  1. YouTube has a clip of a live action Thundercats deal...but I saw that quite awhile ago so not sure if that's the same thing. The style was very Power Ranger'ish.

     

    As for episodes you can try Veoh but I KNOW that In2TV has them. EDIT: Okay, I knew they HAD it...but I'm not seeing it now.


  2. ::mumbles:: I mentioned this series several months ago and the latest episode last month. Took yall long enough to take notice.

     

    And the next Star Trek guest star will be Denise Crosby. After that will be the actor who played General Martok who will be playing HARRY MUDD!!

     

    Denise Crosby's episode is titled "Blood and Fire" and is in post production and was actually a script submitted for TNG but rejected because of some homosexual themes (Kirk's nephew and some random crewman have a fling or something).

     

    If you're having problems viewing any of the episodes they are all on Veoh. Maybe not as high quality format there but you can atleast watch 'em. They're probably on YouTube also if you don't mind watching it in sliced up clips.


  3. There is a "SIM" Wiki already. http://www.simenc.com/ This, of course covers more sims than just STSF's.

     

     

    EDIT: Wow, just looked over that Wiki too. Seems there's a group that was short on ideas and they just borrowed some of our sim ideas, including a Manticore variant and a flat rip off of Aegis, including the use of one of the old proposed station designs for it's refit to "Sky Harbor". Oh well.


  4. I have been "aware" of Star Trek all my life. My mother went to the first Star Trek convention in Dallas. The first episode I remember watching was Man Trap. We were returning from vacation and we had a small portable tv. I just happened to turn it on when we were about an hour from home and there it was. It was odd cause I knew all the characters and the general plot but I realized then that this was the first episode I'd seen for myself (the local station had just taken up running it in syndication again). Me and my mother's brainwaves have always been the same and I think I just inherited her memories of Star Trek.


  5. Don't know how many people are aware of Star Trek "New Voyages". It's a fan made series that continuous where TOS left off. It's NOT a bunch of kids with a camcorder in their garage. It's real movie people volunteering their time and equipment to do this.

     

    The first 2 episodes were okay...but number 3 that just came out is...wow. I would have to rank it in the top 10 of ANY Trek episode I've seen.

     

    It's kinda hard to find the episode online right now since when everyone tried to download it their primary server crashed like a saucer section piloted by a ships counselor, but it's out there. Find it. Watch it.


  6. You have to be a high priest of mathematics to really understand it. Otherwise, you just have to take it on faith that they know what they're talking about. That's why science is a religion.

     

    I'll stick with the short answer myself, God did it, and let the scientist keep guessing how he did it.


  7. Okay, been running around Second Life while on vacation and it's interesting. If you could find the right people with the skills and time you could build an interesting sim. Note, "sim" in SL jargon means an area of land or something. Found you need a good connection for it to run smoothly. My in-law's DSL was not quite up to a clean performance. Same laptop at home is working alot better on my DSL.

     

    There is a Star Trek museum in SL with a TOS bridge replica. (There are also SG1 style stargates, which were pretty cool).

     

    Like I mentioned before, it seems SL would be a good place for a promenade type setting and maybe to be used for recruiting simmers.

     

    Oh, and it could also be used just to make character avatars.

  8. I'm trying Second Life. Currently doing it from my laptop since I'm on vacation and while I don't lag at all...the graphics are well outta wack. My avatar is running around most of the time with wild bald spots and covered in random textures from *somewhere* else. So, apparently my avatar is on LSD.

     

    SL has the ability to provide a simming enviroment. It may just take a leep of imagination. For a game currently played in a chat room and in your own head, it's sad to say that may be too hard for some.

     

    I'm a little concurned at the seemingly myopic perspective on this though. Just cause maybe one sim might try this setting doesn't mean ALL the sims MUST change formats. For going boldly and exploring new worlds... some seem happy to sit in your well defined trenches. I think STSF is one of the few or only simming groups to sim in one and only one format. Even small groups usually have atleast one email sim.

     

    Anyway, where I think SL could be great is in a promenade setting. Someone go in, build a starbase, and let people just relax, talk, sim, whatever is a virtual Trek setting. Throw up a few posters with links to STSF and see what happens.


  9. All these discussions about Stargate and Farscape and Enterprise makes me think about Babylon-5 again. I notice that a lot of people use B-5 quotes in their signature blocks and wanted to see if you had a favorite quote from that wrongly-cancelled television masterpiece.

     

    My understanding B5 ran it's course, it wasn't cancelled. Now the Crusade spin off thing, that stunk and lasted longer than it should have. Usually I want to know how even a bad show resolved it's running issues...but with Crusade, nope..don't care...let Earth die... less painful than having to watch this mess.

     

    As for quotes, I know I liked the show and it's many one liners but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Have to look an episode or two up on In2TV.
