Aspiring utopia, borderline dystopia. It seemed rather controlling in many ways, and the heavy reliance/obsession with the one leader guy was a problem. But overall, yes, it was pretty 'soft'. It's not a place I'd have WANTED to live necessarily... but if the alternative was worse? It's not the wor...

My initial reaction from looking at this photo is no, but having a second look, I think the only thing I find horrendous is the yellow. Otherwise, red was a pretty damn good color with that uniform style. Could've gone avocado green for command. That is what the actual colour was. But it doesn't lo...

The general impression I got from TNG/DS9 was there was a war, and the Federation won ...only to give up all the territory the war was over to the Cardassians. I always got the impression that The Federation go if not exactly curb-stomped, at least had to make concessions in order to avoid a protra...

and d) that the Shenzhou (named after a Chinese city) had an asian captain. And before anyone calls me racist regarding d, my issue wasn't that the captain was asian, it was that they gave her a ship with a specifically asian name. I suspect they've given her a Greek name now to avoid that whole, &...

Enterprise bugged me with not acknowledging contributions to explorations of other countries.
No Sputnik. No Kudryavka? No Yuri Gagarin or Valentina Tereshkova?

Was it ever explained in the series or the books why the Federation activly assisted the Cardassians agianst what were nominally their own people against a known agressor society? Why didn't they hold their hands placatingly and go, "Hey, we'd sure love to help you but it's kinda your problem n...

Frankly, I don't care what race the cast is, as long as they are good actors and play the part well. What stuck out to me about the trailer is that a) it didn't feature the hero ship, b) it featured a pretty stereotypical alien, (the one who said "I'm bred for this" or something similar),...

Mind you "Mmm lesbian just for me" is no worse than yaoi/slashfic (?) "Oooh Draco and Harry...oh yes!! Oh yes! Captain Jack Sparrow and ARagorn! Oh Kirrrk Oooh Spoooooccckkkkkk OOh OOhhHHo Oohooohhhh!!" squishsquishsquish

Even ER waited (IIRC) until around 2000 to push a lesbian relationship. And this was a show that didn't mind showing a black man with a white woman (that whole thing was weird. Hate mail over a relationship ending. And I recall, La Salle was the one who wanted it ended. Not judging, Just saying). I...

They could wear selectively-bred mammals that are made into living-clothing. Imagine an exothermic LIZARD MAN wearing a coat of... living, warm ferrets domesticated so that they will calmly allow themselves to be placed in strategic pouches of some fur coat to provide warmth to the lizard-wearer! A...

Did Buffy had any actually gay couples who weren't lesbians though? It's like repealing the DADT and how they ultimately went with the two female sailors because that's more "palatable" to even the most ardent bible-thumper because "Mmmm da lesbinumz..." fappityfapfap I mean sure...

Make the final battle on "The Forest Moon", just as epic as the space battle. Maybe I've been spoiled a bit by Rogue One, but something like that. Seeing the Ewoks being vicious little man-eating bastards...seeing their 'Viet Cong/Na'vi' style ambushes from the Stormies POV. "WHY THE ...

I would LOVE to see SHARLTO COPLEY either being an inept squawking dude being chased by a xenomorph or even a Queen, or some deranged Soooth Effricken mercenary with a samurai sword hacking shit to pieces while inexplicable cherry blossoms drift around inside an alien hive. see boyz its got acid bl...

Maybe Neil Bloekampfs iteration will do good.

just spam the eggwhisk and cackle heartily to itself.. That line alone brought a gleeful sadistic gleam and a mirthful chuckle. Daleks unlike the cyberpillocks atleast feel emotions. Which is part of what makes'em so fucking scary. They're just like us, only with a death-wielding outer shell. They'...

I'd love to see something like IMPS: The Relentless brought to the big screen.

Why wouldn't the Daleks wipe out the marines as well? Also "gold and plunder"? They're a military fighting force, not pirates so why in the hell they're going to have "gold and plunder" is just stupid. Daleks wouldn't allow the marines to retreat, at least not after killing all b...

I can.... kind of get behind the "too slow" comment. Aliens is easily one of my top 10 movies of all time. I love it. I've seen it.... man, I can't even count. But it is special for another reason: it's the only movie I've ever watched where nothing happens for the first 45 minutes. Don't...

I heard one idea, that on Vulcan, they had a normie-Uebermensch war like the humans did, only there was a severe nuclear exchange that screwed the planet up, Fallout-style (hence all the weird critters, like the Le-matya). So the 'normal' Vulcans got the hell out of dodge, and found their own world....

It really isn't all that heavy handed. I could see them loosen up some, but most of these rules are likely there for what they feel is necessary to defend their property. Stuff like the 'no trek actor' thing was likely lawyer-insisted to avoid confusion. Maybe even the length bit might've been lega...

The Star Trek Enterprise first season had an episode, "Fusion", that involved a group of Vulcans that were NOT typical who were essentially exiled for breaking social customs and tradition. Spock's half-brother Sybok was a rebellious Vulcan. Really, we've had hints and glimpses of all sor...

The whole Axenar thing has turned into one giant clusterfuck.

And the only real winners out of it all are gonna be the lawyers.

But that’s pretty much par for the course in lawsuits.

Comes across to me, as CBS/Paramount doing the whole “Hey don’t complain to me Village-Elder! The rebels made us do this! They attacked our patrol, and your village is one of many in the AO. So we have to deny them resources. So what we’re gonna do is burn down your crops and kill your livestock. No...

Think of Vulcans as space-preppies. Kids *must* go to the right sort of schools, and they must engage in the *right* sort of activities. All about appearances and Keeping Up With The Jonses. Keep in mind, the protagonist Vulcans we see do the whole 'arranged marriage' thing, which tends to be an upp...

My theory is simply, that the Vulcans we do see, predominantly. The ones who are ‘permitted’ to go into space and onto their Enclaves on allied worlds, are all upper-crust-old-money-old-family types and their retainers and hangers-on. The impression one gets at the most iconic Vulcan, is Spock’s fat...
