The first site on the 'Net to discuss the tenth Star Trek movie!! Brought to you by the enigmatic Planet Riker...
Aaah, memories
by Andy
Okay, I'm bored and just fancied having some fun, but if you guys remember me from when I posted here regularly this should give you a laugh.
Am I embarressed or what? Is that even how you spell embarressed? Erm, anyway -
the ramblings of a completely insane 16 year old. Or maybe even younger (a very scary prospect considering that the 20th milestone is gonna hit me some time in the next few weeks...) What the hell was I thinking? That I was some kind of genius who could rattle off any old crap? That I was completely hysterical and that everyone loved what I wrote? You may have skipped over all of this by now but if you're still here, I'm referring to my old Star Trek X (which turned out to be the car-wreck that was Nemesis) ideas.
Here's a link to one thing we had going, a round-robin kind of thing: http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/9670?it=91 (incidently subject 911 when I found it, but it won't be now). What the hell am I talking about? Then, for even more bollocks from me, there are plenty of threads around those pages (if you keep moving backwards in time) where I reply to anything in a completely cynical mannar, or just act completely stupidly. Basically, I was one of those pricks that seems to fill Trektoday's webspace that rants about anything that, being more 'grown up' I tend to dislike.
I had two other ideas that I can't even find (making me scared that I was once really young) but man, really, what was I thinking?
Oh well, guess I'll try and find that Star Trek and Society thing to see if I was really full of crap all the time...

What a wonderful invention is the pop-up - never before in the history of mankind has our attention been able to be grabbed so quickly and invasively. But aren't all our thoughts 'pop-ups'? - swimming up from the subconscious, we resent their intrusion, but we have to pay attention to them. But we can still make a principled decision to look elsewhere for our on-line CDs and DVDS, yeah EBayUK, I'm talking to you. Little fucking toerags.
I'll tell you what gets - it's the way it becomes acceptable because it's commercalised, because every1 else does it. Because it's a huge conglomerate so there's no1 to actually personally blame for the shit we get shoveled. There's this Cup-a-soup from Asda - that's right, I'm naming names - except we're talking huge hyper-market chain, and they want to make as much money as possible, as shamelessly as possible - so they're not content to sell Cup-a-soups, no they have to sell store-brand soups for every little bit of mollah they can lay their grubby hands on - and you know what they call this shit??? Do you? I mean, they ape the traditional cup-a-soup packaging, but that was a given, that's acceptable now, given that they've been doing it for the last decade and there's been no major brooha - but d'ya know what they call it??
Soup-a-cup.
Now if this was an individual he'd been laughed at right in his face. He'd deserve it too, he'd deserve the public humiliation that would follow him to the end of his days. Would he feel a private humiliation? -honestly it's hard to even know with these ppl. But this isn't 1 person - it;s a brand - it's 'Asda' who came up with this bollocks, who honestly thinks that such a pathetically low level of consideration is acceptable. And so it's alright because the responsibility can be shifted from the 1 to the many and back again - where's the responsibility gone, for the love of Peter Andre?? It's called a brand isn't it?- every *single* employee *of* Asda *should* feel *branded* with *the* shame *of* *Soup*-*a*-*cup* - but no, all and any responsibility these days seems to just dissolve away like so much cheap powered ..soup-a-cup into an unappetising tacky rip-off of cup-a-soup. And those crutons are a fucking joke.
There's a mean-spiritedness about so much of modern-day life - which in many ways goes beyond money and profit - perhaps it won't be long before um Gespatcho soup gets rebranded as Spatchgesto soup or something. But more than meanness there's a nastyness - what's still good and decent in this world is rounded on and exploited at any opportunity, as if exploitation had become common currency. You just need to hitch a ride and go to the end of the line.
Oh, hi Andy. What you doing here - that really you was it? Right, back to the oscars.

