Re: Court Martial

Court martials all around! T'Pol deserves one for the trellium abuse and the deaths she was directly responsible for at Azati Prime; both she and Trip deserve one for romancing one another in violation of the no-frat regs; Trip deserves one for the Cogenitor mess when he disregarded a direct order f...

Re: Rigil's New Endeavour thread...

Act 4 is on the Pit of Voles. Its been on the website for a little while. I intend on uploading Act 5 to the website later today - the software I use to maintain my site is on my laptop, which is at home.

Many thanks for the positive vibes...

Re: Why is TV SF so bad? (And a modest proposal to fix it)

It's a matter of opinion, I guess. I've seen some people here gushing over Terra Nova and I checked out of that show after episode 4 because I really didn't like it (which is weird 'cause dinosaurs? Awesome.) Justified hits my buttons because, unlike most networks shows, actions have consequences in...

Re: Why is TV SF so bad? (And a modest proposal to fix it)

Coming in pretty late to this (what else is new, right?) but I'd argue that it isn't just sci-fi that is so disappointing. You can apply every single one of the issues Transwarp originally identified to pretty much every show on. Fraked continuity? Check. Horrifyingly bad science? Check. Immature pl...

Re: Rigil's New Endeavour thread...

Doing a bit of necromancy here to resurrect this thread - not sure if all of you are aware or not, but I'm participating in Nanowrimo this year and am working on both Endeavour: Amaterasu and Endeavour: Xolotl for this. Thus far, I have been amazingly productive, and if you wish to see the results o...

Re: "Missing scenes from Season Four" discussion

That doesn't track with what was shown on television. T'Pol was the XO. Period. It doesn't matter whether people agree or disagree with this or think Trip was shafted. She was the first officer. Period. Grumbling about that or pointing out why that doesn't make sense is irrelevant. A little asserti...

Re: Men are dogs...How much of a dog is Trip Tucker?

Okay, I wasn’t going to do this anymore, but after lurking in this thread I just have to jump in. I don’t see Trip as quite that pathologically passive as Rigil does. That's okay. I forgive you. :lol: we see him in “First Flight” flirting pretty hard with Ruby I'd place that 10 years earlier, befor...

Re: Men are dogs...How much of a dog is Trip Tucker?

WG, excuse me. when was it ever indicated in the series that Trip went in for casual Sex? Fistick obviously was not his fault. Doubt if he could have driven her off with a phase pistol. He can say NO! He can shove her off. He can not have sex with her. HE WANTED TO HAVE SEX! He went to Risa and he ...

Re: Where did those pesky fraternization rules come from?

Trying to apply logic and consistency to anything Star Trek is always a failing proposition. As to whether SF was a military or not, well, they might claim they aren't, but by pretty much all modern measures, they fit the bill. Officially mandated government organization? Check. Regimented rank stru...

Re: T'Pol and Mind Melds

Interestingly enough, our opinions are pretty divergent here... Burn Notice is fantastic Used to be. Not as good as it once was, IMO. I tuned out of it about a season and a half ago. so was The West Wing Didn't begin to agree with the leftist politics of the show so I wasn't interested in watching i...

Re: How Would You Write Characters Who Don't Get Along With

Its a matter of terminology, I think. When I say "technobabble," I generally mean the made up words that they so regularly threw out to solve the latest problem in TNG & VOY that actually mean nothing ("quick, let's reverse the polarity of the quantum flux regulator, which will le...
