    Transporter beam and shields

    I don't see why the Shield Freq couldn't be altered (even momentarily) to allow Transportation. If not, why not a "field" like the Warp Field might be locally generated where a dedicated area could allow passage. The Borg seem to be experts at altering Weapons Frequency to get through Fed...

    Trek Ships Are Too Small Compared to Star Wars

    That's never going to happen. Writers of before and future (probably) are not going to give up making us pity our Heroes because they have written the ST equipment as being total junk.

    Tech origin story

    My apologies for not making that more clear... I'd like to see any episode which didn't include something going wrong with the ship/equipment, including the characters. Ummm....just can't think of one at the moment.

    Tech origin story

    Any storyline which did not include the Ship falling apart at the first shot, where the characters if possessed were not just put back on duty without any debriefing, and where Data could resist the first little electrical pulse without being disabled and not being commanded to commandeer the...

    Self-Cleaning Starships

    They have a drive through Ship Wash orbiting Bajor (Ferengi Operated) so keep an eye on your stuff.

    H&I (Heroes & Icons) OTA SiFi TV

    I'm pleased to say that I've run across another SiFi source via OTA* ! This one being the "H&I" channel (Heroes & Icons). I was able to watch Star Trek The Original Series, The Next Generation, Enterprise, Voyager and Deep Space 9. What a boon for we OTA Since Fiction zealots such as myself...

    The Enterprise D, an exploration ship?

    Promoted to Admiral...RUBBISH ! After he's violated the Prime Directive more times than I can remember, been relegated to the Borg, submitted to a mind link by non Starfleet personnel (Sarrek) w/o Fleet approval, he should have been busted down to PFC, and put in a mental institution. IMHO...

    The Enterprise D, an exploration ship?

    It was clearly dual purpose. Otherwise, why would they be able to separate the Saucer section. And given that ability, I only remember Picard separating it once (I think in a Farscape episode) to protect the Civilians and Children, probably. But in all the battles E-D has encountered, and...

    Shields Failing

    Ummmm, after the ten billionth time the Shields have been reduced or failed, seems like someone might think that they need a bigger/backup Generator.....but noooooo.

    Comet TV

    At one time, Terrestrial TV (OTA) was really bad. But in the past couple years, it has become a real challenge to having Cable/Sat services. 90% of what I watch/record is on OTA. The national channels (CBS/NBC/ABC) have finally realized and started doing their own productions. Rosewood, NCIS'...

    Comet TV

    For sure, I so like seeing older stuff that hasn't been seen before. And, I see that they have changed the website format a bit... Showing a daily html schedule now, instead of the .txt weekly as before. It looks nice, but, I liked seeing the extended one, where I could set my recorder. I can't...

    Intraship Transport

    Also, and just in case site to site is of any concern, one could just step into a TerboLift. I've seen those things go every which way besides to another Galaxy.

    Intraship Transport

    I agree that it's energy consuming, and, not for frivolous reasons. But there shouldn't be any reason that it can't be used because it's more dangerous than a distant transfer. Kinda like taking the stairs rather than the elevator approach.

    Intraship Transport

    As I recall, site to site transporting has been done numerous times, and I don't recall anyone stepping in and saying "don't do that" !

    Comet TV

    That can happen but just in case someone missed it... One has to scroll down to the bottom of the opening page, and type his ZipCode into the cell. Also, one has to watch the Date above the Columns. The page shows past programing as well.

    Shields Failing

    That, life support, lights and gravity plaiting seem to be just fine. The Engineers who designed those, should be moved over to the rest of the ship. ALL of it.

    Comet TV

    Many of us are changing over to what is called OTA (Terrestrial Television). That's where you've "cut the cable", and are watching TV via an Antenna. Many channels to watch, and it's FREE, after a moderate install of an Antenna and Coax (usually under $100) a one time charge. I've noticed a...

    Shields Failing

    The "bunting" will be next. (Uoops, excuse my SG1)

    Shields Failing

    I don't think the writers even read previous episodes. They're so involved in making us pity our poor Hero's, that they must make Fed equipment as junky as possible. I've been watching Trek since Episode 1 day 1, and it took me about 10 years for my eyes to not be glassy from the wonderful...

    turbo lifts

    They're kind of like a throttle on a Motorcycle. CW to go up, and CCW to go down, and the farther you twist it the faster you go. :p
