Do you know what suspension of disbelief means?

Do you know what the letters V and I signify, asshat?

Obviously, you do not distinguish between suspension of disbelief and suspension of thought. No doubt this is facilitated by the fact that you wander this Earth permanently trapped in the latter state.

Oh No! don't make me cry with your sharp tounged quips.

look if you are going to watch it and enjoy it you HAVE to let go of "real world" limitations. otherwise what is the point of watching? to torture yourself?

You did read the website, right?

Or are you going to make the ever lovable complaint, they are using some other form of physics?

Don't whine just because you aren't smart enough to make any of your own.

There is no point watching when it goes beyond a certain point of stupidity. Why do you think I no longer watch Star Trek, you idiot?

PS. Make a point. So far, you're nothing but a troll, you've made no point whatsoever other than "get a life", and I have no patience for trolls.

That is the point man! I mean come on does it really bother you that much that Data said that and somewhere some idiot might think Data is real and belive it to be 100% true? and if so take it easy on them can't be but about 4 years old.

P.S. I might be a troll living under a bridge eating goats that pass by but I do pretty darn good for a bridge troll.

What, "get a life?" That's not a point; that's a jack-ass trying to sound cool.

No, it bothers me that Data said that and we know for a fact that the public school system has so utterly failed the people that there are adults walking about thinking that it makes sense. There are adults out there who claim that Star Trek technology is all realistic, and will all someday come true!

This is about more than fiction; it is about pseudoscience and the idiots who peddle it. The people who think Star Trek is realistic because of the cool terminology have the exact same mentality as the sort of idiots who think that the Earth was created 6000 years ago because the Bible said so and ICR.org uses a lot of cool terminology to pretend it makes sense.

P.S. I might be a troll living under a bridge eating goats that pass by but I do pretty darn good for a bridge troll.

Your self-assessment doesn't count for much. Tell me, what do you hope to accomplish by spreading these enlightened ideas of yours?

this is off topic but are you going to keep "Yoda-Clause" as your icon year round?

Then Riker and Maxwell (was that the admiral's name?) would have been torn apart upon boarding the ship.

Well the insides might have been protected for all we know, at any rate we could ignore the weird ass statements by Data to be dependant on an inert asteroid and instead an unknown piece of technology.

Except that you're putting an unknown into the equation. We can just assume that Data was being a dumbass. He's certainly not infallible.
