Yup.  The fix was in.  All I knows is that there was only one knight on that stage an' he weren't no talk show host or Jedi poser.  But damn, Sir Patrick Stewart has certainly gotten old.

Well yeah.  Er ... except for that whole range thing.  Umm ... and the adjustability deal.  And ... that a phaser can also be a bomb of sorts.  Oh, and you don't have to have some sort of algae or whatever in your blood to operate one.  So yeah, ignoring those four minor advantages, light sabers are certainly better.  ;)

I was on topic, my reply was directed at Qui v Picard.

Darth Maul was a [Edited], before he gets a spin off as a cyborg But as far as Picard is concerned he may want to mind his tone.

The answer is simple, they are not Qui-gon. Slayer of the hairless (with the minor exception of Mr. Maul)

Of course the ones who tried to kill Picard aren't Qui-gon. Qui-gon is dead. He can't try, much less actually, kill anyone.

Looks like you've made friends with our friendly1 neighborhood reporter.

You know who woud really curb-stomp Qui-gon? Dr. Beverly Crusher. She'd just administer some antibiotics to get rid of the bacteria infection Qui-gon has and get rid of his force powers.

Maybe, but if I were a jedi and some lady spraid something at me I'd cut her in half and throw her down one of the many endless holes in the SW galaxy for some reason.

No force powers, but he still has a sword made of pure refined awesomeanium.

You shut your mouth! He is the animus of Liam Neeson, and he has a very special set of skills for dealinh with the likes of OTTers. As to activating his saber, I'm not sure if he needs them or not.


@Res_Man, he could totally deflect it with his lightsaber.

You know why Liam Neeson took the role?  Cuz he couldn't get a Star Trek gig.  Not cool enough.

@ZB: So Jedis are people with magical AIDS?



Yeah.  That's why I kinda feel sorry for 'em.  Their 'powers' are manifestations of a disgusting infection.  I imagine it's tough to get laid as a Jedi.  Every chick around knows you're full of bacteria.  And it really, really negatively impacts your fashion sense and hair style choice.  Like, epically.  Poor Jedi.  So sick.  And the worst part?  The wretched infecting agent controls their minds.  Makes 'em think that living as a Jedi is good for them when, in reality, it's just a mechanism to keep the virus or whatever alive.  Kind of like those fungi and bugs an' stuff that can zombify ants.  Jedi's brains are totally taken over by the disease and they ... they aren't people anymore.  And then the powers that be in the galaxy abuse this insane devotion by pretending to respect the Jedi in order to get them to do their bidding.  It's really sad.

That's the problem.  It's a disease, man.  You can't control it.  Once infected you have no choice but to follow the Jedi way.  And the worst part?  It'll make you think you like it.

There is bacteria in yogurt.
If the replicator on the Enterprise "makes" things, how can it "make" yogurt without also "making"  life, aka bacteria? And if the replicator can make life, why not replicate a clone army of Klingons?

Interesting.  It also means that they could - if they were stupid enough - likely replicate midichlorians so that they could create their own Jedi.  But, like I said, they're too smart to subject their people to slavery to a microorganism.  That's just lame and Star Trek is anything but.
