This was the best one...
New Series Announced: Klingon Eye for the Human Guy
Five Klingon men, out to make over the world — one p'tak at a time.
They are the va'B Five: an elite team of Klingons dedicated to extolling the simple virtues of honor, tradition and style.
Each week their mission is to transform an honor-deficient and culture-deprived human from weakling to warrior in each of their respective categories: fashion, cuisine, grooming, ritual and honorable living.
It's a full lifestyle make-over where human guys turn in their briefcases for bat'leths, learn about bloodwine that comes in a vat, not a bottle, and come to understand why music is its most passionate at its most discordant. When the journey is done, a freshly tempered, newly enlightened, battle-ready warrior emerges.
Coming soon to QAPLA' TV!

I think there's more talk of Star Trek in the Guardians' forum than here.

About 200 posts worth in the last 30 minutes.

Well, actually, that was probably 100 posts ago.

Tonight's Star Trek episode is "Balance of Error"
The Starship Enterprise was on yet another routine border patroll deep in uncharted space. (For those of you who missed it, read that line again )
Bridge ot the Enterprise:
Spock: Captain, sensors are picking up an unidentified alien vessel.
Kirk: If it's unidentified, how do you know it's "alien?"
Spock just arched an eyebrow and looked at his captain.
Kirk: Right. Checkov, plot an intercept course.
Checkov: Aye, sir.
Kirk: Spock, anything, yet?
Spock: Range is too great for specifics, but the power curve suggests a fuel-injected, blueprinted V-8 with super-turbocharger and tubular headers.
Kirk: Meaning they're as fast as we are.
Spock: Correct.
Sulu: Range fifty thousand kilometers and closing, captain.
Kirk: Uhura, open hailing frequencies. Tell them we come in peace and ask to speak with whoever is in charge of the vessel. Mr. Sulu. Raise shields. Target Phasers and fire.
Uhura: Aye sir, opening hailing frequencies. (She muttered under her breath: " I just wish I could say something ELSE once in awhile!")
Sulu: Aye, sir. Firing phasers.
Exterior Space:
Two bright blue phaser beams (on slightly divergent trajectories, one nearly straight ahead, the other slighty off to starboard) streaked from the forward phaser banks. (The exact same phaser banks that were firing red beams in last week's episode.) The two phaser beams CONVERGED on the exact same spot of the alien ship's hull, resulting in a small explosion and some debris.
Back on the bridge:
Sulu: Hit!
Spock: Moderate damge to the alien's hull. They have raised shields and are charging weapons.
Checkov: Incoming!
Uhura: I have the alien captain on line one sir.
The Enterprise lurched from the alien ship's fire.
Kirk: Never mind. They're obviously hostile. Load all photon tubes and go to continuous fire on the phasers.
Sulu: Aye, captain.
The alien ship scored another hit, rattling the crew around abit.
Kirk: Status?
Spock: Shields down 15%. Minor hull damage on decks 4 and 6:
Kirk pondered how a single beam could damage decks 4 and 6 without even scratching the paint on deck five.
Sulu: Photon torpedo tubes loaded.
Kirk: Status of the alien?
Spock: The alien's shields are down 5%. Unable to get accurate hull readings with their shields up.
Kirk: Analysis?
Spock: Thier shields are better than ours. At the current rate of exchanging fire, we will lose.
Kirk flipped a switch on his command chair.
Kirk: Scotty! Increase power to the phaser banks.
Scott: Cap'n! The stress is too much for me bairns! I'm pushing 50% power load already! They canna take much...
Kirk quickly flipped off the switch.
Spock: Captain! I may have found a weakness. Observe.
Spock activated an overhead monitor depicting the alien ship and it's shields.
Spock: If we fire all ship's weapons at this point, we might overload his shields and cause an inverse power flux back into his warp core. The destabilization of the magnetic containment field will cause a quantum shift in the thermodynamic dacron sheath. This of course will result in the degradation...
Kirk: The short version, Spock.
Spock: Very well. In layman's terms, if we hit this spot hard enough, we'll blow the snot out of them. But we must hit this precise spot. The margin of error is approximately one milimeter. And all weapons must hit at precisely the same picosecond.
Kirk: Alright. Transfer the data to Sulu's console. Mr. Sulu, fire when ready.
Sulu: Aye, sir. Firing.
Exterior space:
Photon torpedoes flew out from the Enterprise followed by phaser beams (from the same place the torpedoes came from and on the exact same divergent vectors as before, as well).
The torpedos slammed into the alien ship's shields at the same instant as the phasers. In a brilliant display of pyrotechnic special effects, the alien blew up.
Back on the bridge:
McCoy: I wish we hadn't a had to do that.
Spock wondered how McCoy managed to get on the brodge without using the turbolift, since his keen ears had not heard the distinct woosh of it's doors.
Kirk: It's always regrettable when people die needlessly. But we had no choice. They began firing at us after we shot at them. It was clearly self defense.
McCoy: Oh, well that's different then. It would be nice if we could meet some friendly aliens once in awhile.
Kirk: If we hold fast to the ideals of the Federation, and conduct ourselves as an example of it's principles, then I have no doubt the day will come when we will encounter and shoot at aliens and they won't respond with hatred and violence.
McCoy: Amen to that.
Ending credits scroll.

Sorry, but when I saw a Star Trek empire thread, I just couldn't resist posting something like this!
