Americentrism: Except Picard in France....

[Paul Weaver]

Aside from San Francisco scenes on earth are few and far between and very scattered. In fact I'm

Now characters certainly are Ameri-centric

Kirk - Yank

Picard - French

Sisko - Yank

Janeway - Yank

Archer - Yank

I don’t really see it as being different than Doctor Who which is almost exclusively UK-centric.

 

[CoveTom]

You said you didn’t watch “most of DIS, SFA”

Perhaps you’d be happier in the YouTube cesspit if you think Star Trek is “Dreck”

Or perhaps someone can be a fan of Trek and a participant in TrekBBS without having to like every show? I find Enterprise to be dull and boring and have never been able to watch it. Must I pack my bags and leave now?

Which makes a whole lot of sense. Much like I expect Doctor Who to be British.

As far as I know Gen Y *are* the Millennials, not that such pointless labeling means anything anyway.

Q once showed Picard a place on earth that probably doesn't even exist as a landmass anymore, 3.5 billion years old. Yay archea.

But, what gen was that?!

 

[XCV330]

0? They were into weird shit like chemosynthesis and passing on traits through RNA.

According to Q, that was France:

Don't you recognise your old stomping grounds? This is Earth, France, about, oh, three and a half billion years ago, give or take an eon or two. Smells awful, doesn't it? All that sulphur and volcanic ash.

 

[BillJ]

According to Q, that was France:

Was it where France currently was or where the French nation would've been located back then?

 

[Turtletrekker]

Was it where France currently was or where the French nation would've been located back then?

Yes.

 

[Danja]

is there any place on earth outside the US ever featured in Star Trek?

Tom Paris was in prison in New Zealand on Voyager.

All this hand wringing about Earth locations while there isn't one single scene on Earth's moon, Luna.

Not one. Travesty.

Pretty looney if you ask me.

 

[Ragitsu]

Even the Enterprise-D's resident Canadian and Irishman can't get enough of the U S of A.

Riker is from Alaska.

Enterprise spends plenty of time on both The Moon and Mars in 2 of its last 3 episodes.

 

[Frontis]

Well Start Trek plays in a time where there are no more countries and continents. But since it was made in the USA...

 

[CoveTom]

Riker is from Alaska.

Maybe Alaska has finally been conquered by the Canadians?
