Starship Class?
Every single ship the same design?
Tacky uniforms that no navy would be seen dead in?
Polystyrene rocks?
Scantily clad women round every corner?
Constant use of Security Guards when they always get shot/vaporised/eaten by killer plants?
Space Hippies?
Warp 647?
No warp core?
Only 3 characters, with some token extras?
Not even knowing what organisation they work for half the time?

Sorry, it may be a stupid idea and have Quantum-Leap-Guy as the captain, but i'll take Enterprise any day [Smile]

..and mine. Actually, I don't mind Enterprise, it's OK (or at least the ones I remembered to watch were), but I'm firmly in the Starfleet Museum camp [Big Grin] . I've never been especially fond even of the Akira class and I just don't like the E-nil, even without all the continuity errors.

You seem to have a strange understanding of what the show was all about...

I enjoy watching TOS. The characters (those that get developed that is) are amusing and interesting. The stories are usually entertaining (except the ones which try to preach a moral message). However, I don't think its realistic at all, and it doesn't fit in with how all the other Treks present the future. So I am perfectly happy to watch it, and enjoy it, but I just can't reconcile it being in the same universe as the others, especially now Enterprise is here.

"Charlie X" is good TV.

Well, sort of. It is not aggressively bad, I think, as certain others on that list are.

I might be retrending on old 2001 issues here, but after rereading Bernd's little rant on the subject, really got me thinking.

How come everyone who hates or just generally dislikes the show's look always have to look at the Daedalus and the E-nil for a comparison. Look, both designs came from the 1960's, and both of them were built on a rather low budget to begin with. The Daedalus class model is of real low quality.

So if we were to design something that looks like a 22nd design, should it look like a real smooth rocket with nacelles on it? I mean is it really far fetched that perhaps the Akira class perhaps is using some design elements to achieve what other designs cannot? The NX class cheats to get up to Warp 5, whereas, E-Nil and up do not (or at least we do not know about it).

In the Flying Wing and B-2 pic, the designers fell back on that design to use some of the elements to creat the stealth bomber. Not only that the JSF, possesses two plane designs, and from the looks of it, they have picked the F-35 design because it's not that harmful to look at.

I guess that's the end of my little rant.

Whenever I have doubts about the look of Enterprise, I just keep the following phrase in mind:

"Enterprise does not happen 100 years before TOS; it happens 100 years AFTER First Contact."

That helps make things a little clearer for me, in terms of looks. It's all about perspective.

In that case, I need to start coloring my perspective with a couple shots of hard liquor everytime I watch show.

I would just like to point out that, canonically, sphere-and-cylinders ship != Daedalus.

Well, if we're going down that route, the only time we've ever seen the spere and cylinders ship is as a desktop model, and for all we know Sisko was just a really, really crap model builder. Perhaps it never even existed as a real starship.

Which would be a good thing. It is as bad as "And the Children Shall Lead".

But, when was warp 647?

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.

Never was that warp....wasn't something like warp 14 or 15 the highest achieved?
