"All-Time" Star Trek Moments.
« on: December 22, 2006, 02:55:40 pm »
We all love different aspects of Star Trek.  I thought I'd start a thread where we share what we each consider to be the "all-time greatest" moment in Star Trek history.  It doesn't even have to be flashy.  Here's my favorite Star Trek moment.  Kirk really pulls one out of his *ss this time.

Typically today's posters can't spell worth a darn, or maybe I have been spelling Reliant wrong all these years. ::)

There are too many great moments, but what comes to mind easily is General Chang attacking the Enterprise and quoting Shakespeare.  Bones saying "I'd give real money if he'd shut up" was perfect and the stunned look as the modified torpedo homed in on their cloaking prototype.

Now a different great moment from what you were after.  Me and the Mrs. at the Paramount star trek marathon that was held across north america a few months before the undiscoverd country was released. There we were with a theater full of trekkies, aged grandparents to kids, watching the the first five movies.  In between 2 and 3, they ran the full trailer for undiscovered country and the place erupted in excitement that I have never seen before or since in person.  People were running back from the concession stands to see what the heck was going on.  They ran it again betwen 4 and 5 and I don't think the concessions did very well after the trailer first ran. ;D

Even thought I'm not a big TNG fan, there were some pretty cool scenes from Nemesis.

Of the thousands of Trek moments this one still is my favorite:

From "The search for spock" when Kirk and Sulu go to rescue Bones from his cell-
     Kirk holds up 'the Vulcan salute' and asks bones "How many fingers do you see"?
     Bones replies "That's not very damn funny"

I couldn't find a clip for this one, so here's the whole episode.  City on the Edge of Forever.  I cry like a baby every time I watch this one.

My favorite part happened in a movie, though it was predictable.  Scotty tells the captain he knows the ship like the palm of his hand, and while he is talking to himself he knocks himself out on a steel beam.

The battle with the Reliant clearly ranks up there.  One of my favorites is the Enterprise facing off with the cloaked Bird-of-Prey and having the Excelsior under the command of Captain Sulu arrive in time to tag team General Chang.


On a different note.

One of the all time worst moments, or moments lost, was the death of Kirk.  I was watching Generations and here Captain Kirk helps Picard save the Enterprise D as well as an entire planet and Starfleet leaves him under a pile of rocks?  Maybe Picard forgot to tell his superiors, "Oh by the way, I was assisted by one of Starfleet's legendary captains.  Captain James T. Kirk."

They should have had an honor guard retrieve his remains and had an escort for the USS Farragut back to Earth for a proper burial.

Could have been an all time Star Trek scene.

Could have been......

From one of the novels (Battlestations).  A young commander on the path to beat Kirks time to Captain is back in her cabin on the Enterprise after having stopped the Enterprise and an experimental transwarp drive from being stolen has a very ill Scotty come to the door and say "Lassie I want a word with you"

 [spoiler]She had bent one of the Enterprise warp nacelle supports with her ships tractors to stop it, wrecking her small ship in the process.  It read better in the original than here. ;)[/spoiler]

My favorite is when Kirk gest back to the Enterprise after beaming to the planetoid from Regula spacelab.

Spock - Reliant is losing speed.

Kirk-  Khan, are you game for a rematch?

Khan- <surprised look>

Kirk- Khan...  I'm LAUGHING at the "superior intellect".

Khan- full impuse power!

Khan's #1- NO!!  We have Genesis!

Khan- FULL POWER!! DAMN YOU!!! <throws #1 aside>

Kirk- I'll say this for him, he's consistent.

Star Trek V:

McCoy: Its a song, you green blooded vulcan, the words arent important, that you have a good timing singing it is!
Spock: Oh, I am sorry Doctor... Were we having a good time?
McCoy: GOD, I liked him better BEFORE HE DIED!

OR:

Trouble with Tribbles:

McCoy: Spock, I have discovered one thing about the tribles.
Spock: Oh? What is that Doctor?
McCoy: I like them. Better than I like YOU!
Spock: They do indeed have one redeeming characteristic Doctor.
McCoy: Oh? Whats that?
Spock: They do not talk too much. Good day, Sir.

Both pricless, insert Diehard talking to t00l in either spot, except with an NC-17 rating for language.

A Taste of Armageddon.

Scotty: This is the USS Enterprise. The entire surface of your planet has been mapped and every target plotted into our fire control computer. In exactly one hour and forty five minutes, the entire inhabited surface of your world will be destroyed. You have that long to release your hostages.

Now THAT is when the Fr3ds had balls. I bet they dont even HAVE General Order 24 in TNG, feh.

Kirk has so many, but Id have to say the best one, and I think it came from the episode with the Kelvans, A rose by any other name IIRC was:

"Resistance is never Futile"

I agree with that along with The Final Reflection and the Diane Duane Romulan books (newest volume out now).  I just bought those 2 volumes and plan to reread the series and then the newest book.

What I especially like about those books is that they are faithful to the series but don't center on Kirk and the other series characters but create their own.

 ;D




All the Spock/McCoy sniping was fantastic.  A Taste of Armageddon is probably one of the top five Star Trek episodes of all time, and all series.  When Kirk said that he, and he alone, with one phaser, could destroy the entire planet, I knew he had a big, brass set in his trousers.  That General Order 24 is completely hard core.  It really showed just how ruthless the Federation could be where its personnel was concerned.  You're right, man.  TNG Starfleet Command is too soft to have a General Order 24.  If they do have it, they probably have to set the phasers to "tan" and just give everyone on the planet unsightly leathery skin. 

Here's a little teaser for Armageddon I found.



Balance of Terror is another top five episode.

Not Trek persay, but Bill Shatners SNL appearance with "Get a Life" rates pretty high up there.

The Battlestations and Dreadnought Trek novels were terrific.  Duane has a way of really bringing her characters to life.  She puts just enough funny in to give you the giggles.  Aren't these the books that mentioned something about Klingons drinking ale distilled from butterflies?


(By the way, only fruity Klingons have head ridges.  REAL Klingons look like swarthy Mongolians with van Dyke beards.)
