The "I told you so" thread...

It isn't glass, sigh

Oh? Was the technobabble so bad that they explained the 'windshield'?

they probably have technology way more advanced that can change the amount of light that gets through the window

I'd hope so. In fact, I'd think the technology would be so good that a window on the bridge will be obsolete.

lol, we are just going in cirlces, you'll never convince me having a window is a bad idea, and i'll never convince you having one is a good idea

at any rate, it doesn't bother me there is a window on the bridge, i highly enjoy the movie and dont' have an issue with it

I thought that's what people did here.

Seeing an image on a viewscreen is very different than seeing something with your own eyes.

Exactly. Try staring at the sun for a few minutes through a pane of clear glass.

Are you suggesting that IQ's will drop substantially by the 23rd century? Or are you just exaggerating in an attempt to prop up your lame position?

Astronauts have insisted on windows since the Mercury missions. I don't recall any astronauts since going blind because they stupidly chose to gaze at the nearest star for a prolonged period of time.

Next weak argument, please.

I'm not to blame because you can't comprehend the negatives of having a large window on the bridge. You may love the way it looks, but it still doesn't make sense.

Maybe that's because they don't have Star Trek's 23rd century imaging technology at their disposal.

Then there's how it makes sense: It looks good. It's still fiction, you know.

Siberius? This is the first I've heard of it.

Maybe it wasn't discussed in this forum, then. But I read about this on another site where people have claimed young Kirk said "Siberius."

You can't trust a kid who's just destroyed an antique Corvette.

Maybe if the car had a viewscreen instead of a window in the front he'd have seen that quarry coming up.

No doubt, but then it wouldn't have been a Classic 'vette, and probably not worth saving.

I was more worried about the fact he just trashed one of the last V-8 engines in existance...

You know his step dad must have spanked him good for that or tried to phaser him. lol
