Re: ONGEG Video: All Good Things

Far too little credit is given to the first courtroom scene. It was a marvellous bit of ham from DeLancie.

Re: OVEG Video: Innocence

Did I see a note that 'All Good Things...' is coming next week? I assume it's coming in many parts since it would be a crime to run through the entire episode in just a oner.

The line of Garak's at the end is so well delivered it sent shivers down my spine.

Re: The Case For Genocide Against Phlox And Archer

I imagine it ending as a decimated populace enacts a harsh vengeance on the Menk, annihilating them and forcing themselves to flee their world. Between their genetic treatments and the effects of surviving and rebuilding in an alien world, they become accustomed to wearing full body suits and weari...

Re: OVEG: Coda

When I first saw it, I thought that trailer line of Janeway's at the end was the coolest. I was twelve at the time. I try not to think about myself at that age. It sickens me.

Re: Nuclear Power versus Hydrogen Power

If he's referring to the town I think he's referring to, the renewable wank isn't actually part of the project. The project is the fuel cell side only. The hydrogen is probably derived from natural gas like most commercial hydrogen so they have in fact accomplished nothing. They have demonstrated a ...

Re: Atheists raising their children to be religious; I'm screwed

On a side note, I'm legitimately terrified of what will happen to my children. My parents, being very religious Muslims, do not know of my atheism. If they found out, I'm sure they would not hesitate to literally disown me. I'm not sure how/when I plan on telling them ( if ever ). They're not into ...

Re: OEEG Video: Fortunate Son

Did they mention what goods they were carrying even? And how do they get customers for their haulage services when their ships are so slow? You'd be better off sending the package with Royal Mail.

Dude, we didn't invent that "Borg drones land on planet, assimilate entire world" bullshit. We responded to it. It was Trekkie Borg fanboys who came up with it. In sofar as we can try to draw consistency from the canon, we can say that the drones picking up and running was consistent with...

I remember arguing with E fans way back about how the Borg not giving up their name rationalises nothing. Googling albino dominatrixes should reveal all.

Re: Revisiting the Starfleet officer:enlisted ratio

The modern military has three big categories because land warfare, air warfare, and ocean warfare are substantially different skill sets with substantially different equipment needs -- although there is obviously significant crossover. Similarly, ship-to-ship combat in space is a much different ski...

Re: Revisiting the Starfleet officer:enlisted ratio

Related to military structure, Starfleet is the single military organisation for the Federation, whereas today, militaries tend to come in threes: army, navy, air force (four if you include marines I think they're grouped under Navy). What does this show about Starfleet as compared with modern milit...

On the one hand I want to see it too but with the current reviewed episodes being more or less brain cell killing WMDs I don't want Sonnenburgs head to implode.

You're building up quite an inventory of video reviews. Can't wait until you do 'Dear Doctor'.
