    I have new passions all the time it's hard to narrow them down, lets just say my passions are diverse and sudject to sudden change


  2. The clip was fun to watch, cheesy and unbelievable, and very well made for amateurs. I was very impressed with that. The worst thing is, very little of what they proposed was origional. Kirk getting resurrected and meeting back with Spock was from Shatner's book "The Return" which was the 2nd in the "Odyssey" Trilogy. They just told the story as him in the Nexus, whereas in the book the romulans take his body, with Spock standing over the grave. Still fun to watch, but usually i tend to look for the little things :blink:

    Shatner has said that he would play Kirk again- he even wrote a scenario where Kirk returns. I think the idea now is to have him play Kirks grandfather next season. I don't care if it is cheesy, this maybe the last time we see him in an episode of Star Trek.


  3. I think what we saw in the finale was WWII and not an alternate history where the Nazis won. The airplanes that attacked the shuttlepod were definitley from the 40's and the field hospital Archer was at didn't have any advanced technology.

     

    I'm pretty sure the Temporal Cold War, the Suliban, and Future Guy are involved.


  4. Here's a blank banner PSD file for those of you using PhotoShop. This will help you with because the background and the Logo are in 2 layers. THis is the template I'd like for everyone to use

    Where should I send the banner once it's done? And what format should it be in - a PSD or JPEG, GIF? Can it be animated?


  5. Blalocks inability to act

     

    Jolene's a fine actress, she's done a really good job in what must be a tough role. Remember that it is writers and network execs who determine what T'Pols actions are going to be. I do think the past couple series have put a lot of emphasis on physical appearance, rather than scientific talent. But this extends to Voyager, as well as, Enterprise.


  6. I am the last of a long line of Teachers who have kept Surak's original teachings down through Vulcan's history. This post isn't in the Vulcan Embassy because our message isn't restricted to Vulcans. We have sent many ambassadors to Earth in the past. (SEE: Castaneda, Carlos)

     

    We are an esoteric branch of Surak's teachings. If you have any questions about metaphysics, in the Star Trek universe, or the "real world", ask me and I will do my best to answer you.

     

    NOTE: Sybok was a member of our organization for a brief time, his extreme beliefs caused him to be expelled. We of the SRILA formally renounce Sybok and all of his beliefs.


  7. To understand T'Pol's attitude in the first couple seasons I think it's important to keep in mind that ENT takes place before the Federation. Vulcan in the 22nd century is a fairly isolated planet. As far as we know, Earth is the only other planet that they have strong diplomatic ties with. Also, the Vulcans are far more technologically advanced, and view Earth as a relatively primitive race.

     

    By Spocks era, Vulcans and Humans had co-existed for over a century together. They were part of a vast alliance of worlds, and had gotten used to each other for the most part.

     

    I think the writers on ENT did a great job showing the culture clash between Humans and Vulcans- it made the show more realistic and dramatic.


  8. I'm interested in why I get sent to the STF purgatory, everytime I click on one of your links. For some reason everytime I click on your posts I'm transferred to STF's password recovery section. It's bizarre.


  9. Wow! those sets are incredible. How are you guys financing this movie?

     

    Your website is great, I love the photo gallery. It looks like you and George Takei had quite a bit of that red wine.


  10. This one goes to 11!

     

    A perfect episode- the right combination of dialog and special effects, action and interaction.

     

    Click for Spoiler:

    I hope reptilians are good at building bridges- because they just burned their last one. The insectiods are going to be really, really pissed.

  11. Really cool site, but I was disappointed that there was no link to a Vulcan religion site. The teachings of Surak would really help the world situation right now.

     

    I highly recommend The Religions of Star Trek if you're interested this stuff. If your friends are looking for someone to perform a traditional Vulcan wedding ceremony or a Klingon Rite of Passage check out ULC.org- you can become a minister of any religion you'd like (fictious or not).
