So they finally have the time traveling meg from the first book in the movie. Neat. The cherry on the Nonsense Sundae.

“You folks need to grow up.”

Pick up any theology journal or book. Show me their data on the claims made (or yours). The observations. The measurements. The tools used. The testable hypothesis based on solid theories. The graphs. Then we’ll talk.

Not necessarily. Uploading your mind would only create a copy, just like Colonel Smurf is only a copy of the original who died in battle.

They probably could, but they don’t care. And it would affect their bottom line negatively. Anybody who thinks that these companies are in it for the betterment of society is a fool. But you can get people on board easily with promises of “better connectivity”. After all, who doesn’t want their porn and…

You are welcome, CaptainObvious7. I thought I’d tell you again, since you are the 7th in your line, and so far down the line, people tend to be a bit slow.

They are adapted to a specific environment with certain environmental conditions (weather, climate, plants, animals, predator - prey interactions, etc.). Introducing foreign species upsets the balance of the system, with indigenous species unable to adapt fast enough (like increasing their reproductive…

Wish I had your restraint. Every time one of these movies comes out I either hope they’ve learned something from the mess the made the last time - aka “This time it will be good!” (see the latest Jurassic World as an example) or I’m curious how bad it’s going to be.

Welcome to the internet.

Yes. Yes, you are. Especially you. Just admit it.

And yet, like everybody who makes comments like these, you are going to watch them all, if only to be able to say “told you so” on the internet.

The movie is far better than Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (which doesn’t say much). For the first time they actually tap into the real problem of being able to recreate dinosaurs. I’ve always thought that making such a fuss about a couple of dinos escaping into the wild was the dumbest thing imaginable.…

Let’s suppose what you say is true, and Q’s test is for Picard to trust his most feared enemy, the Borg. If so, then the Queen’s way of asking for peace (1st episode) has got to be the dumbest way imaginable to do that. She proposes peace, but instead of explaining herself, seemingly tries to hijack the…

“Naturally, the theories we now have might be considered wrong in the simplistic sense of my English Lit correspondent, but in a much truer and subtler sense, they need only be considered incomplete.”

It’s not wrong. Just incomplete.

They should, but have somewhat softened their stance in the last couple of years. I suppose it’s because if you sell your bloodlust as a “traditional, cultural activity” you get a pass, even though it’s outdated and unnecessary in the 21st century.

If you enjoyed this, maybe you’ll like that as well? It’s also form their cold, chilled hearts. Somehow, the Tourist board never advertises this. I wonder why...

So did I. And their analysis of season 1 was, unfortunately, spot on, even though it’s coming from dyed-in-the-wool fans, and generally their opinions need to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

That’s what the guys at redlettermedia thought as well, but they hate the new Trek (they are not wrong...). And given how bad season 1 of Picard was, something like that might just happen.

Also, her main character trait in the show is being a lonely misfit looking for something or someone to belong to. What better way to do that than being the head of the collective? She’s already shown to be able to exert some control over the Borg by stealing memories from the queen. Would be a natural progression to…
