Haaarrrr!
Right, since I'm here, I want to point out a few things...

Firstly, Talk like a pirate day is on the 19th of September. Those more astute, (or cute), than me will have already figured out that this is a Sunday. Now, I know this doesn't work for christmas or anything, but we're going to move it to the Friday before, for work purposes.
So, that means the 17th of September, instead of being a dress down day, will now be a dress like a pirate day.

I watched Star Trek : Nemesis last night. Only because it was on Sky you understand, I haven't turned into a sex-starved sandal wearer or anything.
As well as being fundamentally pish, there are things that just annoy me about the thing. Why on earth (or elsewhere) is it that the transporters never work when they're needed? They seem to be fine when your just pissing around shagging aliens, but as soon as anyone is in any trouble they are screwed (usually interference). Now, I know it's pretty technical stuff to make them work at all, and I'm not dissing all the fine work that's carried out in Starfleet headquarters, but the point is that every other species seems to be able to transport people straight from the Enterprise on a mere whim. Gives us Earthies a bad name it does.
Oh, and the sensors never seem to pick up anything, unless it's something very dangerous that the captain always wants to investigate.
Example:
From 1 billion light years away -
Sensor Guy - "Captain, I'm picking up some squadiggle whatcha readings from a far away planet"
Captain - "Set a course and engage, fanny-baws"
From 3 feet away -
Captain - "Right, where's it coming from then, fanny-baws?"
Sensor Guy - "I can't tell, the readings are too faint."
Captain - "Prick"

Oh, and I'm no expert in Starfleet Protocols, but they kept going on at the start how the Captain couldn't go on away missions, or could, but only if the second in command didn't, or something. But, as soon as the opportunity arose the whole lot of the senior knobbers pissed off to the planet, leaving newt in charge, which had been Hick's plan all along.
