After that I was totally hooked. Even though I was still in high school I would stay up till midnight just so I could watch it. I never missed an episode from that time on. My love of Voyager led to an interest in DS9 which only grew through the years (I think the 6th season of DS9 had some of the best episodes ever), and also the Next Generation and the Original Series.

Voyager introduced me to it so I think it will always remain my favourite but now I have an appreciation for all things Trek.
As for being in love with Chakotay or Tuvok, maybe not, I was (and sometimes am) in love with Tom Paris instead

*drool*

Andrew:

Then look at "The Disease" from Voyager... I mean it just described that Harry get's this disease from this alien Chick!

Yes, the disease in question being romantic infatuation. It's one of those things that can be taken two different ways, and thus a half-way creative title, though attached to an utterly crappy ep.

I like the titles on "Andromeda". They're almost always taken from old, little-known poems. "It's Hour Come 'Round at Last," "Under the Night," "An Affirming Flame." 'Course, then you have "Fear and Loathing in the Milky Way"...

here is where they turn into those insipid one word titles... with little charm

Initiations
Projections
Investigations
Resolutions
Maneuvres
Resistance
Remember
Alliances
Threshold

Then we do get a few nice ones back... Tuvix, The Thaw, Deadlock and Deathwish.

Look at this:

Initiations
Projections
Investigations
Resolutions
Emanations
Revulsion

a nice gap without the 'ions'

Then season seven:

Imperfection
Repression

"If Morden is afraid of green penguins, and Draal is shown to have
access to them, a speculation would be that Draal will use them
against Morden in the future. However if Draal only has a purple
moose, saying that he could use it against Morden would be a story
idea."

- rastb5m FAQ

"Emanations"
"Initiations"
"Projections"
"Parturition"
"Investigations"
"Resolutions"
"Revulsion"
"Imperfection"
"Repression"

I don't see the problem. VOY didn't use "-ion" any more often than TNG. Maybe even less so, if they name ST10 like that.

I don't know why people are so bothered by the fact that the Klingons in TOS had smooth human like foreheads and now they have much larger foreheads [with ridges etc etc].

I mean one of the main reasons I'm sure is the fact that the show didn't have so much money to spend on makeup etc back then where as now they can afford more. So they look different - so what?

If that bothers you, then shouldn't the fact that the Trills in TNG looked so much different to the ones in DS9 bother you too? But no one ever mentions it. Always with the Klingons! For that matter the Bajorans looked a little different in the early days too.

I think if anything should irritate people it should be those races[not the Klingons from TOS]. At least they had their budget as an excuse, as for the other races I can see no real acceptable reason.

On a similar matter, does anyone remember a little case of Klingons having pink [or purple if you will] blood for about 1 movie?

Hmmm. I've just learnt to accept these things. Sometimes I think the writers have no idea.

Anyway! Thats my piece. Agree or disagree. Thats up to you

Prakesh: If they name it w/ a single word that ends in "-ion".

Babylon 5. Yes. They were inspiring by scribe and poet alike JMS at Babylon 5 who had the most beautiful and poetic titles. If you don't believe me, check 'em out and compare...

IRA STEPHEN BEHR is sitting behind a desk. On the couch to the left are RENE ECHEVARRIA and RON MOORE. We join them mid-conversation

BEHR
...But honestly people, we need suggestions.

MOORE
Let's be serious though, Ira, how urgent could the situation be, anyway?

BEHR
Well, Rick says the suits are incensed. (a beat) We're losing Nielsons, guys. The budget for the season finale may be taking a hit...

ECHEVARRIA
Ouch.

MOORE
What sort of numbers are we dealing with?

BEHR
They're pulling in 1.7s.

Moore whistles softly.

MOORE
They've closed within 60% of our ratings already?

BEHR
I know. Scary, huh?

ECHEVARRIA
I'll say. (a beat.) Well, I'm open to suggestions for tweaking my scripts. Maybe we could just hold off for a couple of days and try to flesh them out a bit more?

MOORE
More Klingons? I mean, I could rewrite my current script to feature Klingons swooping in a screaming "get the hell off our planet!"

BEHR
The Risa one?

MOORE
Yeah.

BEHR
I say leave it alone. It's working as-is.

Echevarria nods.

MOORE
What are you leaning towards, Ira?

BEHR
Well, perhaps we should ask ourselves what they've got that we haven't got...

ECHEVARRIA
Koenig.

Behr shakes his head.

BEHR
I've asked. He says he won't do Chekov.

ECHEVARRIA
Then what about a new role? Like, the head of some elite Federation black ops program or something. Something sinister.

MOORE
I like the sound of that... We could call it... Section 28? Something nasty like that.

BEHR
I think we're missing the point. I mean, look who we're up against. He's... well, he's...

ECHEVARRIA
A poet.

BEHR
Exactly.

MOORE (chiming in)
Yeah. He contributed to a compendium of haikus with George Lucas and Chris Carter. Damn, those guys are good.

ECHEVARRIA (resolutely)
It's what we're up against. We've gotta rise to the occasion.

BEHR
Well, um, let's take one of the cast... say, O'Brien, and posess him with an alien virus... and force him to write poetry in his quarters all day and all night...

MOORE (interrupting)
...It could be like an alien legacy story... It could be their Beowulf, their Homer... and the race could be extinct, and the virus could be their little way of ensuring that their cultural history survives...

ECHEVARRIA (interrupting)
The Inner Light, Ron

Moore isn't paying attention

MOORE (continuing)
...But meanwhile, the virus is driving O'Brien insane... and he's about to die... And Bashir finds out a way to remove the virus from his friend's system but is split between doing that and saving O'Brien's life or risking it and seeing whether O'Brien can finish the story.

BEHR
Throw in a B-plot about Worf wanting to adopt a puppy and we might have enough for a two-parter. (a beat.) It might do it. This could be big.

ECHEVARRIA
We could call up the UPN marketing people Voyager uses and make sure we get a real kick-ass promo for it.

BEHR
But...

MOORE (incredulous)
But?

BEHR
...well, the best we could hope for having it ready by would be May Sweeps. We need to implement something now or else there mightn't BE a show by May Sweeps.

The gravity of what he has just said sinks in on the other two. There's a long pasuse, and Echevarria looks up.

ECHEVARRIA
Titles.

BEHR (sternly)
We've been over the entire thing about the drum backbeat before. It's staying.

ECHEVARRIA
No, not the opening credits... episode titles.

MOORE (catching on.)
Theirs kick our ass. I mean, "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars." That's sends shivers down my spine.

Echevarria nods in agreement.

BEHR
Remember when we fought over whether to name it "The Jem'Hadar" or "Dominion"... perhaps we should have gone with something longer. Like...

MOORE
"Let He Who is Without Sin"

BEHR
I like that. From the Bible, right?

MOORE
Yeah... I mean, like, Eris is without sin, but Quark isn't... and Jake and Nog are like the brothers of Simon Peter.

ECHEVARRIA
Well, no use arguing about an epsiode who aired years ago.

BEHR
True enough. But what do you guys say we go all out and put poetic titles on everything? Maybe that'll stop him from stealing any more than a quarter-percent or so more of our audience.

ECHEVARRIA (excitedly)
That might do it...

MOORE
Well, let's start with my Risa episode.

BEHR
I dunno... How about "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges?"

ECHEVARRIA
No... just doesn't fit the material. How about we save it for later? (a beat.) That biblical one was kinda cool though, Ron...

MOORE
Then "Let He Is Who Without Sin" it is...

END OF ACT I
