Re: Can someone own a ship in Star Trek?

"The End Is the Beginning". Picard asks for "an off the books unregistered pilot" and Raffi connects him with Rios. When I watched it I assumed he was a smuggler or some such (most likely Raffi's dealer) and that was why but I don't think it's ever explained. Wouldn't that make Rios unregistered no...

Re: Republicans try to control what haircuts kids get

"without limitation changes in clothing, pronouns, hairstyle, and name.”
So person named Dana, male or female name? They just made a given name illegal or are trying to?
Isn't the without limitation the definition of too broad for a proper law?

Re: Can someone own a ship in Star Trek?

See, Sisko's dad wanting a resturant, I can buy. But WHO wants to be the WAITER?! No, you have to EARN that shit. To me, the Federation has no money but you earn 'credits' for jobs done. Like favors. Pure merit stuff, and while Picard has his huge vineyard, he clearly has to produce to keep it and ...

Re: Can someone own a ship in Star Trek?

In TNG, basic needs are met. Food, water, roof over your head. Free and advanced healthcare. Etc. So if you want to live on Earth and live as a basket weaver as a profession. You wont have a problem. You want to go visit Vulcan? Book a spot on some starship going there. Want to do a pleasure vacati...

Re: Can someone own a ship in Star Trek?

Can someone own a starship in the Federation in Star Trek? No I don't mean those planets that are obviously using currency to acquire things. I am talking about the planets like Earth for example where wealth isn't a thing. Everything is provided for. Presumably a replicator in every house sort of ...

Re: Babylon 5 - Tragedy of Telepaths

Honestly considering what this episode happens to set up. I think the Londo/G'Kar plot is the actual A plot and the telepaths are the B plot so they can cut away from the pair. And I like how Chuck rephrases the authority system. Londo laments it is a facet of a monarchy. But similar stories also co...

Re: Hypothetical Question: You Have Bought BioWare and all it's IPs, What do you do with it?

Do they have access to star wars? It's complicated, they kinda of do and kinda don't, copyright laws are confusing and make no sense. I do not get that. How do you lose the voice lines when you have access to the original game? Couldn't you just get a copy of the first version and pull the lines? A...

Re: Hypothetical Question: You Have Bought BioWare and all it's IPs, What do you do with it?

BioWare has, obviously, been on my mind as of late and I got a lot of my Veilguard Remake post. Just about all of us agree BioWare is pretty much dead with the only chance it has being if Mass Effect 5 manages to pull off miracle. But what if there was a way to save BioWare. What if we somehow beca...

Re: Should BioWare Focus on Remasters for the Foreseeable Future?

My first reaction was basically something like Kirk's from ST6, "Let them die". They may not have killed a family member or blew up my ship, but dangit, they hurt me. Hurt my time, and hurt my feelings, and made me feel like a fool for ever getting invested in the first place. Then I read KOTOR and...
