Also, Garak is one of the coolest people on DS9, next to Odo.
- thanks!Nah - in order for reaction drives to work, there must be a way for the matter to escape the shield. I figure there is a hole in the back. Or something like that.
DS9 episode "Second Sight". TNG episode "Half a Life".TheGhostOfSin post=18.53877.678708 said:
Crap, I totally went to town on this thread. Sorry guys - fell off the wagon. After abstaining for about 1500 days.
Are you refering to fiction because I called something Bullshit?Elim Garak post=18.53877.678873 said:
Bullshit means untrue or lie.
Star Trek isn't real no-matter how much you want it to be, and 'detonating supernovas' is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, bar none.
Ah, sorry - thought you were arguing about the tech. But from that perspective it is hard to say. A hundred years some people thought that no heavier than air flying vehicle will ever be created. Sixty years later we were walking on the moon. And the technological singularity is approaching.TheGhostOfSin post=18.53877.678886 said:
If we survive the singularity, who knows what will be possible?
What does 'ignighting supernovas' even mean?
Is it making a star go supernova?
Setting one on fire? (don't look at me like that, it's what it sounds like)
That's all I can think of

Am I the only one who finds this debate even more sad than Gordon Freeman vs. Master Chief? And more embarrassing too, since I can totally follow the arguments on both sides (or four sides, if you include B5 and Stargate.)
Sad? It is way past sad - it went to AWESOME! Awesome to the max!mshcherbatskaya post=18.53877.679001 said:
Seriously, it is just an excuse to do bullshit about various topics with application of physics, chemistry, and sci-fi. A step up from watching science fiction, with some science thrown into the mix.
OK, Star Trek may have some useful tech for fighting, but Star Wars is fully equipped for battle, plus Star wars has Jedis and Sith who use lightsabers and the Force, and not mention Star Wars has the Death Star. Star Wars would definitely win
Darth Vader's Apprentice (from the new force unleashed game) just starts pulling shit out of the sky with the force and crashing it into planets.
How do you even defend against that?

Trekwars Episode IVoor Data,We Hardly Knew Ye
The scene:The badly burned bridge of one USS Enterprise.Through the smoke we can make out Kirk and Picard,huddled close together and giggling like schoolgirls with a skin-mag.In the far corner Mr. Spock and Scotty(the old fat one) are puzzling over a piece of something-or-other they have lifted out of Data.Scotty furrows his brow,obviously stumped.
Scotty:"I'm afraid it will have to do.That LaForge kid put up a hell of a fight for a blind guy,and he seems to have damaged this chip when I was prying it from his dying hands.Incidentally Mr.Spock...How very unkind of ye to apply your Vulcan Death Grip to that particular part of his anatomy."
Spock:"It was logical...you had him in the 'Pretzel Move'. Anyway,he never saw it coming"
---They share a chuckle as Kirk and Picard make their way over.
Picard:"Reinsert the re-programmed memory-reproductor recapacitor and relay the..."
Kirkinterrupting) "I'LL give the orders around here,Mr. Picard...Mr Spock, put that Doo-Hickey back into that...whatever, and let's get on with our attack."
Switch to TORPEDO ROOM-Picard,Spock and Scotty are stuffing Data into a torpedo tube head-first as Kirk is rubbing his hands together with malicious glee.Data is protesting(to Spock)that this very illogical as he is the brains of the entire outfit and therefore the most valuable asset...etc...etc... Spock simply shrugs and grabs a mop-handle to aid in stuffing the recalcitrant goldbrick into the tube.
Kirk:"Prepare for firing--tube 3"
---muffled protests from the tube are cut short as Picard says "Make it so"
Kirk:"Fire the Android"
Next time: et tu? et Machina

Star Wars. I'm not a huge fan of either but the Sith and Jedi are much cooler than anything you get in Star Trek.
