Aspies For Freedom

Mmm...

An interesting point is that the Vulcans do not actually lack emotion. Inside they are actually very emotional -- they have just used logic to mask / control their emotions.

As for the "lack of gravity" thing, I have always considered: Ships that have harnessed the energy required for faster than light travel would conceivably have enough technology for artificial gravity.

I would be more concerned about the notion that so many alien life forms are basically primates with lumpy heads -- with which humans can interbreed even though they cannot interbreed with other earth species. (Although this could arguably be represented as an example of evolutionary convergence -- the same phenomenon that leads hedgehogs and echidnas to look similar although they are so very distantly related.)

  TNG was my first special interest...though at the time I defined it as an obsession.  It was all I watched and all I talked about.  Now I like to put it on when I really need cheering it up, it gives me a safe sort of feeling.

I like TOS too...but I never could get into DS9, Voyager (though I watched when Q showed up), or Enterprise.  None of them measured up to TNG, for me.

<sigh>  I miss it.  <hugs>

I know, I know.... Just another crazy looney resurrecting some old thread...

Recently I have become keenly interested especially in Deep Space Nine. (Started collecting DVDs etc) and I'm perfectly allowed to change my mind regarding which series is my favourite so there!

I have some questions for anyone who can answer. May sound silly, but I'm gonna ask them anyway.

1. How do people who don't earn money still manage to gamble and buy booze?

2. If the waste extraction system breaks down mollecules, and replicators put together mollecules, does that mean that people are eating recycled poo?

* I had one more question, but forgot what it was. *

Having fun collecting whole series on DVD.

LOL

I like "To boldly split infinitives that have never been split before" (from the radio show of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)

Patrick Stewart had a really good interview on "The Kumars at No. 42" See that?

I remembered!

Can someone please tell me, how do stardates work?? Is there an easy way to tell if something happens a day, a month, a year later?

Cool. Thanks.

Uh huh.

There's some others I reckon too (a bit).

I don't reckon Enterprise sucks. It's not my favourite ST series (which is and always will be DS9) but I found the episodes I did manage to catch of Enterprise mildly diverting.

Tell you what gets me. My sister is bagging out Star Trek but I don't reckon she's ever seen a single episode.

I'm wondering actually - wouldn't mind knowing - is anyone else here on startrek.com or Trekspace or the Paramount site??

If you are on Trekspace, let's be friends!!

If not, come on over and let's be friends anyway.

Just follow the teddy.

Oh yeah and the link in case you're wondering is www.trekspace.org

hehe. That's pretty cool. You should meet my dad's friend. His last name is Enting and everyone used to call him Treebeard.

ps. Check this out.

^ Bummer.

They had some spammer trouble a while back, but it's a pretty cool bunch on there now. (Relatively few idiots.)

There's actually a couple of books by Ira Steven Behr and Armin Shimmerman that list the Rules of Acquisition.

One is "Ferengi Rules of Acquisition" (funnily enough) and another - not as comprehensive as a list but quite cute all the same because it tells a whole bunch of stories to go with each rule - is "Legends of the Ferengi".

Or you could just try Memory Alpha. Hang on I'll find a link...
