It's a TV show, and ultimately what aired is not the vision of Roddenberry or even the show's writers, it's the vision of the producers who had to make sure the show would fit in the bounds of the budget and time allotments and ultimately the goal was to keep viewers interested long enough to watch commercials, not to push the bounds of science with revolutionary ideas. If I had to bet on what was more important during the filming of the episode in question: whether the science fiction is factual enough to suspend disbelief or whether the bagels on set are fresh today, my money is on the bagels. |

This particular idea can't potentially be. --- End quote --- This is why I laugh. For being a person of "real science" that response is so close minded. Science thrives on being disproven. If this idea can't possibly be, why has NASA and Space agencies across the globe putting money and time in researching it? Check out things like the Tanpopo Mission. While you are at it, watch the Hospital scene from Star Trek 4, which is a great metaphor for my entire point. As for Howards point, it was perfectly on topic, he gets it. |

I dunno...the series would be pretty boring if every episode was "stardate 40246.5 we have left the Gamma Fallopian system after looking for signs of life...nothing found yet" *rolls credits* accuracy or interesting story pick one. :dunno we had our fair share of tribbles and dog dressed up as "aliens" not so good Gene. |

I've never seen Star Trek Discovery but was able to grok Howard's point about the transporter. :dunno |

Fair enough, I didn't watch Enterprise, so I don't know. :) --- Quote from: leapinlew on August 11, 2018, 10:25:08 am --- --- Quote from: saint on August 09, 2018, 03:43:19 pm ---The only bad Trek was Voyager. There, I said it. I feel better. --- End quote --- Are you willing to go on record as saying Voyager is worse than Enterprise? --- End quote --- Fair enough, I didn't watch Enterprise, so I don't know. :) |