Actually one thing I do find interesting is that I'll go weeks (months) without checking back here and when I do one of you gues has posted just a few hours before. Weird. But I never really lost that spirituality in me. Now i just don't talk about it.
Actually the pop ups never bother me, because I hit the stop key just after everything opens.
I must say that was interesting just having a quick flick through the old boards. Like you say Queez, there are things you can get away with because everyone is doing it, or better yet, it's all in the past and you can be more honest. Like how George Bush is a bit of a dodgy bugger and that he very well set the whole 911 show up. There are those all over the net scouring for such remarks ready to cut you down. Or maybe even track you down - like giving old BuShit a verbal bashing is on par with child pornography. But lets not kid ourselves - he's no God like Emperor. (Is that how it's spelled?)
I'll also admit that most of my posts then were either heavily influenced by a little green tabaccy or a clear straight alchoholic beverage. But I haven't touched either in so long. And look where it gets me. No trek and no trek talkback.
Fear not - we shall return for a next generation of Trek (or likewise). Mark my words.
One thing I do have in my possession is a copy of that Trek X script which was only 'told to me over the phone' many moons ago. The purple aliens seeking refuge and lashing out. Turned out to be a little better written than John Logans piece and also had some marvelous action sequences. One of them being the enterprise getting trapped in a super star destroyer sized vessel. It actually called it that!! And then having to make it's escape before the ship blew up. It was lifted right out of ID4. But damn was it an exciting end.
Yeah... i still have no tact for ending my posts

I was always a bit wary about the purple aliens script which you heard over the phone, chin chin. No, I mean, I'm sure you really heard something on the other end of a phone, but maybe it was the talking clock or something. But you've got a script eh? - thing is, remembering back I'm sure I'd already come up with the idea of purple aliens. ~Guess either some1s really determined to fuck with your head, or it's the real deal - Maybe some guy who'd writen his own trek X script and wanted to garner some internet momentum - which case hats off to the guy, though I don't really give a
Thing is though,m in retrospect the 'purple alien' concept is clearly phalic in origin. 'Seeking refuge and lashing out' eh... 'making it's escape before the ship blew up' hmmmm. But now I want to know more - I'm imagining this trek film with a load of penis aliens running about and it's actually quite good..... I mean after all, Nemesis tried to do the whole life and death together thing and completely cocked it up - why not go the whole way - Picard could mediate with that strange-shaped head of his.
Maybe... the drugs just made all this seem worth it???

God knows why I'm here - I think it's some sort of in between thing whilst I take a break from uni and, shudder get on with some work to earn some non-government money that was sponged whilst I was learning. I miss the days when I spent all my time between lessons here. School seemed so hard back then when in reality I'd give up everything now to go back. Guess I'm just lazy...
I like the notion of doing it all again wih the new generation of Trek (whatever and whenever that rears its head) - we'd probably be doing it now if Enterprise wasn't the crock of shit it turned out to be. You think we'd have learned from the past (though actually I seem to be taking the piss out of it - oh well).
And hey, 11 Oscars for a fantasy film? What were the judges smoking this year and can I have some?

Omg Beckham had a an affair with Jordan I can't believe it she's such a slapper Victoria's gonna go spare bet she's really giving David evils for what he did he's supposed to be a new man and he goes and has it away with that tart. I mean what did he even see in her in the first place? Oh, right, yeah I suppose so.
Posted on Feb 3, 2004, 6:58 PM from IP address 80.225.0.125
Maybe she just made to many advances on him. Perhaps she was like, 'I just have to have you'. 'please, i need you'. And maybe he was like 'no, i can't. I'm Beckham'. and then she opened up her shirt and flashed her curlies and he was like... 'no... no (thinks) no! (looks around) I really shouldn't (looks around again) ok, maybe just a quick one.' And then that evil bitch couldn't get off him fast enough to go and tell the whole friggen planet.
Women are like that.
Posted on Feb 5, 2004, 4:07 AM from IP address 203.61.64.6
The lastest is that Becks is denying it all. Men are so predictable - 'she's not my type' he says - 'my only type is Victoria'. What happened to men being up front and honest about all this stuff 0 telling ppl exactly what happened? In detail -I've had to read about soddin Hutton for tha past week.
But speaking of - is any1 else finding the US primaries absolutely fascinating? Course Kerry is out in front - but does he have what it takes to defeat Bush?
Posted on Feb 7, 2004, 11:54 AM from IP address 62.64.215.244
If we lived in the glory days of men owning up to their mistakes you'd have Bush coming forward and saying 'Yeah I just wanted to drop some bombs and feel like we were in some hardcore war of the old... to bad it just ended up being a slaughter of 100 000 innocents - hey we got a shit load of oil.'
Actually I was watching bush on 'Meet the press' in his first ever TV interview. He really is just a bumbling intimidated fool. Barring all voter rigging He wont make second term - but they don't need to because Kerry is from the same Illuminaty training camp. Why go to the trouble of putting Bush back in power when you can simply replace him with an equal and pass the new guy off as from the left Wing of government. Left wing, right wing - their both wings of the same bird so the real question is - why are we all so stupid as to fall for it?
Besides, It's General Wesley Clark America really wants. Anyone who's taken the time to hear what he has to say and look at his policy will see he is the only choice for the US to return to any sign of what it once was. But then again - who the fuck am I?

