Genius .. same thing ;)

so what's the odd/even number rule of Star Trek movies ???
:confused:

[Bob Hubbard]

The Odd ones will suck, the even ones will be good.

1 Star Trek: The Motion Picture was blah
2 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was great
3 Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was boring
4 Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is considered one of the best.
5 Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is universally considered flawed
#6 Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Countryis also at the top of the 'best trek film' list.

TNG movies:
1 Star Trek: Generations - was ok, but didnt meet expectations
2 Star Trek: First Contact - considered the best of the TNG films
3 Star Trek: Insurrection - again fell flat.
4 Star Trek: Nemesis - Considered a fair movie, but still eh.

A 'what happened' page is at
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/248828/

Of course, the curse now has been broken:

STAR TREK: NEMESIS (2002)
The curse has been broken!
Long have Star Trek fans lamented the Odd-Even Curse, where odd-numbered Star Trek movies suck and even-numbered Star Trek movies rule. I think it's more than a little oversimplified, but there's definitely something to it. Well, fret no more, Trek fans - the curse has been smashed at last. Finally, an even-numbered Trek movie that sucks!

We need the WIlliam Shatner speech from Saturday Night Live right about now!

[Bob Hubbard]

You asked for it....

====
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
with guest host William Shatner

Broadcast live from New York on Saturday, the twentieth of December, 1986.



CAST:
Ears.....Jon Lovitz
Charlie.....Dana Carvey
Artie.....Kevin Nealon
Emcee.....Phil Hartman
Himself.....William Shatner
Second Emcee.....A. Whitney Brown

William Shatner: Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you! Hey! First of all, I want to say it's quite a thrill to be hosting the show tonight, it's a nice way to cap off a great year for me! Yeah! "Star Trek IV" has turned out to be a huge hit.... [ applause ] Yuh! And I can only hope that "T.J. Hooker IV" does half as well!

Actually, I'm very proud of our new movie because... uh... y'know... in making a film about the threatened extinction of the whales, we were trying to make an important... an important statement. And that is, a sequel can be just as successful as its original. [ flat joke, subdued applause ]
You know, it still amazes me that the uh... the influence the series has. It's now been shown in over a hundred countries and of course each country translates it to fit their own culture. For example, in Japan, I understand it's called, "Sulu, Master of Navigation." [ polite titters of laughter] So it's truly worldwide.

And one of the most interesting aspects of the "Star Trek" phenomenon has to be the conventions... with all the Trekkies and Trekkettes and the Trek-kores and... I mean they're truly incredible, and I hope they have a sense of humor about this show tonight or... I'm in deep trouble! Anyway, I thought you might like to see what one of these conventions... MIGHT be like....


[ open on an exterior shot of the "Holiday Inn" with a sign reading "Welcome Trekkers." ]

[ dissolve inside ]

[ A sign on the wall reads "16th Annual Star Trek Convention -- 1986" ]

Ears: Charlie! Check this out!

Charlie: [ wearing "I Grok Spock" t-shirt ] Oh, outstanding, man!

Ears: Original cast photo, right before they added Chekhov!

Charlie: Oh, how much was it?

Ears: Sixty dollars!

Charlie: Ohhh.... They got any left?

Loudspeaker: Attention Trekkers, now available in the Hamilton Room... copies of DeForest Kelley's single record, "He's Dead, Jim." Right now, in the Hamilton Room.

Artie: [ making the Vulcan "peace sign" ] Hey guys!

Charlie & Ears: Hey Artie!

Artie: How you guys doing on the trivia quiz?

Charlie: Aw, since you... hey, you got Khan's middle name?

Artie: [ smugly ] Noonian!

Charlie: Yeoman Rand's cabin number?

Artie: Y3-90!

[ Charlie and Ears snicker knowingly to each other. ]

Artie: What? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

[ more snickers ]

Emcee: Attention! Attention! Hello everybody! Welcome to Day 4 of the 16th Annual Star Trek Convention... Well! ...here in Rye, New York. A few announcements.... Ah... first... ah... a wonderful new... ah... item has just been added to the convention. It's a program from the 1975 convention!

Trekkies: Oooo! Ahhh!

Emcee: Yeah! It's a very special item, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, and it's ONLY... thirty dollars.
Secondly, we have some exciting guests at the convention today, so let me introduce them to you right now. First, we have the lovely actress Julie Cobb. Now you all remember her as Yeoman Leslie Thompson from the first ten minutes of Episode 51, "Errand of Mercy"... in which she was transformed into a cube... and crushed!
And next up is Pamela Denberg Doohan, the ex-wife of course of James "Scotty" Doohan, and ah... I understand life with the Enterprise's Chief Mechanical Officer *was* somewhat turbulent... kinda like living with a MUGATU!

Trekkies: [ geeky laughter ]

Emcee: Yeah! Well you'll all be able to meet Pamela in the Briar Wing where she'll be signing copies of her new book, "Beam Me Out Of Here"!
And finally, the man you've all been waiting for, this is his first Star Trek convention in quite a long time, I know he's thrilled to be here, Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself, WILLIAM SHATNER! [ Shatner walks to the podium. ] Now Bill's here to field a few questions so just fire away!

