'Enterprise' and Star Trek Cognoscenti, Welcome!

Live long and prosper!

And while you're doing that, welcome to the new (improved) thread for the television program Enterprise and all other Star Trek serials!



ATTENTION!

Do not fear posting to this thread. We are friendly to all species. You will neither be eaten nor imprisoned! (Well, not right away.) All observations are welcome. Thank you!

:martian:

=^..^=

For those of you who posted to the other thread I'd started relating to this subject, I'm sorry: It's gone. What the thread-starter starts, the thread-starter can take away; and I did, so the other thread is now just part of the cosmos.



Fear not! I shall not delete this thread! That other thread had a misleading title, thanks to me, so visitors were few and far between (which is all right in deep space but not here at The Cat Site).

Thank you for your understanding. Okay, if you don't understand I'll repeat: I'm sorry!

"Against Tâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]Polâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s protests the Enterprise pays a visist to an ancient Vulcan spiritual sanctuary. Archer soon discovers, however, that they may have wound up landing into the middle of an interstellar Pandoraâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Box when they discover the site taken over by a paranoid and highly excitable race of aliens."

Dude! I sure wish you had moved our old comments over here, otherwise we will have that T'Pau / T'Pol discussion again! :tounge2:

Nice piccy, are they watching Porthos (it is Porthos, isn't it?) run off "where no dog has gone before"?

Got one of the rest of 'em?

Heard they are reviving the Andorians next week, from original Trek. Blue skin, white hair, antennas. Should be interesting, since Klingon makeup has changed so much - Romulans, too, now that I think of it - to see how close the Andorians are. Saw it in the trailer, so I don't think this is a spoiler . . .

Your wish is my command! (Well, just this once anyway.) Here are five more photographs of Enterprise activities. Mind, these images are hosted at Virtue.nu Hosting: That web site is "down" about half the time, but it's free!

Ok , I have no idea what you guys are talking about....but hey, I'm not even sure what planet Im on so waht can be expected!!!! ha ha ha (you know me, just can't resist a poll!!)

Hey, Joe:

FYI for the future: Anne could have helped you to merge the 2 threads, so that our previously made comments could have been preserved.

Although I understand your intentions, I can see the value in having a Prime Directive.



Well, no matter, I will continue to add my weekly commentary to all things Trek here.

I love the fact that Archer's dog (he's a beagle isn't he?) is named after one of the "3 Musketeers". I think it suits the adventures he will go on. A ship really isn't a home unless there is a pet. They need cats though - what if they are invaded by rat like aliens - who'll save them then?

Deb, you're right: I'd have a lot of explaining to do if a Prime Directive was in place here. It's all the fault of Enterprise, as I've fallen under Archer's influence! *Looks around to see who else he can blame.* Thank you for sticking with our new thread!



Bod Lover, you are not alone! I, too, have no idea what I'm talking about. By the way, I'm from Jupiter.



Ady Marie, I agree a cat is needed on all conveyances. Data (sometime in the future) will see this need as well, hence Spot. My feline friends Michaela and Tonya have already volunteered to form a posse commitatus of companion animals for future space-flight endeavors.

More photographs, that is:

I just reread an interview with Rick Berman (current guru of all things "Trek") published earlier this summer in TV Guide. Here is the excerpt:


TVG: Wasn't this character originally envisioned as T'Pau, the younger version of the Vulcan seen in the original series?

RB: That's not the case anymore.

Case closed. Now, about that theme song....apparently Star Fleet in the future has funding for a better orchestra.

And Joe, could you repost Data's Ode to Spot? I thought it would be around awhile and hadn't copied it yet. (nudge, nudge).

Well, it looks like the Andorians have better hair cuts this time around - though actually most of them have better hair cuts this time around! The antennae look more real and the skin looks better too. Makeup has sure come a long way, probably to accommodate all those sci-fi series that have to do it every week these days.

My how times change! lol

Ode to Spot

by Commander Data



Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature.
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defences.

I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents:
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counter-balance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array;
And though you are not sentient — Spot — and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

(Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode "Schisms")

This came in my daily e-mail trivia today:

What was the title of the very first show in the first season of Star Trek?Â:censor:

Charlie X
Miri
The Man Trap
Where No Man Has Gone Before

Sorry to do it this way, but I didn't want the answer right under the question and I thought this would make enough of a gap.

Just imagine the music the Jeopardy in here . . .

Or perhaps Millionaire . . .

Anyone want to phone a friend?

Is that your final answer?


According to that newsletter, the first show in the first season of original Star Trek was "The Man Trap".

So, like, who was the trapper? And whom did he/she trap?



Given the way things were in the '60s, I'm assuming it was a "she" who did the trapping. But maybe not, eh?

:tounge2:

=^..^=

Is it true that Quark's place on DS9 used to be a do-nut shoppe run by a Vulcan named T'Pot who got in dutch with the family because she allowed no T'Ping or T'Bac ???

Although "The Man Trap" was indeed the first ever aired episode of original Trek (and it just aired on the Sci Fi channel Friday night), "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was actually the 2nd pilot filmed. They weren't aired in the order they were filmed.

A little extra trivia bang for your buck.