IS it a coincidence that there hasnt been a single great Special effects Science Fiction Film since Post Jurrasic CGI? Since... What? T2? Science Fiction Films that Utilise this technology always seem to fall short. The only notable exception being Fight Club.
f you want my theory its that acting and Visual
improv has gone out the window.

Beyond that it gets a bit complicated - though the Mars Express has found ice - frozen water - at the south pole the Americans found it 2 years ago, but this was an indirect observation and now they've found evidence of particles of water vapour.. and the carbon dioxide is less in the summer, so that proves it..
Water on Mars deserves it's own post right? Funny how we went such a step backwards from canals and little green men, and now we're starting from scratch... water, singlecells, ameobas maybe - something more complicated on Europa. Who knows what else.
But what;s strange is that we're looking for intelligent life on other worlds when gobshite gobshit gobbltegoshite

Blame my star trek polluted mind but is there really any doubt? They speak so openly about gases and things like hydrogen, helium and oxygen being causes of light colours and all that - but no one has the balls to simply state that water must be present - since water is just oxygen and hydrogen. Further more, for quite a few years now I've been looking at extremely high quality pictures of mars surface from space, and really the landscape is almost no different to high quality pictures of Earth from space. The place has rivers and mountains and sand dunes and all that... but the thing is, you can't even see water or vegitation on Earth space pics unless it is in a large quantity - so small shrubs and lakes are quite possible... but what gets me most is, why do all images from the surface always look exactly the same... big flat surface riddles with pebbles. No area of mars is the same when you look at it from space, why should the surface... and besides - those pics just don't look natural. Don't get me wrong, i want to believe... but why is there no variation in the images? if you dropped a probe on Earth would it look the same no matter where you were?
Posted on Jan 23, 2004, 11:40 PM from IP address 203.61.64.18
Is it right to use Mars as Earth's bitch? Should we leave well alone because it's been left alone unchanged for billions of years - just like the entire universe - or maybe because a million years later life might restart without our interference... isn't that from an Enterprise episode?
Just stopping by and thought I'd contribute to your lovely message board. Any1 seen the latest Mars pics - they're out of this world! I mean not of this world. Of a different world ok.

White stuff all around. Strange forbidding atmosphere pervades. Joyous faces everywhere. It must be snowing!
And, you know, snow is v like power - it falls from an unseen distance, melts in the hand, yet can be rolled up and chucked in your face. And every snowflake is different, like every little flake of power.
Like every clump of influence, and every snowman of control, the world is created and recreated anew by snow, I mean power. Ideas are given form, acrue... but 1 day will start to turn to mush.
But what is power? That's what I'd like to know - iced water? frozen change? yet-to-melt will?
Looking around me, I think I now know. It is love.
Now I have the power of love.

Too much evidenc on the Martian surface points to there having been water. There probably is still a fair amount of water beneath the surface. There must be, otherwise the stuff at the poles would have been lost into space - given the low atmospheric pressure if the ice at the poles was all the water Mars had it would have lost all its water a couple of billion years ago. There must be a huge amount underground. If there is no longer any life there, then it might take a while to find evidence of former life, particularly if it was not "life as we know it". For example, you wouldn't expect Martian life to be based on DNA (unless it had a common origin with Earth life).
And Europa - yeah that could be an even better prospect. I think that idea was first raised in "2010" (the book, not the movie).

