- Comment on Doctor Who and Star Trek showrunners discussed possible crossover 9 hours ago:
Or make two episodes where they are in the same setting, but are doing two different things. They can cross paths, but they shouldn’t interact.
Or maybe not. Star Trek lore is messy enough.
- Comment on Justinian was a Belisarius Merchant and a tyrant 4 days ago:
The reason why kings often led armies at the time wasn’t because they were better at it, but because they couldn’t afford to let another person have an army and be seen as a good ruler.
- Comment on Stunning recreation, Ol' Boney would be awed 1 week ago:
They really cleaned up Paris, though.
- Comment on “He Was A F—ing Editor”: Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner And Ron Perlman Skewer ‘Star Trek: Nemesis’ Director 2 weeks ago:
It is what Patrick Stewart wanted, which goes to show that sometimes the actor isn’t always right.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and they also seem believable as a rogue clandestine agency that the Federation is ok with having on “their side”.
Unlike the Obsidian Order or the Tal Shiar, the Federation has plausible deniability regarding the use of Section 31. Few powers seem to even know the agency exists.
And unlike the Obsidian Order or the Tal Shiar, Section 31 does a good job at being a clandestine agency. The Obsidian Order and Tal Shiar’s response to the Founders was to build a lot of ships to bomb a homeworld, something outside their expertise that gets them destroyed. Section 31, instead, genetically engineers a virus that attacks the Founders, a virus so effective that the cure is used as a bargaining chip in getting the Dominion to stop the war.
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 year ago:
Not characters, but places.
Earth is extremely competitive to gain any notoriety, which is really bad for a lot of people as notoriety and talent have become what is valuable in human society. People leave Earth because, while it is comfortable to live there, it is really hard to move up the social ladder. It is a lot easier to move away to get a better position, hence why humanity still colonizes other planets while Earth is paradise.
The Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarire civilizations were going into decline when the Federation was formed. This is why Humanity became the dominant species of the Federation; the other species effectively gave up trying to be powers.
