Okay, so, I come before you humbly to share my love of perhaps one of the most hilariously goofy and yet one of my favorite TNG episodes. I come before you humbly, fellow Trekkoids, Trekkies, Trekkers and Trekwhateveryouprefers, to speak of Masks. I'm not here to tell you Masks is strictly...

THE BIGJAKE STAR TREK: DISCOVERY REWATCH THREAD Hi, everyone! I'm a long-time TrekBBS member, but I don't believe I've posted in this particular forum very much. I aim to change that with this thread. I'm a DISCO fan; it did for me on the small screen what Star Trek: Beyond did on the big...

No, this is not a thread about how hot Beth Toussaint was (and/or is) or her resemblance to Sarah Connor. It's simply about Ishara Yar turning out to be unexpectedly interesting as a character who had her own particular sense of integrity. I recently rewatched "Legacy." And I realize afresh how...

Kivas Fajo is among my purest love-to-hate villains in Trek canon. Just a petty, vicious, murderous, greedy little shit, albeit a brilliant and conniving one... which is what makes him such a perfect specimen of villainy. IMO, Trek canon could use more villains like him. On rewatching "The Most...

I admit it: I largely gave up on DS9 once the Dominion War arc started and missed out on some great Trek as a result, a mistake I'm rectifying now. This means that today is literally the first time I saw "The Visitor," and... oh my God. I did not contemplate the possibility of any Trek episode...

[hahaha wrong forum - please delete]

Hi everyone: I'm doing an ESL course right now (for teaching ESL!) and I'm tasked to survey some English language usage with people of diverse backgrounds. TrekBBS came to mind as a collection of diverse and helpful souls, so I'm wondering if I can get a few of you to take the following little...

I'm put in mind of this in the wake of watching Dark Matter, Jessica Jones and Daredevil, and a few other shows besides. There are some pretty impressive villain performances hitting the small screen these days. Which are your faves? My contenders (not all of these are SF but most are, which is...

Since we've done The End, let's do The Beginning. First Frames -- or just something from the first scene -- of your favourite SF&F films (or shows, or episodes of shows). No restriction as to franchise or subject matter, usual avatar rules and restrictions apply. Good luck! I'll start us off...

Lucas famously opined that Star Wars is about families, not about spaceships. Maybe so... but still, you gotta love the spaceships. :) And Star Wars offers a rich selection to choose from. This one is for your favourite speeders, fighters, corvettes, destroyers, cruisers, capital ships, and...

Here we go! Vote for three (3) and, of course, not your own. NaughtyJake -- The Taelons (Earth: Final Conflict) Chubby Cox -- The Vorlons (Babylon 5) The Ghost of Christmas 80s -- The Beings of Light (Original Battlestar Galactica) auntiehill -- The Grey Aliens (Close Encounters of the...

Posted without poll because I suck. Fixing.

Since our last contest was about animals in SF, I thought I'd take this one to the other end of the spectrum. This one is for the Sufficiently Advanced Alien, whose technology and/or highly-evolved intelligence and/or psionic powers and/or status as a Being of Pure Energy makes them seem almost...

We're heading into the month of Christmas and Hanukkah, but the month of December is host to myriad other festivals -- both religious and secular -- from a host of different cultures. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter an avatar celebrating one of the December festivals...

Just got back from watching the UFC exhibition in Australia, whose centerpiece of course was the latest Ronda Rousey fight. Lots of interesting surprises: Anyone who watched the fight and has thoughts about it should feel free to post them here.

Hey everybody: I was originally going to make this contest about parodies... until I realized that so many things are send-ups of earlier spoofs that the problems of definition there would get tricky. So instead, this one is simply about Science Fiction and Fantasy Comedies. Avatars can come...
