They started the new trilogy by ripping off a Star Trek movie. They ended it by ripping off a Star Wars game.

Wong's fanfic? Or something else?

Yes, the fanfic.

Did anyone else watch this movie and think Conquest?

I wonder if the guys who made that episode read Starcrossed.

Heh it was Dune vibes for me

A mentat named "Ripper"? Or do you mean those spacer union navigator guys?

And ones inhaling some mysterious organic space powder.

So, as in TNG, they still (sorry, already) don't have a protocol for scuttling abandoned vessels.

And the drive needs an organic pilot.... the Andromeda vibe keeps growing.

I realize this is hardly a matter where one can judge from a moral point of view, but I thought I'll share it.

According to the United Nations, the most evil country in the world today is Israel. On March 24, 2016, the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) wrapped up its annual meeting in New York by condemning only one country for violating women’s rights anywhere on the planet – Israel, for violati...

Well, the beta is here. Seems tolerable.

The latest twist with Hank was certainly nice. And people really seem to like the scene.

Is that supposed to be Luke's hand? Because if he allowed it to get like that, matters look bad.

Data can store a hundred petabytes. Impressive for the Eighties, but already doesn't quite sound 24th Century - we can fit that on a bookshelf (gonna be a bit expensive though).

I don't know if this has been brought up before but... I saw this Star Trek map: http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/3267/startrekstarchart.jpg Now, not certain how canon it is, but it seems to be canon based . Scaling from the distances to known stars, I get that the Federation is maybe 300 light ye...

Did anyone else see that black guy in Stormtrooper armor pop up and thought "Spaceballs"?

The headscratcher for me is, what prevents Gaza (and the similar Israeli pullout in the West Bank that really ought to happen , but hasn't) from being a Palestinian state? I mean, in theory if you say to people 'govern this land' and walk away, they should be able to create a state there unless som...

Well, did the Palestinians care about these settlements before Bibi said we might be dismantling them? Why should they now? As for "pounding you when you get pissed", I don't remember Israel bombarding Gaza in response to a street demonstration. Maybe you are talking about Israel respondi...

How is that in any way a proportional response? It's a proportional response because Hamas was launching artillery attacks on Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv. The fact that Israel has become very good at stopping people murdering innocent Israeli civilians while Hamas goes out of their way to ge...

"We want to settle your land and pound you when you get pissed" isn't reasonable or acceptable, asshole. How, exactly, is that relevant to what I said? I'm also quoting your previous reply just to show everyone how much of a dumbass you are. You clearly talked about reasonable terms, I re...

[quote="Dr. Trainwreck"Omeganian was stupid enough to read "flattening half of Gaza every two years" and decide it implied nothing about human costs. Don't drag yourself there.[/quote] Then what did it imply? I asked whether the Palestinian casualties are an existential threat. W...

Well, it also lasts quite well on the borders with Egypt and Jordan, despite the past wars. Because with these countries, Israel managed to formulate reasonable terms which both sides can find acceptable in the long term. Hamas doesn't even try. They either talk about Israel destroyed, or demand te...

Well, the "economic disruption" isn't that moderate overall.

The Troubles isn't really analogous unless there is a significant majority of the population of Gaza clamoring to be a part of Isreal. The most analogous situation here is really the US and theft of native peoples territory until all they have left are a few reservations. Jews paid better prices fo...

So far. This 'so far' of yours has lasted almost sixty years, and is a damn sight better than what's happening in Gaza. Well, it also lasts quite well on the borders with Egypt and Jordan, despite the past wars. Because with these countries, Israel managed to formulate reasonable terms which both s...

Let's see... <snip> So, Hamas might agree that should Israel give up the territories captured in 1967 and recognize the Palestinian state, it might receive a temporary truce. Which, of course, raises a simple question. Two words: "And then?" Hamas, at the end, will have its stated goals, ...
