I think V was trying to be clever by making someone explain the prior quote and thus ruin it
I was going to make this a post about how I wasn't expecting him to be that clever and perhaps my meaning is that he is dumb but I don't think I know the guy well enough to be throwing around jokes like that
No it's thoroughly encouraged to be mean to V. Knock yourself out

Enterprise isn't as awful as people make it out to be. I honestly think if they hadn't had such teeth-clenchingly saccharine opening credits it would've been more successful.
All that being said though, I was surprised at how well they handled the Klingon forehead ridges thing in Enterprise, even if they really shouldn't have even done it in the first place.
Was that the thing with the virus?
Klingons have ridges because of a virus? I thought it was just their thing.
in the last star wars book I borrowed from my sister (who bought them religiously)
I remember there being a guy they found floating in a tank
who was injected with craploads of midichlorians
and had lightsabers implanted in his wrists, elbows and knees

"that's it," I thought, "I'm done with this"
They've done two zombie books now. Two.

In TOS, Klingons don't have ridges. They explain the disparity by saying there was a virus that broke out and yadayadayada eventually the non-ridged Klingons died out.

The new movie is, at the very least, entertaining. Its fast-paced, got some cool lasers and explosions and spaceships. I went and didn't expect very much, but I thought they did a pretty good job with it.
Much like every Star trek movie, it is absolutely nothing like the show. But really you should just expect that by now.
In the NG or one of the movies didn't someone go "hey why you got ridges anyway?"
And worf was like "Shut the fuck up, man"
In the DS9 Trouble with Tribbles episode they wind up back in time and O'Brien is confused by the un-ridged Klingons aboard a space station. Worf responds to his inquiry with a terse "We don't like to talk about it" response.
Borg were pretty interesting before they added the Queen or whatever she was called.
Yeah, the concept of a hive mind is actually a much more interesting (SF) story than the boring old "queen and drones" stuff
We all know bees! Who cares about bees. I want borg, not bees!
Edit: The Borg were so god damn ruined, it's crazy. It went so much in the wrong direction, that, should anyone ever go in the RIGHT direction, everything would probably seem new and fresh

Huh! Well I never knew!
In TOS, Klingons had no ridges. In the movies and TNG forward, they did. The real explanation is "hey, makeup budget".
The explanation that Worf gives in an episode of DS9 where they time travel back to Kirk's ship is "We don't talk about it with outsiders."
The explanation that was given in Enterprise is Klingons started fucking around with genetic engineering because they were afraid of humans doing it (because of an earlier episode that focused around the genetic engineer who basically caused the whole Eugenics Wars thing, and was also the great-grandfather of the guy who built Data) and they messed it up, so a genetic plague spread through the Klingon empire. The doctor on Enterprise was able to help fix it, using some of Captain Archer's DNA, but it removed their ridges.
I've got to admit that I didn't watch Enterprise at all. I just know that one you mentioned because it was in the Borg dvd pack that I got because it had all of the good Borg episodes too.
I could never get into DS9 or Enterprise.
Should I try to remedy this?

DS9 is pretty great. It drags for the first couple of seasons, but really picks up later. I wasn't able to watch it when it originally aired because of this.

Funny thing, enterprise started to get really interesting at the end, and the latter episodes (minus the last one with troy and riker, which was abysmal as fuck) were pretty cool. I particularly liked.. this one, and this one, IIRC, though I don't remember WHY I liked the wild west one...
And I'm glad the new Star Trek movie was good, I was really going to stop watching anything related to Star Trek after how much Nemesis sucked ass, which is pretty sad considering I loved it since I was a little kid

yeah
out

out
There are like 5 good episodes and thats basically all it has to offer.
And worf was like "Shut the fuck up, man"
Finally finally finally, I said this in a different thread and got murdered. Nice to know I'm not the only one around here with reasonable opinions.

but I really enjoy the new Star Trek film. It vastly exceeded my expectations.

what article, what show?
Oh jesus, the movie? The movie was awesome, you guys are horrible.

edit: Wow, thanks Geek!
go back and watch TOS. The movies are better because the budget means for some decent sets but overall, it is just god awful.
As is Season 1 of TNG. Season 2 of TNG is where everyone new to star trek should start.
I could never get into DS9 or Enterprise.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW, MISTER
I have recently rewatched all of TOS, and I have season 1 of TNG next to me on DVD
And I still like those a bajillion times more then that awful film
You should come round to my house. I have all the DVDs
I sure know how to woo the ladies...8-)

You can skip Enterprise.
That was the best episode.
I am thinking about that movie right now and I just want to watch it again.
