Ford:  he's referring to the SG-1 Ancients, not the FS ancients.
"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will -- and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain."  - Gene Roddenberry

****, since we are throwing in species from random Sci-Fi universes, lets see some Shadows and Vorlons go into the frey, oh hell, let's just throw the entire B5 universe in! ****, lets see the Chig in there too, and how about some Peace Keepers?


Seriously, though, Andromeda sucks ass. I tried to like it, I really did, but it just became Hercules in Space. I'll admit it, though, I liked the pilot episode, and thought the seires had a ton of potential, but alas, I was wrong. The less said about Enterprise the better....

P.S. THE PLANET EXPRESS SHIP PWNS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

Oh no you don't. You can't just make a statement like that and walk away. You have to say WHY all Trek makes you cringe.

Y'know, so we can more effectively mock you.

That must be why I can tolerate Andromeda. I never watched much of Kevin in "Hercules". In fact I think I saw like....two episodes. No taint to compare to I suppose. :D

That and I'm easy to please. :D

The better seasons of the all the series lacked the lycra jumpsuits. As did the good movies.

Indeed. TNG improved dramatically as soon as they started putting collared jackets on the uniforms.

Once again, though, Andromeda comes out ahead. Their costumes are cool.

What costumes?  They all look like they came out of a music video.  Contrary to what we've been lead to believe, the High Guard must be very low key when it comes to proper dress.  I realize it's kind of a naval setting and it's not like I'm asking for full dress every week, but is it too much to ask for the crew to wear standard uniforms?  I mean really, they're the command staff for a crew of 4000, they should set an example.  I understand that non-standard clothing might be required for covert stuff but really, there's not a whole lot of covertness about a Glorius Heritage cruiser.

BTW, kinda OT but does anyone have the dimensions of the Andromeda?  I've seen 9?? x 4?? x 4?? in places but I remember a plot character commenting how she was the size of twelve or her worlds aircraft carriers.  I may not be terribly gifted at the maths, but I know that an aircraft carriers are commonly in the 600 to 800 meter range so how can the Andromeda be the stated size and elicit that kind of comment?

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Odd, that you have a point. You can automatically tell whether an ep of TNG or DS9 will be good by looking at what uniforms they are wearing...

No they aren't.

USS Nimitz Stats

 Overall length: 1,092 feet
Overall width: 252 feet
Beam at waterline: 134 feet

I was kind of surprised when I found out it was that small.

Besides that worlds carriers may have been on the Ark Royal scale rather than that of the Nimitz

HMS Ark Royal is larger than her 2 sisters, Invincible  and Illustrious, at 210 metres (683 feet) long. She has a maximum beam of 36 metres (117 feet) and a displacement of 20,000 tonnes.
