Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Cluin Date: 23 Dec 04 - 09:39 PM If sex is to be thrown into the picture, I'd like to change my vote to Dr. Beverly Crusher. As long as we don't have to have Wee Willy Wheaton hanging around. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,WSSBA Central Date: 23 Dec 04 - 02:23 PM Spock is still well ahead, with Kirk just edging out Picard!

Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Date: 23 Dec 04 - 02:12 PM Why thank you - but I don't do re-enactments. I entertain at English RENAISSANCE themed events (not medieval) - but never claim to do re-enactment. And given my sales figures over the past 13 years - quite successfully. "laughable" is what it is about. Bill - you yourself have admitted your"dramatic pauses" were because you couldn't remember your lines. Then again - given your lines in a lot of the shows I would have tried hard to forget them as well. However - I still haven't forgotten or forgiven you for what you did to Zenna Henderson's 'The People'. Hang your head in shame! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,William Shatner Date: 23 Dec 04 - 02:01 PM Uh-huh, uh-huh. Careful, MMario. One of these days I will write a critique of your laughable attempts to re-enact medieval times at those silly shows you do... |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Date: 23 Dec 04 - 01:24 PM Leonard - your character frequently abandoned conversations in mid-stream - resorting to silence and a lifted eyebrow. But you were great in both 'Camelot' and 'Fiddler on the Roof'. And as for the Captain - I would have settled for EITHER lucidity or fluidity - both of which were seriously lacking in his lackluster performances. And she had better taste then that. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: hesperis Date: 23 Dec 04 - 01:23 PM Spock over Kirk, definitely. (Which is why Shatner was upset, because Shatner was SUPPOSED to be the star of the show but Spock was everyone's favorite character.) Picard kicks ass. Best male captain of the Enterprise ever, and the sexiest voice, too. Kirk is not even on the list of cool! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,James T. Kirk Date: 23 Dec 04 - 01:14 PM What would you rather have...lucidity or fluidity? The dialogue in the original Star Trek episodes was witty, punchy, and to-the-point. (Specially my lines.) It left other sci-fi shows of the time in the dust. And I just may have communicated with Uhura better than you think... |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,Leonard Nimoy Date: 23 Dec 04 - 01:11 PM What is your definition of "lucid", MMario? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Date: 23 Dec 04 - 12:47 PM Uhura had the brains of the outfit - and they couldn't manage to communicate without her either. not that either Kirk or Spock were known for lucid conversation. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Dec 04 - 12:45 PM Wow! Things are heating up here, and we have some more "fringe" candidates. Kirk goes to Warp 5 and barrels past Jean-Luc again! But Spock is unstoppable! The standings: Spock - 12 James Tiberius Kirk - 8 Jean-Luc Picard - 6 Uhura - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 "Q" - 3 Seven of Nine - 2 "Bones" (Leonard McCoy) - 2 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 Will/Thomas Riker - 2 Deanna Troi - 1 Pavel Chekov - 2 Damon Tog (Ferengi) - 1 Lwaxana Troi - 1 Geordie La Forge - 1 Tom Parrish - 1 K'heylar - 1 Gene Roddenberry - 1 Nice to see Gene Roddenberry on the list, as he was actually the force behind it all, and Daylia is absolutely right! Star Trek was one of the very few positive forces in TV drama history, as it envisioned a future of enlightenment, unity, and brotherhood instead of the usual dark and pessimistic dramas that are foisted upon us...apparently to show us what losers we all really are! Hooray for Star Trek, a show that believed in humanity! |

Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: gnu Date: 23 Dec 04 - 12:05 PM No offense, but I meant Ted. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: *daylia* Date: 23 Dec 04 - 11:22 AM Well, lets see - from the tender age of 8 I've had my temperature raised - not lowered - by the coolness of the following hotties (in chronological order) ... Kirk (what can I say, I was only 8) Spock Chekov Spock Riker Spock Picard Spock Data Spock Troi (don't ask) Spock Picard Spock Picard Picard Spock Spock Spock Guess that makes it Spock, hands down. Always dreamed of dipping those ears in my fondue. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: gnu Date: 23 Dec 04 - 10:54 AM Okay, but who are you voting for ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: *daylia* Date: 23 Dec 04 - 10:53 AM Star Trek was and still is one of the planets' very few - and most welcome - positive media influences. In the 60's, Gene Roddenbury was ahead of his time in many ways. He dared to script a woman - a woman "of color" no less - even a Russian together with Japanese, Europeans and Americans (!) on the bridge on his futuristic "military" vessel. He envisioned a hopeful future at a time when that was very hard to do; when humanity seemed hopelessly on the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster. And he presented that vision in an influential, compelling, creative, entertaining, and yes even scientifically/technologically 'informed' context of genuine, ongoing mass appeal. Hmmm - I think he should be remembered as the Great Genie Roddenbury. Or maybe the Great Gene(ius) Roddenbury. daylia |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Paco Rabanne Date: 23 Dec 04 - 09:53 AM Neither, they are both embarrassing wankers! Star Trek was silly, amateurish, poorly written shite, fit only to be shown on daytime television! