Picard: "I would never ask you to risk yourself Raffi...just give me a ship and a name even though I could get a ship very easily without you....and I will leave! I would never say that I need you or your mind or your insights....even though that is exactly what I just did. "
 
Picard: "I would never ask you to risk yourself Raffi...just give me a ship and a name even though I could get a ship very easily without you....and I will leave! I would never say that I need you or your mind or your insights....even though that is exactly what I just did. "
Episode 3 about 15 minutes in he says he needs her mind, the computer skills she's using at that 18 minute scene of the same episode.

No ships.

At the 40 minute scene she asks to hitch a ride with him.
Again no ship.

No ship does she have. Picard never asks her to come.
 
No, the good Gov doesnt have the goods. But apparently if I keep shooting down these dumb dumb posts (PIcard asked for HER, and wanted HER....he doesnt know how to get a ship without her? Thats nonsense) I get blamed for keeping dead arguments alive and beating a dead horse.
See what I mean? If I answer in any way, I am keeping this going.
The problem is, the way these forums work, you can't go on and on about something for so many posts and god knows how many pages and not expect people to pop up and respond to those old posts. I could tell everybody to drop the subject or else, but even then many would probably continue responding before even having gotten to my post.

I chose not to respond to your last post to me, because I could see from your activity that you were making an effort to get away from the subject. (And because your response brought the facts, though you came to a different conclusion from them. Fair enough.)

If you earnestly want to get away from the subject, then you may just have to be the bigger poster and let the continuing challenges to your old posts go. We'll be on the next episode in a couple of days and this thread will be old news. And I'd advise reconsidering behavior that might get the same pattern going in the next thread.

Putting ranter and raver Gov Kodos on ignore. Nite nite.
This I have to at least give a verbal caution for...policy around here has long been that publicly stating that you're putting somebody on Ignore is considered Trolling, an actionable offense. I won't hand out an infraction this time, but don't do it again.

@Gov Kodos , I think we can take Tarek71 at his word regarding the Ignore, in which case there seems little point to continuing to respond to his posts.
 
Good lord I can't wait for episode 1x5 and to see what new circular arguments it brings. Will Picard's eye patch, be eye patchy enough? Will Freecloud be a moral mary casueno? Why is Picard asking seven of nine to help him instead of norah satie? The possibilities are endless.

Why is Bruce Maddox, who was a very by-the-book, the law is the law, type of person in MoaM participating in illegal activities 25 years later?

We absolutely need an "Predict the Outrage of the Week" thread for every new episode. The speculation is more fun than the actual outrage
Let's face it, it'll be probably about Seven emoting at all. "Oh no, the reserved and coldly logical Borg has lived twenty-plus years without the Collective and has become more human in the meantime? That's not character development, that's a total bastardization of everything that character has ever been about!!!" Most posters will point out it's been twenty years since the last time we saw her, and the most common criticism will be that her cortical node had already almost killed her in Voyager when she became too emotional. And as a bonus, some posters will point out that the Doctor had already scheduled an appointment to remove her cortical node in Endgame and presumably went through it, and it will be disregarded by the detractors without consideration.

Also: No mention of Janeway, Kim or Tuvix who could easily help on the mission but weren't asked
 
what? where did you get THAT from?
If she had a ship and a piloting license, do you think she'd be stuck on Earth in the middle of nowhere smoking weed?

IDK, having your own place out in the desert, drinking booze and smoking weed doesnt sound like that bad a life. Besides, she knows so many people with ships, but she cant get a job? An ex-Starfleet commander?

OMG...you mean that some people might have the audacity to not like the episode?!? Dont these nitpicking, crybaby drama queens know that liking ALL episodes is required!

IDK about you, but I am looking forward to a great episode! It will be the first great one of the season, but hope springs eternal!

Disliking an episode is fine. Arguing about the same shit over and over across two threads and 60 pages because some pedant HAS to be right loses it's likeability pretty quickly.
