They held together pretty well. I used to smash them together to make super ships.

I did this ALL THE TIME. As I recall, Miranda's nacelles perfectly fit into the Maquis fighters'.

The Stargazer model from Picard's ready room. Yeah a model based on a model.

I'm now imagining an alternate timeline in which all Federation ships are a sickly yellow.

By the way, I have a query for the thread: Is Data golden?

Data is golden. If you compare him to the white painted Borg in Q Who there is definitely a golden color to him. There were some creepy makeup tests for all sorts of colors done.

The funniest thing about Data's potential coloring is that Brent Spiner has gone on record as feeling very lucky that the gold makeup was the first one they showed to Gene, and not the bubblegum pink makeup, because Gene just walked in and said "Yup, that looks good!"

Unrelated, but I wish they had gone with the "unknown aliens made Data to study humanity" thing. Not sure why, but it seems like it would have been more interesting.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Data has some hue to him, but saying he's golden leads one to picture C3PO or something.

I mean, they are pretty much the same, only Threepio has emotions. Panic, panicker, and panickest.

Data has always had emotions too, though: 1) childlike wonder 2)happiness at being accepted as almost human and 3) sad that he does not have emotions.

I can't remember the episode but I did like when he pointed out that despite not having emotions he could still miss people because he expected their input. :3:

My favorite Futurama moment is probably Zoidberg's monologue at the end of the Valentine's Day episode. But :zoid: is, by overwhelming degrees, the best character on the show, so that's easy.

Non-Zoidberg, I think the "Sexlexia" exchange is loving incredible comedy.

But it taught me so much. Like how you should accept people, whether they be Jamaican, mutant, robot, or even female. But most importantly, when I didn't have any friends, it made me feel like maybe I did.

Anyway, I've just gotten to season 3 (I'm two episodes in), where people assert that Enterprise starts getting good, but so far, it just seems like they've amped up the worst parts of the show (Tucker's reactionary outbursts, T'Pol as a sex object, etc.), lost the sappy, escapist innocence that made the show bearable, and somehow managed to make the theme song even more dreadful. Hopefully it gets better, because I actually enjoyed the first two seasons much more!

It's honestly hard to tell which of these things would make you want to punch a person in the face more: Colin Baker's horrible crime coat, Jake Sisko's horrible crime bus seat jumpsuit or just a t-shirt that says "I love Star Trek/Doctor Who."

He already has in the Doctor Who thread. It's real. Be gentle, he spent a lot of money on it.

For reference, I think somebody could pull off the Sisko busseats jumpsuit at a club if they really had some kind of a cult of personality, but I think they'd still have trouble pulling off The Coat.
