Can any one tell me why they bothered to write an article NOW? It's nearly been a year since the last Enterprise episode aired.

Did Mr. Hayes play Chef in Weds episode? I kept thinking his script had been piecemealed together from past episodes.

Darth Chef! :lol: What a crackup!

That's exactly what they did and they made it obvious from what I've heard.

Token, is the Token black kid, and is subject to all the stereotypes, if this were a real person, I'd see his treatment as racist, but on an animated show were African Americans are just another group to poke fun at, who cares.

I know who Token is, but he is more of a joke about always having a token black character. They literally bus him in from the rich part of town so that the school has some ethnic diversity.

I honestly don't think they mistreat Token at all, he is just sort of there in a lot of scenes. Cartman throws a rock at him in Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000 but after that he joins the sled team after Kenny dies and helps them free Cartman (who didn't actually commit a conscoius hate crime, he just threw a rock at someone who made fun of his weight).

There are some slight differences most evidently is that the Alpha version doesn't come to a complete point and the top line seems to go back a little further. Even so, it probably is a goof.

March 19, 2006

That was Connor Trinneer??!! I came in on the middle of some episode with a wraith named Michael, but was unable to watch to the end.

Well, the second appearance of Michael is another actor with Trinneer dubbing the voice. Trinneer couldn't be in that one because his wife was giving birth.

March 19, 2006

Oh for gods sake.

Who bloody cares. I'm sure heeps of people working on South Park have been offended on one this or the other that the show has pulled off over the years.

But seriously, this guys an idiot, They've picked on WAY more hurtfull things compared to "Scientology"

Like, they've done HEEPS of shows on bagging out African Americans!!!

Take the boy Token for example, some of the stuff they say about him are disgusting, but still the crew and audience shrugged it off.

Anyway, I guess my point is, The guy who played chef really needed to think about this longer

That is a very good point. But what are referring to about Token?

March 19, 2006

Looks good Jack, but uh....You misspelled Mrs.Picard's name

Indeed I did, it's been corrected.

Has anyone bothered to read the speech yet?

March 18, 2006

The commencement address President Nanietta Bacco gives to the class of 2380 in Articles of the Federation really sums up this debate, IMO:

(I'm omitting the non-dialogue from the speech)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

"Ex astris, scientia. Those words are on that flag over there. It's from an old human language called Latin. No one has spoken it conversationally for several hundred years, mind you, but we like to trot it out every once in a while to make ourselves sound more interesting. It means 'from that stars, knowledge.' Which makes it kind of a funny motto for a place that has you spending the bulk of your time right here on Earth.
The thing about the stars is that they do provide knowledge -- but that comes with a concomitant risk. Nothing underlies that risk more than the fact that you are the first Academy class in quite a while to have gone your entire tenure at the Academy when the Federation wasn't at war. And that, my friends, is something to be celebrated, because the classes before yours either came as first-years when we were at war, or were cadets when war was declared, or joined when they thought war was pretty damn likely. but you all are the first to come through without that particular Damoclean sword hanging over your collective heads.

There's an old human saying --not in Latin, you'll be happy to know--that says knowledge is power, and another one that says that power corrupts. Since its founding two hundred and nineteen years ago, the Federation has tried to bring a message of hope and of knowledge to the galaxy. The galaxy, unfortunately, hasn't always been impressed. We may not be at war anymore, but the possibility always, tragically, exists. The people who sat in those seats seven years ago were embroiled in a war six months later when the Dominion took Deep Space Nine.

But the purpose of Starfleet isn't to fight the Federation's wars. That is their task --and that might be your task--when it's required, but it's important for all of you to remember that it is a last resort, not a first one. Starfleet was formed when the Federation was, but it grew out of Earth's space exploration arm, and they had a Latin motto too: ad astra per aspera. It means 'to the stars for hope.' And every time we go to the stars, we're filled with hope --no matter how many times it would be better to be filled with dread. Their job then, and your job now, is to seek out new life and new civilizations. Some of those will be like the Klingons or the Romulans or the Cardassians or the Tzenkethi or the Tholians, none of whom were kindly disposed to us at first, and some of whom still aren't. Some of those will be like Bajor or Evora or Cairn of Delta Sigma IV, all of whom have joined the Federation in the last decade. Regardless of who you do meet out there, though, you will bring the peace of hope.

It sounds funny, doesn't it? You'll be flying around in ships that have sufficient weaponry ot lay waste to a planet --not really much of a peaceful message is it? When we've had to, we have fought, we have bled, and we have suffered, but it's because with this Federation, we've found something worth fighting for, worth bleeding for, worth suffering for, and yes, worth dying for. And we've also found that the hope we come to the stars for must be tempered with a willingness to defend what we have, because if we don't, there are plenty of people all over the galaxy who'd be more than happy to take it away from us.

Everyday I go down to the first floor of the Palais de la Concorde, and there are over a hundred and fifty people in there. Each one is from a wholly different world than the person in the next chair, and both are from different worlds wholly different from the person in chair behind them. Yet they come together, they argue together, they discuss together, and they work together to make this Federation better than it already is. It would be easy to fall into old patterns. Before the Federation formed, Vulcan fought against Andorian, Tellarite fought against Klingon, human fought against Xindi, Romulan fought against pretty much everybody. But now, worlds stand together instead of apart.

I've always had tremendous for Starfleet. My chief of staff and my security advisor are former officers. Some of our finest presidents are former Starfleet--Lorne McLaren, Thelian, T'Pragh. Still I never understood their importance until something that happened during the war.

When the war was getting particularly bad, Starfleet sent the U.S.S. Enterprise to talk to the Gorn , see f they could be convinced to ally with us against the Dominion. Turns out their timing was pretty spectacularly awful, since Starfleet arrived just in time for a coup d'etat on the Gorn homeworld. The new regime sent ships to Cestus III and actually occupied the planet for a while. In the end, though, we were saved, because the Enterprise was able to stop the violence and convince the Gorn not to count us as their enemy. They didn't do it by force, they didn't do it by blowing Gorn ships out of the sky, though noth things did occur of necessity. But even with a war on, even with the powerful arsenal the Enterprise had its disposal, their captain and crew were able to negotiate a settlement and bring the Gorn into the war. It was a show, not of force, but of ideas that lead to the Gorn signing a treaty with the Federation, which was signed in my office in Pike City.

Starfleet is the glue that holds the Federation together. The responsibilty you each have now is to maintain this little miracle that we've kept going here for over tow centuries through tumult and strife, through feast and famine, through war and peace. It will be difficult. All of you will face hard choices in the years ahead, if history's any guide -- and it usually is. But throughout it all, you must remember that it is the from the stars that you find knowledge, it is from the stars that you find hope, and it is from the stars that you will find peace.

I'd wish you luck, but I suspect you will not need it. Simply continue to do well. Thank you.

Boy, that took a long time to type. I honestly get a little teary when I read it. It comes from Keith R.A. DeCandido's Articles of the Federation, pg. 245-248.
