Re: Ent: The Breach
I realize this is two years old or so, having to reply on this thread, but I think all of you missed an even bigger problem here, and that's Phlox himself (I won't call this quack a doctor). What this show demonstrated was that Phlox has a different medical ethical code than what is right and sane. ...

Re: TOS: A Taste of Armageddon
This episode really does kind of strike home for me, a veteran myself who got to see a serious glimpse into what a major war might look like in the future, where, if technology matures enough, we could see weapons deployed from the comfort of an air-conditioned room filled with computers thousands o...

Re: TNG - The Big Goodbye
As cliché as the Holodeck malfunction grew to be, there was a brief moment of good acting as everyone is shocked to find Whelan shot for real--the first instance of safeties being off. Can't help thinking that it really shouldn't be the safeties being in place that stop the holodeck from generating...

Re: TOS-The Squire of Gothos
Hey, Sisko punched him and got away with it. "You hit me, Picard never hit me?! "I'm not Picard" Heh-heh. I don't know if Q would've let Kirk or Commodore Wesley get away with hitting him. But you know they would've both gladly taken a shot or two. Kirk slapped Trelane, as if, rightly, he was a spo...

Re: TOS-The Squire of Gothos
The way His Awesomeness, James T. Kirk, handled Trelane was precisely how he would've handled Q. I submit that Q was punking PIcard throughout TNG. Maybe that wasn't the intention, but that's how it comes off to me. Because if Q tried that crap about humans are a "grievously savage child-race," and ...

Re: TNG: Peak Performance
That seems pretty long winded description for what amounts to technological development differences between pretty much any colonizing force and an indigenous one. I read through the last long winded one and this one seems to follow suit to basically describe what everybody already knows from 1950'...

Re: TNG: Peak Performance
Well, okay, but I'm still not clear as to how the Borg invasion was akin to anything regarding the Oil Crisis of the 70s. You might say that the West had overwhelming military and technological superiority over OPEC nations, but we didn't, at that point, go to war over them. The Indian nations, on t...

Re: Was Rey Wasted in the Disney Sequel Trilogy?
Yes. She was wasted, as were all the others. They had no plan going into this thing. If I were a shareholder in Disney, I'd have sold my stock and told Iger to get bent! Because there was no excuse. None whatsoever. They had the money, the time, and the talent. All except in one area: The Producer. ...

Re: TNG: Peak Performance
I think the economic oil crisis of the 70's was the basis for Wolf 359 I think you'd have to explain that for us. I saw the arrival of the Borg more or less to be something akin to the arrival mainly of the British to the New World, and then the subsequent formation of the United States. Prior, the...
