    How do I start my roommate on Star Trek?

    I pretty much love Star Trek. My roommate; however, is kinda scared to watch it. He hasn't seen much science fiction before I moved into the apartment. However, when I got him to watch the new Battlestar Galatica, my roommate got hooked and loved it (except he hated the last episode)! Besides...

    Alternative to the big bang singularity?

    I was just thinking. From what I understand, the current Big Bang model suggests that the universe was originally in a single point, space got "bigger" as the universe got bigger. But what if space was always infinite? However, when the universe got "bigger", space got bigger at the same rate...

    Lectures from the Q2C Festival

    I thought some people on this forum might be interested in these lectures on science topics in physics and astronomy. Check them out on this web site: http://www.q2cfestival.com/schedule It takes a little bit for each lecture to get past the sponsors and the introductions. The first one...

    Vulcan vs the other planet (spoilers)

    There are a lot of rumors that Vulcan is destroyed. This reminded me how Alderaan was destroyed in Star Wars. However, Alderaan was only said to be an important place. We never actually got to see the planet very long until the end of Episode III. There was never a real emotional connection...

    Alternate Ending to Insurrection

    Just saw this on Youtube. That's a good reason why subspace weapons were banned! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs2BFU5L0pU :rommie:

    RIP Helio Gracie.

    I'm a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. BJJ is a martial art founded by Carlos and Helio Gracie. While Carlos passed away years ago, Helio died last night at age 95 quickly and peacefully. I'll always be greatful for the martial art that he helped create, as it changed my life for the better in so...

    How do I get from Nemesis to A Singular Destiny?

    I was reading the excerpt from A Singular Destiny. Lots of spoilers about previous stories in there (Read it on Trekweb and I didn't realize there were so many spoilers). I heard Janeway sortof dies and the Borg attack, and there's a civil war with the Romulans. And Dax is a captain? What about...

    Crazy theory about Nero (spoilers)

    I was thinking. At the beginning of the movie, Nero goes back in time and attacks Earth, but Kirk's dad saves the day. However, why would Nero then go forward in time and attack Vulcan instead? Why not go back in time again and attack earth again? Well, what if Nero first (from his point of...

    Recession and Star Trek's success

    I am excited about the new movie, but I'm worried about the recession. People aren't being more conservative with their money. Prices are going down, but the costs of this Star Trek picture are some of the highest in the series. The movie would have to make a lot of money to be successful...

    Trek XI has Good Will Hunting vibe?

    Anyone else getting a "Good Will Hunting" vibe from the movie. That is, a movie set on a college campus about the students and faculty there? Based on the spoilers so far, it seems to be about Kirk's campus experience at Starfleet Academy. I just don't see the Enterprise being a major part of...

    Classic Final Scene?

    The above shows that the final scene is on the bridge. In TOS, a classic way to end each episode was with some dialog between Kirk, Spock and McCoy - sometimes with others too. It was often a joke at Spock's expense, with McCoy and Kirk laughing. Then a parting shot of the Enterprise warping...

    Fan productions and why they all use the Guardian...

    Fan productions have a different set of economics than the television shows. They can never hope to make money from their endeavor or even make back the costs of production! So their need to save money is even more like that of the original series. Another difference is that that have much more...

    Ron D. Moore's short story, What does it mean? (spoilers)

    From Wired: “Cellar?” “Gate to, uh … hell, actually.” - Ronald D. Moore What does that mean? It went over my head. I liked William Shatner's biography of Zephram Cochrane, though.

    Was God a Cytherian

    Even given the unusual elements of Star Trek 5, there's a lot of similarities between "God" and the Cytherians from The Nth Degree. God brainwashed Sybok so he could bring a starship to His homeworld. The Cytherians reprogrammed Barclay so he could bring a starship to their homeworld. Both God...

    A holographic hologram generator

    In Ship in a Bottle, the crew of the Enterprise tried to give Moriarty the ability to leave the holodeck. They tried beaming out a chair but it didn't work. In the episode with the Exocoms, they established that they make holograms of devices that actually work. Well, what about a holographic...
