Definitely in character for Klingons to have the torpedo tubes, forward sensor array, and navigational deflector in one convenient location. I will note that at least the original version of the AMT model kit *does* have a spike in the center of the part, which suggests the spike on certain...

Well, 20 years after "Balance of Terror," since there was no contact with the Romulans before then. But then, why not fudge ST V's 20 years instead of TWOK's 15 years? After all, it was Caithlin Dar who mentioned that figure, so she could've been speaking in Romulan or Nimbian years. And even...

The jump from 15 to 18 years was likely to keep the events of TWOK closer to The Final Frontier, which has to be set 20 years after Day of the Dove, approximately? That's my assumption about things, anyway. To shorten the gap between films. Also, Generations made it very difficult to fit TWOK...

My Mustang came with a useless tire inflation kit. I bought a full size wheel from Ford, for about the price they charge for a donut spare, got a matching z rated tire and TPM sensor and had a full size spare. Within 30 miles, of getting the 4 new tires, I had to use the full size spare, because...

I actually enjoyed their conversation here. Robbie, in particular, admits his thinking on the episode swung wildly, enjoying large parts of it, but with other sections leaving him cold. I have similarly mixed feelings about this one. I really like a lot of it, but the ending is truly terrible...

Gave up on Enterprise season 3 at a point when I had night classes and I realized I didn't care enough to record it and come back to it. I want to say "Exile" was the last episode I bothered catching. I randomly caught another episode six months or so later—I think it was "The Council"—and was...

This is fascinating. I knew they were intelligent but didn’t think it was on this scale. I’m always open to reevaluate my opinion in the light of new information.

Interesting.

I knew somebody was going to say something like this. There is nothing silly or cartoony about the idea of cetacean sentience. Scientists and SF authors have recognized it for generations, to the point that many scientists now argue that dolphins should be legally recognized as people and...

...want that even though it asked for it, hence their failure to promote it and its status as the "red-headed stepchild" of the franchise. Voyager and Enterprise were TNG Lite with consistently diminishing returns and yet the studio was dumbfounded as to why the ratings were falling with each...

Yet another episode they disliked. I never quite got the controversy over the ending as I always assumed that Worf would have discussed his plan with Kurn (off screen). Just because we didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen and it would have been too much exposition rather than just...

I just don't agree. And that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, as Scotty said and Captain Koloth agreed. But I find nothing even remotely tedious about the scene. Granted, Goldsmith's score really helps elevate the scene, but I find the imagery to be beautiful as well. It is the...

I'm wondering if maybe the kids were hidden in a separate part of the Botany Bay with shielding that the Enterprise was unable to scan through, but I doubt that 20th-century (or 21st-century in the rewritten timeline) shielding methods would have been able to fool 23rd-century sensors. And of...

I’m just going by poll numbers and thread posts on this website. The majority have liked most of the episodes, 7 and 8 have the most low ratings, but most votes are still above 5

Not really. It was meant as an action adventure with science fiction trappings. The two pilots featured soft ideas, including ESP, the transporter and such. Through the show there's a shift from scientific knowns to fictional ideas, going from lasers to phasers, and lithium to dilithium It had...

Yeah, no. Star Trek's scientific accuracy has always been grossly exaggerated, even TOS's. I don't care if Roddenberry had chats with actual scientists, that doesn't mean the show was scientifically accurate. I grant you it did make more of an effort with its science than other sci-fi shows of...

Star Wars is definitely Science Fantasy, it was tongue-in-cheek on on purpose. Star Trek was supposed to proverbial top rated Science Fiction. Tribbles aside. About that blue stuff? An early 1990s issue of Scientific American, had a detailed article on nanotechnology. We should have had...

This is limited to the productions of 1966-2005 with a strong preference to on-screen material, thus keeping more or less to an Okuda-centric list for consistency. So it occurred to me that I'd never sat down and worked up a year-based registry tracking list. I've had pieces and parts, and...

...the other Paramount releases, since the board will be generally familiar with that, and also because it allows people to directly compare the ratings of these episodes to the episodes of the shows, if they were so inclined. I don't know if this will be a popular choice, so if you have...
