Re: Bumpy-headed Romulans
^ Doesn't that imply that the Romulans would have kids when they were young, say around 30-40 years old? With their longevity I'd think that their generations are much longer, say 100 years or so. They would be in no hurry to have kids at the first time when they grow up. Same for Vulcans actually....

Re: Eclipse & Breaking Dawn Talk
I tried to drag my brother to it (he's 17) and almost succeeded with a 10 cent bribe... but we saw The Last Airbender the next day together and The A-Team the day after because we'd been kicked out of the house... I would've loved to see my brother's reaction to the movie, but I guess we can't have ...

Re: The Happy News thread
Wow! Love the picture. My parents, well, there are no good ones of them - not together, at least. My school was in North Carolina... all-girls too. Loved it. But, as they say in M. Butterfly , "Well, there’s no guarantee of failure in life like happiness in high school." ... And, on that n...

Re: The Happy News thread
There's something to be said for religous schools. I went to a Moravian boarding school for high school - and am most certainly not a Moravian - but there was definately a higher moral standard expected... Maybe not solely applicable to the religious element, but definately a part of it.

Re: Bumpy-headed Romulans
I just find it really hard to think that such a prominent genetic difference as the forehead ridges could develop in such a short time, especially considering the longevity of Vulcans/Romulans. It is possible. All it takes is one mutation in one person. And if that proto-Romulan passes that gene on...

Re: Bumpy-headed Romulans
Now, this could have been a group more likely to have the recessive gene. And during the time of Surak, I would think with all of the fighting, Vulcans from different regions would not interbreed as easily as they would after the Time of Awakening. Several of these carriers would then pass it on to...

Re: Bumpy-headed Romulans
2000 years is nothing in genological time. Especially when the extended lifespan of Vulcans/Romulans are taken into account. If the average age of primigravida among Vulcans/Romulans is taken to be anywhere from 30 - 70 years (extrapulating from Spock's age at the time of pon farr in "The Amok ...

I dunno. I thought Germany played beautiful in the quarterfinals myself.

Re: The Whine thread.
My father has been home for less than 12 hours, returning for a brief visit from his contracting job, and already I'm going insane. There is nothing quite like being submitted to a lecture five min after you get up in the morning about how you've not been pulling your weight around the house when yo...

Re: Eclipse & Breaking Dawn Talk
I mean Riley's transformation may not've been bloody but it was certainly traumatic and violent... I dunno. I was watching the opening scene and it struck me as more... amusing than tramatic. If I hadn't read the book, it would have been a big "WTF is happening, and why on earth is he so scare...

Re: For fans of Pocket's Enterprise Relaunch/Rom War books...
I never intended to sound sneering, just... What is the major market of any effort to correct the henious horrors of *the_abomination*? TnT shippers. Ergo, any novel in said relaunch should include said ship, to some degree. From a marketing standpoint, to do anything other would be suicide.

Re: Eclipse & Breaking Dawn Talk
I am, unabashadely, a Blackwater shipper myself, regardless of insanity of Breaking Dawn . I'm sorry, but no matter how fast you grow, there is something creepy about your mother making out with the guy who imprinted on you a month or so before you were born. And Meyer's eplaination of Jacob and Bel...

Re: For fans of Pocket's Enterprise Relaunch/Rom War books...
And I'll bet you a dollar that T'Pol husband of the historical record will be Trip's Vulcan cover identity. True, though, based off the end of Last Full Measure , we know Trip has a human appearance again around the time the NCC-1701 is being built... So either he manages to outlive T'Pol or.... I ...
