I don't want to get this thread moved to P&R, but here are stats on where the US Military come from. https://www.governing.com/archive/military-civilian-active-duty-employee-workforce-numbers-by-state.html The list starts with California and Texas as should be expected, but doesn't proceed in...

We don't know how long Vulcans had warp before Earth, but it seems to have been at least 1000 years. And they had been looking at Earth in the 20th century. They used their warp drives. But despite that, Starfleet is out charting the galaxy in the 23rd century. It could be that the Vulcans...

Their sabers are orange and they are different from Sith because they aren't Sith-y actually. Baylen was a Jedi that escaped Order 66 and now he is a mercenary. He's willing to do things a Jedi wouldn't have and he has some power ambitions, but I don't think he is on the Dark Side.

I was probably always on a collision course with reality. It is hard for me to accept the new Scotty whose accent is quite different. And it is ironic really, because he is a true Scotsman and James Doohan wasn't. But they just don't match for me. Did James Doohan every say Leftenant?

Other species prefer to stay home. Or maybe Starfleet doesn't pay a salary so only the super socialist planets can stomach the idea of signing up. Maybe the vast majority of the Federation members have very limited resources. But I actually think a great portion of the workers on the lower...

What sort of billionaire uses a bail bondsman?

I think he really is pretty tall. Edit - Manhattan booked him at 6' 2'' and 244 lb.

Intrepid is a Starfleet ship with a Vulcan captain who selected only Vulcans for his crew so that the ship wouldn't stink. But...I guess I can't prove it. I feel certain that they still have their own science vessels. Maybe not? I similarly think the Klingon War flashback epsisode halfway...

Someone good at making memes can have my idea for free. "Their heroes always used to surrender in Virginia."

I just don't see the Vulcans finding a spatial anomaly in their own system and calling Starfleet to check it out. They have a fleet of science vessels that respectable Vulcans work on instead of Starfleet.

Yeah, it's weird. Frankly, I had been pretty mystified about the whole everything surrounding "When is Thrawn returning" stuff. I don't know. Why isn't he ready yet? It makes sense that he is just stranded. And the thing they've constructed LOOKS like a giant hyperspace ring, but could it...

Oh, I know. I guess I didn't organize my thinking well on paper. I meant to acknowledge that as far as we know they haven't REALLY paid for their incompetence yet. But they are just so dumb and weak.

Eridani isn't one of the stars Vulcans see in the night sky. It is one of the stars they see in the day sky.

I guess that the New Republic was badly stung and embarrassed by The Force Awakens, but continued to be a thing. Man is it ever hard to feel sorry for these guys.

The Spock fully human episode opened on a conceit that I couldn't follow. It was too distracting to me to think that on a 5 year exploration mission, the Enterprise would go survey a planet IN THE ERIDANI SYSTEM. Vulcans have been in space for like 1000 years longer and science is what they...

Early reviews said these episodes were bogged down by catching viewers up who didn't watch Rebels. Admittedly, we stopped the second episode early because one of us was falling asleep, but I watched most and while I could agree that the episodes were a little slow it wasn't for the reason...

Opening crawl says Ahsoka was a Jedi Knight in the Old Republic.

I am watching "How Would That Feel" on YouTube now, La'an's first song. I thought I caught her out and looked her up. She really is British. But when she sings "flights of fancy" it sounds like she is an American struggling to keep her fake accent singing.

I have seen almost as much SNW as any of you now. I went into the musical episode expecting to agree with Copper Bezel, but it didn't happen. I expected to have it prove out that the musical probably had to be thrown together in a couple of weeks and it would be a train wreck, but actually in...

I guess machines build most electronics these days, but they have to be designed by a person. And if anyone wants it repaired instead of replaced when it breaks, a person needs to do that.
