Sorry mate, got confused...............again.

I thought the one where the three old blokes went after the Albino was a TNG episode.

Is Kor (the one played by Colicos) also the name of the Klingon played by Colicos that was Kirks 'nemisis'?
I know one of the old blokes was supposed to be that particular bloke.

(I could look it up, but it's quicker to ask you............lol )

Sorry Brensec, Didn't mean to repeat you. Great minds think alike and all that......

in reality the galaxy class ship is the most powerful ship of all the major races, it has been said that going on specs alone it could easaly take on 3 romulan D-deridex warbirds, while sustaining heavy damage it would still win, it can take on two K'Tinga class warships from the klingons, and two warships from the dominion(sp?) how ever had the writers really written storylines to its specs there wouldnt be much in the way of an hour long episode:) the early galaxy class vessels, were fitted with 11 type 9 phasers and 4 photon torpedo tubes, once they were upgraded the were given new shields, and 12 type 11 phasers, two photon two quantum tubes, or 4 photon or 4 quantum tubes, making it very powerful,
the real ability of the galaxy class was shown in the dominion war where all avaliable vessels were upgraded to battleships from science, some were given two extra torpedo tubes with quick reload for 6 quantum torpedos, and also 14 type 12 phasers,
this variation has been said to be the only starship other than the soverign class, who could take on a borg cube. its only weak point is its manuverability and its warp speed being 9.7, where as soverign is again 9.98 i believe. thus the reason it was made flagship and given to picard under the name enterprise.
sorry that may have been a little boring, i will look out some indepth specs to those who want them:)

Err... Galaxy class a good battle machine with those horrilbly slow moving gun control things which have to move in position from the front before it can fire? i dop't think so.
And the joint between the fuselage and the top disc is an easy target (or are those yellow cardassian phasers so much stronger)

The worst continuity errors can be found in DS9... especially the top turret if the Defiant (which is actually Defiant-B (NX number) and Defiant-C(2nd ship) because there was one 'Defiant' somewhere in the first star-trek series) which sometimes works but seems to fail (or is deactivated) when it's needed the most

there is no moving of any sort of in the galaxy class weapons, they have pleanty of phaser banks positioned both above and below the ship, agreed the top phaser is pretty vunerable. but the shielding there is heaviest as the bridge is also located in the area as for cardassian weapons being more powerful, not really
i will get a full spec list for the galaxy class vessel.
the only vessel i can think with moving weapons is archers enterprise the NX01.

Uhmmmm . . . what turret?

[HawkerTempest5]

There are loads of little errors like these troughout Trek. Off the top of my head, in the TNG episode "Darmok" the Enterprise fires it's main phasers from the forward photon torpedo launcher. In the latest film "Nemesis" the new Enterprise seems to have lost it's Quantum torpedos and reverted to photon torpedos.
At the end of the day, if the show is good, are we really bothered where the main phaser bank is?

Don't be silly mate. I was only joking.............

Another prime example of this is from the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" from the original series.  In this episode (actually the first produced after the pilot-but not aired first  ;)) Captain Kirk's grave is shown and it has the name James R. Kirk...not James T. Kirk.

[Professor Brensec]

I think (may be wrong) that Ivan is talking about how, when the Enterprise fires phasers, there seems to be a 'circling motion' of the energy aorund the 'disk' to the point where they fire from.  ;D

Is this right Ivan?  ;D

[RichieB16]

Thats what they were talking about but then someone brought up the little errors and such in the series.  So, I gave an example as well.
