    That Starbase 11 wall chart - noe in slide form

    At the risk of provoking certain debates, it's possible that "colony resupply ship" might be used to drop personnel and/or equipment* during the operation rather than being one of the ships engaging Klingon warships in combat. *Perhaps similar to the company from The Siege of AR-558, but...

    That Starbase 11 wall chart - noe in slide form

    Eagle was only identified by a silhouette, which could therefore be a different ship with a similar footprint. It's a funny one, because Okuda usually took numbers from Jein's list, or the SFTM. This one he freelanced for some reason, making it something of an oddity. In his ubiquitous mission...

    That Starbase 11 wall chart - noe in slide form

    Just my two cents, but the Constellation fits nicely enough if you go with the idea that the Enterprise was a ship with "some history", if I recall Roddenberry properly. The use of "The Cage" in a wrapper was both expedient and helped flesh out the universe in exactly that manner. But, if the...

    Warp vs Genesis (TNG 7 x 19) What counts as bad science in Trek? And why nitpick?

    By the definitions of today, you are correct. But your vision is too limited. I recall a 1986 issue of 'American Scientist ' that brought together the top minds of Science Fiction... Their conclusion was that most Science Fiction Authors were too unimaginative in their thinking. Why...

    Tron: Ares

    I guess, if you don't succeed, try and try again? This sounds a lot like what happened with another recent movie where the director claimed his movie was misunderstood and wanted to re-release it into theatres to get a better rating. Directors these days seem to demand respect rather than earn...

    Re-Watching DS9

    "OUR MAN BASHIR" is my most rewatched episode in the entire franchise. It is just supreme fun! The best thing about this premise: it's a 'holodeck gone wrong' episode without it ACTUALLY going wrong! It's doing precisely what it's supposed to do. And the play on Bond and other spy genre...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10 - "The New Next Generation"

    :shrug: At any rate, I forgot that I was going to mention that the "Schroedinger field" reminds me of something you'd get out of an infinite improbability generator (with some really hot Earl Grey for input).

    The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

    More likely they're just taking the same approach TWD always did regarding the comics in that when they did bring something into the show from the comics, they did not always slavishly duplicate it as it was in the comics. Maybe they are going to do some sort of adaptation of The Alien, which I...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    This is what I was getting at with the second part - I think you're right that ultimately, Star Trek for most people - and in the cultural memory - ends up being Kirk, Spock, and the NCC-1701. It's hard to tell since it's all anecdotal, but TNG already seems to be undergoing a critical...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    ...look at the diminishing returns from the TNG movies to the popularity of Picard. Even the much vaunted season 3 of Picard couldn't manage ratings any better than Strange New Worlds, and it had the entire original cast. TNG may have ruled the '90s, but Kirk and Spock are still the beating...

    The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

    The strength of TWD TV franchise has always been character development first, horror second, and to that end, TWD TV series still hit new peaks (inconsistently in some shows), while most superhero movies are so soulless, where characters have no more depth than a video game character or a bad...

    The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

    ...in Jeff Grimes? It could be they are trying to see the Internet buzz (if any) about the Jeff Grimes reference, and if people see it as a cheap ploy, or something they are genuinely excited about... and then perhaps also connected to the ratings, to see if it is worth their while bringing...

    That Starbase 11 wall chart - noe in slide form

    My opinions: Not surviving, rather newly configured for a 5YM. There are 10 as of stardate ~2950 (Court Martial), and 12 as of stardate ~3100 (Tomorrow is Yesterday) <note: Airdate Order is swapped compared to both Stardate Order and Production Order.> Correct, we see two class ships (some...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I know that Nemesis was released in the US on the same day as Harry Potter II, The Lord of the Rings II, and James Bond: Die Another Day. However, instead of releasing simultaneously in other countries, it was released in two or three countries each month for six or seven months. For example, it...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ENT wasn't exactly setting the fandom and the Nielsen ratings on fire over on UPN, and NEM happened to drop at the box office at a bad time for a Trek movie to debut.

    Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

    I want more Luke Cage and Jessica Jones but I feel like it really all falls on the second season of Daredevil getting good ratings. Without that I am not sure they would return to those Netflix shows again. Except maybe with the Punisher.

    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    50 Years Ago This Week September 21 Frank G. Zarb, head of the U.S. Federal Energy Administration, announced that the President had rescinded part of a $2.00 per barrel fee on imported oil, reducing the price per barrel of refined petroleum products to $1.40. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia...

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    And ABC getting the broadcast rights to Bond films meant this travesty of editing was created for the purposes of network ratings. It's absolutely painful to watch even clips from the original 1976 broadcast.

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    ...to tie up the character stories P+ instead agreed to a 6 episode 5th season. Trust me in that if a studio is diseased with the direction or ratings performance of a series they will cancel it rather then renew and decide to spend more money producing new episodes. Also, you can guarantee...
