ENDGAME - Good ensemble piece!

Not necessarily. Some people today might want to discuss things that people 8 years ago didn't much care for
And besides, don't most threads only stay on topic for a couple of pages anyway before going wildly off topic. If i bumped a 200 post thread, i reckon only about 20 of the posts would actually be about what the OP brought up.....the rest of it would just be pizza, Chuck Norris films, 18th century Mexican poetry, sexual positions, favourite hairstyles and a debate about the validity of Disco as a musical genre

Yes, it's considered bad form to bump threads more than a year old, much less 8 years. If the topic interests you, it's better to just make a new topic about it.
The main reason for this is because the members who originally created and then added to this 8 year old topic are most likely long gone from this site, so if one was trying to respond to them, it most likely won't happen.

In this case the OP was last active 7-9-14 so just under 5 months ago. But what Dukhat says is quite likely true, sure there are some of us that have been around for a long time. I could use the term "old timers" but "learned elders" sounds better.
Got cha covered!
So you've clicked Multi Quote on every post you've decided to include
NOW....
Scroll down to just under the last post on any page you are on.
IMMEDIATELY UNDER that last post on the far left side of the page (and 'before' you reach the Quick Reply box/window).... you will see:
POST REPLY
Click 'POST REPLY' and you're there!
It will look exactly like a regular reply window and ALL your clicked on posts will be sitting there waiting for you to respond. You will see that just as in the regular reply window everything you are seeing is editable. Therefore if you were only responding to one sentence in a great big post you can delete everything but that one sentence.
Repeat in each included post as desired.
And it is just like a regular reply in that you must Reply 'outside' of the quotes or your reply will appear to 'be' part of the quote.
If you click Preview Post when you think you're done it will show you your post and you'll see any corrections you might need to take.
As in all posts you can move everything into the order you want to talk about it. So your first quoted post can, if you want, be cut and pasted to be at the bottom.
I'm pretty sure you can now take over on your own, however, I know when I'm learning something new I can still get to a point I need to ask more questions. So if you get to a point...... I'll be watching for you in this thread for a few days to answer any follow-up questions if you have them.
(And probably there will be others showing up who can do even more for answering further questions.)
I thought Endgame was a good episode but it left me wanting more.
Also, I felt bad for B'Elanna. So brave of her to tell Tom to get back to the bridge because they needed their best pilot. So selfless. If that had been me I would have been like "Screw them! You're staying with me!" He should have been there for Miral's birth, IMO.

I think there could be a middle ground here. Hux mentioned if the thread is short (1-3 pages), hasn't devolved, carries an interesting thought, and is still opened it carries with it a kind of invitation to add to the thought.
Not a crime at all, and I do see your point. Starting the discussion over multiple times can be very interesting, worthwhile.
Here's the thing, in a thread a conversation can be picked up, continued, at any time. Years after the originators of the conversations might go to join the hereafter they can still remain part of the ongoing conversation when the new voices arrive to join with theirs. Their voices need not be swept away for the new.
I see beauty in the new voices joining with the past voices in the conversation. And quoting a voice from long ago might only mean responding to something meaningful that had been said long ago which had moved the new voice to speak now.
But I also see the wisdom in being judicious in joining in on past thread. Picking a meaningful one over a contentious one. Picking a short one over a long one. Picking an episode one over a What Went Wrong With.. one.
There is merit in seeing when it is time to start over in a fresh discussion on a topic. There is also a beauty in joining with the voices that came before us in a thread that can still bring meaning and new thought.
Perhaps a middle ground of thought on this could be approached rather than an absolute.
C/7 horror aside, I loved "Endgame"
Seems this thread has wandered off topic into a discussion about thread protocol...
I do not mind an older thread as long as the topic is interesting- I have not been here for as long as most so it is new to me somewhat.
I liked parts of Endgame but some things bothered me. If they had Tuvok exhibiting some symptoms for a couple of episodes foreshadowing his illness it would have been better. To have it suddenly be so big an issue was jarring and for somebody who was not entirely in the grip of his facilities the medical quarters he was in seemed full of dangerous objects. Reg should have either been promoted more of be a civilian researcher IMO.
On the plus side, Tom becoming a writer is not too different than Geordi becoming one in AGT- never saw that one coming either. Nice to see Kim with his own ship, he seemed to fit the role better in the future than in Nightingale.

Well, in the alternate time line the un-stabbed Picard was still a lieutenant Junior grade at 67. Apparently, you don't get to be a captain if you don't die a few times.
Just like Geordi in Picard's future writes novels too, even though he never showed any inclination to that on the show.
In Nightingale they wanted to show that the shoes were still a bit too big for him to fill.
You really think it was such a bad pairing?
C/7 made no sense at all. They had no chemistry and had no build up towards a relationship during those four years. Just thrown together last minute.
Admiral Janeway needed justification for screwing with history. Even the writers knew her decision to change the past was idiotic. Their solution was to put her three favourite people in jeopardy therefore (possibly) justifying her erratic behaviour.
Tuvok has some terrible illness that wasn't ever mentioned until Endgame and Seven and Chakotay have a profoundly deep and meaningful romance (that also didn't get mentioned until Endgame)
They needn't have bothered....it was still idiotic (perhaps more so)

What about Itchy and Naomi? (PS. I hated Itchy)
Or Sam Wildman, Vorick (hated him to cause he got the part from Mommy Jeri Taylor)?

I thought seven cast a spell on Chakotay.
