Meh I always found Lore to be too one dimensional.

I'd have to say Garek, though you can't really count him as a villain, just a man out for himself.

Lore is interesting as a foil for Data, but he'd be a pretty weak villain on his own.

My favourite villain is Dukat. He's not quite as good as Garek, but as you point out, Garek's really more of an anti-hero.

weak villain on his own? sure, but why?
because Data came first and Lore was estabished as an "evil twin", bro.

you can only have Data AND Lore. you can't have lore without Data.

oh yeah... and data didn't die in nemesis.
his memories and identity were copy and pasted into the B4 prototype. and they eventually activated to full capacity

Yeah yeah, mirroring Spock I know. But unfortunately, the STO and the Books aren't accepted Cannon. As it Stands Data is officially MIA suspected KIA

Star Wars has a better mythos than Star trek anyway.
I like TNG and that's about it, but i think i would like DS9 if i saw

I wish other ST's could air on TV nowadays, and not just TNG(Which I have rewatched 4 times now).

Spike TV used to rerun Voyager...but that's it. Maybe BBC America could start rerunning DS9. Bashir is British.

Sy-Fy also ran some of Ent., be stopped doing that about 3-4 years ago.

Ya, I'm pretty sure BBC could rerun DS9, I don't get why they don't though...

Until someone does, I can always watch it online.

It is a bit of an acquired taste.

Where the fuck does the idea that Star Wars ships don't have shields come from?

In the movies, they get destroyed very easily. It's more that they have weak shields than no shields

Movies, it's very easy to destroy ships in them. Plus, they probably wouldn't have any transport barriers considering they don't have transporters in SW.

by **The Romulan Republic** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 7:33 pm

Star Wars does, however, have jamming, which might interfere with the transporters' sensors.

It's not that the shields are weak, it's that the guns are really fucking powerful. Fairly small ships can flatten cities.

Well yeah, point was the ST ships are way more powerful than SW ships

by **Ameriganastan** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:18 pm

I wouldn't call them more powerful. ST just has the advantage of techno-babble.

From what I understand, lasers wouldn't even scratch the hulls of ST ships.

Dude, one Star Wars capital ship can glass a planet in a day. I love both franchises, but SW tech is ludicrously OP.

And a ship in ST about the size of the NX-01 irradiated a planet the size of Earth...