Nasa has been accused of altering the colour of their Mars photographs. Nasa has responded that te colour filters they put the pictures through allow for better studying ability of rocks, and more distinguishing ability between these pictures and that of the Earth.
This facinates me because I remember reading years ago that there was no reason why Mars, and even the moon would not have blueish atmosphere's. Becuase this is the true colour of sunlight.
I was also reading about how the moon is not lighter in gravity than the earth, but is in fact six times stronger.
This brings us back to the faked moon landing... but we only need bush to tell us that the technology to get us to the moon will take 15 years to develope.
I'm scrating a hole in my head here.
Posted on Feb 2, 2004, 6:20 AM from IP address 210.84.85.117
I've been thinking about this, and I'm sorry, but everything this bloke says just seems to reek of bullshit. He wants to put 1 billion dollars into Nasa so that we can all get to the moon and then mars.
Now, 1 space shuttle already costs a billion a year to maintain.
This dude also talks about putting together a plan to have man back on the moon by 2020 and on mars by 2030. That's more than a whole generation away.
Take into accound these factors - JFK said he'd put a man on the moon within about 5 - 10 years. (The moon landing was faked, wake up already!) Also, If Bush were really serious about Space exploration, then why the hell did he cut Nasa's budget 2/3 in half when he took office? Hense the shuttle disaster last year.
Also, giving yourself a 20 - 30 year time table gets him what? respect? A 20 - 30 year presidency?
Which is what this is all about... re-election.
And proves a couple facts... Bush knows that no one on this big green and blue planet wants it funked up by him and his weapons of mass distruction - terrorists or not... and that people really do want to live in the star trek world... so, for the cost of re-election, he'll get us there in 30 years.
And what's say we all fall for it? What's he going to do with all that spare time in between?
This just gets better and better!
Posted on Jan 14, 2004, 6:07 AM from IP address 203.61.64.110
Well... this might be like another of those Bush ventures - done for the wrong reasons, done badly, but in the end how can you critise the goal of going to Mars, putting a man on another planet for the first time in history, uniting the world if only briefly in dreams of da trek.
Well because of course the obscene amounts projected (a trillion dollars??) could be spent on better things - Aids, clean water for all, removing 3rd world debt and on - but if we're honest it's not like the money for space exploration is being diverted from some 'good deeds' fund, this is money that wouldn't have gone to help those that need it. And I suppose... if one were to look at it mre abstractly, one could say that an unwillingness to sort out a problem directly is being met by a solution on a higher level of er process. or consciousness. Hey, it's like tax breaks for the rich, it all filters down right? - or like walking by the homeless - don't we have shelters for those sorts of ppl?
I'm pretty sure the real reason we're going to Mars, or going via the moon, is because the Chinese have aspirations to go to the moon - and then who knows what they might do when they get there, set up some Commie lunar utopia or something/ So this is basc a space race, or rather a declaration of intent... 20, 30 years - Bush is saying 'don't even bother China, it's not worth it', and perhaps he's right. In the meantime, hoary old fake or no, it's pretty exciting following what's going on over at this place: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/
Posted on Jan 15, 2004, 1:41 AM from IP address 62.64.224.55
It is all about the Chinese. They have restarted the "space race". It's going to look bad if the Chinese starting putting people on the Moon in a few years time and the US can't even keep the Shuttle going.
That trillion dollar figure is going to be spent over a long period, and you know the US government spends that much on defense every two years or so. Of course, all that money spent on defense did squat back on 9/11 - and the same applies to the missile defense program Bush wants now. Hell, the war in Iraq costs several times the budget of NASA.
I'm pretty sure the spending money on space is a good thing, even if the motivation is wrong.
The problems in the world - hunger, AIDS etc - are only partly about money and mostly about a lack of interest in fixing the problems.
Hell, there's poor and homeless people in the USA, and that's the richest country in the world - so clearly money is not the problem.

