There were just going to be too many options if I went with all of the Star Terk universe, so let's just stick to the Alpha Quadrant. :cool:

Cardassian's of course probably the most rational species in the series

The borg aren't from the Alpha Quadrant. It's unclear where they're from. If anything they're from the Delta Quadrant

/geekmoment

And mine isn't on the list. Trill.

There were just going to be too many options if I went with all of the Star Terk universe, so let's just stick to the Alpha Quadrant. :cool:

Well, let's see...we have:

A Whole Race of Emos Who Refuse To Face Their Emotions
A Whole Race of Emos Who Refuse To Control Their Emotions
A Race Of Constantly Fighting "Macho" Men Who Use Honor As An Excuse
A Race Of People...Who Drink Fish Juice. Hot Fish Juice.
A Race Of Blue-Skinned People Who Can Only Shout "Pink-skin!"
A Race Of Mind-Numbingly Stupid Capitalists
A Race Of Fundie Religious Nuts
And A Race Comprised Purely of Geeks Who Take "Fitting In" Way Too Far.

What lovely choices. I can't figure out which one I like best. :p
And if you still can't tell, yes I'm a Trekkie making fun of Trek. Also, Nerd Points if you get the fish juice reference.

:) nice poll.

You forgot the last option: the race that likes to plays with giant cigarette lighters. :p

EDIT: Just noticed the white text in your post. I get it: Kanar. ;)

peta'Q!

off the list i like the bajorans best. peaceful religionists who go terrorist when they have to.

What the hell do those stinking Bajorans do on the poll? (Sorry Ashmoria, I just saw your post, with which mine doesn't have anything to do!)

If there's a race that deserves it, it's definitely the Horta!!! :D

I like Klingons, cuz their ships look the best.

Romulans FTW!

http://macha.sener.free.fr/startrek/races/images/romulan.jpg

one of the greatest lines ever delivered in star trek was a DS9 episode where sisko takes the crew of DS9 to play baseball, it was delivered by worf as the game begins.

general crew: hey batter batter, strike him out (general chatter)


worf (totally straight faced): death to the opposition

Klingons.

No, no, no...they can't hold a candle to the Romulan Warbird.

Yeah they can.

Look! (http://www.smallartworks.ca/Gallery/Klingon/Klingon1.JPG) they have wings and such. And big guns.

Romulans just have those wimpy-ass Starfleet-like "disruptor ports" or whatever that add nothing to the aesthetic. And that thing is shaped like some sort of starfleet-designed curvetastic neomodernist testicle-less family cars.

My brother and I nearly pissed ourselves when he said that. http://209.85.48.8/9854/48/emo/roflma.gif

There was also an episode of Enterprise where a Klingon in a holodeck, looking out over a simulation of Kronos, points and says, "I can see my house from here!" :D

No, no, no...they can't hold a candle to the Romulan Warbird.

Oh please. One Romulan D'Deridex Warbird is approximately twice the size of a Galaxy-class starship yet has approximately the same firepower and is somewhat slower? What the hell, Romulans? You fail at efficient ship-building.

Cluchistan: It was a vaguely amusing episode, wasn't it? Pity it took place when it did, when a much more appropriate episode could have been made for the Dominion War arch.

i think the list represents most of those aliens that are on the show on a consistent basis.

otherwise my favorites are those autistic/retarded guys who stole geordie because he was smart and could fix things.

I think they just wanted to take a lighthearted break from all the serious war stuff.

Have women feeding you and stroking you all day long? ;)


But for the op

Well, overall, the arch was under utilized. Despite some of the numbers we occasionally heard and some of the stuff we saw, we rarely got a real feeling that the Federation was at war. We didn't see much sign of it anywhere throughout the various episodes. And don't even get me started on some of the wasted time in that last episode.

But meh. I'm not in a Trek mood. I'm in more of a Chrono mood. To Chrono Trigger!

Tribbles!

Now I'm wishing I could replace the Bajorans with Tribbles. :D

I think i would have to choose the Green Women from Orion :)

ah, but they did visit the alpha quadrant, so if Borg is in the poll and count (even though we only know them from Delta but they did visit Alpha) then I think the Q should be okay.

I was actually thinking of an old Kids in the Hall sketch:

Anal Probing Aliens

[We see Mark on a table, with two strange white "lights" folded down near his head. A sequined blanket is draped over him, and he lies down with his knees curled up into his chest. We see two aliens stand around him. One alien holds a strange device that looks kind of like a lightsaber, but with a solid white plastic piece where the beam would be.]

Kevin: Ready the anal probe.

[Dave switches the device on as it begins to glow. It looks like a lightsaber with a small white beam.]

Dave: Anal probe is ready.

Kevin: [nods] Commence anal probing.

[Mark screams loud and long as Dave sticks it where the sun don't shine. He pulls it out, after two seconds and pulls off the white plastic part (to sterilize it?).]

Dave: Quick, erase his memory!

[Kevin waves a hand over Mark as the two lighted "paddles" come up. Mark stops yelling and gets a calm look on his face.]

