I honestly don’t feel like the Prime Directive applies in this case - the species is on a planet that has another warp capable species and they themselves seem to know about space travel and such. Same as how I don’t think it applied to the folks on New Eden either to be honest…

Rankin Bass meets The Legend of Zelda?  Sold!

I’m one of those people that have a hard time watching embarrassing things, so while it was hard to watch that segment, the pure joy I would have felt being in the same position had me grinning ear to ear.

The cover in the above story says “4k Ultra HD + Bluray” so I’m going to say yes.

TLJ has a bunch of stupid plot holes and general strange scripting issues (the entire idea of the chase scene… was dumb, to say the least); but none of this is Tran’s fault (she was perfectly fine in the movie).

Anyone know of a good, large screenshot of the beeper with her logo on it? I would like it. :)

I actually quite like the TV Show. Also, totally named after the character from the movie since like 1997 (yes, I know the movie char is with an ‘o’). >_>

Tourist revenue?

My girlfriend are closing in on the end of what we call the ‘12 days of Tolkien’ - we watch all six extended edition movies (hobbit/lotr), half a movie a night. They book end nicely that way, and it’s really great to do it that way (plus I love the riff on the ‘12 days of Christmas’). Highly suggest it, though…

Agreed on all counts. I hate condoms, but the added benefit is I can last an absurd amount of time if I have to use one (hour+). I’m pretty sure I had at least one partner who preferred them for only that reason, because I can’t think of a reason anyone would want one if pregancy/disease is not an issue and would…

It took me a while to realize that, made a world of difference afterwards.

That was my favorite bit too!

I have no clue where I would even find gas for this car. That’s impressive.

The TNG season finale ‘Best of Both Worlds’ was written with part 2 not being conceived. You can read a bit about it on the memory-alpha page for part 2…

Haven’t used it since like 2000; still remember my # (53139748).

He always wrote my favorite ‘Trek novels.

Exactly… our technology _today_ looks better than TOS does. People need to get over it.

They don’t - please don’t try them.

This is actually the default.

Add me to the list of commenters annoyed at io9's Discovery hate. :|
