    Star Trek General Discussion

    I honestly love hate the idea. Why not just store your pet in the computer when it's not in use? But Spot and Grudge cause minimal problems just hanging out, so that doesn't really seem to be a *large* problem. Maybe it's worse if you don't have your own personal quarters. I actually wouldn't...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Runabouts are just big shuttles, and they land them on planets all the time. Sometimes without even crashing or being stranded! One G and one atmosphere is entirely normal operating conditions for them. (Obviously they can't go to warp while in atmospheric flight but nothing can. 😁) No, the...

    Y'ain't getting it. You give a kid a choice between a T-65 X-Wing starfighter and a Type 6 shuttlecraft and they're going home with the X-Wing every time. Every time. Because it's cool.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    The Hur'q are a species that invaded the Klingons, and the Klingons' own first contact with an alien species. The Hur'q are dead now. Targs are simply Klingon dogs. The Eugenics War happened in 1992. (SNW has retconned this as "tomorrow", for any given "today", and WoG is that the Eugenics War...

    Oh, I know, I considered using a First Contact one-liner too. 😁 Lily's standing in to teach Picard the same lesson. Hope you get a chance to check it out! It's the one Disco season arc that actually pays off, though with some pacing issues.

    I have no doubt, because revenge is a thing, but that's not a very good reason to kill it if there's another option. Again, there probably isn't one, but there's genuinely no reason not to try. I don't think it's complicated. Jellicoe on the other hand did nothing wrong.

    It's a long shot, but if you have the option to try, it's the best option. The worst case scenario seems to be that it does just go and work at Target, and you don't get to destroy it. Unfortunately, destroying it doesn't do the dead people any good either.

    I don't remember the details of the episode and am only going on what's presented in the clip here, but I don't agree, I don't think this is one of those bad moments for Picard. The Enterprise can easily overpower the crystalline entity and they're currently chasing it down. They're not taking...

    Yes. And Fahrenheit 451 had AirPods in 1953.

    Whoever you're quoting seems to know what they're talking about, but are you following? Why is it desirable to you that Star Trek would have changed itself to support a popular line of toys? The last time Gene Roddenberry came up, you were deeply convicted that the man could do no wrong. Well...

    Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation

    You want the show to sell toys? Are you being for real right now? You'd have to change the whole ethos of the series into something amenable to like, space power armor, giant alien slug monsters, transforming starfighters, giant arm mounted phaser blasters, and oh jive guys I think Disco S2-3...

    Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation

    I feel the need to state the obvious for some reason, but Star Trek is so ill-suited to children's toys that the existence of Star Wars isn't just not a relevant comparison, it's an illustration. Pick anything in Star Wars that works incredibly well in toys - star fighters, role play...

    I read it a bit differently in that I thought the baby really was one of the Hundred Changelings, but due to the nature of the Link, it didn't really die, it just lost its ability to be an independent entity. Everything it was is still alive in Odo, but the potential it represented as a new...

    He is though. He was raised by his human adoptive parents since he was five or six, but chose to fully embrace his Klingon background since, in spite of the friction that sometimes results from that in a Federation environment. He's patterned himself after the ideals that represents to him...

    I don't think you should feel bad for a thread. They don't actually have feelings. I know that's not popular to say but it's true. And no, this thread shouldn't have been a separate one to begin with. Currently running shows get threads because weekly episode discussions would squash any other...
