Can I please apologise to JJ for slamming (what seemed to be) the incredibly blasphemous idea of rebooting and prequel type things (look at Enterprise, people!) and then giving us... this. This blessing. This OMGFRIGGINAWESOME. All is forgiven. Now I just need to remember that watching TNG is going to be even more like watching Pertwee Doctor Who after living with Tennant. I still love it, but I have to remember it remains very, very different.

The Destruction of Vulcan was a jolt. I'm interested in seeing how it effects the timeline.
I hope the next movies are about more than Human/ Klingon/ Romulan confict though. This one was a great set-up. Now it's time to introduce some sci-fi ideas.

I wont spoil it but approaching season 4 I thought they would end it on Earth. Maybe discover a nuclear- devastated planet & that the crew had been Cylons all along.
That's more or less what happened (The Nuked Home Planet thing). Mid Season. The ultimate twist was something I wasnt Expecting at all and was a nice humanitarian note to end a series about Battle and War. Even if none of it would be probable without an Origin Story similar to the TNG Episode: The Chase.
Theres a few things i dont understand like The Way a certain character has a Neo in the Matrix like scene when she symbolically turns into a Pigeon in someones dream or how those Brain-Implanted holographic cylons operate for thousands of years independetnly of any host or how whatshername dissapeared into thin air.
Can any fans of this series help me out?
Theres also an upcoming DVD- movie about the entire series from the Cylons point of view which should be interesting.

but wouldn't a pigeon represent freedom, and pestalince.
Or if it was a dove it would be hope. And pestalince.
I can't see your whole message with my script blocker installed. All I know is that the 4th season lacked some customary grace in terms of setting up, but probably redeemed itself at the end. Was SB an angel. I prefer to think that she didn't exist throughout the whole thing, but of course was always there.
But if you wan't some consciousness-reality exparation give Dollhouse a go. Almost seems to take the extra step that season 4 might've gone.
And now fella, I'm going to look up some imax tickets for STAR TREK!

My Redundant previous post & a new one on Global Warming.
by Erik
Looks like Plannie said the same thing months ago. Still no word on weather Shatner's returning. \New Trailer has the Enterprise in Spacedock. Looks like marketing knows what they're doing.
And something about global warming... As we know there was a Global Cooling Scare in the 70s. And now there's some doubt as to weather Global warming will ultimately heat or Cool the Earth. Whatever happens to the climate will prove tat there's a man-made climate crisis that we have to deal with. But We won't deal with it by shifting from an Oil economy or pursuing Green Technologies which would be a good idea even if there werent a "Climate Crisis". We will fix it by Lowering Living Standards of the "Pampered western workers with their Luxuriant lifestyles" who will beg to be returned to serfdom "For their childrens future".

I fully expect this new film to catalyse trek fans' nascent classic trek sensibilities - those pure-form stories that are aways first in our heartss. So.. what stories would you like to see realised>>>>?????) what sorts of planets would you like our heros to visit!! what sort of aliens!!!do you want to see?
This is so exciting.

I'm with crotchety old geezer... I can hardly work up the enthusiasm to report the casting of Spock... Mind you, Leonard Nimoy will be playing the "old Spock" too. I'm sure Shatner must be on board too but I guess that won't be announced until the "young Kirk" is cast

You know, if I'd called this site "Planet Potter" I'd get more hits

And I could post exciting 'spoilers' about who lives and who dies.
Someone should ask JK Rowling the best part about writing those books. I bet she'd grin evilly and say "Deciding who lives and who dies".
I know who dies, incidentally. Just 2 characters. And you'd never guess which ones. Well, unless you've already read the ending of course.
Oh come on! Who wants to be the first person in the bookshop come midnight on the 21st to grab a copy of the book, flick to the last page (well the last page of the book proper, there is an epilogue after that) and then say in a very loud voice "I know who dies! It's ..."
For added class it is essential that you should not have read any of the books before doing this. Mispronouncing the character names will win you valuable extra points, although unfortunately the characters that die don't have difficult names. Which means I've just given away that Hermione doesn't die...
(Note that, as always, this is satire and I take no responsibility for injuries that may occur as a result of such reckless behaviour. You may wish to consider some form of body armour).

Well, I guess it behoves me to do something exciting

Now that the site is more or less back. It might be time to do something interesting. Probably not with shemales... I know it's been suggested before that I throw in some porn or something like that. Probably a violation of the "Acceptable Use Policy" of my hosting company.

I thought of countrpointing that with a differnet username to multiply the effect - and the desire. But seriously, this place has been crying out for Wesley porn for years now and you've not lifted a finger. I for one am right set on taking my service to another nwenb outlet, like dailykos or somewhere where they prob have help groups for ppl who can't find wesley porn. You don't want that do you. So c'mon - how about, for the discerning connisour of erotic materials pertaining to Wesley-themed senbji; a fucggint
WESLEY POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ps talk about getting pls hopes up Plannie.

