Re: Why do I get this way about Star Trek?

True, there is potential abuse of "No True Scotsman," but then, Star Trek seems uniquely suited to that, doesn't it? Given the many different "hats" it's worn over the years, from hard sci-fi to goofy comedy to rampant unintended silliness to fun space adventures to nature documentary to political ...

Re: Why do I get this way about Star Trek?

Maybe it's me submitting to my corporate overlords, maybe not. But when everyone can add to a franchise officially, when something is added it ceases to be notable. And then there's the other end of the spectrum, how often has it been the case where a fanwork has been notable because it's good? Bec...

Re: Why do I get this way about Star Trek?

On the topic of Trek and other long running franchises being in the public domain... no. I don't want that at all, it sounds like hell. These are harsh words, why do you think that? What precludes us from taking any word from either non-canonical products or fan-fiction seriously. While there would...

Re: Still KINOs?

It looks like a less velvety muppet. A scared muppet. Those prosthetics are way too smooth. My problem with the new Klingons has always been that the amount of putty on their faces has made it impossible for them emote. https://imgur.com/a/biwYaIl This made it necessary for them to emote like big br...

Re: Why do I get this way about Star Trek?

I actually had to go through all of this around the release of Star Trek (2009), I hated it, it was the culmination of everything I hated of the TNG movies. The first 5 minutes almost made me leave the cinema, the only reason I stayed was that I was in the middle of the row of seats. Impossible to l...

Re: How old were you when you first heard the term Pinku Eiga?

You are asking when I heard of pink movies, you know the western name that clearly was adopted by Japanese people to describe the same kind of movies that are present throughout the world. Two words that while logically bastardized to become pronounceable in Japanese, seems kinda culturally insensit...

Re: What's something from TOS and fan theory you'd love to see canonized by STD?

This topic just makes me think of what would count as canonizing. First of all, it'll be hard to canonize something if it's probable that the entire series will be retconned. But secondly, is just mentioning something canonizing? I think little things like putting Archer's name on the screen and men...

Hold... The... Camera... Still.....

Might be a homage to the nautical inspirations of starships, but I prefer not to get seasick when I watch a tv show.

Re: The one common Captain

Fed my beagle cheese. It died... I was sad... Confirmed how stupid Archer was... Maybe you should not have tried to stuff a 50kg wheel of Ghouda down it's throat. Zor Of course I wouldn't do that... That would be stupid... It was 3.5kg and cheddar... Only Vulcans would think that it would be " Ghou...
