Topic: Favourite Star Trek Battle

So there is a poll out for favourite Star Trek Comedy scene. Now how about favourite battle sequence?

My favourite is from STVI with the invisible Cloaked Bird of Prey. Sure, there may not be enough ships to blow up, but then again, the suspense in that scene just blows me away.

I don't know, I'd have to go with the two space battles between the Enterprise and the Reliant in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The battle in the nebula was especially good, and I think that mainly because of Spock's sacrifice.

That battle was good, as was the whole sequence in TWoK. And, of course, there's SoA...

Well, I dont think this is what you had in mind by "battle", but I loved the fight between Sisko and Q in an early DS9 episode

The whole Wrath of Kahn sequence was beautifully crafted. But let's not forget "Call To Arms." That "camera on the torpedo" thing. Wow.

Wasn't that in WotW? Or was it in both?

Not quite a battle, but I loved the scene with the USS Oddyssey being kamikazed by the Jem'Hadar in "The Jem'Hadar". Still has me in awe seeing a Galaxy-class go down like that.

I think you're right Frank. That was WotW I was thinking of. Though I'd like to go ahead and vouch for "Call to Arms" too.

I'd say it's a tie between Wolf 359 and the SoA battle for DS9. Actually, I'm gonna make it a 3-way tie between those 2 and the FC Battle for Earth.

Well, some of my favourites have already been mentioned, but I'll add the battle between the Enterprise-D and the Duras bird of prey in Generations, I thought that was pretty well done too.

The battle at Sector 001 in First Contact. It was so much better done that SofA, which kept cutting away and totally ruined the impact.

*puts the first vote in for Voyager!*

The whole of "Think Tank". Gotta love that ending.

I also like sequences from "Tears of the Prophets" and "The Jem'Hadar". *sees no appeal to the battles against the Borg; is a very strange person and knows it well*

And a quote from that same battle:

Helm officer: Not yet, sir.
