Re: Q Makes A Pizza With Special Guests

I checked out John DeLancie's site. I didn't know he had so many acting credits under his belt and was so well traveled, not to mention his other accomplishments outside of acting. I'm kind of surprised that he didn't have a website of his own sooner, even 10 years ago it seemed like everybody in Ho...

Re: Time Lord Victorious story arc

But there are other issues at hand, and the Time Fracture as seen in the Time Lord Victorious experience planned for London next year seems to be changing continuity rather drastically. Because The Time War, the battle between the Time Lords and the Daleks that formed the backbone for the returning...

Re: Star Trek: Discovery, Season 3 (Spoilers)

Season 2 was an improvement over season 1 in alot of ways, I hope you make it through to season 3.

For me, the highlight of Season 2 was Pike, Spock and Number One. They were so awesome in fact, that the next Trek series is a spinoff featuring all three. I can't wait.

Re: He Who Fights Monsters (Star Trek)

For me, the Wesley scene was a bit off-putting. I think the closest thing we ever saw in canon was Picard being tortured at the hands of Gul Madred, and even then it was more psychological than physical brutality. Maybe I could have dealt with his face being mutilated instead of [stuff]. The warning...

Re: A question about warp nacelles.

Found the Ferengi at warp. This is how the Ferengi react when Worf cooks up a "surprise" in the form of a Federation starship for the Ferengi in TNG "Peak Performance." There was no Q-Flash, the next shot cuts to Picard when they're gone.

Re: A question about warp nacelles.

The problem here is that I don't think we've ever seen many alien vessels go to warp speed in Berman Era Trek; most of the time they're slowly plodding along at impulse speeds if they're even moving. I tend to think that it's the first one you mentioned, from inside the nacelles. I do recall one ins...
