Re: (DS9) Sons and Daughters

In-Universe: I agree with Ron Moore on the idea that families on starships was an experiment (remember, the Enterprise wasn't the only ship with them) that was started in the antebellum years that proceeded Wolf 359. The Klingons, for all intents and purposes, had been "tamed" (for the most part), ...

Re: Star Trek (DS9): Valiant

Captain Nog... There's an image. Given everything he goes through over the series, I can definitely see it. He'd probably make a damn good one too.

Re: Dias De Los Muertos (B5)

Maybe by the time of B5 and interstellar travel, there are far too many things to interfere with an electronic interface, so people have gone back to paper (or paper substitutes) because the information can be transferred without that greater risk of damage. Similar to how one of the greatest method...

Re: What is Captain Janeway's biggest mistake?

Both of your ideas are good; crew going native would have really differentiated Voyager from TNG, and would have facilitated story arc-based writing. I've always wished the Year of Hell was real, so that'd be great too. The way things went was pretty good, though; Season 4 was probably the high poi...

Re: What is Captain Janeway's biggest mistake?

Ironically, that word is not in the bit you quoted, so I'm just confused again. :P I'm still doing daring one-on-one battle with the BBCode of sites like this, I can never get used to it. :P Well, here's a good question: How would you have fixed this mistake? I've always thought that Season 4 shoul...

Re: What is Captain Janeway's biggest mistake?

Voyager didn't have a weapon of mass destruction until they partnered with the Borg to develop it, so that's a non sequitur. This is more like having the scientists on your team help the Nazis build an atom bomb. There's just no way to defend it. In hindsight, sure. In that present moment is more q...

Re: Star Trek (ENT): First Flight

Well, according to the powers-that-be at Star Trek, if it ain't on screen, it ain't canon. That's a bit of a shame because there are a lot of good off-screen stuff made by a lot of talented people, and it's a real disservice to a lot of them that what they made, licenced by the franchise itself, is...

Re: Star Trek (ENT): First Flight

It's one of the reasons I can never take Starfleet seriously, especially TNG onward. One might say that Kirk behaved similarly when he stole the Enterprise out of Spacedock to save Spock, and I would agree, but at least he was called on the carpet for it and was slapped on the wrist. If he wasn't t...

Re: Caretaker (VOY)

Which was sad. Mutiny should've always been a possibility throughout the series, especially under the command of this megalomaniac. I think it was rather an act of cowardice on the part of the producers not to keep that going, to make it so that Janeway has to continually earn the loyalty and respe...

Re: What is Captain Janeway's biggest mistake?

Seriously, if you were dealing with a horde of space zombies from another dimension trying to invade your home and assimilate you and your people, you'd be malevolent and hateful too. Deja vu. I think... Making such a major decision without understanding the situation is 100% on Janeway, though. Ye...
