I once got a day off school because it snowed three inches. Which was good for me, as I only lived a hundred yards from the school and could very easily have walked it. I told a friend of mine who lived in Colorado about it, and she didn't stop laughing for five minutes. Then she told me that the p...

It's snowing in Oxford and for once it's settled. Now, this is UK snow, you know the kind of stuff that after 3 hours has given us about 4" and gridlock. We don't cope with this sort of thing well. I once told a girl I was going to give her 4" and gridlock. She didn't cope with that sort ...

Was thinking about making a fanfic about Neelix and his grand adventures with his own crew etc. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas I could go from and what would be the best basis for my there to now scenario (from show to fanfic). Would appreciate any help and pointers :) - SkarmChickora :angel...

I feel like we've done this sporadically over the years, but rather than a long search and necro, here is my challenge: You can pick any episode/movie/book/your own weird Chakat fan-fic that you'd improve upon with a single change, however minor or major. I'm not setting limits as to suggesting what...

Have always loved the Executor over Manhattan in various imagery. There's also a great pic out there of the Death Star eclipsing a good chunk of Florida (sadly it didn't fire). Great find, bud!

What does everyone consider their most unwatchable episode of TNG. I'm not necessarily saying "worst" but the one that you will absolutely skip when you are on your DVD/Prime/Netflix TNG binge. I'd still consider "Shades of Gray" to be the worst episode in theory, but it is at le...

This made me chuckle... well done, sir.

Also popped in my head, the all female Ghostbusters has similar problems. Meaning, fans of that movie think men don't like it because of the all female cast. But when reality that was a poorly done movie. You can look on YouTube about its director basically insulting fans. Yes, this is a perfect ex...

For me, anyway... but I guess there’s a few who wouldn’t mind dancing on my grave. I'll take a shovel to the back of their heads for you. I appreciate it, bro-fessor, but I’m from Jersey... we know how to deal with *ahem* dissenting opinions. You mean by miring them in traffic for inordinate and un...

When I was with my previous company a few years ago, I had a guy who worked for me (named Mikey, actually) who was a retired Army Ranger with some pretty significant PTSD, having been wounded 6 times on 5 continents, and having a propensity for fish stories. Having seen some of his scars and working...

This could go either way, but the presence of a Reitman gives me some assurance. I am intrigued to see the linkage from the original to the new one, I must admit. As long as it doesn't have 3 of the ugliest and most unfunny women in the world promoting girl power in a great franchise, it will be an...

Picard has a goatee So... MU Picard, then? thereby connecting Discovery to TNG! Let's double down and go really dark... Wesley comes back to human form, bitter and addicted to suck salt, having revealed he was actually molested by The Traveler, who only shifted from one reality to the next to find ...

[quote="00111010 01000100"]If they use a similar method of constructing ships as the navy still does today, then there would’ve been a different captain and crew prior to commissioning. In the navy, they are referred to as the pre-commissioning crew. Basically as skeleton crew and command ...

A shame we don't have a "Where are they now?" section... I rather miss Granitehewer (though I've admittedly not spoken to him since about April of 2010) and I'm just curious what ever became of Chakat post-ban. If I recall, he was pretty young and immature - wonder what 9 years did for the...
