    Crew Rank Insignia?

    One thing that's tripping me out about this show is that everyone (except Captain Pike and Cadet Uhura) seems to have two rank braids on their sleeve, indicating that they are a Commander. Anyone else notice this? Lot's of people running around with Commander stripes even though they are just a...

    How extensive is medical technology in the 23rd Century UFP?

    Like, what kinds of medical problems do people still suffer with today that are considered ancient problems by the 23rd Century? We know that Dr. McCoy was able to cure a woman's end-stage renal failure with just a pill. (STIV:TVH) We know that arteries in the brain can be repaired without...

    How long should you have tooth pain after getting fillings?

    Monday afternoon I got a filling on a back tooth top left side and a filling on a back tooth bottom left side. The dentist thought we'd get away with both fillings without injectable anesthesia. We got the bottom one done that way, no problem. But the top tooth wasn't so great so we paused so...

    Atari VCS 800, the 2020 Console (Not the original)

    So, is this thing REALLY going to launch soon or is it vaporware? If it does launch, are any of you planning to get it? If it does launch, will it succeed or fizzle?

    US Space Force Ranks? [Speculation]

    Couldn't think of a better forum for this, since it's kind of a "General" topic. As most of you know, the United States created a separate "Space Force" as the sixth branch of the United States military alongside the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force. It was formed largely...

    Alliance of American Football (AAF) 2019 Season

    The first (and maybe last!) season of the Alliance of American Football begins in just a few days. Anyone interested? I am a "sports homer" so I am already a fan of the Arizona Hotshots.

    "Doctor Who New Page" RSS Feed?

    Once upon a time, http://www.doctorwhonews.net/ used to have an RSS feed that I would access from a tab on my my.yahoo.com page. Unfortunately due to a hacking incident I had to deleted my old Yahoo! ID and get a new one, and now I am trying to get my new one all set up, I cannot find an RSS...

    Pink Floyd - The Endless River

    Has anyone else heard this yet? I think the sounds are pleasant enough to listen to, but the album just doesn't have any kind of "soul" to it. It's all just a collection of sounds, to my ears. And, the Floyd has plagiarized itself heavily. I could hear essentially every album they've ever...

    New Black Sabbath Album due out in June!

    First full album with Ozzy Osbourne on vocals since 1978's "Never Say Die"! The drawback, original drummer Bill Ward will not appear. Drum duties will be handled by "session musician" Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave. Album title: 13. Album produced by Rick Rubin...

    A Living Doll

    Got this from another board. This woman looks like a real life Barbie Doll, and uses makeup and contact lenses and so forth to actually LOOK like a doll. Weird. Have a look...

    Help me identify a time travel novel...

    My Mom and Dad had a bunch of old paperback sci-fi novels. I remember one that had sort of a time travel plot. I'm thinking this novel must have been from the 60's or 70's because I read it in probably 1985 and I know it was at least 10 years old by then. Basically if I remember right, it...

    Davy Jones takes the Last Train to Clarksville :(

    http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/29/davy-jones-dead-monkees/#.T05rrfW2aZR Member of 60's TV rock band The Monkees dead at 66. They were a part of my childhood in reruns during the 80s but I have always been fond of their music. Despite the fact that they were a "manufactured" band, they had some...

    Peyton Manning's Future

    I guess the writing is pretty much on the wall, the Colts are going to dump Peyton Manning and draft Andrew Luck. That just leaves one (two part) question. Will he actually play in 2012 and if so, for which team? Our local news radio is making a lot of noise about the Arizona Cardinals being...

    Marvel's 50th Anni this year... will they celebrate...

    ... Timely's 75th in 2014? I think Marvel should embrace their roots. After all, the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, Captain America, these heroes all started in the Golden Age Timely Comics. Hell, Timely's first comic was CALLED "Marvel Comics". I agree with celebrating the 50th Anniversary...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic anticipation thread.

    Is there a lot of interest in this game here among us at TBBS? I think I will at least get into for the free month you get when you buy the game, at a bare minimum. I'm also kinda surprised there wasn't a release data mentioned at E3.

    Piers Wenger out, Faith Penhale in...

    ... as Head of Dramas for BBC Wales. Seems he's still going to be involved with Doctor Who though. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2011/03/dwn070311181508-piers-wenger-steps-down.html

    Marvel soon to lose right to use Kirby's created characters?

    Quite possibly, but not necessarily. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101201/film_nm/us_marvel If I read this right, the long and the short of it is that when Jack Kirby died, his estate put Marvel on notice that they intended to "terminate copyright". Marvel counter-sued, claiming that Kirby's...

    Erica Leerhsen - Hottest Woman in the World?

    Who decided this? I suppose she's good looking, but there are tons better out there. I think UGO is putting me on with their Knight and Day ad!

    MLB's "National League" is the world's oldest...

    ... existing professional team sports league! I was very surprised to hear this. I would have thought that one of the associating football leagues would have that honor, but apparently not!
