Birthday Party - The Second Coming
As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.
However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!
The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.
Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

Vulcans definitely! And I think we can agree to disregard
Enterprise as not canon, both with regards to the Vulcans and the
stupid Suliban/temporal cold war plot line.
no subject
Tribbles, lol! They're fluffy, and I do love fluffy things!
I was always fascinated by Vulcans, I adored Spock as a small child (he's
still my favourite Star Trek character) and I was conviced I must be part
Vulcan because one of my ears is a bit pointy. Of course I was only 5 or
6 at the time, so I think I can be forgiven!
no subject
Oh, yes, Tribbles are the cutest things. But they aren't a sentient
species.
However, if non-sentients count, too, then I'll mention the giant
eel-birds of Rigel V (I think it was Five, at least).
no subject
I think non-sentient species should count, because they're still aliens!
no subject
The Animated Series had the weirdesst ones. Remember the electric cat?
no subject
I don't think I ever saw that! I can't believe I missed it! I wonder if
it's on youtube anywhere, I'll have to check.
no subject
The drawing itself is really godawful, but some of the stories are
interesting. Yesteryear, for one, which gives wonderful insight into
Spock's childhood.
no subject
There are a few bits on youtube, I'll see if that one's among them.
Wonder how I never saw it - it must have been on in the UK, surely. Of
course, if it wasn't on BBC I wouldn't have seen it - my dad wouldn't let
us watch ITV when we were little because he didn't approve of advertising
on television. That seems so weird now, but at the time it was a new
channel and the only one with adverts. There were only 3 TV channels when
I was little, now there are hundreds, but there's still nothing I want to
watch most of the time, lol!

I must be a creep, as I really like Cardassians...
no subject
I find them fascinating, though that might be mostly Garak... Dukat
creeps me out.
no subject
Dukat is my favourite Star Trek villain. He's the personification of
creepy, and yet...
no subject
Creepy isn't necessarily a bad thing in a villain; it is certainly better
than cartoonish, which happens far too often.
no subject
I really like Dukat! Though he's probably not the type of character one
would wish to meet in real life...
no subject
That's why it is so nice to have him safely in a DVD-box.
no subject
Fiction is a wonderful invention!

No, you're just less easily freaked out than I.
no subject
Me too!

I'm sure I'd like the Vulcans if I'd seen more TOS, but the most
interesting species I've seen much of is probably the Cardassians. I
really enjoyed the hints of their culture that we saw, and I was sad that
most of the characters we met were military types. I'd have liked to have
seen more civilians.
Altariel's Cardassian pro-novels are simply wonderful!
