What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

As for how I thought it made the show good, I quite liked seeing the Federation getting more like what it had stood to oppose.

Just my opinion.
For me, this was definitely one of the most interesting aspects of the show. It also, for me, is sort of when the franchise jumps the shark to some extent. I mean, Voyager's premise seems to have been created so they could have a typical ship-based show free of all the consequences DS9 created in the Alpha Quadrant. So it seems that, after Voyager and the disappointing Insurrection and Nemesis (both of which tended to IGNORE the Dominion War, falling back on the Trek reset button-crutch for storytelling) and, now with the information about Star Trek 2009, it seems that the 24th Century Alpha Quadrant setting that took almost two decades to develop has been abandoned.

In other words, it's possible that by creating gripping, realist, and dark storylines, but by crossing so many lines and creating so many consequences that MUST be adhered to, Ron Moore may have stopped the development of the Alpha Quadrant in the 24th Century.

Oh and 62) Breen Nursery Rhymes.

I do believe that was one of the main reasons they did the "lost in space" thing with Voyager.

Jesus wept. Chris will you please have a look at the date on the last post before replying to something. This topic's over a year old.

I find it interesting how many posts we get by stating how old a given thread is.

Yeah, it is somewhat ironic that people tend to bump an ancient topic by commenting on how old the topic in question was.
'Course, I'm somewhat guilty of that too.

I don't see a problem with it. Chris added his fair POV plus another "reason" to the count. I thought it was said that it was ok to reopen a thread as long as you have something to add.
