I stumbled onto this today, and got a good chuckle out of it. Though Id share.

That is definatly how it should have gone. Unshielded Galaxy Vs D-12 isn't even a fight; it's 2-second long suicide.

I remember when the Enterprise was captured by the Ferengi... I seem to recall that fight not lasting too long either

They fought? I thought Riker surrendered at the start... weird how surrendering to the Ferengi was more justified than dying to the Klingons (just).

The suicide was what it should have been for the Klingons, rather than what they made it for the Enterprise in the show (a D-12 wouldn't get a second shot off). The show seems to have a habbit of making fights bad for Enterprise unless the Captain is in charge.

From what I recall they were shot at until they lost shields and power

Oh yeah, decloaking BoP's and sneaky Ferengi... damn Enterprise took it up the ass in TNG almost as bad as science did on Voyager.

ahh yes, the infamous rascals episode. i didnt like that either. 2 old, junkyard bops had enough firepower to drop the ent's shields, and that was without any fancy shield codes/freqs etc just plain old fashioned dps. that was silly. and then when the shields drop they cant stop the ferengi beaming aboard, also silly, and then they react like stoners. commander data hang crashes and reacts with the speed of a commodore 64, what happened to the speed he had in the clipshow at the end of season 2 when he grabbed the hostile plant thing? and worf pulls a phaser, which he then forgets how to aim properly (which usually doesnt bother the beam itself, which bends in mid air) and misses, then forgets how to duck and gets whacked. and the entire squad of security redshirts mall cops dont react and the ship gets captured. riker partially redeems himself by putting a password on the computer to protect the ship hide his porn. it was one of the most stupid set ups for an episode i have ever seen. and then the whole adults turned into kids thing was silly too, but at least that had some comedy, which made it ok in my book.

Yup. That is definently a nightmare.  It's far more scary then the Borg.

i always wondered why he didn't just "rotate" shield frequency lol...

i assumed that the technology wasn't created to "rotate" shield frequency heheehe..

Well, nevertheless a direct hit of two torpedoes could also bring down the Enterprise, especially when aimed on the warpcore section. We also heard that one phaser shot could take out a whole ship when left without shields.

That's the Photons, I don't remember phasers having that kind of power. Only a a hand Phaser hitting the core at point-blank range can do that.

i didnt actually mind the generations battle that much. they got 2 photon torp hits direct on the engineering section as if shields were offline. that could easily have left them with less power and weakened. it could have easily destroyed the ent immediately. and then after that the ent changed the freq once, not expecting them to have immediate knowledge of the new freq, and took more hits as if their shields were down. after that it probably wouldnt matter if they changed freqs rapidly, the damage had to have been done.

though before the battle you gotta say they were stupid for not checking geordi's visor for spyware, the cleavage sisters could probably watch geordi masturbating.

Yes, and Worf and others would often say that firing with a photon torpedo so close to the Enterprise could destroy it... soo... not that illogical.

However it's still a dumb ending. Rick Berman and his idiots were too lazy to write something epic that would have caused the destruction of the Enterprise-D. They would have still gotten a new one to replace the overused Galaxy-model if they would have taken the effort to make it a good-quality story-based movie instead of the...
...stupid combination- / TOS overshadowing TNG- / nothing really happens- / we also don't care about what's at stake here-bullshit that Generations truly is.

I don't know which part is dumber... when Harriman states their course takes them beyond Pluto and back shortly before they're the only ship in range to help the El-Aurians, or the last orders on the Enterprise D.
