Picard Tells It Like It Is

[curiosityandthecat]

Rick Warren: "Let us pray."
Captain Picard: (standing up) "Let us do no such damned thing."

[Wechtlein Uns]

ha! El-oh, ELL!  

[Kyuuketsuki]

Don't make Picard angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Picard's a pansy compared to KIrk or Sisko.

Star Trek rules, period.

Well yeah ... except that "Babylon 5", "Battlestar Galactica" and "Firefly" all beat the pants off it (at least from Next Gen on)

I did quite like the Borg though ... and Seven? Yum!

Could somebody post a transcript of what picard says on the youtube video? Come on, you guys know I don't have the bandwidth...

Ha ha. You can watch this one. It's about a total of five seconds long.

I have yet to meet anyone who didn't like Seven of Nine.  Babylon 5 stunk, and I've never seen Firefly.  But, I totally agree with Battlestar, it's great.  I just wish someone would get rid of Lee, he works my nerves, goodie-two-shoes!

Seven of Nine? One of the worst actresses of our time. Stacked? Sure. But there are plenty of women that are nice on the eyes that can also act up a storm. Babylon 5 was great for it's time, but Battlestar (reimagined) really is the one and only best science fiction space drama in history.

And Lee? He rebelled against Olmos, he pulled a gun on Tigh, had a torrid relationship with a whore, he tried to passively commit suicide, he tried to abandon cylon occupied New Caprica, he cheated on his wife repeatedly, and he almost tossed cylon Tigh out an airlock. Don't get me wrong, he's clearly the moral core of the show, but I don't how if goodie-two-shoes is quite on the mark.

[spoiler:7ivf9uxx]And I think we all know Lee will be taking over the civilian government after Roselyn finally passes away from her cancer. He kinda has to stick around.[/spoiler:7ivf9uxx]

[VanReal]

What? Seven of Nine was a Borg....she acted like a Borg....

Maybe that's it, Lee is always trying to walk the fence and do the right thing which has been inconflict with what I think should be happening, so maybe that's my big problem with him.  It's personal  :pop:

It's why I watched Voyager (and only from 3.<whatever the last one was> on ... gawd I hated Kes!!!!!

Babylon 5

You're insane ... it's what Star Trek was meant to be.

Firefly

Lasted only 16 episodes or some such and rumour has it that Fox TV (I think it was Fox) cancelled it because it was "too atheist". Oh, and don't let anyone kid you that "Serenity" (Firefly film) was better ... the series rocks.

But, I totally agree with Battlestar, it's great.  I just wish someone would get rid of Lee, he works my nerves, goodie-two-shoes!

Lee's OK (How can you not like him after the Tilium refinery raid?) , Kara Thrace ("nothing but the rain") is wicked, Baltar awesome ... the one they need to get rid of is Roslin.

Seven of Nine? One of the worst actresses of our time.

What? She can act as well? You're sh**ting me! Actually I thought she was OK and she was pretty good in "Shark".

Babylon 5 was great for it's time, but Battlestar (reimagined) really is the one and only best science fiction space drama in history.

Heresy! Personally I thought Firefly was better but BSG has gone the distance so kudos to it's makers.

I don't how if goodie-two-shoes is quite on the mark.

For once I agree ... I'd say he occupies the "straight man" position though.

Didn't know that, didn't suspect it ... just have to wait and see.

I've been watching through the entire series (currently on 4:03) before watching the new ones on Sky ... awesome! I never realised I missed so much!

Firefly was mesmerising. It is a real pity they cancelled the show. The film was incredible. Jewel Staite is YUM.

I went off Star Trek long ago. Too much of that show is based upon principles created in the 50's and they get out of sticky situations far too often by 'realigning the tachyon couplings'. As far as i'm concerned, almost all of the 'futurism' star Trek engenders is very 'yesterday'. I did enjoy the Picard era though.

Battlestar Galactica is impeccable. I can think of nothing they could do to make it better. I was most displeased when i found out the fifth season would be its last... I don't think anything will come close to its sci-fi grandeur for a very long time.

Well apart from the film (which I basically thought sucked) yeah ... Ms Staite was much better in Firefly than in Atlantis.

Before you do she's only in it from something like S4 on.