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Mrrzy Date: 23 Dec 04 - 09:45 AM Riker is spelled with no E. Don't you remember the tripping hippies episode? Spock did the "one" thing with his hands, and Kirk was just a Herbert! Now is that cool, or what? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: muppitz Date: 23 Dec 04 - 09:07 AM On the subject of Kirk or Spock, Kirk would be more fun at a party so that's the side of the fence I stand on. Next Gen candidate for me, would be Geordie La Forge. Oh and K'heylar (Worf's woman!), she looks like a woman who knows how to have fun. From Voyager would be Tom Parrish. We need some eye candy and another witty personality. And I would definately agree with anyone who says Q, someone has to be the troublemaker and I'd rather (for once) that it wasn't me. (Am I allowed that many votes????) muppitz x |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,?? Date: 22 Dec 04 - 03:13 PM You missed out Thomas Reiker W. T. Reiker was duplicated in a transporter malfunction and one of him was marooned on a deserted planet for years. The one who made it to the ship was Will Reiker, the one left behind - when he was rescued and discovered what had happened used his second name to difference himself from his luckier and by now higher ranking self. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Bunnahabhain Date: 22 Dec 04 - 01:58 PM (Who's being Crystal at this point in time....) Another vote for Checkov. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,WSSBA Voter Central Date: 22 Dec 04 - 01:45 PM Ahem. Damon Tog has just secured a place on the list. The less said about it the better. What IS worth talking about is...Picard has now tied Kirk!!!! The standings: Spock - 10 James Tiberius Kirk - 6 Jean-Luc Picard - 6 Uhura - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 "Q" - 2 Seven of Nine - 2 "Bones" (Leonard McCoy) - 2 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 Will Reiker - 1 Deanna Troi - 1 Pavel Chekov - 1 Damon Tog (Ferengi) - 1 Lwaxana Troi - 1 *Note: Damon Tog once attempted to romance Lwaxana Troi, and she led him on for a bit, till rescued by Jean-Luc Picard. This is interesting, in light of the fact that all three of them received one vote each in the last few rounds of voting! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Dec 04 - 12:05 PM OK I'd go for Dr McCoy as second choice. He could have felt my pulse anytime! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,Zelda Zane Date: 22 Dec 04 - 10:27 AM Damon Tog, the Ferengi commander. What a hunk! I would love to caress his gorgeous ears and drive him slowly into a frenzy. Oh, and another vote for dear Jean-Luc too! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Date: 22 Dec 04 - 10:20 AM Lwaxana Troi...who not only is a lot cooler then her daughter but hotter as well! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Dec 04 - 10:09 AM Oh! The drama! Picard is into the big leagues now, and may upset Kirk! The female vote is coming in. (No, you can only vote once for any given character. You can also vote later for another character, however, if you want to.) Spock - 10 James Tiberius Kirk - 6 Jean-Luc Picard - 5 Uhura - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 "Q" - 2 Seven of Nine - 2 "Bones" (Leonard McCoy) - 1 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 Will Reiker - 1 Deanna Troy - 1 Pavel Chekov - 1 |

Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Enti Date: 22 Dec 04 - 08:52 AM Jean Luc!!!! definitely, though the whole crew from all series is of course best. Em.. yes that was another female vote for him... |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: 42 Date: 22 Dec 04 - 06:45 AM If you're going to allow write in ballots I think Zaphod Beeblebrox has to be on the guest list for your space soiree. Kirk's smarmy 'man the torpedos' approach to women wouldn't do him any good around here and I don't think he could take his airbrush lens with him. Spock's too much work unless he's in ponfar (sp). If you're limiting the choices to Star Trek in all its manifestations I'm for Jean Luc. j |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Bunnahabhain Date: 22 Dec 04 - 06:39 AM Q! That way I can honestly say I'm not the biggest troublemaker around. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,Crystal (sans biscuit!) Date: 22 Dec 04 - 05:03 AM Can we vote more than once? