    What Song Are You Listening to Right Now

    Shriekback Everything That Rises Must Converge

    What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

    admittedly there are some who don't really understand Kes and that Fury was really where her character came into her own narratively.

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    there's a bit of a look between Spock and Uhura during the musical bit of Charlie X. Oh there was absolutely something going on there.

    What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

    I think we should have had a season arc with Fury Kes causing mayhem across the quadrant. She could have killed Neelix for taking advantage of her as a youngster, and continually sought revenge from a Voyager now forced to flee her instead of trying to get back home.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Happy Birthday, Jim. I smuggled a cannister of Romulan Matlock VHS tapes. I know you don't like the show but it's that time in your life when you need to start watching it.

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    the perfect tune for quiet jogs and walkman garroting.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    there is a lot about TWOK that doesn't hold up. Kirk forced to us actual glass reading glasses because there's only one cure for his visual problem and he's allergic to it. Starfleet getting the number of planets on a star system they not only previously surveyed, but actually exiled one of the...

    How to build a black hole bomb

    suspending your crew in breathable PFC's could make much of the g load bearable as well. or even just regular water with breathing systems attached.

    The Global Football Thread

    So as an American fan that mostly watches MLS and other D2 and D3 leagues domestically, if I were to want to enjoy Premier League more next year, is there a good reason why I shouldn't be all into Villa?

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    even the first line of the main song "hey driver.. where we going?" is just lyrically great for a bond theme. even if its not my favorite bond song. *They should have went with the end-title song by Pretenders, "If There Was a Man" but they wanted to capture lightning in a bottle twice with...

    How to build a black hole bomb

    stay out of the event horizon.

    Complete Star Trek Timeline (why not?)

    a fission powered Orion class ship (pusher plate, atomic bomb detonation) could conceivably reach about 1/10 of c. Fast enough for trips anywhere in the inner solar system, outer solar system and for long trips to the nearest stars, using 1960's technology, for the most part. The only reason...

    Would different "types" of phasers make sense?

    There must be thousands lost in the cushions of Ent-D

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    Kirk was married to his ship. I think Kirk and Spock were written as having a very strong friendship, but it didn't seem to have a romantic tone to it. If there was some mutual infatuation they would have gotten over it to get their jobs done. Anyone going on a five year mission would have had...

    What Tech do Pirate Ships in Trek need to be effective?

    Lots and lots of small craft, swarm attack against cargo ships. hit fast, take stuff, leave stranded, go before the local authority arrives. It requires accepting massive losses but these are theoretical pirates, not the glee club. It also allows for cheaply obtainable craft, or even built...

    Would different "types" of phasers make sense?

    I was speaking in a modern parlance, not historical or fictional, sorry. In carry/conceal circles, belly gun often just means any tiny firearm that is designed as a last ditch weapon, to just get away from an attack. It's not designed with a shootout in mind and usually only weighs a few ounces...

    Would different "types" of phasers make sense?

    I'm aware of point shooting. I've known some people into cowboy action shooting, that can manage it. I wasn't taught to do it, and wasting expensive ammo at the range trying to learn to be Yosemite Sam didn't interest me. They generally use very underpowered rounds (mouse farts) to do it, so...

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    I remember as a kid being super embarrassed to even say I'd been to Octopussy. (why couldn't they have just went with "Property of a Lady" if they needed a Flemming title), but yeah, A View To A Kill is approachable. I never really understood the issue of Moore's age. It never bothered me then...

    Would different "types" of phasers make sense?

    going on with aiming assist, or not.. one has to consider what even is the best method of holding a pointed weapon for aiming. Rifle and handgun designs are all predicated on kickback. Early arquebus design, following from hand gonnes, had a stock similar to a crossbow, but this did not provide...
