  • I see it in his eyes, the longing.

  • Isn't that the guy that played Unicron?

  • Names and remembering

    Jump

  • I'll admit outright that I'm just not interested in most people.

    But I'm terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

    It's kind of bizarre.

  • I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

  • Wild Moment GOP Senator Helps Toss Ex-Marine Protestor Out of Hearing

    Jump

  • It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

  • After Iran's shock, there's a question Beijing cannot avoid

    Jump

  • In this case, I'm referring to the description it had during and before WW1, "the sick man of Europe." I'm not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

    And I see your point, since I didn't specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.

  • I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

    I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.

  • the whole political system will lose its credibility

    I think that ship has sailed.

  • Our government isn't quite a case of Trump's word is law. And it was only two years ago that we had a nearly functional government. When Trump finally does the only good thing he will ever do, we have something to fall back on.

  • Does Might Make Right?

    Jump

  • Always has. Always will. (for a given value of "right.")

    Civilization is an effort to be better than that. Occasionally, we succeed.

  • Also, that one didn't seem to leave any scars.

    I think that refusing to hold her hand was unforgivable.

  • I mentioned to my wife, after Sam had asked, that the Doctor had, in fact, been in love at least once, and maybe three times, but I wasn't sure one of them counted.

    Seems I was wrong. That one did count.

  • I wonder why the old TOS fans like me are less impatient with fundamentals of human existence being presented through the growth of young adults?

    I'm a TNG person myself. One thing that I very much liked about TNG, DS9, SNW, and to an extent VOY was the competency porn. (And then totally inverted in LDK)

    This show doesn't have much of that. It doesn't even have what ENT had, which learning to be the professionals we want to see. This is still kids learning to be adults. That's a different journey entirely.

    Don't get me wrong, I quite like it. But it has issues. But then, don't they all?

    Regarding "The Life of Stars" and to all of you

    Jump

  • I'll stop picking nits when I'm cold and dead. We trekkies have a reputation to uphold, after all.

    But I've go nothing of substance that I object to. It's a bloody good show.

  • Does anyone have a debunk for eucharistic miracles?

    Jump

  • I used to be Catholic. Every Sunday, they performed the transubstantiation on the hosts and the wine. Every Sunday, I subjected both to analysis by one of the most sensitive chemical sensing device in the world.

    Every week, it came back as Styrofoam and wine. Never once was it meat or blood.

  • Trump Menaces Iran With Massive Armada Capable of Prolonged War

    Jump

  • We are talking about the Navy, right?

    And yes, Iran is a bigger, better armed country, so we should use more stuff to attack them.

    Assuming we aren't gong to do the sane thing and not attack them.

  • Might have been. But there are dozens of us.

  • Spanish Court Orders ProtonVPN and NordVPN to Block Pirate Football Streams

    Jump

  • I trust they replied "lol, no."

  • The ideal ship form

    Jump

  • According to the TNG tech manual, the smooth curves of the ship makes it easier to maintain a warp field in a shape that uses less power while traveling at warp. So, not aerodynamic, but voidynamic, or something.

  • As ICE Buys Up Warehouses, Even Some Trump Voters Say No

  • In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

    Always has been. Sometimes my enemy's enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.
