Well, in that case there's nothing left to do but adopt the persona of a 116-year-old serial killer and put together a 80-minute series of Youtube videos that exhaustively critiques DNF on the basis of its story, art direction, gameplay, level design, gender politics, places it within the context of the evolution of…

I assume it does subspacey-warpy stuff with the other two nacelles to give the ship greater endurance rather than a speed boost, as well as being a callback to Franz Joseph's TOS-era Federation class dreadnought.

I never thought I'd say this sincerely, but I'll miss you, Rick Berman. You may be a fool, and you certainly made your fair share of blunders, but reading your interviews really helped to humanize the man behind the hate. And the lunacy of your recollections always managed to brighten my Thursdays.

Nice to see you'll be joining us for DS9, Mr. Russell!

On the downside, they would probably do terrifying things to your digestive tract. Having nutrients leached out of your body would probably the best-case scenario.

It was, actually!

VanDerSchwanz is my favorite TV Club writer.

I don't know Mellotrons, but I'm reasonably sure those instructions are telling you that your converter is actually a thermonuclear device.  I recommend laying some newspapers on the floor.

Psst! Hey, Braga! Yeah, I know you read these threads! Come over here.

Excellent points, The Beast Rabin and I Will Probably Forget This Quickly. I think it's going to be interesting in the next year or so, once we start to get into the Dominion episodes of DS9, to compare the way the Dominion was developed with the way the Borg was handled. To me at least, it seems as if Behr and Wolfe…

I love all the snowman gags, but I think some of the funniest ones are the ones where Calvin starts talking about himself as an artist. It's probably because of those art history courses I took back in university, but it's always nice to see some of the self-importance of art criticism deflated by a six-year-old…

I find that scene becomes infinitely better if you imagine that Harry Kim is under her desk being used as a footstool.

You're a better man/woman than I. I stuck it out through Voyager and just gave up around the second season of Enterprise.

I always just assumed it was actually a Romulan ship that was experimenting with a new design style. (Not the first time this has happened in Trek: just compare the Enterprise-D with something like the Akira or Steamrunner classes). I always kinda thought it was a reaction to the experience of the Dominion War, with…

Same here, minus the booze. Kinda wished I registered before, though; this is a nice place.

Oooh yeah. There was a recent tie-in novel entitled "Watching the Clock" about the Dept. of Temporal Investigations that that makes a fair try of grappling with that issue (and why the Borg never tried any time travel crap before FC), as well as trying to make that whole "temporal cold war" make a lick of sense.
