    Late 23rd Century Control Panel UI

    This was my thinking 100% until today. While it's still my thinking, generally, there is the disturbing possibility of improper use of muscle memory. To be sure, anyone can have a mental glitch moment, but I (a non-pilot) have had moments of, for example, typing the wrong machine's password...

    “Commander Silverbird,” Gibbs cleared his throat, “what’s going on here?” The young woman turned her gaze to the gray-haired lead investigator and smiled innocently. “We… just wanted to visit Agent David?” “And hide in her closet for that,” McGee pointed out, earning an annoyed glance from...

    Chapter 10 Ziva leaned forward and checked Cal’s pulse. “Have you reached them, McGee?” an impatient Leroy Jethro Gibbs asked his subordinate, who was casting a sad glance at the stretcher carrying Petty Officer Laura McConnaugh out of NCIS headquarters. He hadn’t even had the chance...

    Chapter 8 The pretty redhead widened her eyes in surprise. It was a real pain with the German language. Every fiber of Calvin Nathan Cats’ being wanted to turn the word “shuttle” into a neuter noun, saying “the shuttle” as a neutral “das Shuttle.” He’d gotten by just fine with this...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I never took it as impounded. I took it as the Klingons took it back and were trying to force Nero to reveal how to use it. Since Nero is so consumed with revenge he doesn't give up anything. Klingons try to make it work but fight amongst themselves which hampers progress. But it's not better...

    Nemesis is better than Insurrection: Convince me otherwise.

    Agree with a number of comments here that Nemesis is better because there's a good movie hiding in there somewhere, whereas Insurrection is just all around misguided. Nemesis should have dropped the "this time it's personal angle" with cloning and just had it be about the Remans doing a coup...

    How do you think would go the process that would result in the change of modern military into what we see in most SF? Especially if there are no big c

    I'm not sure I understand the question. What constitutes a "typical SF" military, and how is it different from what exists today? All I can think of is that SF militaries tend to be global instead of national. Otherwise they seem to work pretty much like present-day militaries. Even Starfleet...

    Dating some pictures

    Age-wise he looks like this might have been closer to 1986–1990, around the time TNG premiered, perhaps when he was shooting the intro for the “Cage” TV premiere. It’s not part of the larger collections at either Getty or Alamy. This seems to be from the same general period and it’s dated 1988...

    A lot of words to not talk about Sisko.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    A Starfleet Office's job in time of war, is the same as an American Military Officer's job. Or Japanese Self Defense Force Officer's. Or what ever. Prosecute the war to the best advantage. Losing an extinction level war, is a crime in and of itself. And make no mistake that was the purpose of...

    50th Anniversary Cinematic Special The Man with the Golden Gun Directed by Guy Hamilton Starring Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, and Britt Ekland Premiered December 19, 1974 TMWTGG is easily the most mediocre installment of the franchise to date...a bit too low stakes, and too obviously...

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    OH yeah, especially the way they have him grow the hair again and shave off the beard when those where both things Avery fought FOR when he was in the role and the nonsense about Kira becoming a Vedek which I just did not like. The funny thing is I actually like his writing but remain...

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    ...When there were the occasion side story featuring DS9 developments - Una McCormack's The Missing and Enigma Tales, Jeffery Lang's Force and Motion, even the use of DS9 elements through David Mack's entry in The Fall - it felt more like the familiar developments, because these were stories...

    A (potentially) unpopular opinion

    Wow. I never noticed that before. I just thought it was randomly numbering, but the fact that it goes from 1 through 5 really changes my opinion on this subject.

    Agatha shrugged: "I don't have the slightest idea – I... can only imagine it was Traceless again, and he didn't like being thrown out the window at all." "That wasn't Traceless," Gibbs explained with a matter-of-factness that made Agatha raise her eyebrows. "Yes, but Mr. Gibbs, the victim is my...
