Re: TNG - The Masterpiece Society

Sisko invoked PD only once. He may have only spoken the word once, but he committed the PD dozens of times. During the Javert arc, Sisko pogrommed all known Maquis planets. Ain't nothing more Prime Directive-y than genocide.

Re: TNG - The Big Goodbye

Isn't Chuck a former History teacher who now specialises in fiction? Or am I misremembering his former occupation? He certainly is/was a teacher. I don't remember the subject coming up. Episode STNG war games and fat guy playing stratagema. Ryker was smugger than usual "Combat is a MINOR duty of a ...

Re: TNG - The Big Goodbye

Picard MUST memorize the speech. He may not hold a paper nor a padd.
Likewise, Aliens demand audio-only until the speech is given.
How will the Aliens know that he is not reading a paper?

Obviously, Aliens have their own Troii telepath to detect reading.
This explains why Troii coaches Picard.

Re: VOY - Prey

However, I'd say the education of Seven of Nine did pose some problems. She wanted to encourage her individuality, but also was running a ship with a military command structure. The two situations ARE going to clash at some point. On top of that, here we have her being expected to follow an order w...

Re: TOS - Immunity Syndrome

As for the ridiculousness of the concept ... I'll admit, I'm by no means well-versed in exobiology, but to me it seems far more plausible that a planet-sized single-celled organism could exist than that life on alien planets would evolve to look exactly like humans (not counting some pointy ears or...

Re: In Defense of Star Trek V

The Crew are very, VERY suggestible, as they are nearly unable to make decisions on their own. This looks exactly like mind control. Main characters resist mind control because they are main characters is straight out of Pitch Meeting https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pitch+meeting I love...

Re: VOY - Real Life (Torre's is sadistic) SPOILERS

1) Holograms are people too... rarely EMH, Moriarty, Vic Fontaine and all the Rioses in Picard are shown to be people. EHM's family, Fairhaven etc are all toasters. Torres did not murder real people yet. 2) Torres broke EHM's toys, she broke his toys so thoroughly that he never played with them. Th...

Re: Rowling writes novel about a man who dresses as a woman to kill women

JKR tried to tick the boxes, but not enough.
Villain is male, straight, cis het White man, all the things that SJW loathe, but then she made the Villain a murderer. Doesn't JKR know how offensive that is to the murderer community? Is JKR murderphobic?
