    Just Became A Massive Fan Of TOS

    Posting here for twenty years, but there you go. My intro to Trek was TOS but I was young. I grew up in TNG era and only started to get into it proper after ST: First Contact. I had watched late at night but I quickly fast forwarded to the TNG era and consumed everything: DS9, VOY, ENT (part...

    Got Round To A Binge Watch Of Luther...

    This is a gem, this one. S4 was a bit meh but overall, big thumbs up. If you've been curious about this show but not got round to watching it - it's worth a look!

    Section 31

    The latest season trailer has Burnham saying to Georgiou "So you've joined Section 31?", followed by Pike saying "Covert ops, threat assessment". Fast forward 100 years -- Sloan: "We keep a low profile". ... When you look back at their intro in DS9's Inquisition, they only told Bashir of who...

    So, My Dad Just Died.

    64. Been in hospital for two months. Kidney's were screwed. He developed an infection that took this from a bad compilation to serious territory a few days ago. I've shared all sorts here over the years and here I am, having lost my Dad 3 hours ago. I'm really not in touch with my emotions; my...

    Federation Complacency After 'By Inferno's Light'

    Just rewatched this episode and it got me thinking. We have The Dominion - a hostile, powerful threat to The Federation which has knowingly sort to undermine the AQ with the expressed intent of eventually installing their particular brand of order on all the major AQ players. Now, The Dominion...

    Any Decent Sitcoms Anymore?

    Just as an example me and my partner have tried watching several episodes of King of Queens and Two Broke Girls (they're on Comedy Central in repeats - only get a few minutes in before rolling eyes). Yet, watching a Cheers episode tonight I've laughed more in one minute than the entirety of...

    Check in for pre-2000 TrekBBS Members.

    Now what a humbling thought, that is. That a number of our compatriots were innocent little babes when we first signed up. I got into Star Trek via going to Star Trek: First Contact at the ripe young age of 13. I then did what many of us likely did and binge-watched everything I could get my...

    Star Trek Deserves To Be Rebooted

    I saw Batman Vs Supermn last week and thoroughly enjoyed it (I’m getting to a point). I loved Nolan’s trilogy and my partner is a huge fan of Gotham. I loved Michael and Jack too. I was suspect about rebooting *my* Star Trek (a lot of us end up with a exaggerated sense of proprietary towards...

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    http://www.cnet.com/news/twin-peaks-returning-show-creators-hint-online/ I saw the series for the first time earlier this year. Obviously, I loved it (see av). I would welcome a resurrection, even if it were a one-off. Obviously something is in the works ...

    Abrams Trek Has To be Full Reboot.

    This isn't anything revolutionary, granted... So the latest creative team partitioned off their version of Star Trek from the prime universe (generally speaking, the Universe in which Star Trek operated until their tenure) and the alternate universe, which their product operates in. You know...

    Chris Pine Charged With Drink Driving

    My family's home town, of all places. Priceless! Probably the most excitement Ash Vegas will have seen in a while. :lol:

    Breaking Bad - I just wanted to say...

    Well, after my Game Of Thrones binge (burned through the whole series in about two and a half weeks - loved it!), I was at a loss as to what else to occupy myself with before Uni restarted. Now, Breaking Bad had caught my eye a couple of times, but the premise seemed a bit obscure for my liking...

    Help! I think I May Have Picked The Wrong Major!

    I'm intending to major in Computer Science. And now, I'm not sure I want to. Fan - bloody - tastic. After several years in Hospitality and realising it wasn't going to lead anywhere spectacular, I made the call to go back to University at 31. But, I felt assured it would be worth it if a job...

    Was There Enough DETONATION?

    I'm always sheepish to admit that I love a well-choreographed space battle in Star Trek. I have been shot down by the more devoted fan-type who insists Star Trek is about something more noble than wanton spectacle. Well, fine then; I love the deep and meaningful stuff as well. However, I just...

    Family Member Owes Money. Advice?

    Hi all. I'm in a bit of a pickle and thought you wonderful people might be able to help me out. Mid 2010 my Mum informed me my younger brother and his partner were having financial difficulties and that he was going to ask for some help. So, after being warned by Mum and 'encouraged' to help...

    Going Back To Uni - What Would Compliment Computer Science?

    Haha! Dangerous territory this - asking the TrekBBS advice on potentially life-changing decisions. But what the hell, you're here anyway, so feel free to offer your preferably informed opinion. Anyways... I'm enrolling at University - finally. Comp Sci. major in a BSc. In addition to the...

    I Am Suspected Of Shoplifting. You're KIDDING?!

    Just got back from my local Supermarket feeling pretty gobsmacked. I have shopped there for the last 8 years and gotten to know a few of the staff. Well, only half an hour ago I was at checkout and one of the girls I know asked me if I "want to know a secret?" "Sure." I said. "We think you're...
