I've just re-watched Star Trek: Generations out of boredom and had serious WTF-moment when the Enterprise got shot down by that Bird of Prey.
I mean what was Riker thinking! Even though the Klingons had the shield frequency the Enterprise should have been abel to trash that little sucker of a 20 YEARS OLD Bird of Prey! In fact Riker should have been able to destroy the Klingons in one pass. In one properly executed overhead pass the Enterprise would have been able to clobber the Bird of Prey with six phaser emitters, saucer-section ventral(ventral was down, right?) emitter, engineering-section frontal-ventral emitter, the two Warpnacelle pylon emitters and the two aft-ventral emitters, and could have hosed it with torpedoes at the beginning and at the end of the passing.

Funny I've never thought of that before...

"No. Little green blobs in bonded polycarbite-armor!"
