Star Trek?


Star Trek? It’s ok I guess. This still is from the coolest story Star Trek ever did. And it was never referenced again.

    this was super gnarly for the time.  Exploding heads and all that shit. 

    Major hints at big things in the future... then nada.

    I wonder why this got the axe.

    Benjamin Baugh I think they wound up going with the Borg instead of the Conspiracy aliens.

    Casey G. Plus, Starfleet was supposed to be the safe space, far from enemy lines.

    Coolest story? Eh, Maybe for TNG. It is a shame they didn't follow up.

    I also vividly remember this episode from my youth and would frequently talk about it with my friends and wondered why it got forgotten. I think I read that this plot might have been readdressed and resolved in a years later novel.

    Yeah, that was super disturbing. Possibly too disturbing for Star Trek.

    I really like that episode in original Star Trek where Kirk gets in a fight over a woman and the question is raised of what it means to be human. Wasn't that a great one?

    A bad storyline cut short was the "warp engines cause space-climate-change." They set a warp speed limit to reduce damage to...space...then never refer to it again.

    Casey G.​ Actually, it was referred to in a later episode where they were given "special permission" to exceed the limits due to some threat.

    The fact that they never went back to it is why it is so great!

    Such a weird episode. Gross in a way TNG rarely was.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
