    News RIP Jill Sobule of "I Kissed a Girl" fame

    For anyone of a certain age who remembers Jill Sobule perhaps primarily from her song 'I Kissed a Girl', well before Katy Perry, she's recently passed away in a house fire. More details here: https://www.livenowfox.com/news/jill-sobule-death-house-fire And the video she's perhaps best known...

    Best and Worst Treatment of Ethical Dilemmas

    Which Star Trek entries would you point to as very good or very bad instances of the franchise taking an ethical dilemma and giving it the weight it deserves? This doesn't necessarily mean you agree with the final result, just that you feel the dilemma received the weight it deserved. A few...

    Poll Is age a factor in which season you prefer?

    I'm curious to see whether I can turn up any evidence that the age of the individual has any bearing on whether they tended to prefer S1 or S3 of PIC. I'm not including S2 as it seems to be the general consensus that S2 is weaker than the other two (no offense to those who consider it the best...

    Poll Is the Trek that you grew up with also your favorite Trek?

    There's been some evidence of (entirely understandable!) bias among us, in that the Trek series that we grow up with we may innately tend to regard more favorably than other installments in the franchise. Nostalgia's a powerful force. To that end, I'm curious to hear which series you grew up...

    Poll Season Three: The Search For Causation

    I have an amateur theory that people who grew up with TNG as their primary exposure to the franchise, versus TOS or pretty much anything other than TNG, might be inclined to think of season three of Picard with more fondness than those who did not, and I'm curious to see whether the numbers bear...

    Poll Rank the Picard Seasons

    Tough call for me between S3 and S1 as the best (they feel somewhat like entirely different series), but S2 definitely at the bottom of the three.

    Seat Available for Documentary Premiere in NYC, 10/14

    Hopefully not breaking any of the forum rules here... Hi fellow Niners...try as I might, I haven't been able to find anyone who wanted to go with me to the NYC premiere of the DS9 Documentary (http://ds9documentary.com) on October 14 (seating starts at 2:30 pm). I'm required to RSVP today. If...

    Poll One Must Die...

    ...or at least be written off. Probably. It's late season three of the series, and Voyager is about to enter Borg space. In the writers' room there's been much discussion of a possible new regular character, a Borg who will be liberated from the collective. While this idea is compelling...

    INS - Does the Son'a subterfuge work against them?

    As everyone who's seen INS will likely recall, Picard & Co. assist the Baku in preventing the Son'a attempts to beam them off the planet. It is later revealed that the Baku and Son'a are (or at least were) one race...the Son'a were exiled from the planet (how this was done by a race that appears...

    Poll First lasting exposure to Star Trek?

    Apologies if this has been done before, especially if it was particularly recent. After someone here told me they got into Trek through TMP, which in my head is probably an outlying case, I thought it might be interesting to run a poll to find out when people generally got into the franchise...

    Seska's Kid - Any novel appearances?

    Prompted by another thread I saw here...have any novels done anything with Seska's kid? I imagine the VOY relaunch might get around to that at some point. Or not.

    Pebble Smartwatch for $100, Pebble Steel for $200

    Best Buy's got the original and Steel Pebbles on sale currently. I'm curious but don't really need either one desperately. Does anyone have any experience with them or thoughts as to whether this is a worthwhile deal? Thanks!

    Did Khan target Harewood's daughter?

    Apologies if this has come up before! So we know that Khan and Harewood work out a deal wherein Khan heals Harewood's daughter using his blood in exchange for Harewood bombing the S31 facility. A few days ago I started to wonder whether Khan made Harewood's daughter sick to begin with. It's...

    Into Darkness 2-CD Soundtrack Release!

    http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/sttrindadeed.html I was hoping this would happen. $31.95 at the link provided. No indication that it's a limited release, so you might be able to save money by waiting and/or looking elsewhere.

    Tasha Yar ----> Christine Vale

    This may be utter nonsense, but I was wondering whether the development of Christine Vale was in any way informed by Tasha Yar. I just find myself thinking based on a related thread that there are some similarities in their characters, and wondering whether Vale may have been an attempt to...

    How to move furniture?

    So my parents have probably sold their house, and are giving me the option to take some of their stuff from them. The biggest snag is that I live 5+ hours/300 miles from them. The only significant item of interest in this equation is a coffee table, as anything else I can shove into my...

    What to do in Palm Beach

    Hi all! So I'm going down to Palm Beach, Florida for about a week (leaving today, returning Friday), and I was wondering whether anyone might have ideas for things to do. My transportation options may be a bit limited, as I may be able to use my parents' rental car (I'm visiting while they're...

    Sorta-Kinda OT - Editing Process

    Hi all, A couple of weeks back I asked whether any writers/editors might be willing to share any correspondence they had in terms of feedback on their work. That thread got a good number of views, but no replies. Poor me. :) Since then I've been told that a small publishing company is...
