    I want to see Klingons. No forehead ridges. I was perfectly fine accepting the difference between TOS era Klingons and modern Klingons as advances in makeup, design, budget, whatever. I could easily pretend that, if they had had the capability back then, Klingons would have had ridges. I was fine with the Enterprise Klingons for this very reason and would have been fine with ridged Klingons in the new film. However... since they decided to explain it in Enterprise, Klingons in the new movies had better not have forehead ridges. I would be very mad!

     

    No time travel, please, unless it's to correct everything that happened in the last movie.

     

    I'd rather not see Khan. The Borg are intriguing, but they've been a little overdone, I think.

     

    What about Q? That would be interesting... Q putting humanity on trial again or perhaps for the first time. There are many possibilites there. And who would they get to play Q?

     

    I just thought of something funny. What if they met up with the Romulans from their time and the first glimpse they get of one is a Romulan played by the same actor who played Spock's father in the Nuverse? Lol.

     

    Vulcan? No. They might as well have scorched Earth while they were at it!

     

    Very yes. I don't care if they even offer an explanation. It will never be good enough. They destroyed Vulcan. Vulcan! There is no excuse that I could accept. And they destroyed Romulus, too! What the heck?

     

    Nero could have lost a home COLONY, rather than the Homeworld, had they so wished to set it up so, and had him yet out for revenge.....and still had no less a vengence in him....

     

    That is a great idea. That could save Romulus for our original universe. And if they had Nero nearly destroy Vulcan, it could have saved Vulcan, too. The writers really screwed that one up.

    I still have an unopened box sitting on the shelf next to my Trek collectables. I kept forgetting it was there and it has been so long now that I don't want to try and eat it

     

    I have a Wheaties box with Texas A&M on it and I've had it for a few years. I really just should take the cereal bag out because that stuff can probably go bad. But now I'm afraid to look inside!

    "Baby baby doooon't... don't say you're leaving why don't you stay a little bit longer?" No idea what it's called or who sings it.

     

    Why is it that the radio overplays songs I don't like? Or do I not like them because they're overplayed? I'm pretty sure I'd hate this one regardless.

    If it is done, I hope it's totally apart from the newer series. When I started watching BSG, I really liked the miniseries and the first season. But it just got progressively worse. The ending wasn't too bad and actually was about what I was expecting the whole time. Except for that weird robot montage... I could have done without that.

     

    The older series is somewhere in my queue of television series to watch, but I'm currently running through Doctor Who (just finished the second season), so it's going to take a while.

    According to Ralph Nader - they're all Republicrats - and I'm not sure I see all that much difference.

     

    However, they can change primary voting procedures so that all votes get equal weight - Florida is a large state with a large electorate and in the prmaries it is a "winner take all" so that McCain got all the delegates by getting the highest percentage of votes. Had the electoral votes been apportioned as in some states another candidate would have led the electoral tally coming out of Florida and may have done better in subsequent and the November election may have different if someone other than McCain had run.

     

    So there is something that could be done - but no one ever brings attention to this.

     

    Republicrat... I kinda' like that. It does seem that the Democrats grow the government and the Republicans grow it at a slightly slower pace.

     

    The states are free to set their own policy, but it would be interesting if they all proportioned their votes in the primaries. It does seem a bit unfair that winner-take-all states—especially large ones like Florida—can have such influence in the selection process. I live in Texas and by the time the primary vote came to us, the winners were already pretty much decided... especially on the Republican side. So I guess another question is: how different would the nominations have been if all the states had their primaries on the same day? I'm sure that a lead in one of the candidates can inspire someone to vote for them or discourage a supporter of another candidate from taking the effort to vote. Honestly I'm not sure any Republican would have been able to defeat Obama; he was just that popular. But I do think that maybe someone else would have put up more of a fight!
