    A Yesterday’s Enterprise movie

    I was just reading something that Ronald Moore said about how if the Yesterday’s Enterprise episode had not been made, it would have been the basic plot for Generations. With of course the Enterprise A and it’s crew taking the place of the E-C. Seems like a pretty killer idea. Although I can’t...

    Season 2 is really underrated

    From what I remember the popular narrative is the series really "found its stride" in season 3, but I'm most of the way through season 2 right now and this is really, really good. I haven't watched the show in many years and expected I would be grinding my way through a bunch of clunkers but...

    Best way to watch DS9?

    I've had the itch to watch the entire series from beginning to end, which I haven't done in at least 7-8 years. So I went out tonight to retrieve my DVDs, which involved driving 40 minutes out to a storage unit and sifting through a ton of junk with a flashlight, and it was literally 0 degrees...

    DS9 a COMPLETE ripoff of FULL HOUSE!!!

    Original episode plans

    Been reading a lot of episode summaries on Memory Alpha lately. In a lot of cases the final product is a lot different from the original concept. Especially what we now see as the sub-par episodes. Some of the better ones: Rivals - Trombetta himself said it was extremely frustrating developing...

    'Extreme Measures' really bugged me

    Considering all of Bashir's high-minded talk about how the ends don't justify the means and how 31 needs to be destroyed, his actions are pretty objectionable. He blatantly lies to Starfleet Command, he's indirectly responsible for Sloan's death, and then he forces his way into Sloan's mind -...

    Anybody have framed Star Trek art in their home?

    I had never considered it before, but I'm building a basement den (or "man cave" if you will) and was thinking about decorations. Then I came across this: and I'm thinking there just has to be a way to get it printed and framed. Any other stunning pieces of Trek wall art out there?

    Navigational deflectors ... what's up with this?

    Only Federation ships have them. Most do, anyway. Miranda, Constellation excepted, maybe a couple of others. But nobody else's ships have them. We've seen Romulan, Klingon, Vulcan, Cardassian, Breen, Dominion, Kazon, etc. with no sign of this particular feature. Yet Federation ship designers...

    What do we know about the years between ST5 and ST6?

    I've always found this interesting. IIRC the events of Star Trek V occurred in 2287, with VI coming in 2293. A pretty significant gap. Do we have any idea of what the Enterprise's mission was like in those years? Did they do another 5-year type mission of exploration? Or were the ship's...

    Why so many ship classes?....it doesn't seem realistic.

    Count up the ship classes we see by the end of Voyager. At least this many types are in service (canon only) Galaxy Defiant Nebula Prometheus Nova Sovreign Akira Steamrunner Norway Saber Intrepid In addition we see a few classes during the DS9/TNG run that could logically still be in service...

    Is the UFP's expansion at odds with its own ideals?

    I was watching the DS9 episode "Way of the Warrior". Garak and Quark have the following conversation: Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this. Elim Garak: What is it? Quark: A human drink. It's called root beer. Elim Garak: [unwilling] Uh, I don't know...

    Empok Nor

    Something always bothered me about this episode and after I watched it today I realized what. It's the fact that the station still exists at all. Why would the Cardassians abandon it, but leave it relatively intact? We know they pretty much gutted and sabotaged Terok Nor when they left it...

    Kirk-Spock-Uhura interplay

    Has anybody else noticed that Uhura pretty much seems to have taken over McCoy's spot as the third wheel from the original universe? Seems to me most of the memorable character moments and humor come out when these three are on screen together. I just saw Into Darkness today and although I am...

    Nor the Battle to the Strong

    Caught this one recently and it's just so weird. I remember liking it the first time I saw it, this time not so much. I won't call it bad, because the storyline is fantastic. But the acting is just plain horrendous. Most of the guest stars are laughable. Particularly the Starfleet infantry...

    Does anybody still make physical models anymore?

    I dabbled in modeling for a while back in the late 90's. I was never really great, but I think that had more to do with lack of the proper equipment and facilities than not having the talent. I'm thinking it might be something to get back into. Looking at some of the 3D art like Madman's...

    Hypothetical question

    First off, I really liked Trek XI. I am excited about the future of Star Trek in these new films. However, I can't be the only one who thought that the plot of the movie was a little forced because of an apparent "need" to make the film's events jive with the established Star Trek lore. Comic...

    Odd-numbered films on Bluray

    Can we expect 1, 3, 5 released individually anytime soon? Does anybody know why only 2, 4 and 6 have been put out there? Amazon doesn't even have a preorder/coming soon slot reserved for Search for Spock. I know I could buy the whole box set, but that's 90 bucks and I already have 2 and 4...

    Working my way through the series, again

    DS9 is my favorite TV series ever. I missed season 1 and about half of season 2 during the original run, I guess because I was 14 when the show started and didn't have much of an attention span. Caught all of the episodes (except for just a couple) on Spike a few years back and catch a random...

    Trying my hand at a little story ...

    This is my first post but I have been reading the forums on and off for a few years. My story follows the U.S.S. Hornet, an older ship that was pulled out of mothballs to serve during the Dominion War. The narrative starts a couple months after the war has ended. I plan to frame in stories...
