I would love it if the US would finally switch to the metric system. Its so orderly, and makes sense...our system is just completely arbitrary. It's silly we're still teaching it and using it.

 

In the metric system water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. It's 30-somethingF and 212F, just no logic to it.

 

The rest of the world uses metric and we're too stubborn to follow up. Besides I'd prefer not to have to buy 2 sets of tools to work on my car, thank you very much.

It make it easy on the meteorologists. We get observations reported in Celsius and meters and have to convert it to Fahrenheit and miles to tell the public.

Hehe, the metric system is so backwards. Thats what, like 20 degrees and 8 inches of snow? Sheesh, Canada seems like a summer resort right now then.

That would be about 7.874 inches at 14 degrees Fahrenheit, so, yeah, you were close.

Also with the main topic, even if smoking tobaco does go out in the future, then something just as bad or worse will take its place. Throught history people heve had there bad habits, and I don't think that this will ever change.

One such bad habit would be holodiction, which we have seen Reg Barclay a victim of.

Ugh. Gag me with a spoon. :P

Thank you - you may proceed, Carefully.

...as A9 keeps that club hidden behind his back. :P

Sticky notes or taped paper?

ESPN. no idea what TSN is, and besides, ESPN advertises through McDonalds.

 

TNT or SPIKEtv

TNT.

Glasses or contacts?

Murray was “arguing” Ensign Gamble over the use of the cloaking devices. Commander Shamor had gone off to see to their installation, leaving Murray and Gamble to forget he had said anything.

Gamble looked at Murray, appalled. “Oh, so you agree with this? Great. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.”

Murray wished Gamble would just let it alone. The commander had told them that he would take sole responsibility. Murray didn’t have a problem with that. Aside from staying out of trouble, it was Shamor’s idea in the first place. Murray had voiced his objections, but Shamor apparently was set to do this. It was his idea and his tuckus on the line, so when Shamor had ordered them to forget everything they had discussed, Murray had no problem with it. “Agree with what? I have no clue what is going on here.”

Gamble looked furiously at Murray and walked back over to the science station.

Murray glanced at the tactical console which was now beeping at him. “Hmm. Incoming transmission. Bridge to the Captain. We have an incoming message from the starbase.” He wasn’t quite sure if the captain wanted to take this himself and thought it best to inform him.

“Well, answer it….” …or not.

“Aye, sir. Opening channel.” As Murray opened the channel, Gamble turned back to him. “Permission to leave the bridge.”

Murray looked at Gamble and shrugged. “Go ahead. I don't care. You're currently top gun in your department.”

As Gamble entered the lift Murray turned his attention to the viewscreen and the incoming message. It was the commander of the station. “Go ahead, Starbase.”

“We have received a signal from a Bolian freighter, saying they have detected a large vessel of unconfirmed design. They attempted to hail it but failed to get a response. We are transmitting coordinates now.”

“Acknowledged, Starbase. Coordinates received.” Murray closed the transmission and turned to see the captain enter the bridge. “Sir, a Bolian freighter has detected a large unknown vessel. It has not responded to hails. The starbase has forwarded the coordinates.”

Michaels looked at Murray upon hearing this. “Compare the coordinates to the projected source path of the Amar’s transmission.” Could this be it? Could this be the ship posing as the I.K.S. Amar?

Murray worked his console and was not surprised by the results. “The unknown vessel is located on the transmission path of the supposed Amar, sir.”

As the captain took this in, Murray stared at him. How much did the captain really know? Shamor had been in the captain’s office before their discussion about the cloaking devices. The captain had also said that going face to face with the supposed Klingon ship was not an option. But the cloaking devices would be a way around that, wouldn’t they. And it was doubtful that Shamor could install and use the devices without the captain’s and engineering’s notice.

Murray came to a conclusion. The captain knew. And he was just in engineering telling them to prepare to install the devices. Now they just needed to hope that it was the Klingons and not someone who would know about the Treaty of Algeron. It was ironic that the Reaent had just finished a mission involving the Pegasus, who was involved in violation of the treaty, and they were about to do the same. When it rains….

Zephrah ::Thwaps Murray:: you would wouldent you!

That I would.

Hey there,

 

One word: Chicken

I'd do it for the laughs.

Ok, There GM heads are big as it is. They get to have all the fun and now your going to make them bigger? ::ducks for cover:: :o

Yeah! If you want a head to make bigger, make it mine! :o :D :P

Murray,

 

I think I prefer the English pronounciation with a silent "t" at the end. It's the best of both worlds (if something can be gained from French...). :P

 

-Davies

I'm just going with what the dictionary said. Like I said, I prefer the French pronunciation. It just sounds better. Pretty much the only two differences between the two pronunciations are the silent "t" and "Ah" instead of the short "a" sound.

Eminem!!!!!

 

No TV or no computer?

That really depends on the situation. More likely no computer for me, though.

so what if they didn't mention it on TNG. the majority of the stuff from ENT was never mentioned on TNG. also, the TCW doesn't take place until years after TNG ends, so why should they know.

I was just trying to figure out what you said happened ten years earlier than it was supposed to.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Ah'-zhin-kor".

I have just looked it up in the dictionary. It can be pronounced "aj in kort", or the proper French pronunciation "Ah-zhan-koor", which I prefer. I guess we were both right.

A-Gin-Court? Kinda like the city in Toronto?

I was thinking something along the lines of "Ah'-zhin-kor".

How do you pronounce "Agincourt"?

yeah it was supposed to hapen 10 years ago but since it didn;t they just pushed it forward a bit

I think we could've done without the TCW altogether. This was never soemthing that we knew from the TNG-era that was supposed to happen, so how could have supposed to have happened ten years earlier?

enterprise-b is the ship in all of the movies after seach for spock, now ive never seen the beginning of generations but was it not destroyed?

 

i think im not quite sure but somthing in me is saying that the new ship in voyage home was enterprise A i cant remember.

 

yeah i was jsut joking, so yeah lets have an enterprise b sereis BUT i thik that we should stay within the current timlines of trek, do move any wars forward or back in time like ENT did

The Enterprise-B, seen only in Star Trek Generations, was just damaged.

Enterprise has not moved any wars. The only war so far, and we could've done without, was the Temporal Cold War. That's Braga the time machine for you.

Elton John or Eminem?

Being ill.

Captain Davies, I would like to apply for the Agincourt when the time comes, but I would be able to sim for a month and a half before having to go on LOA for the summer. Would you recommend I apply when during the initial application period or wait until fall?

It made no sense to create and entire area of space, and a race of people, even though the expanse no longer exists, it raises the question "where are the Xindi now?"

Yes, but we could say the same about the Tellarites and Andorians. How often did we see them after TOS? Heck, how often did we see them in TOS? Very rarely. Tellarites have not been seen since "Journey to Babel", nor have the Andorians, I believe. Nor the Orion nor the Rigellians.

As I said when DS9 came out, Voyager came out, and when Enterprise came out, lets see another show set in the TOS period :)

I think they should do an Enterprise-B series. We know very little about that era.

::nods at WxMurry:: Thank you.

 

In that sense, they could be any body. Ancestors of them selves, or maybe even ENT era Pandarians. Theres no point in speculating.

It wasn't really spoiler info in that it didn't tell anything of the episode, but if you don't want to know what's going on, then I shall endeavor to keep you ignorant as best as possible.

I would like to see Enterprise run for three more seasons, then I think Star Trek should take some time off.

I doubt Riker and Ms Riker (not Troi anymore hehe) will be on Enterprise.

Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis have been confirmed as guest stars for the series finale.
