LOL!

Refusing to tolerate intolerance is not intolerant. I hope you don't find that to be intolerable.

Gene was right. Money sucks. Now if I only had more of it….

Huge improvement.

I read a few of the novel waaaaaay back. I'm thinking they weren't the "relaunch" novels but I did enjoy them. I'll have give them a chance.

Hey, who loves multicultural exchange more than Jean-Luc Picard?

It completely goes against the philosophy Gene Roddenberry wanted the Federation to express but over time more military ideas were played around with. DS9 depicted a war that lasted for 2 seasons and Enterprise had a version of what you're suggesting. They were called MAC-OS: Military Assault Command Operations.

Holo petri dishes sound…. unappealing.

You wouldn't want to see Picard get the "Logan" treatment?

Well, Data's death but that could be acknowledged w/o too much detail. Just as long as they pretend B-4 never happened.

Sometimes, the ret-con is our friend.

#2 doesn't make sense to me at all. Prequels are filled with continuity landmines.

So we're just never going to see what the hell happened after the Voyager crew got home or how the Alpha Quadrant recovered from a devastating war that encompassed pretty much all of the major species in Trek?

I'm still waiting for the gritty Christopher Nolan reboot of Homeboys In Outer Space!

She's not talking about the puppy….

They couldn't just give us another Star Trek. No, they had to go and get all experimental and clever and shit.

Or Chick-Fil-A.

Dammit… Thank you.

In fairness, Roger Moore's Bond did a little surfing in A View to a Kill.

I don't know…. You Only Live Twice had a gritty realism to it compared to Die Another Day.
