Some Questions to Spur Discussion

Maybe they were wiped out, like predicted.

2. Do you prefer Mark One Assimilation (beam you away and insert implants manually and probably surgically) or Mark Two Assimilation (inject you with nanoprobes and manufacture implants using metal from hammerspace)? As a plot device, I mean, not as the way you'd prefer to be assimilated.

Mark one, I guess.

3. Can you think of a reason why Andorians' antennae never moved in TOS? Was it bred out of the genepool, or is it a trick that only certain Andorians can do, akin to wiggling ears?

Er, I just blame that on the budget. Mostly becaus I never actually watched TOS.

4. Regardless of the way the dictionary says it, do you prefer "few-tile" or "few-till?"

Few-tile.

5. Do you think Voyager really had an aero-shuttle? Why didn't they use it? Was it in the plans but never made, or were some crucial parts going to arrive "next Tuesday" and Janeway had to leave with an incomplete ship because of the Maquis threat?

I've never heard anything about an aero-shuttle... So I guess they didn't have one.

6. Is it really reasonable that there are only X torpedoes on Voyager? Surely they can replicate casings and trade for antimatter with other spacefaring races, right?

I don't think they'd sell weapons that easily. And I guess it might take time to replicate them.

7. Would you have prefered Ro Laren to have starred on DS9 instead of Kira, as was in the original plans?

I probably would have when I watched Enterprise and no DS9, although I'm not sure Ro Laren was there yet, back then.

[QUOTE]8. Are you a Wesley/Lefler shipper?
Wesley/who now?

9. You think Captain Bateson was still in command of the Bozeman in First Contact, or was he swapping drinks with Scotty on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet?

Sounds like TOS.

10. Do you disregard all mention of lasers and lithium crystals and Vulcanians and time-warp factors in the early episodes of TOS, or do you think that they really were in a transition period in the mid-2260s?

Er...

11. Those STTMP uniforms really did stink, didn't they?

I wouldn't know.

12. You think that Commodore is still a valid rank in the 24th century?

No.

13. Should Picard have retired to serve as Commandant of Starfleet Academy and given the Enterprise to Riker a long time ago? I think so.

No. Picard, like Kirk, liked being a captain, I think.

14. You think Riker's ticked off that Janeway made Admiral before he did? They are in the same class, you know.

Probably.

15. You really think it would've been an "unheroic dead" if Soran had just shoot Kirk in the back, like it was originally shot?

Yup.

16. If there was one Trek game that Paramount decided to market in real life, which game? Taking out Fizzbin as insanely complicated, would you prefer Parrises Squares, Kalto, Anbo-jytsu, Tongo, Dabo, what?

Didn't they already market 3D-chess? I still want to know the rules to that.
