The original Star Trek ruled. Kirk would wail on Picard *snort*. Jean Luc would be sippin Earl Grey and quoting Wittgenstein while Kirk would be kicking Klingon butt and getting the girl afterwards - even if she was green and had three eyes.

Kirk was the James Bond/Clint Eastwood of uncharted interstellar badlands. Picard was the Boutros Boutros Galli of a civilized, diplomatic outpost of the UN.

And don't get me started on Spock versus "Data" (guffaw). And Scotty versus Jordy is like Florida State versus Galludet with no refs. And I openly scoff at the notion of a stinkin' Klingon in posession of the Enterprise's override codes.

Oh, come on! Kirk was a dork to the Nth degree! Comparing Kirk to Eastwood is like comparing Data to Spock. I agree that Spock was a zillion times cooler than Data ever dreamed of being in his wildest micro chip, but Kirk? Hello? You can have him, Wolf. He's all yours, but I bet you get bored to tears with him after 30 seconds alone in the same room with him. Fine, you both know how to shoot a gun, but there's more to a man than wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

I see that Honor Harrington is under the tutilage of a descendent of T'Pau, Queen of the Universe, as is only fitting. We approve

Erm...what? I was unaware there were any non-human humanoids in the Honorverse.

In the picture posted here, Officer Harrington appears to be respectfully accompanying a feline subject who radiates great powers. (Of course, this may be artistic license on the part of the illustrator?) T'Pau, Queen of the Universe, nevertheless claims no kinship with "Cat" of Red Dwarf.

Which picture? Not that I do not accept T'pau's Rule, having seen her picture elsewhere.

That's Nimitz, a treecat from Honor's native planet, Sphinx. Nimitz is her friend and familiar...Honor has padding tailored into the shoulder of her uniform so Nimitz can hang on without doing (much) damage to Honor's shoulder. The treecat race and their relationship with Sphinxians and others is a semi-major story arc in the series.

Nimitz and Honor have saved each other's lives on several occasions. To tell much more would be spoilers. Nimitz has his own spacesuit, which is a good thing because he's had to abandon a crippled man o' war along with Honor on at least one occassion.

This being originally a Trekish thread, I took "T'Pau" to be a reference to this T'Pau. Didn't know about any feline connection there.

Correct reference, wrong life form T'Pau, Queen of the Universe, got her name right after adopting me because of her amazingly huge ears, topped by one-inch lynx tufts. (There were only 3 possible Vulcan female names to my knowledge and this one received Her approval.) It's not easy living with a Queen of the Universe. SWMBO is not the half of it. And it was really hard to memorize all those prayers.

Bones was a much better doctor, though, even if he wasn't a bricklayer.

Brethren and cistern

This cistern is better than the old one, it can hold more water, it fills and drains faster and volume can be measured in both metric and standard.

I'd have thought they had developed more advanced diagnostic technology in the 23rd century, but hey...
