    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    That's exactly what I was thinking of.:bolian: Not to step on the joke with a serious answer.. The tree itself is only identifiable in the shot where the Disco crew is gathered around it. It's obviously the one gigantic one in the middle of the park back by the building that looks like the...

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    I would suggest that rather than allow them to decay in place, Starflleet and/or the necessary Earth agency in charge would dig up the ruins and all the related underground logistical pipelines, mines, conduits, subways, basements, what have you, use them as replicator matter, smooth and shape...

    Spoilers Bad Batch Season 2 - This Fall

    I don't hear much difference tonally between Wanda Sykes' voice and Cid's (Rhea Pearlman's), who you are apparently fine with, for you to then describe Sykes' voice this way. Bad form.

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    From our outside perspective as a 21st century viewer, and from an in-universe 24th century perspective as a Starfleet crewmember, I just can't see a world overrun by ruins, even being gradually returned to it's natural state, as something they would describe as a "paradise." It's inconsistent...

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    Maybe instead of a transport tube it's a temporary arboretum and central concourse of the Paris Intergalactic World's Fair and covers or connects to those buildings to provide an unobstructed housed convention ground, and the fair is what Picard and Michelle Phillips were attending.

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    By that time, the Ceti Alpha System had been discovered and the dreaded Ceti Alpha Planetary Face Blindness Disorder had begun to spread.;)

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Once the Federation is formed, the NX-01 is refit and recommissioned (with the engineering section) to become the NX-01 Dauntless, an experimental propulsion testbed, while the Enterprise name is retired out of respect for nearly a century. The Dauntless goes on to a worthy career of its own...

    How were the Cardassians THAT good?: Communications

    Tain was using Dominion tech, which was demonstrably more advanced than Starfleet, to send the signal on. Though Tain was tapping into the life support system, I think it's more likely the life-support system simply provided an unprotected backdoor into the prison's comms systems, where any...

    Star Wars and faster than light travel

    I just retcon it as the Falcon got a big head start on its journey to Bespin when the Star Destroyer they latched onto went to hyperspace (offscreen, but implied) as part of its search pattern among nearby systems looking for the missing ship. And then Solo just detached as the fleet broke up...

    \Which Chief of s\ecurity would win in a fight?

    Odo, no contest. Of those remaining, Worf, then Tuvok.

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    True, but they literally had the bird-of-prey's eye view on a panoramic screen from kelicams up in the sky when McCoy said that.

    San Francisco: Never the same twice

    As much as I would prefer for Starfleet to be more spread out among the cities of Earth, the Communications Research Center was identified as being part of the Starfleet Command Complex in San Francisco, not Hong Kong, and the Bank of China Tower simply chosen as a suitably futuristIc looking...

    How long have you lived where you live now?

    Rented a condo in Huntington Beach, CA. for 29 years. In 2021 my landlord got divorced and had to liquidate his assets, so we had 90 days to find a new place and move (and I'm disabled and homebound, so all my nedical equipment had to go too, or be replaced). Purchased a mobile home in Las...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

    Maybe the missing spine section of the real Dauntless indicates that Starfleet intended to fit it with a protostsr drive and an additional pop-out nacelle in the spine.

    Spoilers Don't Worry Darling

    I had no idea this was even scifi related until you posted this in this forum. The few clips I had seen made it look like a generic stalking husband chases after fleeing wife story, which I had no desire to see. Now that I know it has a skiffy element to the story that raises my interest in it...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

    i rather liked the fake Dauntless from VOY 'Hope & Fear', but yeah, the real thing is pretty fugly, and looks like an awkward top-heavy pelican that's about to faceplant (beakplant?) into the sand and break its neck. The Voyager one is much better proportioned and balanced out, especially with...

    Will O'Brien be in Season 3?

    I'd love to have Picard visit the Academy where Miles is still teaching and is now the head of the Engineering Dept., and Keiko has joined him as the head of the Xeno-Botany Dept. where she was also given the opportunity to redesign the Academy grounds to reflect all the worlds of the...

    Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

    Ooh ooh, further ass pull: Vadic's soldiers are So'na clones of the Jem'Hadar who are substandard so they don't have the cloaking ability and wear masks to hide the So'na's cloning program (and to surprise the audience). They are controlled by the So'na's New Coke brand of Ketracel White first...
