Don't forget the " Leave the CMO and a bunch of rookies on the ship with the motherfucking BORG in the area while we empty the ship of anyone worth shit to look for ONE AWOL crewman". What was the name of that episode? I think it was "What the fuck are you thinking!?"
I'd only have to ditch the truly horrid episodes of TOS: much of it was really good for it's time. Crap like "Spock's Brain" or the ones with gangsters, nazis or greek gods have to be chocked up to 60's drug experimentation and excised from the timeline.
The "Dr. Crusher scottish ghost story" needs to go, as does the TNG crew devolving into monsters crap (a idea so damn bad they used it again in Voyager).
ANY historical figures still being alive and well in the future needs to go for sure: Amelia Earheart is alive and well (and still wearing the same clothes!) on an alien planet at the assend of the Galaxy? Drugs are bad.
Hey, you're right: this IS fun!

In addition, we can remove every single holodeck episode of Voyager.
And we can do the same with the Intruder Friendly Operating Systems from Basics.
And The One Where 8472 Pretend To Be Humans.
And The One With The People Whom Everyone Forgets.
Ooh, and 11:59.
The problem I have with TOS is the way SF goes from decent (ENT) to rubbish (TOS) to decent again (TNG/DS9/VOY). So either I can place ENT in a different timeline, and excuse its decentness by saying it got it from the E-E in FC, or I can remove TOS (and the episodes from the other series which refer to it). I think I'd rather just treat everything as canon and place ENT in a different timeline, to be honest.

Jesus! I had blocked out the god-awful "captain Janeway falls in love on the Holodeck" nightmare!!!! Fuck. Now I'll wake up screaming again. Thanks alot Phoenix.
I'd really love to see Starfleet Command's debrifing on her screwing photons and the effect it must have had on the crew's morale.
If anyone ever mentions the word "continuity" all you have to say is Dork Frontier andd the conversation sputters to a halt right there.
As a starship designer I really have to question the brainiacs that made the Promethous: "a ship so advanced that only 12 easily killed, unarmed officers can fly it and they *upgrade* the EMH to andy Dick". Why not go all the way and have a holographic Jerry Lewis to run the ship too?

Um... last we saw, the NX-01 only had two starboard cannons, and only one port cannon. Unless they magically made up parts for more weapons the same way that Voyager made parts for more shuttles...
Sorry for the delay, but I've only just seen the episode. Reed actually says "both forward phase cannons are down". He slurs the word a bit, but it's definitely "forward".

Hmm, that sounds reasonable. We can blame it on the bad British accent.

Have you ever seen Janeway?
Actually, I think the Worst Captain Ever award probably should go to the Prometheus' Captain, who managed to lose the most powerful ship in Starfleet to a bunch of Romulans.

"the ones with gangsters, nazis or greek gods"
So, all the best ones, then?
Ok, maybe just "A Piece of the Action," but come on! A classic by any definition.

Not by mine (while readily admitting that I am perhaps not the most, erh, qualified person to judge on classicalities).

The tech of trek is cool and all but some people just take it way too seriously. It was a very enjoyable episode and better then anything else on at the time. I'm willing to put money on Enterprise lasting seven seasons.
Yeah... well I'm like Nigel Powers [or was it Austin]:
There are only two things I hate: People who are intolerate of other people. And the Dutch.
Well in my case it's people who cannot allow others to enjoy the aspects they enjoy, and people like you!
Those of us in this forum get as much out of the characters and plots as we do out of the tech and in-jokes.
As far as I'm concerned you don't have to come to this forum, though that's not my decision. I'd also recommend you grow up a little, and allow others to enjoy the things they enjoy--- and complain about the mistakes they see in the things they enjoy.
