Favorite film

According to some game-history. The storyline of Legacy says that some borg in the sphere survived and somehow got their way down to earth. Then it goes to in Enterprise where they find the Borg on earth. This is one of those Paradox things that just seem to be unavoidable. Sela's existience is all thanks to Picard's granting of Tasha Yar's transfer to the Ent C. I dunno what you guys think, but I say Picard is to be nicknamed "Paradox Central".

The game-history doesn't count. The storywriters for Legacy also tried to explain some other things lateron, for example V'Ger being the mechanical source of the Borg and Defiant getting the cloaking device after she got captured by romulans and Enterprise D kicked the romulans asses.

And Picard sending Tasha back wasn't his fault at all. Guinan talked to him to send the Enterprise C back and also she explained Tasha (after she asked too many questions) that she's already dead in truth and that her death was senseless as far as she knows, so Picard granted Tasha the transfer to the Enterprise C after they talked about that.

This is impossible, I don't think I can really call any one my favorite (I do know which one I can call my least favorite, can you guess?). I voted for Nemesis, but mostly because that's the one I remember the best right now, I haven't seen most in a really long time. I like (almost) all of them equally though.

I don't know when Legacy was released relative to that episode but I'd say the game writers must have gotten that from the show or developed it in conjunction with the show writers and kept the story lines consistent, because in Enterprise they do find fragments from the Sphere in the Arctic or Antarctic along with several drones. It is conceivable that an un-destroyed section of the ship could have survived reentry if it was large enough. I certainly would have gone unnoticed. The drones were probably damaged and probably couldn't repair themselves before they froze solid resulting in them either entering a dormant, energy saving state, or being unable to repair themselves because the frozen nanoprobes were stuck in frozen blood.

The storywriters for Legacy also tried to explain some other things lateron, for example V'Ger being the mechanical source of the Borg

Since part of the premise of V'Ger is that it entered a black hole or somehow had contact with one, there may have been some aspect of time travel envolved; and since we know nothing about the origins of the Borg it is entierly possible that there is some connection between V'Ger and the Borg. If anything it might have had contact with the Borg, such as they were, there are too many unknowns to say but it is certainly possible.

Well If you ask me Janeway is the one responsible for the most disruptions in the space/time continuum.

It may be because she is so far from the Federation, but Temporal Investigations largest file currently belongs to James 'Shirtphobia' Kirk.

Still is and always will be IV: The Voyage Home for me.

 
Granted it doesn't have all the special effects battles that First Contact and Nemesis had (which I liked a lot ), but it's got SUCH a fun story and the personal relationships in it are scripted masterfully and humorously. 

  When I went home over Winter to see my family my Mom and I watched it after dinner and LOVED it.  Great family time movie as well because there is less techno-babble and more character.

Plus it's fun watching them in the Bird of Prey.

its funny the look he gets when he tries to talk into the mouse of the computer
Btw i voted for first contact, i like Insurrection as well. The only one of the TNG movies i dont like is Nemesis because they killed data.

posted on January 29th, 2010, 2:56 pm

That's ok because they had a spare data, with all of data's memories, locked away in the closet.
Kind of like I have a spare tire in my trunk, to take over when one goes flat.

Which of the Star Trek films is your favorite and why?

First Contact, because it is one of only 2 times TNG Borg are seen (minus the Queen).

Borg are seen in more than a couple episodes of TNG.  I think 5 specifically.  Then the movie.  So that makes 6 times.  7, if you count the episodes Picard got assimilated as 2 seperate ones.

  Or kind of like a silly plot device in league with:

"Oh my god it was all a dream!"
"So we time Traveled to make it better!"
"Phew, thank goodness it was just a simulation!"

Or any of those things that let filmmakers make the hard choice (killing Data) in the picture while essentially rendering it moot by including an EXACT replacement.

Booooooo

With Guinan, he didn't break his little ships.

That wasn't Guinan....it was a character beamed up from the Earth.  Her name was Lily.

And by the way; the scene in the ready room which is called "legendary" by many fans is just a copy of Picard yelling at Guinan when she asked him to talk with "Hugh". So what's that new about it?

With Guinan, he didn't break his little ships.

Whoa that's one hell of a lot new stuff, Tyler

Don't shoot me but I rather liked the new take on Star Trek shown in the latest movie. Granted there were quite a few things that bugged me from the designs of the ships to the emotional older Spock but in the end I think it was a very successful movie that has jump-started Star Trek again and kept in with Gene Roddenberry's original concept of Star Trek, something that we haven't really seen for a while. That being said, don't get me wrong I loved the other movies and series as well even Enterprise.

However I am a fan of the older movies too and I think I really liked the Undiscovered County the most out of the first 10 movies.

yeah, the only thing that I absolutely hated in the new movie (other than a bunch of cadets running the flagship  )  were the hand help phasers.  they were impractical, and they looked(and sounded) like something out of starwars. not that thats bad, it is just wrong in startrek
