Rodenberry's vision, aside from being naive, is what destroyed the franchise. A story in which none of the characters are supposed to be in conflict with eachother because of the utopia the Federation has wrought leaves very little room for character development. Also, the "reset button" at the end of every episode was SO annoying.

City on the Edge of Forever.

Best
Episode
Ever

The spinoffs blow compared to the original (especially Voyager & Enterprise), and I grew up during the TNG "explosion" in the early 90's.

Does anyone remember when SciFi was running uncut "Special Editions" of TOS in the US? They were about 1 1/2 hours long with additional cast & crew interviews, etc. Was on around 97-98. Great stuff. Then they screwed it up and yanked it from the schedule.

Honestly, I almost never use any section of this site but Off Topic anymore. General Starwars is a mess, OT vs SE is played out, and I'm not into fanedits or preservation.

This is quite true, Chalts. Can't remember the last time I posted in the other forums. Off-topic is my bookmark, which is sad. However, I totally believe what J has said, in that the other forums are more active than Off-top.

Agreed on the vehicle force. The Lion series was unbelievable.

Nice to see a company putting so much effort into a release, and also keeping the fans informed.

Anyone play the original Master of Orion? It was a DOS based game that was a space colonozation deal. Very, VERY addictive. You got to choose your race from many different ones, each having their own attributes, etc. Then you had to manage your spending on tech, defense, spying, and such. The graphics were not very good but man the stuff they let you do in game play was hands down the best at the time. Spent months playing that game.

EDIT: Wiki on the game -

M.O.O.

Rome: Total War is the first game in a looooong time that's hooked me. I played that game for weeks. Medieval: Total War 2 is coming out this month, I believe, and that will be one I snatch up big time.

Other than that, Call of Duty is cool, although too easy, and Unreal Tournament '04 is hands-down the best FPS I've ever played, and I've been playing them since the original Doom.

Fortunately JLA is only delayed for a week. Civil War and it's tie-ins are being pushed to late September! Wonder Woman...meh. Don't read it, but I understand if it's fans are torqued off. The first one came out like 2 months ago, I think.

Civil War Delayed Big Time-

I'm a Marvel newb, to tell the truth. I've only been reading their stuff for about 2 1/2 years now. I love it. I think their art is outstanding, and the stories good. I've always heard about problems in their "event" series and such, but never paid it any heed.

This IRKS me:

Civil War Delayed

This series is very good, and I've been picking up many of the tie-ins, but now I've even got to wait for those. Boo I say! Boo and Hiss!

I know I hit on this one a while ago, but has anyone been reading Gaiman's The Eternals? Good stuff, so far.

Also, saw recently that The Avengers is going to be made into a movie, which is good, IMO, as hopefully DC will do the same with JLA.

Hello Everyone.

Not that anyone cares, but I'm back from my leave of absence. I see some things have changed, especially recently. I hope that the storm dies down, and that, in the words of that felon Rodney King, we can "...all just get along".

I got spanked in the OT.Com chess tourney, and I'm hoping maybe we can start a live version, not just correspondence. PlayChess.com is cool, but you have to pay to get a username. Yahoo might be a good choice.

Anyhoo, drop me a note if you want. I'm happy to be back.

May the Force be with Us...

To my friends at the OT.com site:

I'm going to be leaving for now. I've got many, many things to do in my personal life as of late, and sadly I can't stick around much any more. I'm hoping this won't be a permanent absence, but one never knows in this day and age.

I will be finishing my chess games in the OT.Com tourney and posting the results.

It's been a hell of a ride since I joined up, and I'm ecstatic that we're getting our beloved OOT on dvd soon. I hope to return in time to discuss it with you.

Keep the faith, May the Force be with You, and keep it real.

I find it extremely unlikely that an unarmed, law-abiding populace is somehow safer with an ARMED criminal element in their midst. And, again, they don't need to be armed with guns. All comes down to a balance of power.

I've heard this many times when "concealed carry" laws have been debated in this country, and it's been shown time and time again that in areas where people can carry guns on their person the crime rate has DROPPED.

An armed society is a polite society? Please explain that logic!

It's the same logic that says the mere presence of a gun means someone will pick it up and use it illegally!

I hardly belive being polite has anything to do with shooting people!

It's called a metaphor, Ric. It means that violent criminals (rich ones as well as "poor" ones) are less likely to attack someone who may be armed.
