I think what he means is if the federation sent ships to help gowron fight the house of duras during the Klingon civil war, then the romulans would have sent ships to help duras. This would have ended with a split in the empire between gowron and duras. An interesting hypothesis, but has nothing to ...

The term 'hogwash' comes to mind. Plenty of 'free loving society' forces have fought to the death...if and when there was something to be achieved by doing so. You 'warrior cultures' will fight to the death no matter what even when it makes no difference whatsoever. free loving liberal societies be...

In warrior cultures, or nations currently fighting for liberty- fighting to the death is a morale booster, whereas in our free loving society its the opposite. Your average klingon is like "holy shit, am i gonna die for reals? :P LETS GO!!!!" It is a rather intimidating prospect to be figh...

DO illuminate me. I would really like to know where always fighting to the death (you know the TNG Klingon way) has historically had advantages, because the first thing that comes to mind is WW2 Japan, where it essentially led to a lot of japanese and americans dieing in a war the japanese had no h...

@Danny That'd be the part where you have yet to show a reason why they would. So far, all you've shown is a lot of baseless assumptions. Like them always fighting to the death actually being an advantage (when that can heavily backfire on them), you blithely assuming the Klingon Empire is considera...

Plus, why is it so hard to believe Klingons could win in a war against the federation? I would think it would be painfully obviously why. Over analyzing and Over thinking things can be as sad as Jason B's logic.

I do believe Starfleet is a military service, however have all of you noticed in many episodes in the star trek universe, they like to apply the word 'Federation' when humanitarian/diplomatic missions, and the word 'starfleet' when confrontation is imminent? " I am Captain Jean Luc Picard of th...

Yep. As to the greater topic at hand, I love the countless rationalizations and excuses Starfleet fanboys make. Why is it so hard to accept the simplest explanation -- the Klingons were militarily superior? Consider: *Even the smallest Klingon ships can put up a fight. Kruge's BoP probably didn't o...

May JJ Abrams burn in hell.

And where does AR-558 show that Starfleet has an actual ground forces branch? All I remember is the standard poor sods in Starfleet PJs, no evidence of them actually being specially trained ground troops (mind you, it's been eons since I saw that episode). Everyone wearing the combat uniform are es...

But apparently with you if I don't think it could win in a hypothetical fight, I dislike it? Just reading your posts and your douchebag signature makes me think you're the bastard lovechild of an Internet shut-in and one of those assholes from Jersey Shore. LOL @ the last comment. Based on the epis...

Indeed, as you'd have to admit you can't do it. I already did through visual and dialogue from a friggin stormtrooper LOL! You prove to me they arent dead? Soldiers dont leave their compatriots on the ground [even dead] like that. If what you say is true, then the stromtroopers are utter pieces of ...

I would go into great detail pointing out your fallacies, but there is no point. You ignore the complete obvious in an attempt to portray star wars as "superior". All the quotes i mentioned are canon [EU, which even SW lovers must admit is BS like ST novels]. Pics of troopers dying or just...

Oh really. You no doubt have examples handy that disprove that. Because all I remember from the OT is blaster bolt hits stormie, sparkles and smoke, stormie drops. But since you obviously know a lot more about blaster operation/blaster bolt/armour interaction than I do DO feel free to elaborate. Th...

if those were shield generators, you'd think they'd be covered by their own shields sufficiently that it wouldn't take only fighter weapons to break through. And frankly, Starfleet ships would be blown to pieces before they could even get around to pummeling through the shields. An Executor-class v...

Stormtroopers drop after 1 hit. So do modern day troops wearing body armour. Stupid pieces of shit. For all we know, every stormtrooper dropped by blaster fire in the OT survived. Oh, and not only do we know from the EU that they can turn a direct blaster hit into something survivable, they serve a...

So how exactly is Starfleet going to reproduce the massive fleet bombardment that brought down Executors shields which was what made the A-wing's suicide run possible to begin with? (not that those being shield generators is all that well established to begin with, the EU can't seem to make up its ...

Keep in mind that episode the rigged com badge shield lasted for 15 seconds, and it was able to deflect 19th century ballistics. Im pretty sure an energy based weapon with more power woulda rendered worf's shields useless. Plus personal shields i would imagine would be bulky pieces. Also [painfully ...

A runabout more powerful than an ISD? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL even as a trekkie i cry bullshit to that. Maybe if the runabout did a kamikaze run on the ISD bridge after it blew off its shield generators [which are clearly visibile as having testicles ontop of the brai----bridge]. Hey if an A-wing fighter ...

Also, I thought the Cardassian metagenic weaponry thing was a ruse to capture Picard. Did any other episode show them possessing such weapons? It was a ruse, however the weapon itself was created in the past, but was outlawed by most species, including surprisingly the romulans. Since it was outlaw...

or better yet- a Cardassian metagenic weapon that kills all DNA on the planet, thereby making conquest of the planet easier. Why waste resources on time travel and accidently destroy more than that species your trying to kill by making a small mistake [VOY: Year of Hell] if you could just launch a l...

I dont see WHY people associate sex symbol status with being a good choice. Need i remind these people Halley Berry's take on catwoman was so stupid it made me cringe in my seat. The movie was so stupid i stopped beating off to Halley. Anne Hathaway [which has always been regarded as an attractive, ...

Misconceptions of history. Originally, Richard was not liked by his own people. He ruled the Angevin kingdom, and as part of the Plantagenet- ruled in a french fashion. He was called "the absent king" The fucking guy didnt even speak English, since he only spoke in French. According to his...

I think any general on the losing side in the modern era would be tried for war crimes.
