I really wish that we had gotten the original Romulan/Human War, that's mentioned in TOS. Audio FTL communication only. Then again I really wish that we'd gotten the Four Years War, with the Klingons, as was laid out by FASA and was originally considered canon.

It was passed into law June of 2023 and Facebook, in particular, almost immediately blocked any news from being visible to Canadian accounts. I just had a friend in the US check it and they were able to post, see, and have Canadian news articles seen by other American users. So they aren't...

Except they didn't. They go on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis and each would need to hold them accountable, separately. Could someone in the UK or US please try posting a link to CBC news, on Facebook? If they've globally blocked access, instead of just from/to Canada, it should give an...

That might not be as big a hurdle as you think it is, and rightfully should be. Strange New Worlds has already managed to make the characters engaging by having a familiar setting and context, so they don't need to spend as much time introducing those. DS9 has a lot of the same going for it...

Historically if Meta is asked to actually pay for something that they use, they just don't. As in don't pay and don't use it, where their hand has been slapped. For example I can't read or post news content on Facebook, because of Canada's Online News Act. it was ruled that Meta must pay...

Bring in Tybee Diskin as Major Kira's daughter. There's a remarkable resemblance :)

The Akira Class was supposed to be an Andorian design, wasn't it? At least the ship that looked like the NX class was Andorian, in the FASA RPG.

Sorry to hear about that. It sucks when people screw with your stuff. It bothers me far less when I get to be the person who messes up my new things. Whoever did this to my car was particularly vindictive. Like I said, both doors down to metal. There was enough pressure put on the key, or...

I thought the seventh son of a seventh son thing was strictly a bit of Irish folklore, but Wikipedia turned up this fascinating little bit of lore. In Lancashire and particularly in Blackburn there was, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a tradition of calling seventh sons of seventh...

I've never liked the look of the Galaxy Class Enterprise. I'm a TOS guy but Refit is peak appearance, for me. The idea that a ship that travels in the vacuum of space needs to be aerodynamic strikes me as dumb, so the organic smoothing just doesn't work for me. they've got navigational...

If I remember correctly it was Omega who created the power necessary for the Time Lords to travel in time by collapsing a star into a black hole, then got sucked into it himself(?). I think that was Tom Baker doctor years, but, as you say, it's been several decades since I originally saw those...

No, definitely not. I even check my spot placement and get back in, if I'm too far to one side of the space. And that's when I park next to someone else, which is rare.

Great. Some idiot keyed both passenger doors of my 9 month old car right down to bare metal. I wish my neighbours had pointed it out to me a week ago, when they first noticed it, instead of a couple of minutes ago. Now there's no way I can go back through my dashcams or home security to find out...

I always swore that I would shave my head if I ever started going bald and ended up doing it in my mid-30s, before it actually kicked in. Wearing a hat is a necessity because it's either that, or using SPF110 every day. OK, I sometimes do both. I think that everyone has a hat style that will...

The only one that comes immediately to mind is "Bela Lugosi's Dead", by Bauhaus, which was used in the movie "The Hunger."

I never really sat down with the lyrics before and it doesn't hit that note nearly as hard as something like "Moon over Bourbon Street."
