I think you're too hard on Spock in Galileo 7. All we need to do is look at the decisions that lead to the most recent war in the Persian Gulf. A whole room full of otherwise intelligent people seriously thought we would be treated as liberators. That people in Iraq would act "rationally" and that this as an…

One of the things people complain about in Man Trap is that Kirk is inconsistent about killing a creature here and then in Devil in the Dark. But I see these as very different situations. In Devil the Horta proves it is acting in self defense. In Trap the Salt creature is clearly a psychopath. It's intelligent. It…

Yeah, Danson only wore the hair piece on TV. Never at award shows or in public.

Even Ted Danson?

Or Sookie and Bill.

I thought he and Keylar were a good match. They had a similar alienation from "pure" Klingons but dealt with it differently. Say what you want about early TNG, their ability to create and play complex characters off each other was great.

No, don't bother. There are things to like - Most humans are McCoy style racists and Vulcans are dicks. But the writing is awful. Worse than Voyager. The characters are all stiff and dull. Plus it's not even allowed to be a prequel because of all the Temporal Cold war BS. And the famed Many Coto season? Not much…

I pondered alt-universes with a friend once. I couldn't stand the idea that there would be a happier me out there somewhere. He replied "You know, in a lot of those universes you'd be dead.

I get that Alexander brings the two of them closer, but romance? It's just such a bad idea.

I don't buy that interpretation of the universe and time. First of all it's pretty anthropocentric - which the universe is not. Second, I don't really believe in free will. You are who you are because of the way you react to a situation. There's no other way a scenario could play out because if you didn't do what you…

I don't know if this should be called the "Data is trying to kill us" season or the "Retcon" season. We've got so much back story being filled in as quickly as possible for so many characters and even events.

Julianna doesn't have conscious knowledge of her character, feelings, motives, or desires. Those were embedded in her by someone to match those of another person. She thinks she is that person. She is not aware of what she is. She's a very sophisticated version of a character in a video game.

Rich, don't bother. You can't argue with someone who has "facts". It's like trying to convince a 911 conspiracist, or a Moon Hoaxer, or a Young Earther. They all have facts. Sure, they're misrepresented, misunderstood, and or just fabrications, but they make it seem like there's some thought process behind the theory.…

Ah ha! Ah ha! Ah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Olivia Munn is funny?

What's the difference between Moriarty and an other holodeck simulations? He knew what he was, how he got there, and that he could be more than what he currently was. He was self aware. Not everything with a brain knows its place in the universe or that it is what it is separate and different from other things.

And there's also DNA in red blood cells.

That sounds nice. I wonder if there's a way to pile money from multiple people into something on Amazon.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Covered in the blood of a Turk she doesn't remember killing.
