I’ve had to swear off hardbacks for economic reasons, Steve! I think the last one I bought was Iron Man: Extremis, purely for Adi Granov’s beautiful artwork. On a vaguely related note, there’s an Iron Man vs Whiplash four-parter coming out now that’s scripted by Marc Guggenheim and Brannon Braga. Yes, THAT Brannon Braga. Not sure I’d want that in any format…

Thanks for the nod about the “Trials and Tribbleations” episode being included on the TOS Blu-ray – I’ve never gone as far as buying any of DS9 on DVD, and that’d definitely be a nice bonus to have.

Hey Big D!

Long time no see. I just thought I’d everyone else know that you can get a very handsome hardbound versoin of the prequel on Amazon.com for a decent price if you didn’t get the deluxe set. Just search for “Star Trek Countdown” and it will come up.

On a semi-related note, the Blu-ray version of TOS Remastered Season 2 also has the fantastic “Trials and Tribbleations” DS9 episode (remastered in HD) as well. I’m going to check that out tomorrow after I get home from work.

Hope everyone’s doing well.

Cheers,

~Doc

Steve, a friend of mine got it a few days ago. Some decent “making of” features (I had to resist watching everything till I get my own copy), and the full deleted Rura Penthe scene. The latter’s not bad, and although I’d have liked any kind of Nero material in the final version, ultimately you can see why it was cut. Comparatively short though it is, the pace of it’s a little uneven.

The four-issue comic prequel is included as well, which saves me having to hunt it down.

@Fury … I’ve run out of “easy” quotes.
@Kahless. Nope, but it is a first-season episode!

PS: Did anyone get the blu-ray today?

Oh yeah, the Sona was from Trek:Insurrection!

@Doc
My first thought was McCoy in Mudd’s Women but I only remember him saying that his indicators went blip, so I’m probably wrong.

Nice work keeping the thread and game going boys and girls.

And Doc your quotes are crazy hard my man. Only from TOS? And you pulled a Dr. Crater one? Wow . . .

@790 – his quote was from Admiral Janeway in Star Trek:Nemesis.

As far as the Doc’s recent quote – I think it’s Scotty down in engineering.

Nope. Nice try, Johnny.

@ Ingenue: Like Kahless said, you go, girl! So glad to hear you're learning a musical instrument instead of just listening to an I-Pod like most young people do nowadays! That music does sound interesting! @ Doc: I think that was Sulu at the end of the episode The Naked Time, when the chronometers started rolling backwards, because Enterprise was warping back three days in time. ~Johnny

@Ingénue,

Cnogratulations. I particularly love the music from Star Trek II.

@ Quote People:

“This indicator’s gone crazy.” (TOS of course)

You go girl!

@Doc
You are correct sir. You’re up.

My friend got this movie scores piano music book and it has The Motion Picture, Wrath of Kahn and Search for Spock themes in it (excited!) I borrowed it off her yesterday and can now play The Motion Picture theme, yay. AND for Christmas she is buying me some book that has the piano music for like all the movies and series or something. I’m soooo excited! XD

I appreciate the clarification, Johnny… but the Klingon hasn’t granted his stamp of approval, yet.

@ Doc: Yeah, I think that was after Spock’s retelling what he learned from the Horta mind-meld, and Bones said something that would have been a compliment to a Human, and Spock got indignant – a perfect example of Vulcan humor, lol!

I don’t want any credit at all fof that, just clarifying for your sake, y’know?

I believe at the end of Devil in the Dark.

@ Doc & kahless:

WHEW! Glad that’s over, hahahaha!

I think it was Spock, too, but I can’t be sure what episode…

You are correct, Doc. Forgot to put TOS at the end. And the name of the episode he said this?

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:47:53 +0000

What series?

Spock says, “I see no reason to stand here and be insulted” in an episode, but if it’s from a different series, then I would obviously be mistaken in guessing.

John "Kahless" Taylor — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:41:31 +0000

@Doc
You know, when you said it was from the first season, my first thought was Mantrap but discarded it. “Always go with your first thought”; don’t they always tell you that?

“I will not stand here and be insulted”

Kahless,
Na (sodium) + Cl (chloride) = table salt.

It’s actually Crater to Kirk, but that’s close enough. Finally, I can say “you’re up!”