Gimme a break (*rolls eyes to extreme ends of eye sockets*). I can’t believe how people can be so easily deceived and manipulated. This is a classic stunt of an amateur magician – misdirection. “Hey! Look over here! Check out what this hand is doing while the other hand robs you of all your civil rights. Look! Flashy space ships! Ooooo!!!!!! Wake up and look at the big fucking picture, people.
I want to know if the West will stand up and take responsibility for what's going on in the Middle East. Who will join Saddam when he's tried for crimes against humanity? Which multinational companies and which western politicians? Sometimes in politics the moral high ground can only be reached by wading through the lowlands of public amnesia.
A search of Australian Hansard for the period when Saddam was committing the worst of his crimes - gassing Iranian soldiers in 1983-4 and the Kurds of Halabja in 1988 - fails to turn up any expressions of concern in the Parliament by either John Howard or Alexander Downer. Not. A. Word. It's not until the WMD pretext falters in the weeks before the invasion that Canberra discovers human rights violations in Iraq.
Right up till the Gulf War he was the West's favored ally and trading partner, praised by George Bush Snr himself as “a source of moderation in the region”. At that time Washington was still providing Baghdad with dual-use licensed materials, including chemical precursors, biological warfare-related materials and missile guidance equipment - enabling Saddam to develop his WMD programs. It's difficult to believe that either George Bush 2 or over 150 companies in Europe, the United States and Japan which provided components and know-how needed by the monster in Baghdad to build atomic bombs, chemical and biological weapons, want this information publicly aired.
Now he says we want to go back to the moon (don’t give me any of that crap about faked moon landings or I will be forced to make you look silly). But I want to know what for? And why now?
The US no longer has the Saturn rockets that ferried the Apollo astronauts to the moon in the 1970s. And after more than 100 missions and plenty of kilometres, the Space Shuttle fleet is not up to the job. What's more, as Bush said yesterday, "America has not developed a new vehicle to advance human exploration in space in nearly a quarter century". Unless the US teams up with the Russians, who have such rockets, or the Chinese, whose time line has them on the moon by 2020, NASA will have to knuckle down and build a new spacecraft from, quite literally, the ground up. Are Americans ready to play nice in the sandpit?
NASA could join forces with the European Space Agency. The unmanned Smart-1 spacecraft, slated for launch next September, is a flight to the moon aimed at demonstrating Europe's space-faring capability. Once Smart-1 arrives, it will search for water or ice in craters and check out the mineral resources.
Of immediate interest to NASA, though, may well be the spacecraft's propulsion system. Fuelled by xenon gas and powered by solar energy, the so-called "ion engine" sidesteps the need to launch and carry heavy - and therefore expensive - conventional chemical rocket fuel. I mean, rockets????? What are we thinking???? We should be looking a nuclear power engines – its clean, cheap and safe. But the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty bans all testing to do with nukes. Bet they didn’t think that one through.
By the way, it's not surprising that, as an oil man himself, Bush mentioned several times the "abundant resources" to be had on the moon. Although I cant imagine what sort of practical application moon rocks might bring. His entrepreneurial background was also reflected in comments about "technological breakthroughs" from space activities. A White House fact sheet on the announcement claimed that more than 1300 NASA and other US space technologies "have contributed to US industry, improving our quality of life and helping save lives". On the list are kidney dialysis machines, medical scanners, programmable heart pacemakers and satellite communications. And Teflon. My eggs don’t stick to the pan thanks to NASA.
Don’t get me wrong. I doubt we'll forever stop sending humans into space. Human exploration of space is part of human nature. Going back to the moon and on to Mars and beyond is important for our souls. Of course, us earthlings cannot speak of space exploration first hand. Apollo mission astronaut Gene Cernan can. He was the last man on the moon. Yesterday, Bush quoted his remark on leaving the little silver globe: "We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind."
It's a beautiful and poetic thought. But, sadly for romantics, it wasn't the last one uttered from the moon. What did Cernan really say before lift-off? "Let's get this baby out of here!"

If China wants the Moon. China can fucking have it.
As for the rest of us; Whats wrong with allowing a glimmer of false hope while We send our kids off to fight the forever War? What else do we have?
Posted on Jan 17, 2004, 3:28 AM from IP address 203.61.186.22
Well, you couldn't expect Howard and Downer to be straight up and honest, could you? They've lied consistently about practically everything.
There's something really "1984" about how our allies become our worst enemies and vice versa. That book is still relevant (maybe more relevant than ever).
[i]By the way, it's not surprising that, as an oil man himself, Bush mentioned several times the "abundant resources" to be had on the moon. Although I cant imagine what sort of practical application moon rocks might bring. [/i]
Although it might seem cost-prohibitive to mine stuff in space, bear in mind that the cost of sending this stuff back to Earth could be quite low cost due to the moon's low gravity (you wouldn't need much fuel).
As I've said before, the timing of this new Space effort is partly because the Chinese have just put a guy into orbit and are now talking about moon missions. And of course there's the European space program. The mistake the US made the first time around was in blowing a major amount of money on the Apollo program and then abandoning it just when it was getting into full swing, so that Nixon could pay for the Vietnam War (and the only spin-offs from that were a couple of good war movies, and the South-East Asian heroin trade).

... the paranoid fear the these once heavily attacked nations would hold a grudge and build up an arsonal of weapons to one day pay back their old pal the Usoa... Hee hee - fugn morons.

I Have mixed Feelings about Christmas. I want to keep my money. Is that too much to ask?

And Happy Holidays to all.

