"comparing them is like asking who you love more, your wife your children your parents. You love them all but in different ways."
Best description of how I feel about the original three , I tip my hat to you.
Agreed not one shower scene absolute rubbish.
Haunting scene it gives me the shivers Everytime I think about it.
No sir , call me crazy but as I need it for everyday life like getting to work on time and having paid thousands to buy it and maintain it, I kinda would like it to be where I left it. I like a simple boring life.
If I had a starship I'd definitely have a least one armed guard in shuttle bay. And a locked box to keep keys in.
Oh and maybe a guy who's job it is to open the doors and maybe confirm it's ok to take one out for a spin.
And while I'm at it a simple button that cuts all power to the hollow deck.
LMAO yep Everytime.
It's probably like in the movies, jump in the drivers seat look on top of the sun visor and bingo you have the keys.
I would pay good money to watch that.
Best agent ever.
Xenia Onatopp if your gonna be murdered you can at least die happy. And seriously she looks amazing.
A beer bottle opener that rotates into a pizza cutter.
It's when a man thinks with the little brain and not the big brain ! Done some stupid stuff for lust and love it's an illness really at least in the early part of a relationship.
Ruined it for me when the crew all meet each other and one of them states he wants nothing to do with any of them.
Humanities biggest discovery just around the corner and they hire a non team player. I actually groaned at the used a million times boring character that in no way would be suitable for such a mission. That one small line gave such huge disrespect to the audience.
Film only got worse.
Talking of jerks every paratrooper I ever met was a total jerk. Every time I met one ten minutes latter they were picking a fight usually with a lot smaller target.
Oh British royal marine commando's may be different to American marines.
I meet some Royal Marines while on a posting with the army, I was bricking it a bit at first ( forces rivalry) but they were a great bunch and made us feel welcome.
But back to the original question why do the jobs that suck when you could achieve all those things (not first contact) by not working a job that sucks. Being crew member would not suck. Replicating an item would kill the antique industry as real antiques would either be given or inherited or stolen ( had to throw that in, it just popped in my head I deal in antique military collectibles as a side line)
Fucking all day and leisure activities plus torisum would not get as boring as doing a thankless hard job. My point being all those things could be achieved without grafting a thankless job.
Thank you all for the input in this conversation I miss IMDB boards.
There's a good line in George Orwell's book animal farm " and now some are more equal than others".
Reminds me of a bit in ds9 about Sisko cooking a real chicken.
That did stand out must watch it again.
Could you not meet aliens as a tourist ? Why be a servant to the elites, (unpaid labour could be seen as slavery) Or is the tourism trade dead as no one has the will to work as a operator and all ship now are either cargo or federation and the only way to visit other worlds is to work on those ships doing service jobs like waiting staff ?And if you go to another world that still uses currency how do you eat and drink ? Suppose you could beam down with a packed lunch.
In some episodes they go to risa think it's called that anyway a pleasure planet full of hedonism. If I need no money to live a life of sexual deviancy with hot women from around the galaxy and pleasure in leisure the enterprise can drop my ass off.
Wow sorry dude.
"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm"
