    'A time safe?' Turlough demanded. 'Wait, let me guess. In an ordinary safe you put valuables away for later use. . . so, in a time safe, you put things away later for prior use. Right?' 'Correct. It's a permitted temporal paradox, but it must be used sparingly. Whatever's in there has to be important.' - Turlough and the 5th Doctor are about to open a time safe (Doctor Who: Imperial Moon written by Christopher Bulis)

    I guess the laws of physics work differently in the TOS movie era.....

    'In the spaces between space itself, in the timeless region outside time, a blue box spins through the void. Both creature and machine, yet strangely neither, this blue box is a TARDIS, a travelling machine skimming across the surface of space-time, occaisonally dipping below the surface to spend a while in the murky depths of reality, where days pass in order and the laws of science stay constant. This TARDIS disguises itself as a police box, an old communications device from a planet called Earth, a thing of wood and blue paint with a flashing light on top. Inside, the TARDIS - which, what with the rules of physics having no bearing outside conventional space-time, is bigger inside than out - adopts a different guise, that of a technological marvel, gleaming white futurism decorated in a refined Victorian manner.' -Doctor Who: Hope written by Mark Clapham

    ...Or the Q-Continuum Embassy, but possibly Q Embassy or Q-Embassy for short. Something added for Federation Embassies for the Q should be there.

    There is an infinite number of parallel universes, forming the totality that is the Multiverse. I also believe in an infinite number of time-lines, all forming and weaving the web of Total Casuality. There is others, I have theories on... But I shall not speak of them at this time.

    "And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" —pg 32 of "1984" written by George Orwell

     

    "It seems you have acquired about you a field that affects the links between multiple worlds to slip into yours...or you to slip into theirs..." --Back Cover of "Parallelities" written by Alan Dean Foster

     

    'The thing about meddling with time is that one moment something is real, the next, it's been erased. Probability becomes just a possibility. Established truth becomes a theoretical falsehood. Like dominoes, as one timeline falls, the others come cascading down around it. You can engineer new timelines, new possibilities but before long, the distinction between what is, what was, what might be and what never can be becomes blurred.

    Out of this grow myths, lies and legends. The Doctor was one such legend, but no one knows whether he truly ever existed. Well, not now they don't. The Mighty One, ruling the multiverses from the eternal city of Chronopolis has made sure of that.'--Back Cover of the audio drama, "Doctor Who: Unbound: He Jests at Scars"

    My favorite movie of all time is "1984". I thought it was also the movie that best depicted totalitarianism.

    "The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed—would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper—the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." —pg 19

     

    "Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death." —pg 27

    My favorite war movie (and of all time) is "1984". In "1984", the world is stuck in war for so long, that is has been integrated into society. War has become an integral part of society now, and freedoms are removed, in order to increase productivity in the totality of the work force. The Newspeak dictionaries include new meanings "WAR IS PEACE, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY". And several other things are established in order to insure any hints of rebellion will never occur. I think this movie best depicts totalitarianism.

    "People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annhilated: vaporized was the usual word." —pg 20 of "1984" written by George Orwell

    I think the three movies that shouldn't be remade are:

    • 1984
    • Forbidden Planet
    • Logan's Run
    • Sleeper

    Commander John J. Adams: About a million years from now the human race will crawl up to where the Krell once stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again, like a beacon in the galaxy. [...] it will remind us that we're after all not God.

    In order to gain more power and control, can the Borg or the Borg Queen negotiate with Q or the Q-Continuum?

    "These are the players, with or without a scorecard: in one corner, a machine; in the other, one Wallace V. Whipple, a man. And the game? It happens to be the historical battle between flesh and steel, between brain of man and the product of man's brain. We don't make book on this one, and predict no winner, but we can tell you that for this particular contest there is standing room only- in the Twilight Zone."

    Well, I can't seem to think of what I would pick as the worst Star Trek episode...

    My favorite SF TV series of all time would be:

    Doctor Who

     

    But I enjoy several other SF shows and all the Star Trek, and all it's spin-offs.

    Is the Temporal Cold War heading the future towards a different path? Has the journeys back to the past damaging our timeline in ways unknown to us? These things, and many more can disrupt casuality in unseen ways, but may be fixed... Or not... As we moved forward through time, the Star Trek timeline moves further into a parallel universe (IE the launch of the Nomad and the S.S. Botany Bay DY-100, the Eugenics War, or the possible coming of World War III). But then again all these may have happened, and the laws of time are in a perpetual state of change. Post your views....

    ‘History is being remade constantly. You can’t see it from your point of view. You drift

    through the fourth dimension, unable to change direction or even see where you’re going.

    But other beings are different. They see the whole of the tapestry that is Time. They pull

    at a thread here, create a new detail there, and they don’t care what their interference does

    to the rest of the fabric. Why should they? Do you care when you shoo away a butterfly,

    with all the consequences that might entail? Something - perhaps somebody - does care,

    at least enough to darn the holes. The changes are not lost but they are subsumed, worked

    into the grand design. The overall picture is preserved by the sacrifice of a billion

    unimportant details. Your life could be reworked from start to finish and you wouldn’t

    even notice.’ (Doctor Who: The Space Age written by Steve Lyons)

    Of course he knew that in one sense Time was a  fiction - an attempt by man to measure duration with reference to the sun and stars. But he also knew that although such measurements were based on an impressive formula, all man's concepts were fraught with error. Time was not as it was supposed to be, for here they were, he and his single crew-member, Dodo, travelling fortuitously across space, splitting Time into fragments - or more exactly, ignoring the passage of time, the rising and setting of the sun, the ebb and flow of tides, the coming and going of the galaxy in which they voyaged. - Doctor Who No. 136: The War Machines written by Ian Stuart Black

    Well, my hero is Doctor Who, the traverser of eternity.

    My favorite movies are:

    'Ah. Yes. But that presents us with a paradox. To undo the events of the past, you must have first experienced the past you wish to undo and therefore you cannot have undone it.' -The 8th Doctor, playing chess with Fitz and winning (Doctor Who: Anachrophobia written by Jonathan Morris)
