    The Best of Peter David

    I understand that, but…that’s the thread lol

    The Best of Peter David

    In honor of Peter David, I was wondering if we could do a best-of thread. What are your top 5 Trek titles by the man himself? Let’s keep this a tight list, so no series—no “the New Frontier series” or “the Imzadi trilogy.” Pick one of the three in the trilogy or count each installment...

    For the Imperium...

    Looks late 23rd century to me. Might have been a result of an earlier co-venture. I think I remember Garak saying something in A Stitch in Time Tain and his Romulan counterpart hating each other despite their peoples sharing technologies with one another. …would help both keep up with the...

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    But you’re not 8 anymore and this series takes a look at the story through the eye of an adult. I say take it in for all its worth. It’s pretty great. You had me till the crack at TNG S1&2. You’re comparing apples and oranges with that one, and as much as I love Love LOVED Andor, I will not...

    Divisions Starfleet should have

    Its primary purpose is not defense. In the future war is more or less a relic of the past. Human beings and many aliens set aside violence to live peaceful and prosperous lives of exploration and understanding. Starfleet (which one can imagine growing out of NASA, not the Space Force/MACOs) is a...

    Divisions Starfleet should have

    This is the appropriate forum. Sci-fi isn't just about the gadgets. And when sci-fi forgets that it tends to be dull, unpopular, and empty. The question is one of divisions and marines were suggested. I offered why I don't think marines make sense in my view of the Star Trek universe. You...

    Divisions Starfleet should have

    To your first clearly and thoroughly expressed point I say that sex is a good thing. I know, shocking. To your second, I think you should read more history. Media attempts (on both sides of the political spectrum) to tell you otherwise for their own reasons aside, this is nowhere near the worst...

    Divisions Starfleet should have

    Like a land without slavery, where men and women are free to speak their mind, go where they like, own their own property, marry who they love, and elect or remove their own leaders? Where many diseases no longer trouble us and we live multiple times as long as we used to, eating and drinking...

    Divisions Starfleet should have

    No marines. No standing armies. Any standing military will want to engage in conflict, directly or indirectly, to justify its existence. This is what humanity has come to understand in the future, and why Starfleet is not a military organization. Everyone in Starfleet serves some civilian job...

    Brian Brophy didn’t return?

    LEGACY. Jurati Queen is searching the Collective and her former subconscious for clues to dealing with the spatial anomaly at which the Jurati Borg are now sentinels, and she’s having flashbacks to the twists and turns of her relationship with Maddox. It’s Brian Brophy. In the official...

    Brian Brophy didn’t return?

    Oh, it’s happening. You can either be on board, or regret you weren’t. :bolian: :vulcan: :klingon: :cardie: :rommie: :borg:

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    And keeps changing. DSC showed us a fleet mostly devoid of kit-bashes. Brave new world of easy modeling. No excuses. :hugegrin:

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    For example, I did these doodles a while back of some ships larger than the Galaxy Class and some much smaller. Some of them are kitbashable, others definitely not. Here's a cut-&-paste for a smaller ship (probably a Galaxy Era scout or clipper) I just slapped together using the Freedom...

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    One of the things that I don’t much care for in kitbashes of Galaxy Era ships is that they undercut the idea of the “technology unchained” philosophy. You could now more or less design and build anything without being limited by or in need of modular and interchangeable parts. In my head canon...

    Brian Brophy didn’t return?

    I've never written a fan letter to any actor or show or character before, not as a kid or as an adult, but I think that, if they ever do actually do a LEGACY series, I might shoot one out to the showrunner to find some way of casting Brian Brophy either as Maddox or, say, his identical...

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    A lot of the models that use the Galaxy saucer shape for smaller ships don’t make sense. The interiors would be all wrong—you’d basically walking on the windows. In many cases it’s a lot of wasted space and puzzling design choices. The Galaxy bridge exterior complex on say a New Orleans is...
