That owned and everyone who's like "duh but why would they side with aliums they aren't blonde or blue eyed" is forgetting how the nazis conveniently shifted what they counted as close enough to aryan based on whoever was willing to side with the Axis.

I dont care what species they are, dead nazis are a positive addition to any media :colbert:

Would you like to play a game?



There was a lot of stuff that was never really explained. They teased the mysterious Future Guy for multiple seasons and then never explained what his deal was. Apparently the plan was for him to be a future version of Archer, maybe from a different timeline. I'm just glad that they concluded that arc so we didn't have to deal with its nonsense for the entire show's run.

I mean, if STO is canon, then every time you make a new purple cat person for your erotic grey dumpster role-play, does that count? Like, more than the novels?

I wasn't talking about canon, I was just bringing up that 'this was how STO explained that.'

the storyline events are soft canon, i.e. canon until otherwise contradicted by the primary sources (film & tv)

in other words, until they make a tv show about it, that is what caused the hobus explosions

Why can't the overarching story line in star trek online be cannon without everyone's characters actually having an effect on anything.

I'd honestly rather not play the game than play the ground segments.

Star Trek Online is incredibly, unbelievably stupid and features idiotic garbage at every turn, including boring ground combat

and I'd STILL play it then watch Enterprise.

I'm just working with what I got, anything that could destroy an entire galaxy is ludicrous. And firing a black hole at the supernova because it can stop it is even more ludicrous. But who's to say that two totally moronic things can't cancel out and then make perfect sense?

At least Michael Bay is honest about his movies. JJ tries to pretend that he's making high art and that his nose doesn't look like a circumcised penis.

LMAO. Well played, Enterprise.

I was reading up on the Borg the other day and love that the Kazon are such a trash species that the Borg didn't want to assimilate them. They're so lovely that adding them would actually reduce the Collective's combined intelligence. I like to think they assimilated exactly ONE Kazon just so they could tick them off in their Galactic Species Pokédex, and felt dirty about even that.

Transformers is slowly turning into that. At some point, humans are going to get the tech to travel beyond Earth from the Autobots so they can continue their fight against Megatron.

The subspace thing isn't the worst bit of technobabble I've ever heard. Most of the shows mention how subspace weapons would be bad at one point or another. And doesn't TNG have an episode where there is some sort of subspace wave thing threatening a planet? I know Enterprise did an episode like that.

It was, and then they got defeated somehow, and out of the bushes leapt another bad guy using time travel to gently caress with the Enterprise.

"While Archer took a team to stop the weapon, Enterprise targeted the primary sphere in the network, Sphere 41. The sphere was protected by a large trans-dimensional disturbance, and once Enterprise entered nine Sphere-Builders boarded and attacked it directly. Nevertheless, they failed to prevent Enterprise from disabling an interspatial manifold on the sphere's surface with a deflector pulse. This resulted in a chain reaction that destroyed the entire sphere network, causing the Delphic Expanse to dissipate and forcing the Sphere-Builders to retreat to their native realm."

Oh, yeah, that... uh, sounds pretty... climactic...
