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.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
