Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

This will be hard to believe when I say that I was not trying to bait anyone, when I say now that in order to give a proper response to the question posed, it will have to wait till I get off work this evening (... so when are you going to retire?....) Plan is 11/30/2025. Sooner if I get too POed. ...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

My six movie collection just arrived a little bit ago. Right now I am in the thick of my annual watching of select horror and supernatural themed movies in the run up to Halloween, so I’m not sure how quickly I will watch the Star Trek movies. However, I did do a quick opening and flip through of th...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Leave it to the psychologist among us to name-check the Mandela Effect, LOL. But no, I'm sure Val is correct that he saw a TV edit where they cut out more to stuff in more commercials. For TV shows that are made for commercial TV with commercial breaks structured into it, when reshown as repeats and...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I also never really bought the theory of the Borg being the origins of V'ger, for the reason you mentioned. I'd be much happier with the idea that the union of Decker with Ilia/V'ger was the origin of the Borg! However, I think it has been established that the Borg already existed by the time "...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I just did a quick check and I can confirm for you at least that Kirk's "Oh my God!" line is indeed cut from the DC but is present in the TC and the SLV. So at least your memory is not playing you foul on that score. Thinking back, I may have seen some stills of the memory wall at one time...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I don’t believe the memory wall scene was ever actually filmed. It was cut before filming because it would’ve been fantastically expensive and they didn’t really think it worked story wise anyway. As for the third Klingon ship, I believe I realized last night that the destruction of only two were sh...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

OK I just did some checking, comparing the scene where the alert goes off just before the enterprise is about to be drawn into Vejur. The klaxon is identical in the special longer version and the theatrical version, and both include the voice. In the directors cut, there is no voice and it’s an upda...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Now I have to retract some of my praise of Paramount. I just found out they are releasing ST: Prodigy on BD in the next few months...but it's only the first half-season! This show's first season was split into two segments by Paramount+ and so far 10 episodes have aired (with the most recent being i...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I do, but for what I paid for this, the extras should include a lock of Nimoy’s hair instead of a cheesy sticker! You should have sent in more box tops. LOL, smartypants. Back in the olden days when studios actually wanted to sell physical product and encourage customers to buy it, most had some so...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

So, I received my ST:TMP "The Complete Adventure" set today. Not sure when I'll dive into it. Someone posted an unboxing video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne0R0i3kfTU I have to say, I could do without the bumper stickers and things like that. Those are very low on the food ...

Re: Congratulations!

Yeah, I am at four seasons kind of guy also. And although I wouldn’t mind to visit someplace like Hawaii, I don’t think I’d want to live there. For one thing, I’ve heard the cost-of-living is astronomical, because everything other than pork and pineapples has to be imported from the mainland. I’ve l...

Re: R.I.P. Nichelle Nichols

We have lost our beloved Nichelle, but now she is free to go Beyond Antares or wherever she wants to go. And the choir of Heaven sounds so much sweeter, with their brilliant new soloist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0b5E_-2uNs I would strongly encourage anyone who has not seen the Nichols bio Wo...

Re: Congratulations!

Ahem... I do believe that aside from retiring immediately, you could at the very *least* cover the domain name and server fees for the forum for the rest of your life? Yes? No? :laugh: :huh: :club: I'm trying to remember Zephram Cochrane's line about why he invented warp drive, so he could retire t...

Re: Congratulations!

You do know, I repeat, You Do Know that I was just kidding, right? (I hope you knew as otherwise I would fear some mental slippage taking hold :O) Of course, duh. Our site's emojis are a little awkward to use even on a desktop, and I didn't even try on my phone. Thus, I guess you fell victim to my ...

Re: Congratulations!

Well, Olorin.... I just read the news! :jump: So you can retire right now !... Post haste! Any other immediate plans (besides meeting with your financial advisor)? And I hope that you will * ahem* not forget your less fortunate, yet nonetheless loyal, longtime friends here on UCForums :inlove: It t...

Re: Robot goes rogue

I guess one morale of the story is, if you're in the vicinity of a large industrial robot with "fingers" designed to grip small objects (like a chess piece...or finger), watch where you put your fingers...even if it's your turn! I saw a video on YouTube a few months ago where a roboticist ...

Re: Robot goes rogue

Maybe the kid shouldn't have tried to cheat. :laugh: If he'd been a Wookie, the situation would have played out differently (bonus points to whomever gets the reference). Arms pulled off! I'd have gotten the reference under any circumstances, but I just watched Solo last night and will be watching ...
