I have a box of Frosted Mini Wheats and just pulled a Star Trek--Romulan Transporter badge out of the box.

When you push the button that contacts the spaceship you want to beam to, a green LED light on the end lights up.......kind of like a flashlight

Aegis · « **Reply #1 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:25:42 PM »

Now you have your badge to go along with your certification!!

(Not that I'm jealous, or anything!

)

hot dog · « **Reply #2 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:37:52 PM »

ah! I believe I do detect a little envy here

You're going to hate me even more now, because I just found the Star Fleet Transporter Badge in a different box of Frosted Mini Wheats!

When the button is pushed to signal, a yellow LED turns on

Aegis · « **Reply #3 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:54:56 PM »

So, are you buying these, or standing in the supermarket aisle, rifling through all the boxes?!

I really liked the movie, by the way. I tease you because I'm pleased you passed. I tried in '02, and never took the official test. Practice hardware tests were no problem, but the Win2K side gave me fits!

If you get the red one DON'T press the button...

just bought a couple boxes of cereal recently....broke into them before the boxes were emptly

I didn't see the new movie that just came out, only the older ones with the original crew......and No hard feelings about teasing me

and yes, the exam seems to have evolved quite much from back in '02. I wonder if it was harder back then compared to now....the exam seems more comprehensive now...

so is the new beam me up scotty film any good this year? Yahoo movies A'd it.

squall_01 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2009, 04:43:02 PM »

According from what I heard, personal I like the regular cast which I suppose makes me a true fan but I kind of like the look of a younger spock

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:19:58 PM »

I've always been more keen on the next generation- probably since I saw that first. Also I liked the whole transistionary movie that was "genesis".

squall_01 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:56:27 AM »

I liked it for the most part but it sort of felt like it was a mock in a way.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:48:39 PM »

how so?

Didn't really like the enterprise-C segment at the beginning. The captain seemed a bit too fresh to be in charge of the enterprise.

Aegis · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2009, 04:00:28 PM »

Was that Enterprise at the beginning of the new film? I missed that. I didn't think the original Captain was all that young...hmmm...now I have to check into that.

Let's not give too much away for those who've not yet seen it!

I'm talking about the 7th movie, actually- the first 6 with the original Enterprise crew, and then Genesis, which in effect was a transition from The original Series to The Next Generation. They are all freshi n my mind, since I just watched the four movies after the original six (Genesis, First Contact,Insurrection, Nemesis) and all 6 seasons of The next generation- now I'm up to season 6 of Voyager. It's been a few months of progress, but I've seen so little of any star trek on TV so it's all new to me.

I'm pretty sure the script just says "push buttons randomly" whenever they need to do something with their computers, too. kind of funny.

Aegis · « **Reply #15 on:** May 27, 2009, 04:55:56 PM »

OK, now I'm gonna have to look up "Genesis."

squall_01 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:26:42 PM »

probably why I dont like it, maybe the reason why I dont like it isnt so much the orginal cast but the writters and what not. I mean you look at the orginal series an they had to use what they had to make that stuff. Know its like green scene and digital changes which are all good but it can blend what real an what isnt.

who was that guy levar burton from reading rainbow was playing in the next generation> Data? I mean that guy with the thing over his eyes allowing him to see.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2009, 07:02:45 PM »

Data was Brent Spiner. Levar Burton was Geordie LaForge (with the visor)

ah thank you, i seem to have mixed up my guys, now having not seen the old next generation star trek episodes for so long.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2009, 07:08:03 PM »

I was surprised, when I watched the first few seasons. The acting and writing was a bit strange for the first few seasons. They seemed to like to separate the ship an awful lot.

Aegis · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2009, 08:11:16 PM »

Yes, that was a nice gimmick the first time they did it, but after that, it was, Whatever...and yes, it took a season or two to hit its stride.

One of my favorite episodes remains, "The Measure Of A Man," in which Data's rights as a self-functioning, sentient being go on trial. The message of the episode is relevant and powerful, even today.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2009, 08:32:15 PM »

the most interesting part of that being how he was the judge...

squall_01 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 28, 2009, 04:08:48 AM »

I thought personally that he had died or something surprised that he had ended up on the series. I havent seen that show since I was like seven it was fairly good at the time.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #24 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:03:40 AM »

Actually, not to be a spoilsport- but one of the core cast does die in the last TNG movie, "nemesis".

Levar was on reading rainbow!

Wow should of paid more attention to that show back in 1st grade, there may have been a message placed in that show about how to deal with the Romulans

squall_01 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:53:59 AM »

thats funny, thats terrible they cant do that.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #27 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:59:52 AM »

Also- Nemesis kind of solves the whole Romulan's dilly-o. Long story. Wouldn't want to reveal too much!

Oh, when you referred to "Genesis" before, did you mean, "Generations"?

Or was it "The Wrath of Khan" in which they fought over "Genesis."? I was confused by the reference to the young captain.

I was referring to Generations. My reference to Genesis was a mistake.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #50 on:** May 29, 2009, 08:49:08 AM »

It's a "tricorder"...

the stories behind Star Wars and Star Trek are so vastly different that there really is no "knock-off" quality. Star Trek is in the future. Star Wars in in the distant past. Star Trek is in this galaxy, Star Wars is... well, god knows where.

Now, other programs that came around, like babylon five, ARE knock offs in a sense.
