LOL. They so needed an R&R episode with that.
Although, did Orion ever actually join the Federation? That probably would have put a stop to the import and export of Orion Slave Girls, which, would be a shame, if not, in my opinion an outright breach of the moral spirit of the Prime Directive. 'course we've long seen that the true prime directive is, "Don't mess with indigenous cultures, unless they're doing something we consider icky, then phaser the lot of them."

You know Riker is always hinting to Picard.... "Hey, we should go to Orion... I think there might be like, diplomatic trouble or something."
"Nice try Number One."

Of course, we're all wandering a bit far from the *true* worth of Star Trek, even though Tony included it in this strip.
Green-skinned Orion Slave Girls.
I, personally, vote for the inclusion of them more often, not just here, or just in web comics, but really, anywhere where they could be squeezed in.

absolutely. brent spiner is an amazing actor...his ability to be so conscious of what he's doing, and to never miss a thing. and his ability to jump from character to character so convincingly. he's incredible. he made an android lovable. yeah, data's definitely my favorite.

Hey now, Barcley could think rings around Wesley Cruncher baby Timelord in Training.
But yah, Data. I think a lot of that had to do with Brent Spinner. Once they realized the caliber of actor they had going for them with him they put a lot more effort into expanding Data's role and character.

Ensign Ro was really hot in Homicide, but then I bet Richard Belzer was hitting it by then.
The telepaths of Babylon 5 always appealed more to me than Trek ladies, except for Jadzia Dax.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Picard as a character, and he made a convincing captain of a non-exploratory science and ambassadorial vessel. I just like my captains a little more fired up and pushing the envelopes of known space. Picard always struck me as happier pushing the envelop of an RSVP dinner invite. Like the Frasier of starship captains.
As for Riker...if he'd kept his transporter double around, I don't think it would have been for anything that involved a third person, if ya know what I mean. A little too fond of the mirror, and that whole klingon food/warrior code fascination of his always seemed a little forced, like he was covering for something. All that stuff about his father pushing him to be a manly man, I think Riker would have been happier on the Pretty Pretty Princess side of the Force, y'know.

he totally had it on the side. a captain has to maintain a certain professionalism, y'know. not like commander riker...the quintessential manwhore. even you could take a few pointers from him, tony. though i think he should've totally kept his transporter double around for some hot double-team action.

Picard could have cleaned galactic house when it comes to space-pussy. He could have had girls from far point station to the rings of antaries. He was quite reserved, or he just had it on the side.

Oh, the cardassian tailor/spy/assasin guy? He was definitely a great character. Very subtly done, both scripting and acting wise. And I loved Cisco towards the end, though it did make me question how someone with that much drive and passion got stuck with a station command. Saw one of my favorite episodes on TV a few weeks ago, the one where the DS9 crew plays holodeck baseball versus the vulcan team. Cisco made for a great Ahab sort of character, with his burning, almost uncontrollable drive. Picard was always too laid back and sedate even at his most emotional for me. Archer is a little too much like a realistic version of Kirk for my liking so far, and Kirk was only truly great in the novels and stories, where they had the chance to explore the nature of why Kirk was such an ass-kicker. Namely, that he was, by mere chance of inter-breeding, the equivilant of Khan who was the result of the Euginics experiments to create the ideal man. (Perhaps it is simply that, much as I like Kirk, it is hard to imagine Shatner as 'the ideal man'.) I recall a story from one of the Best of Trek books that involved Kirk getting the snot beat out of him by some primal Ape guy thingie. Afterwards the thing patches him up and tells him he is a true man after all. Kirk asks, "Why? You defeated me utterly. I cried, I screamed. etc." and the thing replies "Yes, but not once did you beg."
*ahem* Sorry, enough geekery out of me, I'll shut up now.

DS9 got really good near the end. Characters became less one-dimensional. Quark got a heart. Cisco got (bigger) balls. Kira befriended cardasians. And that tailor guy, brilliant acting and writing for his charactor.

DS9 was actually very good. I like the fact that it managed to be internally cohesive, yet still mostly episodic. Cisco was one of the only captain's I've ever particularly liked, though Archer is coming pretty close. I definitely like the fact that Archer makes mistakes, bad choices, and generally is an asshole on occasion, but I wish he had a little more character depth like Cisco had. However, DS9 had a lot more room to explore character depth, since, well...they weren't exactly going anywhere.

Chief O'Brien got better after DS9 started. But then, so did a lot of things. Sometimes I REALLY wished that DS9 had turned into a porno.
Hot... alien... women...

Heh. See, now I'm picturing Spock singing "Rock the Projects". Which just becomes more easily imaginable and funny if one has seen the clip of Leonard Nimoy singing "Bilbo Baggins". O'Brien is an inspired choice though. I don't know if it's because he was always so one-dimensional, but seeing him so out of character is just absolutely giggle-worthy.
