He shouldn't have trusted him just 'cause the cop's last name sounded like 'Riker'.

I have heard some distressing news about Season 2. They are emulating Star Trek in a sense, where famous old series characters would make appearances in modern series to tie it all together. That always bugged the hell out of me when Spock would appear on Picards ship for example, or Riker appeared on Voyager.

Anyway, they are cashing in on the Lord Of The Rings and several of Peter Dinklage hobbit cousins from the shire will be visiting this season. And get this... Elijah Woods is confirmed. He will be "passing through the kingdom on a secret mission to destroy a powerful weapon" but wait, Sean Bean AGAIN tries to seize it.

Riker always forgets to take the coat hanger out of his uniform.

Does picard manage-troi and riker?

Fat Riker is so lucky.


See this is what I mean. QM and I may not agree on politics, but damn it if we don't agree about Troi.

Fat Riker is so lucky.

Heh, that actually has some nice moments. Action was pretty cheesy, though. Data did a good job, but seeing him fidget was pretty out of character.
It didn't seem like there were many porn scenes edited out this. Were there only 2?

The whole thing is probably feature length, judging by the size of the various rips floating around (from 700-1400 MB). This scrubbed version is 26-27 minutes. So there are probably more than two porn scenes in it. EDIT: when looking at the pairings, I see several possibilities: Riker-Troy, Geordie-Braun, Worf-whatever-her-name, Data-Tasha, and Picard-Crusher at the end.


Your assumption is correct. 2 hours long with 5 scenes that you mentioned...

Replicating weapons is not a theory. In fact, all weapons and ship are replicated except for those parts that use materials that can't be replicated (like latinum). Of course, normally there are safety lockouts that prevent you from replicating weapons, plus you would need a replication pattern.

But anyway, my point concerning the Prime Directive was that, as a Vulcan precept it is not primarily concerned with morality per se. When Spock tells Kirk that his holodeck solution is logical, he is not saying in any way that it is a "good" or "bad" solution. Spock doesn't take morality into consideration, only logic. Thus, while Kirk's solution is "logical" in light of the moral dilemma he faces (that he created for himself) it is not a situation that Spock would get himself into because Spock would not have deliberated on whether or not he must try to save the natives in the first place. And it's not like Spock doesn't have emotions. Even pure-blood Vulcans have emotions, they just shove them aside most of the time. To a Vulcan, acting on emotions invites chaos sooner or later and chaos is inherently unpredictable. Instead of trying to predict the unpredictable and play god, you decide not to interfere.

But then we kind of see the reverse with the Q for a while. They are so high-up in the food chain that they do not consider their interventions as disruptive any more than we consider our destroying of an ant colony disruptive. After all, ants as a whole will adapt and survive in one way or another. But still, even they must admit that they cannot predict what will happen to their own continuum and so they realize they can't stop themselves from evolving without losing what made them Q in the first place. Their "Prime Directive" of not artificially ascending lower lifeforms (except Riker for a while) into Q stems mostly from apathy towards non-Q things but also from self-preservation, as they cannot predict what would happen if non-evolved Q arrived en masse. Thus the same could be said of the Federation's Prime Directive, even if the self-preservation aspect is unavowed.

I tried reading that and my brain broke. Thanks a fucking lot, Riker!

Beautiful. Not a Riker fan- I can tell. He needs to embrace fuzzy, big-bear bearded Riker.

>> ^gwiz665:

Damn you, Riker-Q!!


I'm surprised no one canceled the show after the airing of that scene back in '87. Stunned, in fact.

Damn you, Riker-Q!!
