    Ender's Game (2013 Film)

    This precisely summed up my issues with the movie. I liked it, but it missed several things, which you well enumerated here. My addition to it would be the attempt to compress the story in a very poor way: moving Command School from the Asteroid Belt to the Formic colony world. First, to get...

    The Official Deleted/Alternate Material Thread

    Any word on the blog? I keep checking back here out of excitement :)

    Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?

    They really only face them twice ship-to-ship: once when Q introduces them, then helps them get out of the jam, and once when they could have nearly destroyed earth if not for the fortuitous interference of the assimilated Jean-Luc. Minor encounters with Hugh and with the rogue Borg led by Lore...

    STVI without the racism

    Don't sweat it :)

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    I didn't include an Enterprise-A portion of my list, and I should. There is a lot of interesting stuff there, and it hadn't even occurred to me when putiting together my book wishlist. After all, as far as we see, that vessel gets almost no love, no attention. They just commission it, it goes...

    Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?

    Resurrecting an old thread because I wanted to comment on it, but wanted to see if such a thread existed first. I enjoy some of the Voyager stories, but I agree that the series rather weakened it. Species 8472 was ridiculously powerful, and it annoys me that the Borg were unable to utilize any...

    STVI without the racism

    I am aware of the meaning of varelse (according to Card). It means that communication and coexistence is impossible. Obviously communication between Klingons and Humans is possible, and that's why I said "almost seeming varelse". What I mean is that they seemed as if they could never coexist...

    Any mixed feelings about the transporter?

    I agree it was too convenient, except when they had to come up with some silly reason why it wasn't so they could make the plot work. What probably bugged me most was the transporter room. Why even have it? You don't have to either start or end there? Why not just beam from wherever you are...

    STVI without the racism

    I admit there seems to be a disconnect between the feelings towards Klingons between TFF and TUC: they were okay throwing back a few alien beverages with them, but when their moon blew up, well then "let them die!" Still, I believe the prejudice existent in ST VI is actually pretty realistic...

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    Since I'm new, I have been surprised by how many times this site is graced by Star Trek celebrities. :) Captain April is a fascinating character to me, in part because of his limited screen appearance. I am looking forward to learning more about him. NightJim, I've only read one Peter David...

    Dune - The Book and the 1984 film *spoilers for both*

    Truthfully I haven't seen the Alternative Redux, but it's supposed to be even better than the one it sounds like you've seen. It might suit your fancy :)

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    Well, that actually is good news, because I just started reading Final Frontier. I like his character (all one chapter of it that I have read). I already have read Best Destiny, also by Diane Carey, and which I'm confident was written after. His character was obviously portrayed similarly...

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    I'm very much a noob in the Star Trek literature, and in the past assumed the stories were largely standalones, and mostly could be interpreted as further episodes squeezed between those shown on TV. Now I'm realizing just how much they flesh out the missing spots, considering the sections and...

    A Star Wars Deleted Scenes project

    Well thank you Maab. Yeah, I'm kind of shy in new forums, so I haven't posted enough to give or receive PMs just yet. I will email you. Help is much appreciated, as it's a slow going project.

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    If the comics are well done, I hold no reservations against them. I'm honestly really interested in the Early Voyages. I'll have to check them out when I get the chance. Thanks for the recommendation :)

    Filling in gaps with the novels

    Thank you :) I'm sure there are other books I'm missing, but I'm definitely open to expanding my list. EDIT: Checking out that other list, I didn't realize there were so many books set that period! I'm glad they expanded on it, as it's disappointing how much empty time was left between TMP...

    Dune - The Book and the 1984 film *spoilers for both*

    I'm a huge fan of fanedits, and this probably won't be the first suggestion I make to check one out, but the following edit is nearly made to your order. http://www.fanedit.org/ifdb/component/content/article/79-fanedit-listings/fanfix/412-dune-the-alternative-edition-redux I still have a...
