 been watching Mythbusters have you ?


Yes, they (Mythbusters) screwed it up. Of course Kirk knew the exact proportions for gun powder in his head. He was a collector of antique weapons. He also would have reinforced the bamboo from the inside as well. (Scotty slipped him some transparent aluminum.) They just didn't show that part for pacing reasons. Picard would have still been trying to negotiate as the Gorn was cutting out his heart.

have grown impatient with his halting, gasping sentences and thrown him out

Dear BorgQueen,

I apologise for what must have sounded something of a sexist comment. I understand that it is not in the spirit of chess.com. I do assure you that it was quite out of character. 

Regards ekorbdal (Adam)

When you say "Just like Captain Kirk" everybody knows just what you mean. When you say "Just like Captain Picard" they say "Who?" If Picard had been in the original series we would not still be talking about Star Trek today. Picard thinks Swashbuckling is part of getting dressed.

Conquistador

Screw the tea!  Kirk would just grab the brandy like a real man!

No I think he typed it perfectly the first time. Tongue out

Okay, I see Kirk, Spock, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Scotty, Yeoman Rand, Nurse Chapel, but who is the last person in the row?

That is the expendable crew member who always gets killed when they first beam down to the planet.

CarolynAlbie

But we are all at least agreed that the ST: Enterprise sucks big blue Andorian behind?

Conquistador

Star Trek: Enterprise had a lot of potential.  At times, I found it to be really good, even great.  Then there are other times when you just have to wonder. 

If only there was a season 5 to have it reach its glory.  Give the dogs a war!

 Yes there had to be a Capt Kirk so that we'd know when a better captain like Picard came along.

Xardak

You all missed THE most important thing. Picard needed Kirk to defeat a foe he could not. I can't imagine a scenario where kirk needs pickard to do something he cannot. Also if you examine it carefully you'll see tha NG just took the chars of the original and devided them  amongst the ng crew Kirk=Picard/Ricker   Spock=Data/Warf    McCoy=Crusher/Troy   Scotty=Jordy/O'brian

Don't agree.  Kirk couldn't have defeated Soran alone either.  They needed each other.


If Picakard had'nt screwed up Kirk wouldnt have had to be out there on the hanging walk way where he ultimately died.

Phelon

Kirk and Picard fought the same guy, only one of them died. Clearly the dead one is superior, like this thread argues, right?

wormrose

I could never reconcile myself to the common, ordinary circumstances in which Kirk died. I mean it just a fight, right? Just some fisticuffs with a typical evil villain. A guy like Kirk should have died in a heroic act of courage and selfless nobility which ultimately would have saved most of humanity - or the crew - or at least Spock.

Sarcasm? Many have died in RL proving they were superior in the act. Also do not the needs of the many outwiegh the needs of the one?<sounds like comunism>
