Just as a side note, Rocar, Tyr, Idril and I are working to make this Writing Challenge process a lot smoother, so there shouldn't be such a lag time in judging and such now

TNG/DS9/VOY all had 7 seasons. ENT, apparently, will have 4. TOS I can never remember. I think it was around 4, though.

From the judge, Idril Mar: Per this assessment, Cmdr. Waltas has won this riting challenge and will get a mini-banner for his forum sig, and a banner to be placed on his ship's website. Thank you everyone who participated -- check back here in a week or two for the next challenge!

Yeah, same here. Seems like they finally found their footing and now they're ending it. Very sad.

I figured that was a scam, which was why I didn't do it Too bad I paid so much extra!

It's getting better by the episode, I think. I am getting a little tired of the constant feeling of conflict and mis-representation though. Meaning, I feel like we keep rehashing the same "We humans are just trying to help you and you all hate us and take advantage of us!" plot. Maybe I'm just being negative, but I feel like we are seeing less "hopeful" Trek and more self-pitying Trek.

Just never had anyone to organize it. If you're interested, take the helm

I'm here folks, I'm just extremely busy. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to read these entries while also trying to build the new website. If you want to poke anyone, poke Idril. She's judging this round. I'll take "applications" for 1-2 people who want to assist with the next round of writing challenges. I really would like to do one a month, but if I can't get any help in creating/judging, then we won't be able to do it at all. :-\

Yes, I'm stupid. Nothing to see here, move along...

They stole my idea!! Um, HELLO. Thieve from me much? Jeez. If you're going to troll around our boards on a regular basis and steal the ideas of UFOP'ers, at least let us in on the fun!

Did anyone think it was a little hokey that they had Soong (Spiner) giving the impression that he was the origination of the Borg at the end of the last episode? (Not to mention the fact that it completely throws off all of what we know about the Borg as it is...)

A new challenge will start in November. Until then, no stories are accepted.

Hmm... I'm kinda nervous. Not sure if I had TiVo set to record ENT while I'm gone! :-/

Sorry, been a bit busy with the new website and all :-\ I'll try and get the Judges together this week

I've actually never seen the seventh season of DS9, and for the past few months I've been watching DS9 on SpikeTV as they rerun the eps. Right now they're up to the station-retaking ep in Season 6, so I decided to take the plunge and buy both S6 and S7 I'm super excited to see what's in store! (BTW: Watching the retaking of DS9 eps on DVD is SO much better than TiVo'ing them! I love my TiVo, but the quality just isn't the same. On TiVo, you're seeing the signal fed over an already-imprecise cable line, into the TiVo, and then played back from a harddrive. The details like the hull plating on the Defiant are completely lost. I had totally forgotten how detailed the model of DS9 was until I saw it on the DVD. TiVo is great for sitcoms and other shows with mostly light-colored scenery, but dark colored scenery is generally dulled, unfortunately Anyway, thumbs up for the DVDs! I just wish they weren't priced so high...)

Naive: "Lacking worldly experience and understanding." Navy: "A nation's entire military organization for sea warfare and defense, including vessels, personnel, and shore establishments." But, in case you weren't aware, the Navy has everything to do with being in StarFleet StarFleet itself is based off the United States Navy.

We're only a few weeks from the end of this challenge! Be sure to get your submissions in soon.

I have tons of favorites, but a few stick out in my mind. As others have mentioned, I thought "Year of Hell" was a superbly done 2-parter. Tons of adventure, drama, etc. My favorite DS9 episode has always been "The Ship." They just showed it on Spike the other day This is the one where Sisko finds the Jem'Hadar ship, and then has to protect his find against a Vorta/Jem'Hadar squad until the Defiant can arrive and tractor the downed-ship back to DS9. For some reason, this episode has always stuck with me. I thought it was a really gate statement on international disputes, and that the Trek side of it was really engaging.

I agree that Janeway "let" herself be promoted. And she had a right -- after all the hell she went through, she deserved a cushy desk job.

::Snickers:: Class? I always thought Riker was a bit brash, really.

I love Janeway, but let's be honest, she couldn't have done it without Berman & Braga on her side

Are you referring to the StarFleet Academy Courses and Curriculum page? If so, it says that you have to have 10 courses, under your 2 specializations. That doesn't mean you need 10 specializations -- it just means that you must choose two specializations and take 10 courses between the two. That could mean 5/5, or 4/6, 3/7, and so on.

::Gag:: I have no interest in seeing an Enterprise movie, for starts. Luckily for me, however, "[sT:XI] would not be connected with Enterprise." The hell? So it's not going to be an ENT movie. Does that mean it's going to be another time travel movie, with Riker/Titan? ::Vomits:: Or worse, does it mean we're going to see a whole new crew of nobodies that's going to ensure this movie shoots straight to the top of the "Worst Movie Release Earnings Ever" list? This sounds terrible. I'm very worried :-\
