Gene was asked about Stardates once and he said : "This time system adjusts for shifts in relative time which occur due to the vessel's speed and space warp capability. It has little relationship to Earth's time as we know it. One hour aboard the U.S.S.Enterprise at different times may equal a...

I'd interpret that as a no respect type thing. Perhaps, if that was the only interaction between him and I that you ever saw. But say you're in the same class as that kid and you see that I do have a good respect for him and call him by his name most of the time. If I then said to him something lik...

Actually Rochey, i havent. I'm quite stoic and old fashioned in that respect. Very well, that's your choice. But I think you get my point: it's not what you say, it's how it's meant. I call students "kid" sometimes. Does that mean I have no respect for whomever I'm addressing? I'd interpr...

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Calling someone 'woman' is suggesting you don't have enough respect to call her by her name or title. If I dated someone who did that to me, I'd break up with them on the spot.

There's always hope, as long as there's one fool left to fight for it. Cookie for reference.

In at least two episodes the wormhole went through a solar flare resulting in time travel. Once in season 3 I think, in the episode "1969" I think was the name and the year. SG-1 got sent back in time when the SGC was still a missle silo. They went cross country to find the Stargate and po...

To go back in time. Stargate reference

Cartoon Network used to show it. I can still recite the order they called out in to call Captain Planet

Fire!

I'd like to point out that we didn't see that much in terms of combat ability from the Romulans. The two modified "warbird" drone ships and the ship in the minefield, and we don't know the Romulan production capabilitys, or even have an indication of how intense the war even was.

It doesn't have a multi-vector assault mode.

Mikey wrote: Chauvinism implies a particularly conscious decision to treat women in a certain way; no such decision is involved in Kirk's case, because he treated them no better or worse than the norm of the mid-to-late '60's.

So it was okay because it was what everyone else was doing? That's no excuse IMO

You're assuming that's not what we planned all along

I can't writer a proper TV script, yet no one complains when I or anyone else here makes fun of VOY or ENT. That's not true. I've complained about it on occasion. The ability to surpass a certain thing is not required to criticise that thing. Surpass, no. But have experiance or background knowing h...

And if the year doesn't fit evenly with twelve months, like how an earth year doesn't fit evenly into twelve months? Blackstar, are you even reading your own posts? Uh...no. Sometimes I start saying something and then my thoughts get jumbled and next thing you know I could be talking about somethin...
