Poll ideas

OK folks here's your chance to be part of the site. We need some new poll ideas. Now a good poll idea has to be one that's not only a good question but have a clear set of answers. So an example of a bad poll idea would be "Who was the best actor of all who appeared in TOS", the issue with it is that there would be hundreds of answers. A good example is "What is your favorite series?". TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY or ENT. It's simple and discrete.

So what are your ideas. Try and give us the possible answers as well as a question.

What not steal a couple of our forum only polls?

Such as;

Who is your favorite reoccuring character? We had sevaral nominations including Q, Harry Mudd, and so forth.

Favorite character that SHOULD have been reoccuring? We had several again like Robin Lefler, Sonya Gomez, and even Chief Argyle.

Whats you favorite weapon (Guinens fork left out of course)? We have phasers of different types, disrupters, even the famous bamboo cannon.

Favorite hand-to-hand fight scene? I'm thinking all the choices would involve Kirk...

Not necessarily - off the top of my head I can think of Sisko decking Q, and Archer's battle aboard the sphere.

While ideas like this seem great we need to know what the answers would be. We haven't got the the time to go though every episode looking for all hand-to-hand fights. :shock:

These are the polls we've done before around 'time travel':

Poll of polls - what is your all time favourite time travel story?
What is your favourite Original Series story involving time travel?
What's your favourite Deep Space Nine story involving time travel?
What's your favourite Enterprise story involving time travel?
What's your favourite TNG episode involving time travel?
What's your favourite Voyager story involving time travel?

so we could do least favourite...

How about stealing Black Jesus's thread.......Your a Captain, what ship would you choose?

We could do one with Federation ships, broken up in two parts for TOS/TMP and TNG era

Then Klingon, Romulans, and so forth..........

With a final winner at the end.

And you've GOT all the ships in contention on the main site, pull obvious ones like the Air Tram and other non FTL starships.

I still think a 'wosrt mistake' poll series would be a good idea. Run a thread on each captain for ideas, post the following week.

Yeah, I think that would be a good one. Kirk leaving his shields down in TWOK for example.
