I really enjoyed the wing commander books, except for the one based on the movie that was crap.
Just the other day I had the age old debate about who the better captain was in star trek, and it broke down into a drunken debate on all the Captain's being on the bridge at the same time.
Kirk - "Ok, we'll fake a self destruct command, and then fire all of the phasers and photon torpedo's. Kill em all and let god sort em out later.
Picard - "Diplomacy is the way, let me talk to them . .. "
Janeway - "Screw that, we're going to negatively polarize the deflector array, while shunting warp plasma through the swarp nacelles. This would make a brilliant blue haze of inverse tachyons which will make the enemy thing that we're a cloud."
Sisko - "Let me get back to you after I consult every member of my crew including ensign Ricky"
Archer - "I'll be there in 20 days, because my ship is woeful, dosen't have shields and can only reach warp 5"
Kirk (shoots Archer with a phaser) - "Danger is our business gentleman."

Another way to tell if your a geek is to pick apart Janeway's comment and go that could never happen because.....
I know people that do this.....not me I swear.
