I assume you are referring to all the species of the week here, rather than the more established and settled powers. In which case, you are correct. More often than not, they were so extremely touchy over some petty cultural faux pas, some point of esoteric ettiquette as to be a joke. The question ...

Except the Goa'uld have visible technology whose effects can be replicated. The Q, with the exception of that one crap episode Q and the Grey, don't and even there we never see them taking those rifles, swords and cannons that can wound and kill Q out of the Q Realm so we don't even know if they're...

My top choices are: Phil and Kaja Foglio's Girl Genius as a TV series, preferably live action but good cartoon would work. You'd just need to get all the Mad Science right. John Ringo's 'Into the Looking Glass' trilogy as movies, though mainly for when they do Vorpal Blade and Manxome Foe . The Posl...

Go the Raccoons ! They are already highly intelligent, inquisitive omnivores, and they have HANDS ! Sure, I've only ever seen them on Attenborough, but they sure impressed the hell out of me. In this scenario, whether we can let the Zeds starve themselves to death or not, having furry little gun-wie...

Ah, the resurrection of Zombie Threads... they want your BR-AAINNS. Guys, why has no one mentioned the Goa'uld here? This is exactly the kind of 'overawe the peasants'-bullshit they gloried in. Ever since the very first Stargate movie, I've never been able to look at Q the same again. Everything we'...

As noone appears to have responded to your valuable points, I thought I might have a shot at it with some further explainations and exposition. Now, some further points: - I don't think its that unreasonable that what we saw fighting in DS9 was not the entirety of Starfleet. Indeed, if we allow for ...

Hey, midshipman! I told you already back then that your comparison was bull due to a rather obvious difference. The end of the Falkland War didn't involve mass-murdered civilians and british officers celebrating right in the middle of a killing field. A better comparison are all those german civili...

Jackass attitudes and practises do not suddenly become beyond reproach just because they come under the umbrella of "culture". Also, look a few pages back, I started this because Sea Trooper thought it was "sanctimonous" to not celebrate over the corpses of massacred civilians, ...

Wow a six... Hey SeaTrooper, you think a hundred credits will buy us a ticket to somewhere safer? My first thought on rolling a six and ending up on Naboo, was look at how freaking wealthy that planet is. 50creds wouldn't last a day, so 100 wouldn't be much better. Remember that Solo originally wan...

It is funny you should bring up the "Psych Warfare angle" in Star Trek EU the goal of the Dominion was not completely the conquest of the alpha quadrant. Their main goal was to eliminated the telepathic races that could detected them, allowing them to replace the leaders with their own ag...

The search function is busted, but we got multiple instances of ISD's becoming asploded from shit in their hangar bay when I made a thread to the effect of "how durable is wars armor?" The question I posed was how good are they at standing up to interior explosions, and the answer was &qu...

Ok, then that leaves us back at the original post. DS9 ends without hearing anything more of the 4 Founders reported to be acting within the Fed, and I don't remember this being mentioned at all in Voy. So... any more ideas what happened to them? I've also got to question the number that would have ...

Would they not have been infected with the virus created at the command of Section 31? Once they began showing visible symptoms (rotting away on the outside), then they should have been identified and picked up in fairly quick order. Unless, of course, they'd escaped Earth by then. Perhaps there are...

Wow. So, not just a stellar roll of the dice, but a roll that needed to be made over and over again basically from one ur-second to the next! Roll less than a six just once, and the whole house of cards blows up in your face (I really enjoy dicing metaphors). Also, it sounds like they really should ...

What? Nooo! That's one of the more beautiful stellar phenomena out there!

A damned fine post. And to reinforce the point, I have seen it argued in several other threads that the Big-E's primary function was neither exploration nor military, but rather propaganda . Here you had the biggest, most outwardly impressive starship design SF was then capable of building, crewed b...

Ah, so that graph doesn't actually show number of ships at all, but rather a quantification of various strengths and weaknesses on a point-based scale. Okay, that makes some sense. When I first looked at the vertical scale and saw 6,000,000 I very nearly ignored it automatically as some trektard wan...

Yep, that 2nd script works much better. Now imagine how a Fed diplomat would have reacted? Speaking of which, how the hell do Fed diplomats get away with just surrendering presumably important assets solely to get a treaty? The DMZ between Cardassia and the Feds, where they simply ordered the abando...

I wonder what would happen if they seeded fluidic space with a series of massive dovin basal mines? Ummm, how excatly are the Vong suppost to seed fluidic space. Fuck, how are they supposed to access it even? And someone tell me why the Vong would be using anti-personal mines in a space fight? Whil...

Yup, and then never seen again. Still, I've always thought that the Genesis Device (Torpedo) would have been best used exactly as it was originally intended. Create livable worlds out of dead planetoids, that you can then build colonies, bases and infrastructure on. We have seen that the Fed use an ...

Now, I know nothing of Star Trek canon outside of the series but I always imagined that the Cardasian occupation of Bajor must have started something like that. Cardasians come and try to talk. Locals act like morons. Cardasians say: We are not the federation! Burn! lol In other words, what I am tr...

Guys, just did a search on Caprica and found that it was threatened with cancellation by an entirely new series called 'Chrome and Blood'. Set between Caprica and nBSG, the blurb I've states that they really will detail the creation and rise of the Cylons (promises!). Has anyone heard anything about...

that The ending of nBSG made no freaking sense, but then I heard that Caprica was going to be a Drama set well before the 1st Cylon War. Naturally, you'd think it would be covering how the cylons came to be created in the first place, wouldn't you? Apparently not. We're really talking about a day-t...

The AT-AT guns are only supposedly 16 kilotons because someone 7 years ago analyzed the fireball while making questionable scaling assumptions and stroking their cock. If we concede that the fireball doesn't look like one that should result from such firepower, then there's no reason to assume that...
