    Why did the Federation tolerate some elements of Vulcan culture that actually may cause great harm to individuals?

    Heck. The Search for Spock doesn't work with the TNG conception of the Federation! They take asylum on Vulcan. Sarek goes to "your (Kirk's) government".

    Why did the Federation tolerate some elements of Vulcan culture that actually may cause great harm to individuals?

    So as long as the Federation (presumably the part of the Federation that is not Vulcan) can say that it's doing that then anything goes? What's your limiting principle here?

    Why did the Federation tolerate some elements of Vulcan culture that actually may cause great harm to individuals?

    Under what authority would they not? And who is The Federation? Why would Vulcan be a member if its culture is ignored or outlawed?

    Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

    How come every time I peek in a SNW thread everybody is talking about food? Is this a Pike thing?

    How big was the Enterprise?

    For what? For flying from L.A. to Paris? Yes. Earth to Vulcan? Probably. For encountering any conceivable unknown for decades at a time? How much space do you need for that? Nobody needs that.

    How big was the Enterprise?

    Re: TOS - Since we know that none of this stuff actually lines up, why don't we go with how big they SAID it was? Other than while they were making the pilot they were pretty consistent over three seasons to say it's about 1000 feet long. Then they made TMP. And they said it was 1000' long...

    Star Trek TOS Re-Watch

    Does someone have a link to a good biography of William Shakespeare? Louis Armstrong? Lots of questions and contradictions. Before the modern age it wouldn't be THAT hard. Esp. if a) you've done it before and b) you're Flint. Oh, and c) it's not someone is EXPECTING to be notable or...

    How big was the Enterprise?

    That is the established size the Galaxy Class, right? So how does that make the Galaxy less huge? By saying that the Constitution was more huge? They're more than 100 years apart. And presumably had different jobs (even though one wouldn't know by watching lots of TNG). The Galaxy makes less...

    It was another step in the Data-fication of Spock.

    I was going to say "Sounds like J.M. Dillard trying to make the movie make more sense to her."

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I was just watching the beginning of The Ultimate Computer. McCoy: "Did you see the love light in Spock's eyes? The right computer finally came along." So for all of these years there have been people who have defended Dr. Pulaski's treatment of Data by saying "Hey, you never had a problem with...

    How big was the Enterprise?

    I admit there are weirder things. (I forget the exact details but there was an airplane that if you painted the wrong side of the elevators first it would crash. I want to say Bonanzas.) But I'm not buying it on such a scale as rotating the whole bridge. And only for the 1701. Now if they had...