On other boards this would be called 'hijaking a thread'
by Queasly
Here, I can barely remember what I just wrote. Somtimes the title continues on, sometimes it's completely discontinuous. There could be some syste,m to let you know, like other boards - taht point out the bleeding obvious evry fugigng step of the way.
Ok, some other sites for your consideration:
Build the Enterprise in your backgarden.
This would obv not be the whole Enterprise. This would be many ppl linked up oin the global; superdoosdh'age and each would build a part of the Enterprise. Film it. Create a virtual Enterprise. Smash it up in the backgarden sybolic-like. The mind shall rule the backgarden.
Trek knobs.
Post pictures of stills of the actors knobs showing through their lycra pants. I know you pretend not to notice, but geez, Colm Meany is well hung.
Queasly's Excersises for Trek Nerds.
This would be a quick and easy system to get into shape and look buff, while being a trek nerd lifestyle. You could do 1 of those background midis
Bev giving Wesley a good slapping around ... wait, they really did that!
Riker and Troi's hot tub hijinks. Hang, on they did that too!
Tasha Yar gets sexually graitified by a mechanical fuck machine. Holy Roddenberry - that was episode 2, Season 1.
No wonder we're so twisted...
Erm, Reg Barclay & Wesley Do Risa. Chief O'Brien comes along "for the ride". Troi and Bev just like to watch ... at first. And that's just the teaser scene before the opening credits.

How about - a mysterious virus arrives on the ship
by Queasly
And they all have sex? And a big orgy at the end - gotta have a big orgy!
Actually I've long been interested in the fanfic reaction to what is quite an asexual lil world they've portrayed on the screen - are ppl compensating for the lack of any real genuine sexial impulses from these characters - except ironically enough, Picard - or simply projecting repressed needs (ie Wesley gets buggered for 50 pages) onto figures that have non of their own... being perfect as they are.
It's not an idle discyussion - the non-violent proposition, and preproposition of classic NG gestures at a future that provides a disconnect in todays society, in which sex and violence are so intwinned, yet no1 seems willing to articulate..
for instance, in my story, 'Bev and Dea', the Doc fucks Deanna with an alien strap-on which we discover in the course of the story is actually.... but no I'd just spoil it.
Hey, here's a vid of Tuvok singin about his Mum. More watchable than the whole damn 7 years.
Re: How about - a mysterious virus arrives on the ship
by Planet Riker
Same thing with "The Lord of the Rings" - the fanfic for that is all hot hobbit orgies and rabid orcs forcing their lust on helpless elf maidens. And we all know how much sex was in that book!
So yeah. I reckon anything with Bev and Deanna. And a side order of ... what's her name? Ensign Ro. I reckon she'd be good with a shapeshifting strap-on. Or whatever it was you had in mind.

Prince is already building a faster than light ship to get to this one.
5 times bigger than Earth? I wonder what the gravity would be? Must be close to double Earth's gravity. Oy. Saggy titties will abound.
Speaking of faster than light ships, I've been reading some interesting theories lately (by a respectable physicist, not a nut). Might be doable after all.
Posted on May 7, 2007, 2:24 AM from IP address 211.30.191.143
could you see yourself coming?
As for these theories... er yeah sure.... saw this stuff on the net 10 years ago and it still hasn't been done - even that quite respectable idea from the University of Wales - the needs more negative energy than is contained in the entire universe idea. I'm still waiting eggheads... http://www.influks.com/post897.html
I still can't believe how cool that purple planet would be. 2x gravity? Bring it on.
Posted on May 9, 2007, 2:18 AM from IP address 195.92.67.74
Then you could have artifical gravity, "inertial dampers" and a "spacedrive". Maybe even faster than light - the trick is not to actually travel faster than light in your local region. That "warp bubble" idea might not actually work - but there's other ways.
As for artificial gravity - it seems that it's already been done - using rotating magnetic fields can generate a gravitional effect 10 to the power of 40 times higher than predicted by Relativity. If this is confirmed by other experimenters then this will be the first proof that Relativity is not bullet proof. There is Heim's Quantum theory, however, which did predict this link between magnetism and gravity (back in the 50s) and also made some other predictions that couldn't be tested back then but can be tested (and are being tested) now using modern particle accelerators. So far it's holding up. The theory doesn't contradict Einstein, but refines and adds new concepts in the same way that Einstein built on Newtown and other earlier work.
Also, all faster than light ships should be piloted by women with really great tits...

Has this been peer reviewed? And, what was she thinking?
by Queasly
Trying to tread the fine line here between the maverick quantum-theorassessorizing up of relativity, and dear old Marina's poor movie choices - it can't be done. I will say this though - give her a realistic gritty role and she's surprisingly good - I'd quite like to see her try some Checkov.
) what sorts of planets would you like our heros to visit!! what sort of aliens!!!do you want to see?
