Birth of the Federation

... i like turn based. why? i can play it while chatting or doing other things i like botf micromanagement. you think that is micromanagement? try the much older game ascendancy Exactly. It's sad how the whole industry just stampeded like a herd of cattle away from TBS to RTS. What on earth is wron...

Movies suck for a lot of reasons. I don't think piracy is high on the list. More than ever, movies compete with each other with flashy visuals and CGI. That costs money. The only way to be sure they will get their money back is to make a "sure thing." That sure thing is usually sure crap. ...

Interesting graphic of the transwarp hubs from VOY ‘Endgame’. Seven mentioned in the episode that there were 6 hubs in the Galaxy…….only 4 are shown in this graphic (if the blue dots do represent hubs). What happened to the other 2?? The motion graphic starts where Voyager ...

I think the only character I like from TNG is Picard. The rest are pale imitations of what a Star Trek character should be. Data was a pale imitation? 8O He may have been another take on Spock, but also different and new in a lot of ways. As for "new fans", keep in mind that a lot of thes...

One might think that the free exchange of ideas of the Federation might generate tech to defeat the Borg, but there's 2 problems with that: 1.) The Borg can just assimilate it. :roll: 2.) According to the dialogue of Endgame, the episode where they appear, ablative hull armor and transphasic torpedo...

We haven't seen any Jem Hadar drones. Is it because: 1.) Writing - DS9 Jem Hadar and Voyager Borg were mutually exclusive in the writer's room? 2.) Borg and Dominion space is too far apart at the moment? 3.) Jem Hadar would be unsuitable drones due to the genetic addiction to Ketracel White? 4.) Bor...

Ferengi?? :lol: Feds would take over the galaxy IF AND ONLY IF they maintained long-term negotiations with all the other empires, eventually forming alliances with the larger ones, and staving off dire threats like the Borg and the Dominion for centuries. Realistically, the Borg should have taken ov...

Lots of people love this moive. Lots of people who hate this movie. For the people who hate this movie but Love The Next Generation and after, remember, the die hards of TOS, hated anything after it also, so basiacally you are just like them then. No. Stop equivocating. TNG built on Star Trek and t...

- Species 125 could have been the 125th (124th? Is Species 001 the original Borg species?) humanoid species the Borg encountered, but wouldn't have to be the 125/124th one they assimilated. Maybe they were a highly resistant species, who held out for many centuries. Maybe they were still holding out...

mickar: I'd say it's worth a matinee -- even if you hate it, you will have a lot to hate and therefore discuss. If you enjoy complaining, this movie could give you lots of fuel.

It's only "utter nonsense" because you choose to see it that way. You obviously know nothing about the Bible Yet I was raised as a Christian. I know far more about Christianity than you think. you believe the utter nonsense of Macro evolution simply because you were taught it was true, ev...

To play devil's advocate from another angle - science (as it exists) is far from exempt or holy. There is plenty of dogma and stubborn belief present in science. Accepted theories are published and funded, non-accepted theories meet with ridicule. It's a new take on an old theme. In a sense, popular...

eber3 - I may disagree with your fossil-record proselytizing, but your "Star Trek" review is right on. Jar Jar Abrams... HA. Love it. "Yousa thinkin, Star Trek gonna die???" :lol: stardust - decent and original story ... intelligence ... hmmm. Those aren't accepted in Hollywood a...

If you want to see life only through a filter, that's your business. But when you jump into a discussion spouting utter nonsense, you make it my business. "Some scientists had a fossil reconstruction wrong, therefore all fossil reconstructions are wrong" -- that's called fallacy. Any RELIG...

So... what were Neanderthals?
