Sig Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Happened to have a chance to watch Star Trek TNG - First Contact last night. Patrick Stewart (PS) playing Jean-Luc Picard captain was being pursued by the Borg inside the Enterprise, he runs into the holideck and programs in a 20's bar scene. PS ends up turning off the holidec safety protocols (where no living creature can be harmed) and then seeks a THOMPSON that is part of the holidec program. PS ends up dispatching a couple Borg with a few bursts from our favorite weapon. I liked it. I remember another scene from the first Star Trek series were they were using Thompsons as well. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTD Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Has anyone else read any of Stephen Hunter's novels? The fictional novels cover 3 generations of the Swagger Family, whose male members are all involved in either law enforcement or the military. In the 2000 novel "Hot Springs" Earl Swagger, a WWII medal of honor winner just home from the Marines, takes on the task of cleaning up the criminal elements in the wide open town of 1946 Hot Springs, Arkansas - with the help of some of his friends and their trusty Thompsons. It's a great read; Steven Hunter is a real gun nut [i have met him] and gets the facts right when writing about guns. He even references Tracie Hill's book in his acknowledgements. Don't miss it!
