Star Trek 's best moments : SFX NEEDS YOU!
With not long to go until the release of Star Trek Into Darkness , all things Federation are at the forefront of our minds. Which is why we've decided to run a poll to decide what are Star Trek 's best moments.
We've had a big brainstorm and come up with a pretty long list. However, before we open the voting we'd like to offer you, the SFX readership, the chance to make some nominations. (And no, it's not just because we were struggling to think of anything from Voyager - honest.)
Your best moment can come from any of the films or TV series (yes, including the animated show). Here's the important thing which we cannot emphasise enough: we're after moments . Not characters, or relationships, or designs, or ten-minute-long scenes. And they don't all have to be momentous events (character deaths, exploding starships, huge revelations...) They could be laugh-out-loud bits of comedy, or touching character moments. Think outside the box - maybe there's even a classic moment in Nemesis ?!
To give you an idea of what we're after, here's a list of 25 classic moments we reckon definitely deserve to be in contention. What have we missed out? Post your suggestions as a comment on this web page, or join the discussion in our forum !
