Calling out Trekkies!!! Any Star Trek Fans??

**Joseph_Stalin** · 08-18-2004 12:49 AM

Does anyone here like Enterprise a little more than the rest of the series? I sure do. The constant conflict and moody tones, emotional chaos, and desperation of a [then] technological inferior race like the humans...it's all good. The series seems to have some more coherency than the others. Actually a LOT more. In my opinion, the ship battles are a little more believable too (of course, I'm not just talking about 3d graphics here, that's obvious enough, but not what I mean). Evasive manuevers actually ARE evasive. Ships don't stand around waiting to be hit as much. By taking a fraction of the realism out of the ship battles has made Enterprise a more pleasing show in that department.

Not to mention T'pol goodness every 3rd episode (I'm being generous here). Kinda taking back to the roots of Star Trek's sexuality.

Though Scott Bakula manages to make most of his parts believable, do you remember when Archer was tied up to the ceiling? "Listen to ME you son of a bitch!" Tied up and making threats? I couldn't stop laughing!

I too didn't much care for Voyager. The Original Series is always good for laughs (the character interaction can also make me smile). The Next Generation was plenty grand, mostly because of Commander "Luring-Female-Ensigns-To-My-Room" Riker, Data, and brocolli (*snicker*). Deep Space Nine gets second to Enterprise on character development and conflict, not to mention a little believable romance here and there (Jake was a surprisingly believable teenager too...for a space station kid I mean. Cirroc Lofton played the part very seriously for someone his age...unlike others *cough*WilWheaton*cough*).

Oh yeah, and didn't Uhura and Kirk have TV's first interracial kiss or something like that? Geuss that's where "no one has gone before" or at least dared to. Props to Gene Roddenberry.

That would be "Waking Moments". It's one of my favourite episodes and actually it was the first time I heard about lucid dreaming. I was already wondering why nobody brought it up on the first three pages...

When everybody has nightmares about a strange alien race, Chakotay induces a LD, using earth's moon as dreamsign, in oder to communicate with the aliens in the dream state.
Well... everything else would be a spoiler... go watch the episode!

I'm kicking up an old topic, but I think that episode is the most relevant to lucid dreaming than any other episode of anyother show or movie I've seen.

Its called "Waking Moments". Everyone sees a common alien in their dreams, and Chakotay discusses and uses lucid dreaming to find out who the alien is. But the aliens use some kind of technology to put the whole crew to sleep and make them share a common dream which they think is real in order to "defeat them" and capture their ship.

Its a good, interesting episode all round. In fact it sort of got me looking into the subject a lot more.

I was into TNG, but then i was enlightened, and realized how fuckign awesome DS9 was/is

i hope to get a few seasons on DVD for Xmas...

**Barbizzle** · 12-24-2004 06:09 PM

I love startrek. Im getting the complete voyager seirse for chrstmas. I just love all the cahrecter intercation, and connections between them. I dont relaly lie the origanl seires or ds9. But i love enterprise, next generation, and voyager. My fav startrek women are Beverly Crusher, Di'ana Troy, Seven of 9, And TI'POl. Ti'pol is the hottest of them I think. Its just so aowmse how everyone has cell phones just like in the origanl seires where they had those filp phones. lol. Immgione someone fomr the past hwo loved the orignal seires, and coming to todays world. It just getes more and more simmlar in technology. We ahev the communicatoptrs. We have refirgerators taht give os ice and water( somewhat liek a replicator) scineteist have been able to transport radio signals, we have mega computers, and tiny chips ot sned information. In some aspects we are mroe advanced than tos. We ahve the internet, they didnt have that. But, TNG had the internet computers that coudl get any info, and we have that too now. We found evidence of water on marse, and have a reuslabe rocket ship now. the futre only looks more trekkie. lol.

Hey, I heard you were calling out to all Star Trek fans! Ok, I'm new here, so I'm not sure if I am putting this reply in the right place, but lets hope I am. I absolutely love all the Star Treks, but my favorite is Star Trek:Voyager. I am constantly having dreams about Voyager, though I have not yet had a lucid dream involving it. Have you seen the Voyager episode "Waking Moments?" Its all about lucid dreams, and it even talks about dream signs. It's one of my many favorite episodes.

**TygrHawk** · 02-15-2005 05:08 PM

I'm another Trekker. I was saddened to hear that "Enterprise" has been cancelled, and this will be the first time in 18 years that there will not be a current Trek series on television. I've enjoyed all the series.

I think that TNG had some of the best individual episodes -- "Tapestry" and "Cause and Effect" spring to mind as well as the delightfully humorous "A Fistful of Datas", though I supposed the "holodeck malfunction" plot device was a bit overused. I haven't had a chance to watch Enterprise as much as I'd like, but I've really liked what I've seen. DSN probably had the best character interactions of them all, and Voyager perhaps had the most unique stories.

