Can't believe some of the shit I've read in this thread.

Re: children and dying pets

A couple of years ago, we had to put down our dog who had been in our family for nearly two decades. My brother's step-daughters were told about it (they knew her and played with her and our other dog whenever they came to visit, but she was never 'their' dog so to speak), who were around the same a...

Re: Lead a pre-emptive strike against the Empire!

which thanks to the EU we're told there's only one planet in the entire GFFA which supplies bacta. Having a secondary source of medicine that works on different principles to bacta = HUEG advantage. Doesn't Thyferra have colonies where Bacta is produced also? Still one planet controlling the proces...

Re: Lead a pre-emptive strike against the Empire!

That's right, and there's other possibilities too. Medical technology in ST seems to be way more advanced than in SW, which thanks to the EU we're told there's only one planet in the entire GFFA which supplies bacta.

Re: Lead a pre-emptive strike against the Empire!

What could the Federation possibly offer the New Republic in terms of military aid? There are tons of things. The question is why would they get involved. And would their involvement mean giving the NR or Rebellion technology the SW side doesn't have. But even if it's just raw supplies, that's stil...

Re: Lead a pre-emptive strike against the Empire!

Secrecy is going to be made difficult by the ESP and precognitive powers of Sith lords. They likely wouldn't have details, but it's likely that even if the Federation could find a way to get to Coruscant's system with a trilithium device or some kind of planet killer that Palpatine and/or Vader wou...

Re: Celebrating 20 Years of DS9

DS9 really pushed the envelope for what a Star Trek show could do. There were multiple plot arcs, developed over several seasons, with a degree of intricacy that hadn't really been attempted before other than maybe a few of the Ron Moore written TNG stories. Character arcs had real growth to them, r...

Re: Hobbit (spoilers, with tags)

It is almost written like the gold and wealth have a drug like effect on dwarves, such as the One Ring was shown to be in the movies. Not surprising; the dwarves were given seven rings by Sauron (or they were given them by the Elves, I don't remember the lore 100%, but Sauron nevertheless had a han...

Re: Celebrating 20 Years of DS9

I still remember watching the premiere of 'Emissary' late at night, with a shit tv that had it's own aerial, with static fucking up the display. I would years later watch the show on VHS hired from a nearby Blockbuster, and marvel at how clear the image was. :lol: Good times.

Re: Caretaker

The time travel is good and inventive plot development that you don't see often in Trek: proactive use of time travel. It's almost always either accidental or unplanned, or forced on the heroes by the actions of the villains. You rarely see anyone in Star Trek go 'shit let's use a slingshot manoeuvr...

Re: How do I commit suicide?

In the off-chance you're actually genuinely honest-to-god in trouble and contemplating suicide, I'll give you the only piece of advice that is worth a damn: talk to someone.

It may not work, but you owe it to yourself to try.

I mean the guy is a fuck-up, and should be punished for what he did. Should he? Would he have done this under the same circumstances during his first tour?

Good question.

I'm assuming the defence lawyer has the right of it;...

I just find this case interesting, because when they seek harsh punishment it's a cynical attempt to look good by creating a scapegoat. But if they don't seek harsh punishment, it'd be evidence they weren't taking it seriously. What is the proper way for the Army to handle this case without being c...
