    What sort of Klingons are we expecting?

    Will this show steer clear of Klingon run-ins?

    submarine Trek show

    A season-long cat and mouse game set inside an aquatic-gaseous giant between a semi-disabled starfleet vessel and enemies in a similar predicament. Is this the back to the basics approach Trek needs? Or is the premise only good for an episode/film?

    Gene the Channeler

    I haven't myself deep dived into this topic, but I'd be curious to know if anyone here was more read into the mysteries. So, I'd heard whispers that Roddenberry was part of a group conducting seances purporting to commune with alien intelligences. This would've been before he wrote Trek. Do we...

    20th century trek cast cameos

    I just realized the other night that the far future setting allows for stars from several eras in the first 40 years of trek to appear on the show together through either a single sci-fi trope or a myriad. With the lower decks self-referential approach getting praise, going all in could be a...

    Kelvinverse alien cameos

    I hope this becomes possible at some point, otherwise I feel like a piece of the franchise isn't getting any reference loving. ETA: Any thoughts as to what are the odds?

    synths vs androids

    Are we meant to assume the rebel worker bots on Mars are humanoid merely as a personnel interface aid, while underneath not being truly sentient, thus getting around the oft-mentioned "we dislike slavery" canon violation? If that were the case perhaps the EMH looking mining holos are a...

    Vulcan telepathy: unused potential

    So it dawned on me a few days ago that Vulcans probably have no need for universal translators. I imagine they can mine brains that function in an unknown language for context, emotion, meaning. In fact yeah, I've seen Spock do this by touch on multiple occasions. Once he remotely implanted a...

    What should I watch next?

    Most recently I had marathons of catching up with Curb Your Enthusiasm and Mad Men. Tastekid.com doesn't seem too intuitive about what I might like next. I mean, Party Down's OK one episode in, but not really marathon-worthy if you ask me. So I come back to the well that so rarely disappoints...

    Sexy oder creepy

    Also, I war in Manhattan, walking over der Williamsburger bridge during a wunderbar sunset, when something caught mein achtung! Namely, a young straight couple with sexy bodies war entwined in ze most passionate auf-wiedersehen kiss I had ever witnessed, on film included, or even experienced! I...

    New Enterprise with Old School color scheme

    Anyone seen this propaganda poster in a recent Trek comic book (2nd issue of the prequel series to the coming film)? I think it wonderfully demonstrates that the new design would've looked even better with the original color scheme. Thoughts?

    L.A. Noir

    Anyone picked this up yet? Sounds like it's making quite a splash. I'm thinking it's a must play for me, when I clear some other games off my tab. ETA: Here's a gleaming review from an adventure gaming website. Interesting perspective too, as some people who frequent there prefer their...

    Should have there been a Muslim on Destiny?

    I was watching the series finale, and there was one visual that I momentarily mistook for something else. Young was bent over, packing something away, I think, and for a second I thought he was someone who is about to place a mat on the floor, go on his knees, and start praying. And then I...

    Which do you prefer?

    Several posts cropped up recently, praising The Curse of the Black Spot for its Classic Who feel, which puzzles me a bit. I've tried watching some of the old series, and had a really tough time staying interested. My hypothesis, which y'all will hopefully help me test, is that one's preference...

    When did you first realize you were incurable?

    A friend of mine cut off the puffy ball thingy on his snow-hat, and without knowing why, I decided to keep it. Imagine my geek out when I realized it looks like my very own, first pet tribble! At this point, the fact that I frequent this place notwithstanding, I know I'm a hopeless trekkie for...

    Heroes of Might and Magic VI

    The news has been around for a while, but I just now found out this is coming out in March. Can't wait! http://mightandmagic.uk.ubi.com/heroes6/

    gods in Trek

    The gods of Trek are often like super-powered petulant children, who toy with humans because they can, and must be brought to their senses by our superior intellect. The story requires them to have some limits on their power so that our heroes might triumph. This is usually a basic goodness that...

    You know what's creepy about Amy?

    She says "explain!" waaaay too much.

    New Sam & Max season anyone?

    This time, besides still holding office as president, Max comes replete with psychic powers! Ep. 1's out as of couple days ago. The gameplay's a bit dumbed down (Max's future vision sometimes acts as an additional layer of the hint system), but other than that, I quite enjoyed it. :)

    Simple physics question

    Submerge an empty glass into a larger receptacle of water top-down so as to create an air bubble. Allow some of the air to escape, so that water will fill part of the glass. When pulling the glass out, before the rim emerges from underneath the water surface, water will be pulled up with the...

    How about if we end the series with a cliffhanger

    I'm gonna miss the feeling of anticipation that Lost is so good at delivering. I'm not sure I want all the major plot threads to be resolved by the end. Is there any chance we'll get a Lost movie?
