I thought it would be something worth discussing here. My all time new favorite is the destruction of the Defiant. It got to me. I somehow wish I had not heard about it in advance and would have been able to experience the shock of the Defiant going out in the proverbial blaze of glory. Anyway, worst one has to be the end of the original Enterprise. Blazing across the sky was one thing, but what kind of a self-destruct does little more that blow off the bow. Even the explosion looked dumb: outer hull "melting" and then everything exploding upwards like the contents of a frying pan being thrown in the air. Those are my thoughts.

Oh, I enjoyed the crash of course, but the explosion of the secondary hull...If you blink you miss it.

The ship was partialy automated so the destruction given there was probably a back up destruct sequence instead of an m/am explosion. "My god Bones......What have I done" almost hits me as hard as Spocks death in ST II: TWOK.<p>I also liked the destruction of the Enterprise-D in Cause and Effect. You can't tell me that teaser wasn't one of the most off of the wall teasers that you have seen. (A response I heard when we first saw it, "Well that was a short season.")<p>I do have to agree that the destruction of the Ent-D in Generations wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. (A comment heard after it lands, "Everybody remember where we parked") However listening to Marina Sirtis talk about that scene at conventions is hillarious.<p><P>------------------<BR>-=/\=-<br>Captain Stark<br>http://beam.to/readyroom<p>"The man on the top walks a lonely path.