Trekkies: Mr. Shatner! Mr. Shatner!

William Shatner: Alright, the first question, uh, go ahead!

Charlie: Yeah! Okay, um, when you were gonna beam down to the planet, okay, for the last time in Episode 25? I was wondering, like um, w-w-what was going on with the crew in that particular....

William Shatner: Uh... Episode 25?

Charlie: Yeah!

William Shatner: Um... you gotta give me a PLOT, see, cause it's 20 years and it's a long time... a PLOT... uh....

Charlie: Yeah, Episode 25, that's where you and the crew of the Enterprise get attacked by these spores? And started acting real weird, like hippies and stuff?

William Shatner: [ smiling ] Oh oh, yeah right, I remember, okay uh... what's the question?

Charlie: Well um, I was wondering if you could settle a bet for me and my friends, okay? Um, like, when you... um, left your quarters for the last time? And you opened up your safe? Um... what was the combination?

William Shatner: [ lengthy pause, incredulous expression ] I-I-I don't know! I mean, it's been a long time! I, uh... I don't know that! Uh, okay?

Charlie: [ disappointed ] Okay! Okay!

William Shatner: Anybody? Oh, all right, go ahead! You? Go ahead! You in the funny shirt!

Artie: [ wearing Kirk uniform ] Okay! Another bet... okay... on your horse farm... alright? How many saddle-bred horses do you have?

William Shatner: Uh... 34.

Artie: Wait, wait... is that including the colt that was born earlier this week?

William Shatner: [ stunned pause ] That mare had a foal?

Artie: Tuesday!

William Shatner: Well I... guess it's 35 then!

Artie: ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! [ congratulated by his friends ]

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

Charlie: Are- are you saying then that we should pay more attention to the movies?

William Shatner: NO!!! THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING AT ALL!!! HEY, YOU GUYS ARE... THE LAMEST BUNCH... I'VE NEVER SEEN... [ walks away from podium ] I can't believe these people... I mean, I really can't understand what's....

[ Emcee argues with Shatner off-mike, shoves him, Shatner shoves back harder.... ]

Second Emcee: Uh... that was William Shatner, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, I'd like to remind you Trekkers that we have some fine refreshments from all over the galaxy... Coke, Diet Coke, Bubble Up, Orange, I believe. We....

[ Meanwhile, Emcee waves the contract in front of Shatner, who then reluctantly returns to the podium.... ]

William Shatner: Of course, that speech was a "re-creation" of the "Evil Captain Kirk" from um... Episode, um... [ Emcee whispers ] THIRTY-SEVEN... uhh... called... [ another whisper ] "The Enemy Within."

[ Trekkies get happy, applaud ]

William Shatner: Yuh, Yuh, so thank you... and, and... Live Long and Prosper...

[ Trekkies make Vulcan "peace sign".... ]

William Shatner: So everybody... set your phasers on stun, cause... THIS CONVENTION'S AHEAD WARP FACTOR NINE, Y'KNOW? RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! WARP FACTOR NINE!

[ fade out ]

I thought it was Jimmy Durante, but i seen WC Fields say it in a movie the other day...That is why I was able to recall it!
Otherwise, I woudn't have had a chance of remembering a line like that.

Well, not as bad as I thought it would be.

Am I the only one that's surprised that they only took this out to 5 significant digits after the decimal? :asian:

[Reprobate]

8.6785% - Poser.

Despite the fact that my girlfriend is a true geek and her brothers are like unwashed UberGeeks that could easily check everything in that test.
I still think the percentage is quite high, maybe because I'd boink Jessica Alba, read graphic novels, and visit the library voluntarily. And I wear glasses. Reading glasses. But still, there's lots of people who do so who're not geeks. Right? I have nothing to worry about, do I?

Oh God, I hope I'm not infected. This geekiness is not contagious, is it? I've know my girlfriend for five years and I still haven't watched an entire Star Trek or Babylon Five episode without falling asleep. I know Spock is Leonard Nimoy in the old series, but who plays Spock in the new series? Not that I care, mind you. I have hair on my ears, but they are not pointy. Yet.

[Nightingale]

um... spock isn't in the new series. different casts entirely

[Bob Hubbard]

Spock in the new series is female, and played by a model who has exactly what it takes to play a female vulcan. By that, she looks good in the required catsuit (all alien women wear them, except the martians due to having 3 of everything) and the ability to speak in a total monotone at all times.

Al Gore would have made an excellent Vulcan, except for that logic thing.....:D

I wonder if we could take a number of famous politicians, and ascribe certain characteristics to them, along the lines of "which Star Trek character are you?"
E.g.:
Gore: Vulcan
Bush: Romulan
Blair: Ferengi.
People would have to give their reasons for doing so, but it might be fun. As an exercise in egalitarianism, no politicians would be off-limits, so your personal politics wouldn't matter.
Just a thought...
