Star Trek

willocrew

Star trek seems to be all about metal corridors, abandoned alien space crafts, more metal corridors, engine failure, more metal corridors, gadgets, and bridge conversations... more metal corridors.. almost as much metal corridors as ALIENS 1 2 3 4 combined.



just watch out for chewbacca though.. otherwise your rendezvous might take a nasty intergalactic twist..

oh why is this turning into a Trek vs. Wars thread?!

Star Trek - best sci-fi seriel EVER
Star Wars - Equally as good (if we don't count the 3 new sh*t-fest movies)

...but they just are not the same. It's like comparing Blazing Saddles to Unforgiven; both westerns... but that's where the comparison ends.

Roddenberry was a live wire and had a weakness for women. It was due to him so many of the females were like barbies on board, wearing short skirts and boots e.t.c. Many times he got caught out cavorting in his office. Some of the females were written into the series as Roddenberry had the hots for them.

The original ST always had hot babes in it, and the producers weren't afraid to let them show some skin. Might have been part of the 60's thing too, not just Roddenberry's doing.

Are you kidding?! Imagine the "far out" Trekkie sex parties...

No open mouth kissing could be filmed. There was also a problem with Mr Spock's ears due to some fear he would be viewed as satanic in bible-belt states so Rodenberry had to fight to "keep the ears".
I guess the lady I liked most was the one with the bushy blond hair and the short skirts but she was only in a few episodes.
By the way, I didn't know Mr Spock and Gene Rodenberry were Jewish - not that it matters of course. Lieutenant Urura was also based on an African term meaning "freedom". Scotty wasn't Scottish either and William Shatner was Canadian.

They should have had George W Bush in the role of Balok.

...i'll go along with this if we can agree that the nick winters' version of the star wars theme song is better than the star trek theme song...

TNG's Deanna Troi's a cracker - and she's English!

Counsellor Troi was sexy. Then there was Tasha Yar and Seven of Nine too. :slurp:
