STARSHIP MARK IX (Cruiser)
The Fourth Generation Starship Commission was formed on AD 18462.4, tasked with creating a coherent strategy for the replacement of the Mark V Frigates and Mark VI Cruisers before those ships began reaching the end of their useful life. (Both Star Fleet and the...
So why haven't they shown Human ESPers being naturally born in all this time?
There's been plenty of episodes since the very first one.
The subject matter hasn't bothered to come up again.
In TNG (Unnatural Selection), the human kids that have TK & TP were Genetically Engineered to have those...
Essentially, it means that while Mitchell could guess things he shouldn't know otherwise correctly at a higher rate than most people, he had never and could never manipulate objects with his mind or create them out of thin air before he got zapped.
Our opinions also don't mean a thing. Likewise some MA user's interpretation of ESPer ratings also don't mean much. The Franchise's owners opinion on the other hand does.
...value.
How often do we see "Human" ESPers outside of TOS?
Especially those that are naturally born with said ESPer powers?
As far as ESPer ratings.
I'm inclined to believe that Dr. Dehner wasn't born with ESPer powers but gained it some how later on in life.
Just like Gary Mitchell gained...
When they expanded on details, she wasn't naturally psychic. She gained those abilities via bonding with a non-corporeal entity.
But before exposure to "Strange Energies", Gary Mitchell might be highly rated for ESPer abilities, but he didn't have said powers until exposure.
There might be some...
And even if it is just one, it shows your statement "We know that within the Trek Universe, Humans don't have ESPer like powers naturally" to be false. WNMHGB establishes that humans are rated for ESPer abilities, so probably more than one.
It wasn’t really a nosedive, more a steady decline. The only nosedives were when the audience would peak again for a new Doctor, then plummet for the series proper.
More at the ‘well, it’s better than nothing’ stage.
My understanding, whiich I think came from articles in Doctor Who Magazine, is that the ratings took a nosedive during the Capaldi era, though a lot of people like to blame the Whittaker/Chibnall era. For viewers who started with Tennant or Smith, a significantly older and harsher Doctor was not...
I like this. And I look forward to season 7 so I can reassess Ezri. A couple of folk here have rated her highly whereas I really didn’t like that character the first time through. (I’m only on my third pass, and it’s been a couple of years since the second.) How much of that was because I was...
I'm currently rewatching ENT (am in the middle of season 4) and find I still like it, maybe even a bit more than the first time, contrasting it with DSC.
I already liked it 20 years ago, because for me, VOY had been the first huge disappointment in the franchise -- so I placed much hopes in...
They're not giving Ford enough credit for his own demise. :rommie:
Right on!
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Specifically Burns and Allen selling cigarettes. :rommie:
Off the shelf and proud.
Heh. He does seem to have lost a lot of weight.
:rommie:
Did you read the episode descriptions...
...a 1992 SNL political special, presenting line graphs that showed how SNL's early popularity ascending at the same time that Ford's approval ratings were descending, suggesting that Chevy's portrayal of Ford as a bumbling fool might be responsible. In fact, I think it was the intro to the...
That's how the publishing industry has worked for generations. The idea is that the publisher takes the hit if a book doesn't sell, thereby encouraging retailers to stock the book in the first place.
As I understand it, this started as a "temporary" incentive plan that long ago became...
...of the early censorship comes from, like Hell being called HIFL and referring to death as being sent to "the next dimension"
Due to poor ratings and Saban scaling down their operations it was cancelled and Funimation switched to dubbing it in house, which lead to casting most of the western...
