Blog #33: Top 10 Best Trek Scenes, Part III


Hello friend and welcome back to the Trek1701 blog. for the next 5 blog entries I will be discussing my favourite Trek scenes, arranged in a Top 10 format.  Each entry will feature 2 scenes, counting down to my favourite Trek moment. I have included scenes from the movies and the television series. Here we go:
 
 
#6- TNG: "There are Four lights"!/ Jellico making enemies
Picard is replaced as Captain of the Enterprise by Captain Edward Jellico, and Picard is captured while on a secret mission for starfleet into Cardassian space. Picard is tortured by Gul Madred while back on Enterprise Jellico is pissing everyone off who crosses his path. Patrick Stewart gives perhaps his best performance as he plays a man who is both mentally and physically tortured. "There are Four lights" is perhaps one of the most famous Picard lines to be recited by fans. It was hard to see Picard beaten down the way he was but it made for great drama and a great performance by Stewart. Meanwhile Ronny Cox as 'Jellico' did a great job stirring up the status quo on the Enterprise. The heated exchanges between Jellico and Riker were very cool with both Cox and Frakes giving great performances.



 
#5- Star Trek III: Stealing the Enterprise/ Kirks revenge for death of son
How cool was it to see the old boys working together to steal the Enterprise and rescue Spock. The scene where they actually steal the ship out of space dock is absolutely awesome. Then later in the film Kirk is fighting the man who ordered the death of his son, Kruge, played wonderfully by Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future). Do you realize that this is the only original series film where Kirk actually physically fights the bad guy. Picard fought the villain in every TNG film, but Kirk only ever fought Kruge. Kinda weird considering Kirk was the fighter and Picard was the diplomat. Despite the fact that Kruge was trying to kill him Kirk tries to save him, before kicking him to his certain death. Freakin awesome!


 
More next week! TTYL

Changing uniforms: Regular Trek stars who changed the color of their regular uniform and why.   - Spock in the 'Shatner' pilot had a yellow uniform before changing to the iconic blue.   - Sulu in the mirror universe wears red: did that mean they were gonna kill him??   - Chief O'Brien had a red uniform in the TNG pilot.   - Geordi and Worf switched uniform in the TNG second season when they changed ship jobs. But was Worf gonna be killed off in season 1 had Tasha not been killed as rumoured??

Blog #26: My New Trek Series Premise, Pt III

As I write this it is my hope someone involved in the creation of the new Trek series will read this idea and (hopefully) use it. My idea for a new series is this:   Star Trek: Light In Darkness   Section 32 on board the USS Yorktown travels the known Galaxy in secret undertaking missions needed for the protection of the Federation and it's allies. This will see the Yorktown travel everywhere from inside the former  Romulan  Empire, to the Klingon Empire, all the way to Deep Space 9 where it will travel to the Gamma  Quadrant  to determine if there is a Dominion conspiracy to destroy the Federation. Aside from  DS 9 we could possibly see Captain  Riker  and the USS Titan make an  appearance , as well as other guest stars from  TNG ,  DS 9 and Voyager.   I want to call it 'Light In Darkness' as this is a dark time for the Federation as the galaxy seems to be in turmoil. Also I wanted to get away from calling the series after the vehicle from which it takes p
