I remember the first year, the first episode on the new 27” Console Color TV that we all chipped in $15 to buy at the dorm house. We had one guy who was an expert in adjusting the rabbit ears so we could see a clear picture!

Surely, StarTrek ran for more that three seasons, No?

Gotta say, I’m not anticipating this movie as much as the last, mostly because of the huge media buy to promote it. When commercials for it are running every single commercial break, you have to wonder how bad the movie stinks that they’ve got to do this.

Hopefully this will be proved wrong, but it has been my experience that when movies are pumped this heavy, it’s because no one wants to notice the stinker they’re pushing.

The thing I liked most about the first of the last Star Trek movie is that it hit the ground running and didn’t let up. It never slowed down enough to let the viewer get bored. I hope they keep it up with this one.

It would be very enlightening to many if someone created a “realistic” science fiction series about space travel.

That is, for example, to get around even our sector of space in a timely manner necessitates traveling thousands or tens of thousands of times the speed of light. Or the equivalent distance in space *outside* of space.

Anything that travels faster than the speed of light is in what could be called “tachyon space”, where the rules are very different. For example, it takes a vast amount of energy to get to the speed of light, but once over that speed, to go even faster you must *give up* energy.

So while an object at rest in our space has minimal energy, the fastest objects in tachyon space also have minimal energy. In either case, this means a speed limit for both spaces, assuming both are finite.

The slowest object in our space would have a temperature near absolute zero, as would the fastest object in tachyon space.

Isn’t having super exessive len-flare flashing all over the bridge of a Federation starship somewhat of a safty hazzard?
