I think only the Enterprise gets the lettering privaledge, otherwise the Saratoga would be on wingdings by now.

Re: Star Trek (TOS) The Changling

For a show ostensibly about the power of humanity striking out into the stars there is a comical number of insane gods floating around that could blast us all to ash in an instant. Its very Lovecraftian... Granted Gene always just viewed them more as an annoyance... With their frequency you'd think...

Re: Hermit's Journey Part II

Will we lose all the previous comments we've made? Shouldn’t do; all the comments should get condensed into one thread. Only issue will be that they’ll be listed in date order of posted, so if someone commented on the pt1 thread a week after all the comments in the pt2 thread that comment would app...

If it wasn’t for the legal issues, I’d like to see Chuck dubbing over whole episodes with his parody characters.

Re: Is there a way to retcon super laser firepower diminishing in the atmosphere in SW?

Starships can’t move freely with the shield up. In Rogue One there’s that ring station that opens a gap in the shield and in Empire, unless I’m misremembering there’s mention of dropping the shield, and even if they don’t it’s possible that they are unidirectional somehow, letting things pass one wa...

Re: Janeway compilation

Also, shouldn’t we wait until every episode has been reviewed so they can all be compiled at once?

Re: Why is the Alpha Quadrant not under the Raptor's Wings

Writing all that out, another bit needs to be worked into the Romulans and that's the influence of the British Empire. ... I mean, how can you not draw from Perfidious Albion for your interstellar scheming empire!? Ah so that’s why illegal Romulan Ale is all over the Federation - it’s the Romulan’s...

Re: Replicated food vs real food

Well, like any milita- er, exploration & research organization, I expect the crew to be distilling their own alcohol in every last crevice in the ship. And where no crevices exist, I expect them to create some. Had some Russian torpedo bay distilled vodka once, I agree. Plus there's scotty.... Ther...

Re: Why is the Alpha Quadrant not under the Raptor's Wings

Do we know much about the other races nearby? If there were other Warp-capable races hailing from worlds nearby then they’d have to compete with those first; for example, when did Andorrans and Tellerites develop Warp and what were their military capabilities? There might even be Alpha and Beta Quad...

Re: Star Trek: Discovery - thoughts?

Hmm, shown like that they don’t look so bad. I suppose it doesn’t help that the only other bald Klingon we’ve ever seen was General Chang who had rather muted ridges so the contrast with these is all the more stark. Also they grey tones to their skin probably don’t help; even with the hair the first...
