I quite favor that story arc. It was very interesting.

no no no no no....in response to the transwarp question. Intrepid class ships were NOT built with transwarp in mind. The Federation obviously did not plan on Voyager getting hurled across the galaxy. And yes, they would have used transwarp to get home faster, but as they said in Dark Fronteir: "We would use transwarp, but we can't replicate coils. If we could get our hands on just one transwarp coil, we could shave 20 years off our trip." That was the whole idea behind boarding the Borg sphere....

I don't know about KILLING Picard, but how's about a new crew. I DO want to see the enterprise E get blown up, though.

Lightsabers are an impossible concept.

I think the Borg can adapt to projectiles. Look at Best of Both Worlds when (I don't remember who) hit a drone, only to be stopped. It would appear that they can adapt to matter. There must be some sort of weapon that would resist borg adaptation.

in response to the poll: Particle weapons is my choice, though they are not practical with our current technology. We could probably build a phase pistol, but it would require the power source of 1 nuclear power plant. We gotta work on that fusion thing! The best "particle weapons" we have revolve around the basis of sound waves. We have a weapon that can break a person's ribs with directed sound. The weapon works on the same principles you might have seen in Minority Report with all of the advertisements that knew Tom Cruise's character's name.

in response to the poll... Recently, a neutron star exploded about 50,000 light years away. (half of our galaxy) The star was said to be just bigger than New York City. The explosion disrupted our atmosphere, interrupting satellite transmissions. Recall now that this explosion was 50,000 light years away, and it was still able to affect us. If there is life out there, there might not be anymore. A neutron star is the remnant of a star that was once several times more massive than the Sun. When their nuclear fuel is depleted, they explode as a supernova. The nearest neutron star of the type that exploded (magnestar) to us is less than 10,000 light years away. Should this explode, the shockwave would certainly cause mass extinction. The magnetic field around a magnestar is about 1,000 trillion gauss, strong enough to strip information from a credit card at a distance halfway to the Moon.

Wait...don't they have replicators? Unless, of course, they're low on deuterium...

I've had this idea for a little while now, here's what I think they should do: Make some sort of fallout with the new found Romulan peace occur. Maybe some other races won't approve of the Federation teaming up with the Romulans. Whoever gets mad at the humans launches a massive attack and takes Romulus. The Federation gets involved, of course. We get smacked down by whoever took Romulus and their allies. Several races lose faith in the Federation and leave it. By the end of the war and turmoil, the Federation is boiled down to like 15 planets. This can then lead in to the next series. Rebuilding the Federation. But, that's just what I think they should do...

It was the one where they ended up in 1996 with that genetic psycho guy. Season...2 or 3...don't remember the name.

I highly doubt this is the end to such a long-standing sci-fi dynasty. I'd say the chances for the next series to appear on UPN are minimal. Why not move it to the sci-fi channel? It'd be their crown jewel! But, how are they going to save it? plot-wise, I mean. I'd say the best idea is to make the next movie where the crap hits the fan and the Federation is brought to its knees. It can spawn a new series of rebuilding the once-great federation. That'd keep it interesting...

I don't think cameo-ing any other established Star Trek persona is a very good idea for the finale. Startrek.com says the last two or three episodes will be about the formation of the Federation. Humanity's last hurdle is in fact humanity itself. Cameo-ing other persona just seems too desperate for me.
