And another point on Nemesis, that bugs me:

Ok, Picard suprises Shinzon with the ramming, BUT how could he know, how strong the unique Scimitar would be and if the Enterprise E's saucer section would survive the impact??

 

[LizzieMaine]

I always figured Picard assumed it would because of his past experience ramming saucer sections into uninhabited planets. "Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards -- The Quality Goes In Before the Name Goes On!"

Now, I liked to count the quantum-torpedos.

So, eight hit the scimitar directly, one a graze shot!

Respect! The Scimitar's shields, armor and electrical system must be from another dimension!

Meh. It's science fiction - the technologies of the various species and abilities of the characters are only as good or bad as they have to be at that moment in order to tell the story they want to tell.

You didn't see my twinkle smileys, right?

One of the big questions of First Contact came back to my mind!

If the Borg really started an invasion of the Federation, why would they send only one cubus?

arrogance. they believe themselves superior and invincible

 

[scottyrocks]

I don't know that I would describe it as arrogance. I would think that their calculative collective mind would have analyzed that one cube was all that was needed.

Have you ever noticed, during the opening of TNG, they begin at Earth, and then pass Mars , Jupiter, and Saturn, but never reach Uranus?

What's wrong with Uranus?

This may be the first time I've ever done a double take on this site.

 

[Tiki Tom]

The jokes about “Klingons around Uranus” got so out of hand that the Klingon Ambassador made a formal complaint. As a result, Starfleet Academy has banned all first year cadets from making reference to “Uranus.” It can be found under “building a diverse and supportive intergalactic community” in your Welcome Packet.

Do you never pronounce it U-RAA-NUSS in the US?

No, it's much more fun the other way.

I need to see an accent mark to know how funny that should be.
