As another poster said, there's a huge difference between making an allegory of a contemporary event, and flat out having the current event in Star Trek. What if in "Let that be your Last Battlefield" Kirk had made Bele and Lokai watch the "I Have a Dream" speech? The attitudes of 1969 were such tha...

I love this! Most of the episode was great, I'm not quite as fond of the shoehorning of the current events into the episode, but I was able to look past that, and very glad that I did. That was the only weak part of the episode to me, but the episode was more than enough to bring me back the next we...

ENT really dropped the ball with Star Trek's first main female Vulcan. Spock/Tuvok were calm, measured, loyal, intelligent, rational, logical truthful to a fault and considered sex to be shameful or at least something you did not talk about. T'Pol is racist, judgemental, petty, over-emotional, a dr...

I was re-watching the review of TNG's "Timescape" and Chuck brings up the issue of the computer keyboard making sounds while Picard was poking it after being told by Data that it wouldn't work. There is one possibility, since time wasn't frozen, just greatly slowed down, it's possible the computer w...

The Sheliak threat isn't explained well enough for me. Are they comparable with the Federation? Because we never hear of them again. It seems to me that the episode points to them being just some small time regional power who are threatening the big boys of the galaxy. I really cannot help but thin...

I agree with the OP, I don't think a 7 is warranted, but I could definitely see 5 and maybe 6. As to whether a treaty with a lower lifeform could exist, think about dogs. They are scientifically a lower lifeform than we are, yet we still train them to follow commands well. Perhaps the Sheliak to Hum...

I want to see "The Ensigns of Command" and see what Chuck says about Picard sticking it to the planet of lawyers. "A Matter of Perspective" and making comments about Riker's love life would be funny too! "Emergence" where the Enterprise becomes a life form and the holodeck with the incongrous train...

Before I knew about the above semi-canon, I think mine was a little more subtle. I don't think I ever worked out concrete details, but it was more along the lines of the Enterprise is able to hold off the Klingons long enough to rescue the ship, or the Klingons only stay on one side of the ship so t...

I believe it all Chuck. I had two friends that rented a house, with similar jury-rigged and questionable heritage, then they moved into a new house that an attempt had been made to update...until the last owner ran out of money. Both houses have had similar, and multiple WTF moments, with me pointin...