Kevin: Memory's erased. Get him out of here.

[Two other aliens come and start to wheel Mark off.]

Dave: Move it. [pauses as he moves closer to Kevin] Ah, boy.

Kevin: Something wrong?

Dave: Ah...it's nothing really....

Kevin: I think you could use a cup of coffee.

Dave: Yeah. [sighs]

[They move to a lounge, where Kevin pours two cups of coffee. They keep talking as Dave sits down.]

Kevin: So what's bothering you?

Dave: Ahhhh....lately I just keep wondering...what's the point?

Kevin: The point?

Dave: Yeah. What's the point of what we do?

Kevin: Sorry, I don't follow you.

[Kevin sits down.]

Dave: Well, I mean, we travel 250,000 light years across the universe, abduct humans, probe the anally and release them.

Kevin: Yeah... AND?

Dave: Well, doesn't it seem kind of point-LESS?

Kevin: I really don't think about it.

Dave: Well, don't you think you should?

Kevin: No, I don't think I should. I don't think I should question the leadership of our Great Leader.

Dave: Oh, come on! I mean, we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes, and all that we have learned is that 1 in 10 doesn't really seem to mind.

Kevin: Well, do you have a better plan than our Great Leader?

Dave: Yes I do, I do have a better plan. My plan is that we DON'T travel 250,000 light years; we DON'T abduct any humans; and -- this is the best part -- we DON'T do any anal probing.

Kevin: [sarcastic] Oh, great plan! Do you realize how many people Intergalactic Anal-Probing employees?

[They see that the next victim is ready. They put down the coffee and do the same motions as before, except Dave is very reluctant this time.]

Kevin: Well, back to work.

Dave: Awww...

Kevin: Ready the anal probe.

Dave: [unenthusiastic] Anal probe is ready.

Kevin: Commence anal probing.

Dave: [rolling eyes, exasperated] Couldn't we at least abduct their political or religious leaders, instead of just any idiot in a pickup truck?!?!

Kevin: I'm sure the Great Leader has his reasons.

Dave: [sarcastic] Well, I'm sure the Great Leader is just some sort of twisted ass freak!

Kevin: [calmly] All right. I am now officially ignoring you. Commence anal probing.

[Dave inserts the probe. This victim doesn't scream. Rather, he smiles and looks happy.]

Dave: Well, that's a relief anyway. Erase his memory.

Kevin [going through motions] Memory is erased.

Dave: Get him out of here.

Kevin: [to interns wheeling victim out] Come on, kid. Move it. Move it!

[They move to the window and look out on the moon and the Earth.]

Kevin: You know what you need? A hobby. I know it helps me.

Dave: Yeah? What do you do?

Kevin: Well, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I'm a pretty good amateur rectal photographer. Would you like to see my portfolio?

Dave: No. I would hate to.

Kevin: Fine. Screw you.

Dave: Well, screw you.

[Kevin moves off, leaving Dave staring at the Earth.]

So you wound up being able to pronounce "anal probe" perfectly. Great! :D

And mine isn't on the list. Trill.

I thought the Borg were the sole example we had of a race from the Beta Quadrant.

How can you forget the 'Q' Continuum?

'Q' Rules.

And they technically count as an Alpha Quadrant species, because the First Contact took place in the Alpha Quadrant.

The Q.

I don't think they're from the Alpha Quadrant...

That logic is faulty. There were a number of races that were first contacted at DS9 that were definitely Delta Quadrant races.

You didn't list the Breen, who are possibly the most technologically advanced of the Alpha Quadrant's races. Remember what they did to Defiant.

one of the greatest lines ever delivered in star trek was a DS9 episode where sisko takes the crew of DS9 to play baseball, it was delivered by worf as the game begins.

Wasn't that episode just on today?

Is it just me, or have you forgotten about us humans?

And as for good looking ships this is the best ones by far.

I say Q because there is nothing like an omnipotent pain in the ass. I do not know what quadrant or universe he is from so I will assume he is from the delta quadrant.

i have to go for romulans having micro singulatiry technology must give there ships kick ass power levels even if there sheilds/weapons are crap.
but as for favorite ships i like the AKIRA

Yeah, the Breen are cool. What I know about them anyways, which is next to nothing.

Aren't the Q not even in the same reality/dimension (whatever) as everyone else in the universe? So you can't put them as being "from" anywhere in the universe, certainly not the Alpha Quadrant.

Would have said earlier but I've only just come back from a break from NSG.

The Borg are not an Alpha Quadrant race, they originated in the Delta Quadrant.

Humans.

...

What? We're alien to all of them...

Well...since it's limited to Alpha Quadrant races, the poll is inaccurate, since Romulans and Klingons are techincally Beta Quadrant races.

[/geekmode]

I'll say the Breen...although my favorite race, since it's introduction, has always been the Jem'Hadar.

I'll also say THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosk_%28Star_Trek%29) guy! :)

and the borg are from the delta quadrant!

you preferre something from the movies then?

The Tholians were also left off this list.
