Captn Krunch, you rock.

Another vote for Trip. I'll be honest now, I haven't really seen a huge amount of Enterprise, I only caught the first season and a half but Trip was definitely my favourite up to that point. If he started murdering puppies after that I might have to revise my statement.

No dead puppies, except for the Porthos roast.

Kidding, I promise.

TOS obviously got my vote. As for the comedy? I voted Ellen.

Hahaha that was really funny. Thanks for posting it, and it's good to see you posting again!

I voted great. It was an excellent film...many of the reasons I thought it was great are reasons others hated it. Data's death bring tears to my eyes every time. Everything about it except for the backwards letters in the title at the beginning were fantastic.

As I've stated before, all Abrams had to do was set the "future" part of the movie to just after Trek 6 and there would be no canon problem. There is no reason that this story just HAS to take place after Generations.

 

As for Shatner, it appears that he talked himself right out of the movie with his demands. He has only himself to blame.

Well the reason would be that Spock will look old as dirt now, and if we had HIM looking that old while Kirk looked just as old as him...it would either mean that Spock was very short-lived to be half-Vulcan, or that Kirk was very old for a human.

And even then, we know how old Kirk looked in ST6 and how old he was in GEN, and for him to look 15 years older for a period of time that was supposed to happen in between the two movies would be equally bizarre (and for Spock to have aged that much after the 6th movie when we know what he looks like as late as that TNG episode arc.)

They never bother to fix anything. After one year at an awful dorm, I'm now again living at home. The dorm is, of course, trying very hard to get rent payments out of me for this year as well...even when I had several conversations, some verbal and some through e-mail, with them starting in early April about my decision to not return for the next academic year....I've even transferred schools from Austin back to Dallas 4 hours away and they still insist I'm living there!

If you're in the holodeck with the safeties off, can you be assimilated by Borg holograms?

 

I would say no because they're just simulations and don't have the nanoprobes and other things that would be needed for actual assimilation. You could be hurt or killed, but not assimilated.

Unless the computer was producing a simulation accurate down to the microscopic level...in which case the nanoprobes might actually be able to act like real nanoprobes...and if the computer weren't programmed to know that nanoprobes could be very harmful and unwanted from a human perspective, it might actually see the process as beneficial upgrades for the human! Except there's that problem of when you leave the holodeck becoming totally stripped of the mechanisms that you're body may or may not now rely on......

Given my place of residence, there's a certain degree of likelihood that I will see him out and about. I'll give him my congratulations for his awesome-ness.

I've said it before numerous times, and I'll say it again...

 

A Trekkie is a fan of Star Trek. A Trekker is a fan of taking really long walks.

I think I remember you saying that before...long ago.

I'd been wondering for a while now what had transpired there...I'm glad to see it updated and the ads for sweepstakes that ended over a year ago finally gone.

I've heard many takes on this, the most prominent of which is that Trekkies are a bit more lighthearted about the series than Trekkers. Trekkers, in this scenario, are the die-hard, know-every-fact-of-the-show, snobbish Trek Fans.

Personally I prefer the name Trekkie, since the name actually sounds more fun and less stuffy than Trekker, but at the same time I HAVE seen every episode and every movie many times and know every class of every ship from every species and so on...so I think it's more of a personal preference than anything.

It's not loading for me today. Oh well...

Number 6 all the way. I've had quite a bit of trouble in that area lately, and in the end I basically followed this rule. Things are working much better now (and my father's none-the-wiser .)

Very good video...and now i'm even more depressed.

I got 92% at 9 miles average error. Some of them at the beginning (like when it tells you to place a severely landlocked state perfectly on an empty map) were the ones that had the biggest error.

You've really slowed down lately, huh?

And I suppose he could have slowed down to 50 mph because his speedometer said he was going too fast...

Wow! They can go that fast?!

Wow, just a shirt and a skirt...and anatomically correct...

Oh very cool! I wonder how everything turned out. I'm sure the corridors have a LOT more detail than they did in TOS, and they've probably updated the retro TOS styling on the gadgets...I can't wait!!!

Very nice! I'm working on one like that, too!
