Erm, yes this idea should've been drowned at birth. I'm glad someone euthanised it in time. Then again, the entire premise of Casino Royale makes me want to slap the producers.

I think any western nation can consider itself a police state, or close to one, these days. The truly sad thing is we're not doing a damned thing about it.

Since we don't have any affiliated stations here in the UK, and thus I didn't get to see the remastered Balance of Terror aired tonight would someone like to tell me how good or bad it was? :)

I wholeheartedly endorse empire building... so long as its my country doing the building. Natch. :)

Okay, from the Brit perspective, I don't think we can be accused of being trigger happpy. That implies action for its own sake, which is the very opposite of British foreign policy to date. Edit: Besides, none of this would have happened had the US not been so enthusiastic about dismantling the empire post-WW2. ;)

You're all nuts.

So... a combination of "Star Wars Empire at War" and Star Trek Armada (2?). The FPS aspect of Trek games has been severely under-used. The last real offering was Elite Force 2 and The Fallen, while there's been many more tactical management games. Grr.

What they said ^^

Problem 1: Poor, poor, poor scripting. Problem 2: Romulans acting... well, not very Romulan. Why would they give a damn how Shinzon was going to defeat the Federation? Sure you'd have the odd admiral (like Jarok from TNG: The Defector) who would have objections to all out war but on the whole they would probably have left him to it (not to say they wouldn't have killed him afterwards of course ;)). Problem 3: Data has somehow reverted to a previous stage in character development. Almost as if the previous two movies never happened. Problem 4: For the transporter to go down the console on the bridge simply had to explode. Chief O'Brien may take issue with that one eh? Or the fact that when the Scimitar went into reverse it would have simply dragged the Enterprise backwards with it - since she was exerting no counterforce! Oh, and the best one: Auto-destruct systems are off-line. WHAT? That's not possible. There had to be fusion reactors all over the ship still operating that could have been over-loaded, even if a warp core breach couldn't be initiated. Problem 5: I'm making the point again because it irked me. Scripting. Awful compared to First Contact or even a TNG episode. Moreover, it just felt like a two-part TNG episode. It just didn't feel like an epic trek movie. People have compared it to WoK - it doesn't touch WoK. That's part of the problem!

It pains me to say this, but Crusher would win. He had been to the academy, served on board the Enterprise and oh... had some strange cosmic-fate-power-thingy (see: The Traveller).

I'm going with teh klingon every time.

Breath a sigh of relief, 'tis not true at all: http://www.syfyportal.com/article.php?id=2168

Any time anyone wants to buy me a Hybrid... or any other kind of hybrid (well, maybe a roadster of some sort)... go right ahead. Hey there's an idea. Government funding for everyone to buy new hybrid cars. Discuss.

Just hope they have faster download servers than Blizzard. ;) "Honey, can we wait six hours?"

Kirk. Think how many security crewmen died over the course of his five year mission (and we only saw three!).
