On second thoughts perhaps I do have nostalgia for cassettes, but that's it - nostalgia. A reminder of my youth, that sort of thing, brings a bit of a smile to my face for just that reason but not something I'm particularly interested in actually using any more, other than occasionally for the "brin...

Why did they make a Galaxy-Class the Federation flagship anyway? And what does that title even mean in the context of this flying daycare? It is not the first into battle, it is not serving as a command and control ship, it is not flying the admiral's flag. When Sisko was put in charge of the war e...

I wonder how many of those will be dropped entirely when he is in power. Also wonder what his retaliation will be for everyone involved in his criminal cases. I mean, the Department of Justice is not doing any charges now. It's pointless to discuss post-2028 because he'll probably be dead by then. ...

I don't have any nostalgia for cassettes (well, not enough to actually bother using them since my ancient cassette player started chewing every single one as the rubber on the rollers hardened), so that is an example of the newer technology being preferable, it's just that the advantages aren't anyw...

Having the families of the crew reside aboard a warship is fantastically stupid, and immoral. It's a Luxury belief that comes from having so much in the way of resources and power that one becomes stupid; "stupid rich."

Going on about "nostalgia" and rose tinted glasses often seems to be nothing more than attempting to defend current crap. If you dig deeper it's frequently a case of "and I thought that was bad..." It's telling that there's not much nostalgia for, say, TNG season 1. Cassettes were shit. They held a...

A lot of this probably can be blamed on Roddenberry. An interesting chap, being a USAF man he didn't seem to know much about the Navy. For example, he seemed to think that ''Commodore'' was still a navy rank even though according to Wiki the last two were in the 1880s and was even then only ever aw...

Possibly, Iran isn't ruled by people with their heads screwed on either.

I MEAN Asari aren't women. You can't have women if everyone of your species is the same gender. We just call them women cause they most resemble females of every other species and can give birth and have mammaries. But they AREN'T female, biologically. Socially and mentally, sure, but NOT physicall...
