“Um, uh, yah, OK, sure”

Well, I kind of get the Odo thing. Shapeshifting into anything. Infinite diversity of possible permutations. Shifting images, each different the the one before. I think the artist kind of failed in the analogy, but I think that’s what the artist might have been going after.

Dennis , all you need to do is get Joan Collins involved for a fan movie , and then mix your Scifi with a little Conan Doyle , Shelley and Stoker , a twist of Edgar Allan Poe , and Aaagh !! A dark twisted version of Star Trek !! And of course , you must have Lutz Bacher as designer , for that touch of the unpredictable !!!

I like the Steam Trek , it reminded me of Jim , Spock and McCoy in THe City on the Edge of Forever , and also was reminiscent of Star Trek Enterprise . I must admit , I was amused that it is a British Team effort !!

Can’t take any list seriously that put “Terminator II” that highly, but nice to see Forbidden Planet and Planet of the Apes there.
Not surprised at the poor showing of Star Trek films… great as they are in other areas, they’re a bit lacking in any real science-fiction ideas, which to me was the main appeal of the original series.
None of them presented a fresh science-fiction idea that expanded the horizons of the imagination in the way that the original series, and the great science fiction literature and films of the 50s and 60s, often did. The Genesis Device had the potential but the films didn’t really explore it except as a rough canvas for the stories of the second and third films.

That “top 25″ list is good for a brief chuckle. Nothing more.

There is Art Deco Trek… it’s now called “The Original Series!”

Exactly. You can’t take a list seriously that says that Star Wars is Sci-Fi. That shows a basic misunderstanding of the meaning of the word. Also, they have The Thing far ahead of 2001. I don’t think this could really be considered a valid list. ;-)
