Re: Hamas Attacks Israel

So I debated posting this or not, and I decided... if I'm gonna be damned, I'm gonna be damned for who I am. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/biden-says-israel-gaza-war-should-end-now-2024-07-11/ I'm gonna discuss why I personally think we didn't abandon Israel. Now, I admit, a lot of this...

Re: TNG: Sins of the Father

Picard in his prime would kick Archer's ass without breaking a sweat. Archer sucked anytime it came to fisticuffs. Hell I'd give even Harry Kim a chance against him. I tend to agree. I'd argue however, that Picard met something that drained fighter-levels somewhere between the Nausicaan's stabbing ...

Re: SNW: All Those Who Wander

https://sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/w109.php This is one video where I can't agree with Chuck on how the show handled the Gorn. -I don't buy the "it's the opposite of what VOY did to the Borg, so it's fine I guess" reason, because overcompensating for any flaws can sometimes be just as bad. It's l...

Re: ENT: Chosen Realm

I think it was obvious at the time the inspiration was directly or indirectly the Islamic Jihadists. Or in my case: insurgents when I was in the military at the time. However offhand, I cannot seem to think of what other religions would have done differently in an extremist sect if given 'full perm...

I have spent 10 years building my followers and use as an advertising platform as an indie author.

But Musk has somehow caused it's value to halve.
That's what happens in real life when you let a Randian* ubermensch off his leash.

Re: Voyager: Rise

Neelix is someone who is clearly, fundamentally messed up, and people like that tend not to be someone that you want to spend time with if it is avoidable. One thing that gets overlooked, and to be fair remembering it involves some baaad episodes, is that he's basically someone whose family was at ...

Re: Star Trek: Strange new worlds

Voyager, as good as TNG? Maybe the poorer early seasons of TNG, at most. I said, "Voyager, for instance, certainly wasn't as consistently good as TNG , but when they did hit the right marks it was pretty close." Generally, Voyager was worse than TNG, often much worse (though I think the worst of Vo...

Re: Star Trek: Picard Season 2

"Sci-fi is about now" Nope, sci-fi is the use of imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life, either set in the future or in an alternate world (but not fantasy world, since at that point ...

Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

"This video is not available" Must be region-locked I guess. I can't get it either. Does this one work? https://www.startrek.com/videos/watch-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-teaser-trailer That one wants me to remove my ad blocker.
