They're trying to save him because he's their son. I found the magic baby MacGuffin a good way to flip the stakes. Yeah, sure, they're saving the world. Heroes save the world in every Marvel Movie. That doesn't really impress or worry us. But, they flipped that to a very personal thing -...

Mod note: Except, of course, for the small matter of that being the actual topic of the thread. Thank you for publicly admitting to having no intention of engaging in the topic in good faith. It clarifies to us that your participation in this discussion has been anti-inclusive threadcrapping...

No, it is in a couple lines of dialog. We have no indication that reborn Data resumed his career in Starfleet.

Sacrificed herself to maintain the integrity of the timeline, actually. See the Next Gen episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" for more deails. You realize most Captains can't become admirals, right? You need one Captain per ship, but you don't need all that many admirals. Incorrect. We learn...

So, what they did with Discovery was in line with some other Roddenberry projects, that were intended as post-apocalyptic narratives. And that's cool. Unfortunately, in the process they actually increased the tech level - ships no longer have to be physically contiguous, there's personal...

So, one of the legal eagles on the boards may correct me, but, it mostly isn't about "taking notice". We (in the US, at least) do less to regulate monopoly itself than we do to regulate abuse of monopoly. For the most part, we watch for anti-competitive activities, so larger businesses are...

No she means it more literally than that. In the future in which that show takes place, a cataclysmic event destroyed most of the dilithium in the galaxy (and the ships using it) all at once. The Federation and Starfleet were all but destroyed, and Earth shut itself away from contact for a...

Mod Note: You see this? This is a problem. If you aren't going to add content and reasoning, please don't bother. This sets up the conflict between the people in the discussion, because there's no content to address.

Mod Note: Folks, Things are getting pretty heated here, and I'd like to remind all of you to be thoughtful in how you present your positions. And, if you need guidance on what I mean by that - if you get insulting, obviously. But also if you are entirely calm, but seem to be trolling...

Oh, no. They are almost certainly not talking about electromagnetic radiation. Because that at least is a legitimate source of energy - you just wouldn't bother taking over the Earth for it. For greatest bogosity, they must really mean data. And, since solar radiation is basically blackbody...

Mod note: Morrus just made a post about how this thread was NOT ABOUT THE LAW. So, please stop posting about the law.

Mod Note Cowardly? No, you aren't "bewildered". You're thread-banned for being uncivil.

I... ...you know that what you said is just as bad science as what's in the film, right? Right?!?!?

Dude... computer virus. Duh. It has Clark Gregg in it. We get saved by Agents of Shield?

They are only bad players if they, or the folks at their table, are not having fun because of what they are doing. Making the play unfun is really the only way to be a "bad player". I expect being highly judgmental of other people's play is far more likely to make a table unfun than playing...

I like the lampshade on how most shows with zombies insist on calling them anything but a zombie.

Many things are possible. But, when doing analysis, the first step is to review what you actually have, what is the precedent, not what is possible. There's bit of selection bias in accepting everything that vaguely says that he's a Q, but sweeping aside all contraindications. If they wanted...

With respect, "great pains" is hiring John DeLancie for the parent's voice. It isn't like Trelane and Q are the only nigh-omnipotent beings we've seen in Trek. No, I don't think the finger-snap thing counts, as I am pretty sure that habit was established in "Squire of Gothos".

Mod Note: If you aren't going to engage properly, please don't engage at all. Next time you're not going to read, maybe go somewhere else, and do something constructive, instead of threadcrapping, hm? Thanks.

You have to be kinda careful about how much unproven lying you attribute to a character. I mean, I could just as easily say that he got fed up, and created an illusion of a parent (and their Q-voice) to make a dramatic exit! But we have no specific reason to think that happened. We have no...
