As a huge Star Trek fan, I was so looking forward to this movie back in 1979 but it was overly ponderous with all the Enterprise porn. I saw a cut on TV some years later that had a scene in sickbay with

It's just another periodic correction. Most of those altcoins are derivative of Bitcoin, so when it drops in value, so will they. People said it was the end for crypto when Bitcoin dropped from $1200 to

Transporter tech is probably the most difficult of the Trek technologies to actually become a reality. Current thinking suggests that it may be possible. But the downside is that you'd have to destroy

They backed themselves into a corner by setting the new series in a period where the design ethic was established 50 years ago. The new movies made an attempt to give that kitsch, retro TOS look a 21st

It probably sounds bad but as a life-long Star Trek fan, right now I'm looking forward more to Seth McFaralane's Orville series than Discovery. I thought Discovery would be something I've been looking

Personally, I think they should have used the gold, blue and red 2-piece uniforms, at least on the USS Shenzhou to tie the series into the TOS era more. The USS Discovery can be a different beast as it's

That's the problem with setting the series in the TOS era. It should have the look and feel of TOS with the gold, blue and red 2-piece uniforms and the interior ship designs should be reminiscent of the

You're entitled to your opinion. But the BBC still make the best science and nature documentaries.

No it's not canon. The books and comics aren't canon either, and they're sanctioned by CBS and Paramount. Star Trek Continues is an independent production so unless CBS (who own the rights to the Trek

Meteors hit Earth every day. 70% of Earth is covered by water so any sizeable incoming meteors over that area are unlikely to be noticed, unless they're spotted by ships and/or satellites. While there

The BBC made a great documentary about Voyager back in 2012. Had a tear in my eye as it came to a close. Here's a clip:

I didn't enjoy Enterprise at all when it first aired. And that theme song! But I binge watched it a couple of years ago after buying the boxset (all 4 seasons on Blu Ray) new for £30 (about $45-50). While

I introduced Turbo Pascal to Optimal Software where I worked at the time (can't remember if that was before you joined up). Before that we were using a really crappy version of basic on the Husky Hunters.

How many hours have you put into Skyrim now?...

Wise words from someone who writes for a living. :)

Well, at least this conspiracy doesn't deny that we went to the Moon!

You're confusing the acquisition of knowledge and the application of that knowledge with human intelligence. Had the Romans had our knowledge and tech, they'd have been able to use it equally well. However,

We're here because an ancestor species crawled out onto land, not because humans did. We do have tails - vestigial tails, because at one time our distant ancestors did hang from branches. Our brain volume

Are humans as smart as they'd like to think they are? They have four potential and concurrent apocalypses headed their way - the threat of nuclear war between at least two nations, the increasing loss

People should look on these dips as opportunities to buy rather than times of panic when they should sell. It usually pays to be a contrarian and not follow the herd. :)
