    If Fajo Had Shot Data Not Varia

    ...would he be up on murder charges?

    Trekker's Wild

    Here's a little game that might be fun. Anyone and everyone is welcome to play: Say a clue from the shows or movies (Prime Universe only), and the next poster tries to guess if it's Alien Tech Trekker's Wild. Then the winner leaves the next clue. Aliens - can be names, roles or races, etc...

    Only the Good Die Young

    What are some good shows that ended too soon? I was thinking that rather than get depressed by their tragically cut-short existence, to put them together into a sort of Super Series of Splendidness. Also if you want to mention television series, fan series, viral videos, or audio theater, then...

    Which F/SF Series Are You In? (Quiz)

    Which fantasy sci-fi TV series do you belong in? Do you approve of your answer? (Why/not)? Is there an alternative you would choose for yourself? I would not have guessed this one for myself, but I'd be in Doctor Who. Approved! Alternative: I think...Mutant X. Maybe a Molecular with kung fu...

    Why would Lore want Data's emotion chip?

    Lore was already capable of emotion. He told Data in Brothers that he didn't have to imagine; he knew how hard it's been, and that Data would be surprised. That Data might even be able to understand his "evil" brother. Lore was jealous and wanted to deprive Data of his birthright - but what...

    Poll (When) Will the Robots Take Your Job?

    Q1. Will a robot take your job? A1. My result: Assimilate This More Future Thinking About Stuff... So this week Foxconn has begun making the switch to robots on the iPhone production line. They are cutting 60,000 factory worker jobs in China. As it has become financially viable to make...

    Elder brother Robert Picard

    I was just watching BoBW and Family and it occured to me. Jean Luc's brother Robert was obviously still in pain from a lifetime of his younger brother's greatness, memories of rivalry and some friendly abuse between them, and of course, resentment at his younger brother's freedom to "not be...

    How Would You Spend $1T a year?

    A trillion bucks US per year of society's money. What would you do with it if it were your job to allocate this money - on behalf of society? And if you can't think in terms of how you would "fix" the world, maybe just narrow it down to "making a positive contribution." (Oh and the reason we...

    Where No Plot Has Gone Before

    Well it may be true that all the plots have been written in one form or another. And you certainly find tropes reused in abundance between different series. This question asks, When did Star Trek reuse a plot from its own franchise; or a from another franchise or story? One that comes to mind...

    Lazer Team

    Lazer Team is a pretty funny sci fi comedy from Rooster Teeth Productions. Thought I'd mention it here because the poster looks like some kids' generic knockoff Power Rangers thing, but it's actually for the Gen Xer set. If you liked Space Milkshake or Hot Tub Time Machine, you might like this...

    The UFO Stigma

    in the Project Blue Book era, UFO sightings were debunked by the US government. This may have been due to the same reasons that NASA wrote Stephen Spielberg a 20 page letter imploring him not to make Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Concerns over the possibilities of mass hysteria Spielberg...

    Would B-4 turn into Data?

    At the end of Nemesis, we see Data's programming-consciousness beginning to emerge in the B4 android in the form of a tune, and Picard feeling reassured that Data was not completely gone. Would Data's programming come to full fruition à la Spock in TSFS? ("Jean Wuc. You're name...is Jean...

    The Maquis Captain: Thomas Riker

    What would it have been like if Thomas Riker had been the Maquis captain that Voyager was after in Caretaker? Would he have become Jane's Number One with a bullet? Would Thomas have played jazz with the Kimtones? I could see a far more pioneery Resolutions, a very cool Worst Case Scenario...

    Name That Trek

    Just for fun, try to guess the Trek series and episode from as little information as possible - a line, or action, set element or screenshot, etc. Post your answer, then pose your puzzler. Movies 1-10 (up to Nemesis) ok too. For example: Geordi LaForge, arguing with Leah Brahms. Booby Trap...

    Gagh in your teeth

    When gagh was first introduced in Klingon culture, in A Matter of Honor, Riker prepared for his exchange to the Klingon ship by eating gagh. On the Klingon ship, though, the Klingon Lieutenant Klag gave him a plate of live gagh, with the innocent affectation, "Gagh is always best when served...

    Janeway's Ethics

    What do you think about them? Was she consistent? If not, do any examples stand out in your memory? In Equinox, one of the major themes was Distance vs Ethics. The contrast between Captain Janeway adhering to Starfleet principles despite their irrelevance in the quadrant, and Captain Ransom...

    Random Verdict: A Clockwork Orange

    Warning: Spoiler Zone (and if you need a spoiler warning for a 1971 film then I probably can't help you). This is not a review. Goodness knows there are plenty of better written analyses around. Random Verdict: A feelgood movie for the criminally insane. If you haven't before, put it on your...
