    Romulan Question

    In In By Inferno’s Light, the Romulans show up at DS9 to make a stand against a likely Dominion invasion, yet by the end of season, they’ve made a non-aggression pact with the Dominion, which holds until Sisko brings them into the war later. My question is, why did the Romulans decide to do a...

    The Schizoid Man/Measure of a Man Parallels

    I was just re-watching The Schizoid Man and I noticed a lot of themes in the episode that are re-explored in Measure of a Man. First off, "Data Graves" initially refuses to relinquish control over Data's body, saying that he is nothing more than a machine, with Picard arguing for his sentience...

    First Time Watch: Conscience of the King

    I'm watching TOS all the way through for the first time and finally watched this episode. I was left wondering, did the episode definitively establish that the actor who died at the end of the episode *was* actually Kodos The Executioner? I feel like it did, but I don't think they ever...

    Redemption Part 2 Question

    In Redemption Part 1, Picard time and time again frets openly (especially to Worf) about getting the Enterprise (and by extension the Federation) involved in the Klingon Civil War- to the point that it forces Worf's hand, leading to his resignation from Starfleet so that he can fight in the...

    PlutoTV TNG Update

    After cycling through only the first 4 seasons of TNG for nearly a year, PlutoTV has *finally* started showing Season 5 episodes now as well! After re-broadcasting S1 yesterday, I woke up today and flipped the TNG channel on expecting to see a S2 episode but landing on "Silicon Avatar" instead...

    Indiana Jones & Last Crusade: Elsa Question

    One thing that I never fully understood from Indiana Jones was whether Elsa betrayed Donovan, leading to his death, or truly made a fatal error by choosing the wrong cup? The movie seems to leave this ambiguous, at least to me. Does anybody want to weigh in on this? I've never heard this...

    Alien/Aliens Ship (Derelict) Question

    Is there any in-canon information about the fate of the Derelict housing the Xenomorph Eggs on LV-426 post-Aliens/destruction of Hadley's Hope colony? I just got done reading the ADF novelization and Ripley and Hicks talked about nuking it along with the colony right before the dropship crashed...

    Why the hate for "Too Short A Season"

    I know that most S1 episodes are "dodgy" for one reason or another but I'm surprised that this episode winds up on a lot of top worst episodes list of S1. I think that it's a rather interesting, albeit tragic episode, which is usually uncharacteristic of most Star Trek episodes (at least before...

    BTVS "Bad Girls" Question

    Just rewatched the BTVS episode "Bad Girls" from S3 and I have been wondering what the deal is/was with the Deputy Mayor and his unexpected appearance near the battle between Faith, Buffy, and the Vampires that resulted in his untimely and accidental death. Was it ever explained (or did I just...

    Ron Jones' score for "Boobytrap"

    I just saw "Boobytrap" for, yes, the first time (I took out my S3 collection and put it on for background noise while working at home) and, besides being a good episode IMHO, it was difficult not to overlook the score that Jones composed for the episode, most notably the melodic nod to Jerry...

    Star Wars ANH Luke Question

    Luke wanted to go to "The Academy" at the start of the movie but if he had, wouldn't he have been joining the Empire- as they were the only entity with an actual starfleet at the time? Who did he figure would be training him? Though that wouldn't really make a lot of sense since he knows of...

    Star Wars: AOTC Question

    I got to thinking about AOTC the other day and was wondering about all of the great new military hardware that the Republic suddenly had in its possession and where it came from? We all know about the Clones, of course, but who built all of the cruisers, gunships, walkers, etc. that they...

    Why didn't the Federation salvage Empok Nor?

    Following the events of "Empok Nor", would it not have made sense for the Federation to take control of Empok Nor and make it into a Federation starbase a la Deep Space Nine? Seems like a missed opportunity to me though I suppose that it's possible that they might not have had the time and/or...

    "Guilty Little Pleasure Episodes"

    Does anybody have any DS9 episodes they like to re-watch that might not be considered to best in the series (or maybe even a "bad" episode) but you can't help but enjoy it nonetheless? Mine is "Distant Voices" from S3, probably because it prominently features Bashir and Garak, one of the most...

    What Did I Miss (re: Waltz)?

    What happened between the time that Dukat seemed to attack Sisko by the runabout and the Defiant gets a message (from Dukat?) about Sisko's whereabouts? Why did he spare Sisko and, more importantly, why did he bother to let the Defiant crew know where he was so that they could save him? That...

    Was anybody surprised by Dukat striking a deal with the Dominion?

    Did anybody like that it seemed to come out of nowhere? I mean, in retrospect, it seems like something that an opportunist like Dukat would do under the right circumstances- and the events of S4, specifically, the overthrow of the Central Command, the Klingon invasion of Cardassia, his demotion...

    Stargate SG-1 Audio Dramas on iTunes?

    I was recently surfing around iTunes and discovered a series of Stargate SG-1 spoken word albums (audio dramas?) on iTunes and was wondering if anybody has heard them and if they are any good? There are no reviews so far for any of them. They came out last March and don't seem to be available...

    Post DW questions

    It's been awhile since I've seen WYLB, so maybe it was explained/discussed (or maybe it wasn't) but what exactly happened to the Female Founder after signing the surrender treaty? I thought that, for some reason, she was allowed to return to the GL but I think that I saw something else that...

    First Contact (Ep) Discussion

    What do people think about the Malcorians and whether or not they eventually joined the Federation- or likely will sometime in the future? I always thought it was an intriguing episode, both in learning how the Federation officially conducts "first contact" with another alien race, Picard's...
