i thought the movie was funny, but it was just plain dumb, like nearly all the other spinoffs out there.

Yes, it was patronizing to the audience. You could tell they were aiming for all the 8-12 year olds, what-with all that obvious yelling and shit. "Lone Star!!!! Jam!!!! I hate jam!!! Even with STRAWBERRIES in it!!!" Ha...ha...haaah.
The "ship-going-on-forever" thing was great, and the Vader helmet travesty worked fine (for ten minutes), the rest is a kid's movie. For parody, I prefer "Airplane" or "Hotshots". Mel Brooks is too soft, he lost his edge in the eighties. "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein" and "High Anxiety" were fantastic.

Spinoff? I think you mean "spoof", young man.
Spaceballs was unbearably funny and unbearably bad at the same time. Like the Brak show.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I dont remember where but I remember from somewhere that the vulcans can pin point the precise points on the neak where there is 1 nerve and 1 vein/artery(I cant remember which) that when pinched, will render the person unconcious. Their brains seem like they can calculate as fast as datas so that seems to not make any problems. OMG, I just remembered something, didn't it used to be called the vulcan NERVE pinch. I dont remember any cannon source(or any source at all) for this, but someone here has got to remember it.

Um, are you by any chance scandinavian or something? Because as far as I know, we are the only ones who use the word "data" for "computer". Actually it's "dator", but the "or" usually becomes an A.

Ok, I admit that it is my fault for your confusion. I meant Data's I wrote the post late at night and I got a bit lazy. I said that they seem to be able to calculate as fast as Data's because Data is one of the few non-vulcans that we have seen do the vulcan nerve pinch.

It could also be a matter of how to apply the pressure. Although it never appears very violent in the series, the fact that Tuvok and Data can do it, and that humans can't, implies that it could involve greater strength, or maybe a complex application of pressure.

I hope you have forgiven me anyway they didn't use Tuvok as they should of. He could of been a great characcter. He always did investigations all he had to do was meld. I guess he didn't find this logical. Have you noticed that Tuvok gets beat up alot or his console explodes. I don't think Tim Russ was a good choice for a Vulcan. He did have some great eps though.
