They have some obscure people in that pic. I do like Rom standing right in the middle.

2 new books out, that are must read's for Trek fans. It is full of the complete behind the scenes on Star Trek from the people who made it. Many shocking things I have never heard and it gives a real look how TV and movies are really made. Pretty honest comments from cast and crew. I cant put it down.

Can you give a few examples?

Last chapter I read they were explaining how they knew they had a rat leaking info to the press during the making of TWOK, so out of the 15 drafts given out, they each had one typo built in. Turns out It was Roddenberry who was leaking spoilers to the press, because he was upset about them not listening to his feedback.

It basically goes through every episode and movie and gives everyones perspective. So you will get the producers writers, actors, studio people, and Gene's point of view, so you see all the drama that goes on to make a show. Ton's of cool n ew trek info, but its a great book into how Hollywood really works.

Star Trek owes me one for Enterprise.
I think the new series should start after Voyager.

It doesn't, though...

The thing about Enterprise is that the final season was what we all wanted and expected it to be from the start.

That's what's so frustrating about it, if the first season had been like the fourth and kept going from there, there's no doubt in my mind that the show would've made it all the way to the Earth-Romulan War.

Question about this..... the Ferengi offers the Cardassian a drink and says it's "on the house." I thought all things were free in the Federation? Are they not on a Federation ship? Do Ferengi rules apply aboard a Federation ship?

They are on DS9 which is owned by Bajor, but protected by the Federation. It's an open port, and has many businesses.

I see. Is Bajor the Ferengi planet?

No Bajor is the Bajoran planet. The Cardassians occupied Bajor for over 100 years, and they built DS9 as a ore processing facility and used Bajoran slave labor. Bajor won its freedom, and took control of DS9, and asked for Federation help. Bajor at the start of DS9 is applying for Federation membership, but the process can take years to approve, so it asked to be a Federation protectorate while it applies.

The Ferengi's are separate from the Federation. Quark opened his bar on DS9 under Cardassian rule, but has stayed through the change of ownership. They are independent and only take sides if there profit in it for them.

It's still awkwardly silent. My guess is that we will get more info on October 31st. You know - 1031.

@Adamant , you really should watch ds9 if you haven't yet. It's the most serialized, gritty, morally grey and has the best action sequences out of the 4 show.

enterprise was doomed from the get go just from its opening music sequence.

This been watching DS9 after skipping it - really excellent show so far IMO halfway through season 3. Some dud episodes but I've been enjoying it.

Been reading through thsi thread and am thinking of watching Enterprise, the only one I've not watched.

I still enjoy going back and re-watching some of the Dominion War episodes of DS9.

Lita is way underrated btw.

If you are enjoying it now already, you are gonna love it later.

Enterprise is better than I remembered it, even though parts of the Xindi storyline felt wrong to me at the time.