Oh sure it's a perversion of all that's good and wholesome

But I say goodness and generousity have already become perverted - I say Christmas just temporarily returns the world to its rightful way - I say irrideemable perverion is an illusion.
Better start covering your juices over those big birds.

this christmas has kinda come along in a big way. So I guess I'd best get into the spirit.
I'm always torn between the expensive forgettable presents as opposed to the cheap blow up framed pics i take which are remembered forever... but don't leave much surprise for what friends are getting next year.
But then, Americans got Saddam this year... and a shitload of oil. Good for them. now all we need is them to hand over Bush and it'll be the best christmas ever.
Alas, I fear I've been given a new Virus by hanging around this site again. Terrible. What was once forested frolicking land of my cherished youth feels like a deforested mozzy infested swamp...... with a little toxic waste thrown in.
For the love of God, can't somebody do something.
Yes well. I saw David Sezuki give a talk once also. Oh, and I saked all my friends this year. Buncha christ lovin hipocrites. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone indeed.
Merry christmas and happy new year, good will toward men and all that other crap.

Benno, I can't believe you'd break up with all your Christian boyfriends this close to christmas. What are they supposed to do now.
But.. miracles do still happen at christmas. Like a new ep of trek, that isn't Enterprise. Like some class animation set in the NG universe. Like this: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/specials/article/3833.html which, sure isn't as great as you'd been led to believe - but it is a beginning.

Well. I loved lord of the rings... Loved the Oliphaunts. The Denethor/ Faramir stuff. Not enough Legolas/ Gimli/ Faramir. I missed Sharky. But I could get by just seeing his throat cut and I understand thats in the extended edition. Favourite scenes? The Ent scenes at the start... The Suicide charge of Faramir, and "You Bow for no one" The Scene I was most afraid wasnt going to be in there was- The severed head scene... I look formard to Gimli doing some more killing.
Okay its not exactly David Stratton but theres my review.
I saw a great SF movie you might have missed. A boy and his dog. So whys it relevant for Planet Riker? Who gives a damn. Thats why.......no wait. It was Written by Harlan Ellison. Worth it for the performance of the Talkign dog alone. Seriously. This guy is amazing. Greatest Sci Fi ending of all time. Beano If you want a Great Christians chat. try church USA. Most of the people who go there dont seem to be Christian. Take it easy Beano, P>R, Q...sly I think thats everyone these days. Happy New Year.
One more thing... Can you. Induce an earthquake? I know you can with nuclear weapons but... Would dynamite on a faultline do it? Would bunkerBusters do it? Would dropping a lot of bombs on a neighbouring country do it? Notice how theres always an unusually high number of natural disasters everytime theres a nuclear test? Just a thought. You know those Mobile labs the americans know are in Iraq because they built them? Well... Whats going to happen when they find them and theyre american made.? Maybe thats why the ones that they do find are always empty.

Well. What if you had... Well. Ive got nothing. No wait. If i were umm. Doing a Trek. Id make it about the relationship between the Humans and Vulcans. See, Vulcans are the most fully realised race and uhh-- Well I like the idea of the Federation disintegrating from within- thats great- and Ive just seen this neat movie called equilibrium. Which is a rip off of Brave New World and 1984- But its a great movie anyway, about the highs and lows of Human emotion eraadicated with drugs by a corrupt sate ... maybe in Trek we have a Powerful group within the federation that Blames the plight of the Federation on the Emotional nature of Men-- Maybe they are supported by A Vulcan Faction that helps Humans learn the Vulcan Methods of Control, But Human physiology denies that Level of Control and most Earth Men choose not to attempt it anyway-- Then someone hits on the idea of using Borg implants to umm... Well you know.
So someone, Picard or Sisco pipes up and says "Well, we managed to live in relative Peace and Tranquility for 400 years, maybe its just that our present leaders are bastards. But its too late-- Humanity is Borg... It could be interesting-- Our Crew Whoever they may be, Performing some role on earth and watching as Humanity slowly accepts or are forced to accept the implants, as Captains allies At the start of the Photoplay are bitter Rivals by the End-- Kind of like Invasion of the Bodysnatchers--- our Ship Escapes Earth and Travels about 7 years in the Past-- They inform the Federation of the threat and Work to prevent it. News of The Future Escapes to the Public- Who Embark on an anti Technology Rampage-- We Discover Datas been (Deccomissioned) and Starfleet disbanded- A Temporal Shield is Errected around the Earth that Prevents Contact with other Lifeforms and Technology
