    Sound effects. Anybody want to refresh my memory?

    First I'd like to say, I'm a sound effects maniac, especially in sci-fi franchises. However, it does irk me when I hear these Star Wars SFX in Star Trek because they seem so out of place... However, I didn't start this thread to rant, but rather to get a refresher...

    Best Stargazer novels?

    So...I've just recently read the SGR novel "Three", which I only purchased being a fan of the Mirror Universe, and I found it to be dry and dull. Oblivion, on the other hand, seems much more promising and enjoyable. I've already read Christopher's epic The Buried Age. So my question is, how...

    Serpents Among The Ruins-question about other ENT-B crew?

    I just finished reading the masterpiece that was Serpents Among The Ruins for the second time and I loved it, but I had one question. Do any books mention what happened to certain crew members? I know Harriman retires and Demora becomes captain, but what about: Rafe Buonarotti. Xintal...

    Armageddon Vs. Deep Impact.

    Just as the title says. Which of these two doomsday/asteroid movies do you prefer and why? Do you like them both? (Do you hate Armageddon with a burning passion? :rommie:) I like them both, personally. Anyone else?

    REBOOT: What other series would you like ST Authors to write?

    This is a reboot of a thread I saw on here many months ago, but disappeared, so I thought I'd restart it with the topic question. (If this is not a good idea, I will promptly accept a thread locking. The topic is in the thread-what other series would you like to see ST authors write for? Some...

    Splinter Cell novel series.

    I must ask, does anyone out there like to read the Splinter Cell novel series by David Michaels? (An alias). If so, what are your favorites of the six current books, and would you like to see more in the near future?

    Star Trek themes in real situations.

    A random thread: do you often listen to Star Trek music in a situation, and you find out it actually fits it well? If so, what themes do you find most useful in different scenarios? ie-Final Flight from Nemesis while jogging?

    Prometheus-Did anyone else like it?

    I had a chance to see the movie "Prometheus" on opening day. Being a fan of the first two Alien movies, I knew I'd enjoy it. In short: it was amazing, the entire story was fascinating, and the aliens were as scary now as they were in the early movies. Did anyone else enjoy it? EDIT: Nevermind...

    Mirror Universe in DS9/VOY-What if...?

    Suppose the Terran Empire survived long into the 24th Century? Imagine if the K-C Alliance never came to? How do you think events in DS9 and VOY would've played out had that been the case? In VOY, I could imagine the ISS Voyager being the second most feared vessel in the empire (next to...

    Splinter Cell: Blacklist?

    What's everyone's opinion on this game? Would you play it? Do you think it looks good based on what's been presented? Does the lack of Michael Ironside's voice put you off? Personally, I'm a SC maniac. I'd buy it no matter what, but the lack of Ironside's voice seriously kills it...

    Best "A Time To..." novels, and why?

    I have a while to go before reading this series, but I must ask, which of the nine novels is worth reading? (Note: I already own Kill, Heal and War/Peace). Aside from those which of the others are worth a read?

    Favorite older ST novel? (Accidentally submitted to gaming section.)

    I'm on a bit of a older ST book reading binge and that got me thinking, what are some of your favorite "classic" Trek books (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY)? From the 60's-90's? Some of mine are: Imzadi The Ashes of Eden-Spectre Dark Mirror Federation Crossover Anyone else?

    You know you've seen too much ST when...

    I don't know if there is a thread like this, but I thought I might start one with a few: You often say "fascinating" when you hear something interesting. You say "Bridge" when entering an elevator. You actually want to name a pet after a trek character. (ie: A cat named Thelin...) When...

    Engines of Destiny: That bad?

    I haven't yet read the novel "Engines of Destiny", but I have to ask, is it REALLY as bad as everyone has made it out to be? What were some really bad elements? Discuss.

    Short story: "Good-bye, Defiant..."

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7993631/1/Goodbye_Defiant Link on a fanfiction website. This is something I wrote up earlier today. Sisko's thoughts as the Defiant is destroyed in "The Changing Face of Evil". Writer's comments:Anyone who's seen DS9 probably remembers the Season 7 episode, "The...

    In The Pale Moonlight-Would you do it?

    Let's say for a moment that you're in either Sisko's or Garak's shoes and you're contemplating bringing someone to your side. And you have to resort to drastic measures to do so (hiring criminals, purchasing biological weapons, killing a key asset). The question: could you bring yourself to...

    Suppose you're about to walk the Green Mile, and were offered a last meal? What would you decide?

    Are the following books worth reading?

    I'm not 100% caught up with every relaunch novel (pre- and post-Destiny) and wanted to ask: are the following novels on this list worth a read? TNG: Before Dishonor (The most hated book on the BBS, seems like). TNG: Greater Than The Sum TNG: Indistinguishable From Magic Typhon Pact: Seize The...

    Episodes that would've made good novels...

    I've been thinking, there are quite a few good novelizations out there, and wanted to ask, which episodes do you think would've been good if novelized? (And which authors would you select?) I had in mind: "Trouble With Tribbles (TOS)" by Peter David Scorpion (VOY) By James Swallow Shattered...
