Borg seem slightly less incompetent. The founders themselves were the Dominion's greatest weakness.

TNG OR DS9?

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:54 pm

TNG. Though if forced to compare season-by-season...

They both got off to a bit of a weak start. That was normal back then, but it wouldn't fly these days. Both had pretty solid middle seasons that contained some of my favorite episodes. Both were good until the end, though DS9's final season had a very strong storyline, and TNG had a bit of 'filler' - though the finale was brilliant. So why TNG over DS9? Because I grew up watching it, and if you asked me to describe a happy moment from my childhood, there's a good chance it would revolve around watching TNG. Hey, better than nothing. What thread is this again? Oh yeah.

TNG series finale or DS9 series finale?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:04 pm

I felt more of a loss when TNG ended but the actual final episode(s) of DS9 were superior.

Nothing wrong with Star Trek questions.

Riker or Chakotay

Riker. I really wanted to like Voyager, but it just never really happened.

Enterprise-D or Enterprise-E?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:20 am

Though Enterprise D appeared in my house for most of decade, when the "E" charged into the battle and flashed across the path of the Borg cube in First Contact it was so damned impressive.

Starfleet phasers or Klingon disruptors?

Stun setting means less paperwork. (Though Klingons probably don't bother with paperwork.)

Tricorder or Universal Translator?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:01 pm

I think the tricorder is one app download away from being able to be used as a translator.

Ship episode or planet episode

Post by **Sorus** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 1:16 am

Nothing against paper mache rocks, but ship episode 9 times out of 10.

Crusher or McCoy?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 11:21 am

McCoy.

Truth is I never knew how much I liked Beverly until Dr. Crusher was replaced by Dr Pulaski in Season 2 of TNG.

But McCoy is freaking McCoy.

TNG with or without Wesley?

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 12:06 am

With. I can't say he contributed to any of my favorite scenes, but I never disliked him enough to wish him gone. He's part of it, for better or for worse.

Horta or Tribble?

Horta. They make great tunnels.

Packets of red pepper flakes or of parmesan cheese (for some reason, I can't get pizza off of my mind

)?

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 6:55 pm

Parmesan, though I don't usually bother since the shaker they provide at my favorite pizza place looks a little bit... disreputable.

Pizza: Crust or point first?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Mon Jul 03, 2017 12:45 am

Point first. I am a conformist.

Intelligence or wisdom?

Post by **Sorus** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 11:40 pm

Intelligence seems like a more practical choice for day-to-day life, though I don't believe they are mutually exclusive.

Art Museum or Science Museum?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Wed Jul 05, 2017 11:03 am

Wow. I think it would depend on my mood. I go to each for different reasons. I'm guessing Science today because I'm in that kind of mood.

Deep Impact

Armageddon

Post by **Sorus** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 12:58 am

Armageddon was probably a better movie over all, but I did enjoy seeing Deep Impact in the theater.

You check your phone for the first time in several hours and you have no new messages. Are you relieved or disappointed?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 11:15 am

Extremely relieved.

Would you rather see smells or hear colors?

Post by **Sorus** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 10:14 pm

Hearing colors could be cool. Seeing smells would probably necessitate a blindfold to get through the train station, and that's a bad idea for so many reasons.

Pick a superpower: Invisibility or Flying.

Post by **aTOMiC** » Fri Jul 14, 2017 12:16 am

I choose invisibility as it is far less likely.
People are only a perfected jet pack away from personal flight.

Snow skiing or water skiing?

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Jul 19, 2017 1:53 am

Snow skiing, because I feel like I'd have more control.

Scrabble or Chess?
