Did anyone ever notice that Chief O'brien in DS9 was like the only enlisted man in the entire Star Trek universe of note. I mean everyone else was a commissioned officer.
Must have sucked to be the lowest ranked military man in the known universe.
For christ sakes he had to salute Wesley Crusher.

The poor b------ operated transporters for 22 years!!! He stood in a little room and pushed 3 sliders up and down for over two decades! At least on DS9 he was basically treated as chief engineer and was buddies with everybody and they gave him a lot of leway in taking command. Better than Ensign for 10 years Kim.

That's too bad because basically from the end of season 2 to the end of the show, it became an entirely different beast as the situation just grew darker and darker and epic story arc.

And was I the only one who found it irritating/distracting that the clip went back and forth between the old uniforms with no collar and the new uniforms with collars? I couldn't get over that. Oh and it just wasn't funny.

See.. you're just stupid.

It did. Except the times that it did, it was illegal. Cloaking was made illegal by peace treaty with the Romulans.

The federation signed a treaty with the Romulons and Klingon's that they wouldn't mount cloaking devices on their star ships. This was over turned during the Dominion war when the Romulans gave a cloaking device to the Federation to mount of the Defiant.
God somebody stop me.

The Force wouldn't work in our Galaxy? Says who?
Maybe no new Force sensatives would be discovered in that galaxy, but existing Jedi would not suddenly rid their bodies of them or have their connection with the Force severed.
Plop a jedi onto each space dock and Utopia Planitia and good bye federation.

George Lucas thanks to that idiotic midichlorian thing. Took all the mystique out of the force... so lame.
Its kind of like that episode of TOS where Kirk and Spock got what is essentially "the force" from ingesting food and drink and fought those other "force powered people" on that Greek gods planet. As soon as they left, their powers left.
You know, if the Sith were so powerful, how did the Alliance survive for 20+ years without a Jedi in their corner. The way some Wars defenders talk, you'd think Vader would have choked every single one of them out, with Palpatine zapping all the dissenters in the Senate instantly. Only the novels got into Jedi superskills like moving planets and the kind of fanwank stuff the Jedi/Sith would have to be capable of to make them a serious advantage against the Federation.
Of course, if the Jedi were so super powerful, how'd the majority get wiped out by some weak ass storm troopers.
Beam a couple Jedi into Spacedock, and they'd screw the place up a lot... but they'd never make it out alive.
Of course, that's assuming the Republic/Alliance would fight the Federation. Odds are they'd team up, with the Jedi negating the Sith advantage, and Federation starships holding the advantage in shielding, FTL combat and weapons technology.

Course they would. Lightsabres'd fend off any pesky energy weapons.
Hell they could just use the old jedi handswipe and tell them "the intruders are on level 4" voila. Sabotage and escape.
The Jedi were wiped out by an equally powerful Sith force user and of course not all of them were.
Sith would simply send a delegation to the Borg, and we all know how that would work out for the Federation.
"give me your technologies and specs for all weapons and attack that Federation fleet" "here are the data transfers, resistance is futile..."

You know how sometimes you do something really dumb, and then 2 seconds after you do it, you wonder how the "you" of 2 seconds ago could be that clueless? Like some kind of filter in your brain went on a union break and came back just in time to watch it all come to an awful fubared disaster? That's what happened to me just now when I clicked on this thread...
Besides, anyone with any sense knows that in the end, Ewoks rule the galaxy.

You couldn't be more wrong on all counts.
The Tribbles one is debatable.
