Yeah, which would be an interesting little twist. The only people that know about that are Sisko, Garak and some elements of Starfleet Command. A reveal later that more aid was not given for fear that information would eventually leak (especially with Garak now leading the Tal Shiar) would make...

Given the Romulans joined the war against the Dominion including showing up at a key moment once or twice plus the events of Nemesis you'd think they'd have some credit to burn on a little humanitarian aid.

I was 100% in until the first fade to black and we're in the basement. It's not uncommon for action films to take a breather but I was really just waiting for the story to get back moving again. It's still super good though. For me there's always something melancholy surrounding stories of the...

I like to sometimes intentionally torture some metaphors because of a comic strip penguin I used to read a quarter century ago.

You can't swing pipe like that and then back down. We can talk about whether or not he should have made that tweet (let's go with perhaps not) but once you've thrown the baby out with the bathwater there's no reason to try and pull it back out of the drain with a coat hanger. That goose is cooked.

Jobs for Jerles

Fighting for market share with The Man in The High Castle for some reason? Read the synopsis on Wikipedia for the book and I'm not entirely sure the point. If you're going to do an alternate history than go hard with it.

I still like the DS9 episode "Valiant" where the Hitler Youth thinks they're main characters and all die due to their own egos. Jake's in that one! There's also the episode where Jake is revealed to be a coward, almost gets Bashir killed, dooms the patients that needed the generator he and...

DS9 managed to take Dumar and fucking Nog and do something with them. Nog! He's even got a couple good episodes! Nog!

If you're prepping than your pets are part of the equation. Drowning your cat in a bucket of water on day zero is going to be bad for household morale so maybe have some extra dry on hand is all I'm saying.

That reminds me! The 1964 adaptation of I Am Legend (titled The Last Man on Earth) starring Vincent Price is in the public domain! A super flu rampages across the planet killing almost everyone. Those it doesn't kill are mutated in to some kind of zombie/vampire monster that only comes out at...

I wouldn't feed the dog I have right now but the upkeep is no reason to abandon a tool as useful as a dog can be.

Yesterday I was having a protein shake and instead of pouring milk in to the cup I poured it in to the container of powder. I took out the little scoop, filled it with milk and dumped it right in to the full container. Then I stood there looking at what I had done. I had been thinking about...

Trying to go it alone is suicide. If someone is legitimately planning to be well supplied and wait out a major calamity while everyone around them starves than they're going to end up dead right quick. Not only do you have to sleep sometimes but gangs are going to form quickly and looting will...

I know one guy who is prepped for the apocalypse. He's got the decade worth of food plus water supplies plus a serious stack of firewood along with other bits. He lives in a nice subdivision in a nice home sporting a lot that might be a quarter of an acre. His neighbors are going to feast on his...

I've heard that part of the reason she got canned was the crazy was already setting in on the show and I'm open to that possibility. I'd still have ejected Nelix.

Doggo just learned his owner is a NERD

Unfortunately his videos are all temporarily down but one of the reviewers I've been watching for years now is SFDebris at SF Debris - Science Fiction Reviews and More He had an idea for Harry that was so good it hurt me to hear. We know that even though they keep Kim on the show that for the...

I've seen a lot of disagreement over which episodes people have liked from the half season but most people only seem to like one or two. Combined with only getting half the episodes, the increasing time between each season to get new episodes out and shit like Rick acting as Harmon's mouthpiece...

That post is a response to your post here which was part of the larger discussion at that moment.

Reminder they were going to kill off Harry Kim until Wong was voted one of People Magazine's Most Beautiful People. Their next choice to create room for Jeri Ryan was firing Kess even though the audience fucking HATED Nelix. At least George Lucas, upon facing fan backlash about Jar-Jar, scaled...

I think the little girl episode is the one where everyone sits in the ready room musing on whether or not they should stop a planet from exploding and you just want to punch everyone. "Well what if it was an evil dictator instead?" IT'S NOT AN EVIL DICTATOR IT'S A PLANET WITH A DILITHIUM...

The episode where Data is communicating with a little girl on a doomed planet Picard tells Data to cut the communication and is 100% prepared to just nope right the fuck out and let that whole world explode right up until the voice starts asking for help.

The Prime Directive primarily exists to keep us out of meddling with pre-warp civilizations. When someone actually breaks the warp barrier (or is about to) the Federation gets the ball rolling on diplomatic involvement as those people are about to enter a much bigger universe than they knew...

He may not have liked it and sought a diplomatic solution but he was going to do what he was told. Hell, we know with hindsight that solution was no solution at all. The Cardassians don't follow the treaty for shit, arm their colonists and the Federation's help boils down to pointing out that...

The Baku were on a Federation planet and there was an agreement made with the Sona, their cousins, regarding resources. This treaty had Federation approval. The Baku were not native to that planet. The Indians were on a Federation planet and there was an agreement made with the Cardassians to...

Movie Picard backs the Baku because he wants to get in the pants of a milf space elf despite everything involving the resettlement being nice and legal. It's not really even the planet that is at issue either. It's the ring around the planet and the medical benefits it provides. Television show...

In the episode where Data creates Lal Picard does tell an admiral to eat dirt when the dude pulls rank trying to separate them. Even then he's not exactly defying the chain of command as he plans to immediately return to Star Fleet Command to get shit sorted out. No you're not separating a...

The only time Picard really went off the reservation was in Insurrection when he was under the influence of a milf space elf. Taking off the combadge for effect was not his thing.

The novella Who Goes There is really good if someone is looking for a bit more of The Thing. Unfortunately The Thing From Outer Space isn't very good and neither is the soft reboot prequel thing from a few years ago. So you've got one good written story and one good movie. There's at least two...

But with TNG

Wait a couple months, change your name to Smith and move. edit - probably have to delete all social media everything immediately

Fox News still exists in the 24th century.

Back in the day when you got your cash grab it was shit like Return to Mayberry, Return to Gilligan's Island, etc. You got everyone back, you went over some of the same beats, no new ground was broken but in the end everyone got what they were looking for. That's all I wanted with this. I just...

It's alright, everyone thinks that one is a gigantic piece of shit.

Ten light years isn't a ton better. It's still ten years.

So there's an episode of DS9 where a changeling posting as Bashir has rigged a runabout with a proto-matter bomb and enhanced shields. The Federation and Klingons have all gathered around DS9 for what everyone believes is the coming Cardassian/Dominion fleet but the real plan is to use that bomb...
