    That "barion sweep" in Starship mine...

    I just thought about that, the episode says it's lethal to organic matter and that the whole ship is exposed to it... wouldn't that mean that all the plants in the arboretum (and the "Mal" area from the ship maps) were destroyed in that episode?

    Was TNG less progressive than TOS?

    So pretty much everybody here probably knows that I don't care much for TOS. But lately I have been thinking about something in regards to both the original show and TNG. Yes, TOS is very outdated today as far as gender dynamics and other aspects of mid-20th century goes. But still, the series...

    Spoilers Kilana's Fate

    So I'm spending my self-quarantine watching DS9. And there's several episodes I've never seen. Including the Ship. So I really liked Kilana (I like the Vorta in general) but is it fair to assume that she was probably executed by the Dominon for failing to save that Founder? In such an event...

    Is Troi nobility?

    When watching TNG episodes centered around Troi and/or Lwaxana one of the things that pain me is how little we actually ever learn of Betazed. They often have Lwaxana rattle down her exotic string of titles "Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx and Heir to the Holy...

    Are Ferengi Ships upside down? "up" and "down" in space.

    A discussion in another thread made me remember that when I first saw the Ferengi ship in "The Last Outpost" I, somehow felt that it looked "upside down" in relation to the Enterprise. Now looking at it in pictures I don't have a that strong feeling about it anymore, but still think that it...

    Lal - One of TNG's biggest missed opportunities?

    So one of the biggest reasons I prefer TNG over TOS is that it gave all its major characters at least some sort of family. This made them, at least to me, more realistic and interesting. However I am also aware that TNG never utilized this idea of families on board as good as it could have. One...

    What was the first episode you have ever watched?

    Hey a discussion about Trek and whether it is accessible to children made me remember the first Star Trek episode I ever saw, how old I was and how I felt about it: The first episode I ever saw was DS9's "the Quickening". It was the year before I entered school. Obviously the AIDs metaphor...

    Should they just have ditched uniforms and protocol?

    Hey, One thing about Voyage I just can't get over with is that in Season 4 they got rid of Kes instead of useless wallpaper like Harry Kim, so I like to every now and then think that there is an alternative universe where Seven of Nine replaced Harry instead of Kes. And the other day it came...

    Andromeda's Trance Gemini - Troi as she should have been?

    Hey-o, my name is Orphalesion and I have a confession to make; when I was a little kid Counselor Deanna Troi was, hands down, my favorite Star Trek character. She was exotic, stood out in the crowd thanks to her custom uniforms and had cool mental powers, what was not to love? I even hated...
