I mean, ultimately, hasn't a goal of technological advancement always been to make things easier for us humans? The problem is mostly that our system still relies on everyone having a "job" to get a "living wage". If we didn't need that because the machines produce enough of the basic stuff we...

Or should it be Star Wars: Danger Zone? And here we are, still waiting for a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game. Or maybe at least an X-Wing TV Series? If you forgot why it could be worth waiting for:

I enjoyed Rogue One, but maybe for the same reason you enjoyed Han Solo - it wasn't imitating Star Wars either - it's basically a war movie.

No, I did not - and since you can't pick a year, I didn't expect it to pick the right year - but I did expect it to hit the right month!

Except? Late August 2009? That's not my birthday. Odd.

I think once Picard had a witness like Jurati on his side, a Synth, and a dead Maddox, it would put Commodore Oh under too much scrutiny. If it's not Commodore Oh and security people under her direct supervision investigate the attacks on Dajh, they might find stuff that is suspcisious. And if...

True. The standard gear of Star Trek officers is sometimes fantastic, but kinda uneven. Tricorders that can scan everything at any range the plot desires, phasers that can stun, kill, disintegrate and turn stones into heaters... But no personal force shields or anything. But the Jem'Hadar have...

At least Worf had Deep Space Nine going for him, there he got to show off his combat skills. (Less so other Klingons - the DS9 command staff and Cardassians like Dukat and Garak were clearly superior to the average Klingon in melee combat. Cardassian Officer and Federation Officer are clearly OP...

Seriously, DS9 was the only show that did make any longer lasting story arcs. But even DS9 was much more episodic, a big part of the story of the episode was still self-contained - it's the Dominion War, yes, but this is the one particular episode where they have to recover the Dominion ship...

If you want to see how much of a Star Trek spaceship you can get done within a single hour, here is one example: I believe the estimation was something like 4 weeks of work in Star Trek Online to get a ship model ready. Though that includes everything, even the ship mechanics. YOu don't need...

The real reason should be obvious - many TNG era ships don't even have 3D models, and even if they have, they were made in the 90s and early 2000s and are not up to the current CGI standards (quite possibly with proprietary or obsolete technology). They can't be reused. If they want to use them...

The strange thing is they all look kinda identical, but they actually aren't. look at the second picture and compare two closest ships and compare their nacelles: The first (closest) seems to have some kind of red bussard collector on top in a small strip, and a relatively short blue stripe...

That is not what you are supposed to do with a fitness studio. Or any building.

That is kinda one of the problems inherent with making the synth vs organics war, too. There isn't really a guarantee that organics hate their synths. I mean, some of us really love their cars, why couldn't the same happen if we could make synths that would have the intellectual or emotional...

I think it's simply a matter of finding a needle in a haystack - by accident. There are really a lot of stars just within the galaxy. Figuring out what kind of properties they all have, how they relate to each other... Maybe Federation star charts actually contain this system - but no one...

So, now the "secret" is out about the true nature of the Doctor. I know a lot of people hate it aggressively so, is that the reason there were no new posts in a while? ;) I have some mixed feelings. I kinda liked the idea that the Doctor was a special Timelord because of the choices (s)he made...

Considering that they couldn't really communicate before to that level, can we say Spock had the Horta's consent to perform a mind meld? And we can probably all agree that Valeris was not consenting when Spock conducted a mind meld to get information about the anti-Klingon Alliance conspiracy...

I am not sure. The interesting aspect is that Soji wasn't investigating some advanced Borg tech or anything. She was looking into the Romulans that got assimilated. So maybe the Artifact is really just the backdrop, basically, something that uniquely affects the characters and is very particular...

Really liked this episode. This is the first time that Picard set foot on a Borg Cube since the Best of Both Worlds, and they gave it the weight it deserved. I also really liked Rios here, and maybe we got more insight into him then before, the way he deals with Raffi and Agnes. (He's empathic...

Well, I based my system on 4E, and so I have hit points. The only time you are actually definitely hit in the fiction of my system is when you're bloodied or reduced to 0 hit points. So as long as trained Jedi has a lot of hit points, he isn't really being hit. (I specifically have a wounds...
