Oh, come on. I distinctly remember Kirk using tactics once, in the
second
movie. In fact, he used the third dimension and a big smoke screen
(nebula)
to come up behind the Reliant! Unfortunately, the Organians rescinded
that
tactic as throwing the balance of power out of whack. For that reason,
the Q
continuum was called in to change the universe from a sphere (or a three
dimensional saddle, if you're a Hawking fan) into a big pizza, kind of
like
a big, flattened cylinder. In this respect, the 2D tabletop of Full
Thrust
is actually quite realistic for the Star Trek universe.

I'd prefer the term Dual Phase Oral Logic Destabilizer, myself.

So, have you seen the first new episode since Kosh was killed? I once
thought the Borg were the most interesting aliens on TV, but they're
wimps
beside the Vorlons and the Shadows. 

And Picard never had to order a man and his ship to its death! All this
and
political assassination too! I love Monday nights...