**Clairity** · 03-06-2005 10:49 PM

I too loved the Star Trek series and have used it to help explain LDing.

In describing what LDing is to others, I will ask if they have ever seen Star Trek. If they answer "yes", I'll ask if they ever wished they coud visit the Holodeck and go anywhere and do anything their minds could conceive of. If so, then that's why I lucid dream.. it's like having my own personal Holodeck that I access via my dreams.

Hey A Lost Soul,

I think I am becoming a Star Trek Expert. I know that episode, I liked it alot too. It's called \"The Inner Light\".
Also, the inner light reminds me too of some of those dreams where people become lucid and time is very long. One of the members was in a jail cell for 2 years and he woke up after being shot with a futuristic laser. That was a cool post. Sorry, since I forgot your name. There is another one on the internet where some person dreampt a span of 100 years.
In \"The Inner Light\" picard lives a whole life in the span of 23 minutes while Doctor Crusher tries to revive him.

OMG that's the best episode ever. I really like Star Trek. TNG was the best. Picard rules, he made me drink Earl Grey. 7 of 9

and T'Pol too.
Oh yeah and that episode where Picard was telling the alien about Gilgamesh because they couldn't communicate normally.
I just love Star Trek.
They are showing the reruns of Voyager here. So good.
And one TOS episode where they took Spock's brain out and then controlled him with two buttons. That was the funniest episode.

**Rakkantekimusouka** · 03-07-2005 12:48 AM

Like in my profile, I am primarily a TOS Trekkie, but the first Trek series I ever saw was Voyager, and I don't watch it as much anymore, but I still like it.

**Barbizzle** · 03-07-2005 01:12 PM

I love captin janeway....

**Vladimirn** · 03-25-2005 11:37 PM

Admiral Vlad here

Live Long and Prosper

**Mystical_Journey** · 03-26-2005 01:48 AM

Star Trek The Next Generation RULES! So many fresh and interesting ideas and themes running through each episode, Gene Roddenberry is a genius!

Pickard is easily the best Captain!

All the characters are well developed, each episode seems to flow perfectly, the music is interesting, the comedy is amazing, the emotional intensity can never be re-produced in Deep Space nice (my next fav) or Voyager etc

I havent had any Star Trek Dreams yet.....but im hoping to become Lucid and create my own holo-deck program

The original series still has a place in my heart, wish I was around when it was first broadcast. I refuse to watch one episode of that Enterprise $£^%$& on Principle (lol) I haven’t even seen the opening credits people seem to hate. Quantum Leap Sam playing the captain of the Enterprise........OH BOY!!!!!!!!! (lol)

**Super_Kal** · 03-09-2007 04:32 AM

I am a HUGE star Trek fan... and now Abrams has said that the new movie is now coming out December 25th, 2008. I have a lot of hope for this movie, even if it is a reboot.

**Elastic Onion** · 03-09-2007 04:37 AM

Star Trek TNG is the best. Period. I watch it every night on G4, and I agree with Mystical Journey, Picard is the best captain there is.

EDIT: Just as I posted this, I remembered a trek-themed dream I had last night. I was on a starship with my family, and some alien species was taking control of it.

**Super_Kal** · 03-09-2007 04:40 AM

that would be a great dream, IMO... to work inside a the enterprise or something. That would probably be one of the best dreams of my life.

**Super_Kal** · 03-09-2007 01:14 PM

I actually did at one point have a dream about Jean-Luc Picard. It was awesome... we sat there and talked a good while about things.

Not a hard-core fan here, but posting a link to an article that might be of interest to Trekkies:

**dragon-architect** · 03-09-2007 08:58 PM

Star Trek Voyager right here!

Although I tune in to TNG every once in a while.

I have to get my daily dose of Star Trek or else I'll suffer withdrawal.

**tekdawg** · 03-10-2007 03:47 AM

I've followed Star Trek from the original and I like them all, it took a few episodes on each of the news series but they grow on you.

Favorite Character: Spoc
Favorite Capt.: Kirk
Favorite character interaction: Spock and McCoy
Favorite Series: The Original ( I chose this one because of character interactions)
Favorite Ship: Enterprise-E (TNG)
Favorite Villain: The Borge
Favorite Episode: "Cause and Effect" (in case you don't remember it here's a hint: 3)
T'Pol

Loose End: Wesley Crusher becomes a time traveler, could have at least had him in a couple more episodes saving the day or helping the crew in some way or another.

can't think of anything thing else to add at the momment
