I always thought it was really bad writing when every other week the holodeck was responsible for almost destroying the ship, especially on Voyager. If I was a Starfleet Captain the first thing I would do is have the holodecks physically removed from my ship. The next thing I would do is tell my tactical officer to raise shields and fire at will in any combat situation. Starfleet protocol seems to be to sit nose to nose with an enemy vessel and let them pound your shields to about 50 percent before contemplating a counter attack. All that being said, I still love Star Trek. I would rather see Kirk, Spock, and McCoy sing row, row, row your boat, Or the TNG cast playing poker a thousand times than watch 1 CGI space battle. That is why I like Star Wars, but don't love it. |

Yeah. I never watched much Dr. Who. When I was a kid my friend had a bunch of black and white episodes on VHS. I always wondered why the bad guys or the good guys didn't just shoot the Dr. or bludgeon him to death. |

Holodecks were a bigger threat than the Borg. |

I watched through much of the modern Doctor Who with my wife, we kicked the show with the about 2/3rds the way through the angry Scottish doctor. The arc of later David Tennant to early Matt Smith were good. Most companions sucked, IMO. Amy Pond and River Song were the highlights. I admit, there is something refreshing about a show that pretty much openly acknowledges that just about everything in standard sci-fi is a bunch of made up mcguffins and they can bend solutions to the current need at a whim, so why bother trying to build a canon - just make something fun and character driven. That said I felt the show got very old when the character elements were lacking, you were stuck with the same 2-3 people and no amount of writing can save you from that. |
