    Spoilers Question about Ash Tyler (Spoiler for those who have yet to watch the show.)

    In your opinion, did it add any depth to the overall story to have Ash Tyler turn out to be Voq? did anything feel lazy about the revelation? I mean, he's basically Ash Tyler now, as the Voq persona was killed off by L'Rell (which I don't understand, I'd think she'd WANT Tyler to die if Voq...

    Did Voyager open a can of worms with the Doctor?

    By basically creating a sentient self aware computer program that can copy itself. Imagine if something caused the Doctor to hate "Real" lifeforms, if not the doctor, maybe another sentient hologram, whats to stop them from flooding Federation Computers and Starships with thousands of copy's of...

    A post in another BBS got me thinking about Khan

    Basically the Post was asking why Khan just didn't allow the Reliant to "rescue" him and his followers. I admit the thought had never occured to me and I've seen the film a million times. So I wondered, what would have happened if Khan would have gone helpless refugee on Terrel and Chekov...

    Are there any inherent advantages to a one nacelled ship design?

    I've always liked the design of the Kelvin, the old Saladin class, and even the Freedom class. I know the latter two aren't really fan favorites, and at first glance, other than cost, I can't really thing of any sort of advantage to only having one warp engine on a ship....especially with the...

    ST:III This just occurred to me.....

    Why did Kirk go to Genesis? Why didn't he go straight to Vulcan? As far as he knew Spock was dead, so the whole point of Stealing the Enterprise was to help McCoy, not retrieve Spocks Body. I feel dumb for not wondering this much sooner.

    ST:III Tractor Beam at Warp??

    So, when, if not for Sabotage by Scotty, it seems obvious Capt. Styles Plan was to overtake the Enterprise and forcibly tow her back to Spacedock. Has there ever been an example in Trek of a Ship Engaging a Tractor beam on another WHILE at warp? I don't mean Take the ship in tow and then jump to...

    How much time passed between IV and V?

    It seems like maybe only a couple of weeks on one hand, but on the other it seems like it could have been longer, maybe a year or more, as the movie begins with Kirk on leave, but judging by Scotty you could easily believe the ship broke down right after the end credits in ST: IV.

    Was ST:III Transwarp as fast as TNG/VOY Transwarp?

    They never really specify what Transwarp is in ST:III, you know it's obviously faster than regular warp, but how much faster? I know there is a TOS warp scale and a TNG warp scale, did what they call Transwarp in ST:III basically just become drives that could achieve TNG level warp speeds? Or...

    "Jim, the Enterprise is 20 years old, we feel her day is done." My thoughts when seeing that scene.

    I've always wondered why this was an issue as an Adult, 80-90 year old Starfleet ships are not uncommon, and wasn't the Enterprise-D built to last over a century with refits? Had it been 20 years since TMP by then? I ask that because maybe the Admiral was referring to the space frame (that I...

    Uhura and Scotty, why did people hate the Idea so much?

    They've known each other for 20+ years by ST:V, Scotty even said she was the most understanding woman he knew, which would suggest that he has probably confided things in her off camera. Maybe Uhura likes a guy thats good with his hands, I'm sure they have Space Viagra in the 23rd century so I...

    Chekov in ST:IV: Master Troll or Moron?

    I've always wondered this when watching Star Trek IV (except when I was a kid, then I just thought it was funny) When Chekov gets caught aboard the Aircraft Carrier Enterprise, and he is being interrogated, is he: A.) Freely giving information because he knows that his 20th century captors will...

    Why is Alley prefered so much over Curtis for Saavik?

    I recently purchased the Star Trek Original Motion Picture Collection on Blu Ray. (I had my DVD's for years) Doing a Rewatch of the films (Picture Quality is VASTLY Improved over the DVD's, it's like watching them for the first time again) I realized I actually prefer Robin Curtis's turn as...

    What would you like to see in the second season of The Orville?

    Assuming you enjoyed the show.....More Humor? Less? More World Building? Action? A new character? A change in tone? Arcs?

    Best version of 1927's Metropolis?

    I know there are several "cut's" of this film of varying lengths. I'm trying to find the most complete, definitive version of the film, supposedly, there was some lost footage of the film found a few years back or something, there's a ton of information on the various versions of this film, and...

    Rewatching "Enterprise" for first time since series original run.

    I've only watched the first 2 eps so far (Broken Bow and Fight or Flight) I know the first two seasons are supposedly "Meh" of which from what I've seen so far I'd agree, it's been underwhelming. I'm just watching it as it's own "take" on the the Trek Ideal really, though the aesthetic of the...

    Are the new Klingons supposed to be White Republicans?

    I'm not trying to start some sort of firestorm or finger pointing thing first off.... But given how a lot of shows inject some sort of political message into their fabric nowadays, I couldn't help but wonder while watching the show, with the Klingons feeling like this multi-species Federation...

    "The Wounded" Why didn't Maxwells Crew stop him?

    Like the title says....when Ben Maxwells crew realizes they have been ordered to preemtively attack a target they are not at war with and has not attacked them first, why didn't the 1st officer step in and relieve him? We know Starship crews are not made to be mindless autonomatons.....I could...

    Guinan

    Was she a good character? Was Whoopie the best choice to play her? Do you think more could have been done with her character? I seem to remember not really caring one way or another about her during the show original run, I mean Whoopie was not a Triple A star at the time but she was a...

    My Facebook account was disabled for "Identity proofing"

    So after 2 years away, I signed back up to facebook because family members and my GF wanted me to. This morning I open the app on my phone and I am greeted with something along the lines of "we need you to submit a photo to verify your Identity" (I have a photo on my profile) I've only had a...

    ST:TMP: Was such a massive refit of the USS Enterprise logical?

    99% of us love the refit USS Enterprise which made her stunning debut in TMP....... But did it make any sense to rebuild her to that degree? Wouldn't it have been more efficient to simply build a new ship and send the Enterprise out on one last Hurrah 1-2 year mission while the new ship was...
