Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion
Nobody has any idea who is really behind it. (Ignoring the fact that a billion different anti-American organizations would claim credit.) How do you respond? Who do you attack in retaliation? Why, you attack everybody . Naturally. :D But, seriously, in the real version I'd love to have seen a senat...

Re: Randomness
A lot of "less evolved" animals have only one opening in their digestive tract. You don't get two until you start getting to the worms and such. But, techinally, an octopus's mouth and anus are pretty much in the same place... But when you go to kick it in the ass, you also get the side be...

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion
Jon has no proof that these Xindi - whom no one in this continuity has heard of, including the Vulcans - are behind this. It would be like a NASA guy insisting that we attack Jupiter or Saturn following the attacks on 9-11 because a time traveler told him so. I'm not saying that Starfleet should've...

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion
But honestly, that's pretty much true of all governmental agencies in television. They're all pretty much portrayed as a majority of incompetent boobs. They have to be portrayed as incompetent. It creates dramatic tension. Well, to be fair, based on what I saw in canon, Starfleet and EarthGov were ...

Knowing our luck, the octupus is a result of said project, since abandoned. Because, after all, with prophetic octopi, how could we fail?

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion
Not sure what one's "conservative politics" has to do with that. *shrug* If anything, I would think "commissar" would the opposite of a conservative extreme. Went to dictionary.com just in case I'd confused it with something else, but it's definition is: com·mis·sar /ˈkɒməˌsɑr...

Re: Vulcan Modesty
Frankly, I think the idea of Pon Farr stinks. Probably was thought up by some writers who wanted to make Vulcans nearly Human so they could hve Spock as a half Human/Half Vuclan but make the Vulcans different enough to make them seem Alein. Hence Pon Farr. Poorly thought out idea. Never rally carri...

Re: Vulcan Modesty
Perhaps they are more comfortable with nudity when the situation warrants it, but consider few situations to require it.... With all the writer's confusing what we know about pon farr, it might just be easier to make a list of everything that's been said of it, cross out the ideas that contradict ea...

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion
So, since Trip is not a member of the VHC, etc., you think he might get prize money for his part in returning s missing ship? :lol: Vulcans, I am sure, have moved passed such "base" and "uncivilized" things as currancy. Knowing the High Command, they'll only say something on how...

Re: Vulcan Modesty
And I believe that in a logic driven society, non partners intercourse would be more common, even if not spoken out. What would happen to a Vulcan who enters pon farr while in a mission too far from her/his partner? There is a risk (nor certainty) of death based on the blood fever description. So, ...

Re: Vulcan Modesty
The way Vulcans are depicted they are one screwed up bunch. Only having Sex once every seven years but won't talk about it. Every species, in all likelihood, has its own nerosies regarding sex. Humans have sex all the time, so we talk/write/fantasize/etc about it it constantly. Vulcans have it cons...

Re: Vulcan Modesty
I rather agree. T'Pol was assigned to the embassy on earth before Enterprise and a large part of diplomacy is respecting other cultures. Most likely the idea for Vulcans with any other speices is "don't make them uncomfortable," which, in one way or another, nudity tends to do. Or it could...