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Dec 04 - 12:12 AM And therrrrrre-s.....a vote for Mr Chekov! Can Mr Sulu be far behind? |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Metchosin Date: 21 Dec 04 - 11:43 PM Well if we want cool, it would have to be the Cat from Red Dwarf, now that's coool. But given my druthers, I'd rather spend an evening pissed as a newt on vodka with Chekhov, than any time with either Kirk or Spock. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Dec 04 - 11:20 PM Righto. The election battle storms boldly on...although Kirk and Spock are the official candidates for our party guy, our coolest of the cool among interstellar stud monkeys (and monkettes), there are many other votes coming in, splitting the ticket all over the place. The standings: Spock - 10 Kirk - 6 Uhura - 3 Jean-Luc Picard - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 Seven of Nine - 2 Bones - 1 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 "Q" - 1 Will Reiker - 1 And I am now putting in a very enthusiastic vote for Deanna Troy! Deanna Troy - 1 The analysts here at WSSBA Central are expressing surprise at a number of developments...First of all, that James T. Kirk has not run away with it by now is fairly astounding, although Spock was expected to be a very strong contender from the start. Jean-Luc Picard, too, was considered a dangerous adversary who could rob a great many votes from either the Kirk or the Spock camp, but he has so far made only a modest showing of 3 votes. This is disappointing for Picard-worshippers, many of whom are female. Uhura and Scotty are feisty, as always. That was expected. That the smarmy little weasel, Dr Bashir, has actually EQUALLED them is remarkable! (The WSSBA does not really regard Dr Bashir as true Star Trek material.) Leonard McCoy has not come through as expected, possibly due to his propensity for bizarre non-sequitors and emotional outbursts...but the most astounding thing of all...the thing that has us utterly gobsmacked, is....DATA has only 1 vote!!! Shocking! The charming android was expected to be in 4rth place at this point in the polls. What, oh what, has happened to Data??? As for Guynan (played by Whoopi Goldberg), well...we weren't really expecting much buzz around her... |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST Date: 21 Dec 04 - 10:51 PM No one mentioned Reiker!! And there is two of him - thanks to a transporter accident. Wooooo! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Pauline L Date: 21 Dec 04 - 07:57 PM Spock is ultracool. He took second place at the All Vulcan harp competition. (His father took first place.) I'd invite Spock and maybe Scotty, too. I'd like to hear them play a duet on Vulcan harp and bagpipes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,Busybee Paul mat Work Date: 21 Dec 04 - 08:18 AM Thanks for the correction, I was trying to think of Dr Bashir and then got my series confused with the Hologram Doc (well, it was past my bed time). Also glad I hadn't forgotten the Hologram Dr's name - I didn't think he had one. Live long and prosper everyone! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Crystal Date: 21 Dec 04 - 07:43 AM Dr Bashir! That was his name! I'll vote for him because he was cute! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: gnu Date: 21 Dec 04 - 06:06 AM Well, if we can vote for others, surely we can vote for more than one. Q would liven things up. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: CharlieA Date: 21 Dec 04 - 04:55 AM Jean-Luc for sure! or maybe Dr Bashir from DS9 - oh and the hologram doc was Voyager - and didn't have a name (sorry I'll crawl back in my box now!) Hugs Cxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Dec 04 - 04:15 PM Okay, well, "Seven of Nine" is a real name, I guess. 2 official votes for Seven of Nine, then. |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,thirty eight of double D Date: 20 Dec 04 - 04:07 PM I'll vote for seven of nine! |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Dec 04 - 03:57 PM We have recorded an official vote for Data. Votes for characters whom people cannot remember the names of will go uncounted. Kirk - 6 Spock - 9 Uhura - 3 Jean-Luc Picard - 2 Scotty - 1 Bones - 1 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: BusyBee Paul Date: 20 Dec 04 - 03:31 PM At least none of you guys mentioned Seven of nine - mind you, she wouldn't make you cooler so perhaps that's why!. My vote goes for the hologram Doctor in DS9 or Data, at least you can switch them off!. Deirdre |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Dec 04 - 09:29 PM Kirk is now up to 6 votes! Kirk - 6 Spock - 9 Uhura - 3 Jean-Luc Picard - 2 Scotty - 1 Bones - 1 Cletus (?) - 1 (We have determined that Cletus is/was a very, very minor Ferengi character in the Next Generation episode # 57. He attempted to have sex with Doctor Crusher (inflamed by the sight of a woman in clothing), and got punched out by her. He then attempted to beam himself out of the ship but got the coordinates confused and materialized inside the warp drive. Bye, bye, Cletus!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Nerd Date: 19 Dec 04 - 09:22 PM Sorry, folks, Kirk is from Iowa. See, I really AM a nerd... |
Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Dec 04 - 09:15 PM Hmmm...Kirk is making a small comeback, but Spock is still way ahead. |
