Defiant season 3, Worf season 4.Almost finished with season 2 of DS9. When the fuck does Worf and the Defiant show up?
I don't remember exactly when the Defiant shows up in 3, but Worf shows up in the Season 4 premiere, so it's not that long of a wait. And honestly, once you make it through Season 1, you'll survive the wait for Worf and the Defiant.
Absolutely not. Homosexuality has been cured by the 24th century.I've been thinking about what sort of characters would be cool to have in a new Star Trek show, if we get one. Do you guys think it's time for a gay or bi or whatever character in a Star Trek show? I'm thinking that someone like Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood could be pretty interesting in whatever the new show is.
This made me laugh out loud.Absolutely not. Homosexuality has been cured by the 24th century.
Except the very first thing they did with the borg was have them capture Picard to make a unique borg that served as its face. Did you people even watch that show?yep, when they introduced the borg queen, they ruined the borg.i had a discussion with another nerd like myself about all these "faceless" races. The Tyranid from wh40k, the early zerg in starcraft, even (to a lesser extend) the Cylons in BSG
they all were enemies you could not comunicate with. they is no understanding, now dialogue. They are mindless, indifferent waves of destructions. The Borg, just like the zerg, have lost that characteristic the moment they have been characterized. They are now powerful enemies, but enemies you can at least understand to some extend. An this understanding, even if little, makes them way less scary
They change Captains in the second season and the new one is much more fun. He basically like B5 because of all of the weird crap that can and does happen with so many species present. There is a tension between Earth, Psi-Core and B5 that pays off huge in season 3. The show has a quirky sense of humor that really begins to develop in after season 1 as well and they do a great job of casting each of the races in the role of the villain with ever shifting alliances and power plays.I am a huge fan of all the star treks but I just can't get into Babylon 5. I had the same issue initially with DS9 but by season 3 it was excellent. Is there a point in Babylon 5 where it suddenly becomes awesome that I can aspire to?
I found it strange that they would pursue this tactic for any other reason than psychological warfare. Locutus was still a drone who had his original personality submerged in favor of the collective will so no matter what the claim was he was still just another drone, and as there was nothing to actually negotiate for; the Borg's intended purpose was still to assimilate and therefore destroy humanity. The shock of seeing the Captain of the flagship of Star Fleet on the bridge (or whatever qualifies for one) of a Borg cube might delay any military response Earth might take as the shock sets in. I don't agree that independent personalities within the Borg were unprecedented simply because we were not given enough information to make that assessment, the few cubes encountered in TNG are not indicative of the rest of the civilization which resides far enough away that it took the power of Q to send the Enterprise not into the heart of Borg space but merely to the nearest cube. That cube could have been centuries out of date and only outfitted with drones without displaying much of Borg culture to newly encountered species.Mikhail Bakunin_sl said:Except the very first thing they did with the borg was have them capture Picard to make a unique borg that served as its face.
