen.

18.) Funniest moment: Worf's bachelor party. Everyone's psyched to go to the Klingon bachelor party expecting wine, women and song and they end up with four days of fasting, walking on coals, screaming and hitting each other with pain sticks.

19.) Funniest movie moment: "We are looking for the nuclear wessels."

20.) Sexiest character: Garak


On edit: How did I forget about Garak?
