Re: VOYAGER 2 : Lost Communication

Only in the prime timeline. Since we obviously DON'T live in the prime timeline (the lack of the eugenic wars is something of a giveaway)I wouldn't be too certain about that :P

Re: Strange New Worlds (spoilers)

I'll echo what Crazedwraith said-it's a good (nay, great) episode but a bad SNW one. It was basically a Lower Decks live-action episode with the SNW crowd as guest stars. Entertaining as it was (and it was, immensely so) I think especially with the 10 episode seasons SNW should concentrate on their...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

Im, german, okay? I might not be as immediately close to the action as you are, but I AM close enough to be aware that if this goes further south , it's going to seriously suck. What I'm trying to say is that unless we make Putin see it's going to suck for Russia a lot MORE than it does for Western ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

I'm not sure it that bad an idea. It might make Putin realize that he's up against all of NATO, and if he engages, Russia ENDS as national player.

Re: Strange New Worlds (spoilers)

If it's self-correcting why do the Feds need an organization tasked with 'investigating and REPAIRING damage to the timeline?' There's absolutely NOTHING in this episode supporting that nor the allegation that it is actually the Prime Timeline that is changed.

Re: Star Trek: Prodigy (New Series)

Um- the only connection between 'Prodigy' and VOY was the Lameway hologram. How exactly would that affect a (wanted by nobody) future VOY series?

Re: Titanic tourist submersible goes missing

While I think I'm vaguely familiar with the physical forces involved I'm pretty certain I don't really know what those forces will do to a human body beyond 'The remains aren't going to look much like an ordinary corpse'.

Who says the Borg CAN assimilate IoM tech? They've only ever assimilated technology similar or inferior to their own (their assimilation ability isn't limitless, see Species 8472).

More like 15 times and the Connie is significantly wider across the saucer section than a carrier is (with the carrier's widest being the flight deck, the actual hull is a lot narrower,especially towards the waterline).AND it's significantly taller.

Re: Strange New Worlds (spoilers)

Even if the Constitution class was small compared to TNG (leave alone Wars) ships, it was still HUGE. 430 or so people on something that big are going to be spread pretty thin.

There didn't seem to be all that much resentment against Picard when he came back from a similar experience (if on a smaller scale) from being Locutus of Borg. And so far, there hasn't been any time to SHOW whatever resentment may be there.
