    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    ...email said they'd be on Sundays, so they're probably replacing some sitcom marathons. Or maybe Wild Kingdom, which I don't imagine is a huge ratings magnet. No, but we saw him seeing it. It seemed pretty suggestive to me. :rommie: Aha. :rommie: Definitely not possible, but it would have...

    Ride or Die: Defend Your Favorite "Bad" Episodes

    Like some others, I'm weirdly fond of "Code of Honor" and "The Naked Now," and I'm recently on record as a defender of "Masks." I did not know that "Conundrum" needed defending, particularly, but I'm on the same page as the OP with that one. So I'm going to give some props to "Too Short a...

    Ride or Die: Defend Your Favorite "Bad" Episodes

    I'll do a mix of "fan consensus" examples, plus a couple from my own personal list of "eww, I'd rather make it with my ex than to see this one ever again" episodes that I utterly loathe. Which is impressive as it's far easier to loathe my ex than to lov-- but I digress. "Rascals" may be the...

    Kamen Rider and General Tokusatsu

    Well, yes, obviously, but I'm not talking about violence in general, I'm talking about a preoccupation with cannibalism in particular.

    The Blood & Gore factor are limited to more Adult Ratings for more "Mature Productions"?

    The implication of the "Greek Gods" being aliens

    ...from there. TOS was about appealing to the mass audience, as most shows were. Being more expensive, any Estimator would have to factor in ratings versus cost (remember the 1978 Battlestar Galactica having decent ratings, just not enough.) BSG wasn't made for a niche group of people, even if...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Because that relationship was there and it was stupid. I mean, they are people who are upset about the Kes/Neelix relationship and in that case we actually had a relationship between a 19 year old alien and a 30 or so alien. The Kim/Linnis relationship pushed it further. Which is one of many...

    The implication of the "Greek Gods" being aliens

    ...documentary or news perhaps. Few shows were as forward seeing as say, Twilight Show. To make the networks happy, they needed advertisers and ratings, which meant viewers had to be happy. So you had to make the show palatable to the regular TV viewer for your best chance at getting those...

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    I just rewatched 31 for the first time in about 9 months. It certainly wears well. I continue to like the spirit of it and is a fun movie. I'm not changing my rating at all. I think fans forget Gene Roddenberry promoted Trek as an entertaining action-adventure. My biggest takeaway now as it...

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    The Klingons in season 1 were a Valiant effort to freshen up a race that became boring. They added history from literature, deepened the culture, gave us technological rationalization and made them more alien, as well as giving their language center stage. Most of the history I liked, but...

    Spoilers A Complete (I Hope) DISCO Rewatch

    This episode is a solid one but not remarkable. It's a good for some Burnham development and it looks pretty spectacular. Overall, it feels like more of an aside, though not filler.

    Spoilers Stranger Things - Season 5

    I always knew it would resurface this way. I never bought for a second they'd written that off completely, despite the public outcry. I just kept yelling in the back of my head "But there's another one out there!" LOL I agree they've shoehorned in quite a lot of exposition & contrivance, but...

    Starfleet Academy Official Trailer

    Only the terminally-online would think that online outlets represent the entirety of fandom, or that ratings by online critics/audiences are a viable metric for indicating what everyone thinks. Everything you're listing there is feeding into your confirmation bias.

    A Gift from Alpha Point and the U.S.S. Solare - Snowflakes

    Hexagonal Plate Snowflakes and Blackhole Geometries. If a water drop is able to create an infinite number of snowflakes based on the same water drop being converted to a snowflake, then back to water and then to a snowflake, such as aboard the ISS where there is less gravity, and we are able to...

    What would you change in Star Trek: Enterprise to make it better?

    Don’t call the ship Enterprise if its set a hundred years before TOS. Call it the Dauntless or the Yorktown. Or transition from one hero starship to another over the series. If the show’s supposed to be about the first Enterprise, then it should have been about the adventures of Robert April...

    Why Didn't Harry Get Promoted?

    I'm not absolutely sure of that. If we look at season 3, it seems like Kes were about to have a more prominent role in the series. We had episodes like Warlord with focus on Kes, we had The Swarm where Kes played an important role when it came to saving The Doctor, we had Before And After...

    Your latest purchases, cont.

    It costs in Australia - $600 - which equates to US$392. I also got two extra gifts, which I'll give out as Christmas presents for nieces and nephews. I haven't brought any lego in a long time. I just felt like spoiling myself when I saw that it was happening a few months ago.

    TNGTM pg 55 Warp Factor vs Power chart equation

    On a slightly different but related tangent: The Ironic thing is that Geordi stated in New Ground stated that the 'Power Efficiency' of the energy of the Soliton Wave converted to the Soliton Wave Rider to go to warp was 98% That statement to me implies that however the Enterprise is...

    TNGTM pg 55 Warp Factor vs Power chart equation

    Ok so I’ve owed a calculation of fuel consumption for a Galaxy class starship to this thread for a little while. It is stated that the Galaxy’s 3000 cubic meter (m3) is enough for a normal mission period of three years. It is elsewhere in the book stated that the ship’s propulsion system is...

    Canada probably doesn't have as high a tariff, as the US does now.
