For Star Trek fans: What order would you place these series in order of how interesting they were? TOS, NG, Voyager, DS9, Enterprise? Enterprise, DS9, Voyager, TNG, TOS...From my standpoint, Enterprise got more deeply than ever into the tough moral issues and personal cost of dealing with the same. That was the hook there.

CBS owns the rights to the "old" timeline (all the series and previous movies exist in), while Paramount has the right to the "new" timeline--that of the latest film. Due to agreements CBS COULDN'T put on a show till 2012 or so, but in this economic climate, with SciFi so expensive to produce and having a particular audience, they may have no reason to consider bringing back Star Trek even...

In star trek, they can beam you up or down. They can travel the stars in very short amounts of time. Stun you with a Phaser and tell if there is life on a planet without ever stepping foot on it. So why haven't they figured out seat belts? They've figured out what's more visually interesting on screen. They haven't always figured out that you can't "hear" the next ship over exploding.

"SPOCK" is "a Vulcan from Vulcan." Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that he is a "Vulcanite" or a "Vulcanian" from Vulcan? You can't be a "Mars from Mars" or an "Earth from Earth," can you? So, why are the people from Vulcan, Vulcans? Sandman beat me to it: Spock was once called Vulcanian. 'Course it's not what Vulcans should be calling themSELVES--Vulcan and Romulan coming from Earth myth and all. Romulans called themselves Rihanissu, which is why it was so odd when Hoshi (Enterprise) mispronounces "Romulan" T'Pol corrects her--so much for the Earth origin of the common names.

On Criminal Minds why does Agent Gideon go Missing? It was like he decided he didn't want to live out his life exposed to the kinds of crime he saw every day. But he did leave Reid a nice, personal note that, while it didn't explain everything, gave us some insight on where his head was at (still holding it together). I read that Mandy Patinkin wanted to leave because he thought the show was sensationalizing violence for ratings.

My husband is the HOA president. We have a homeowner who is 3 months behind on their dues. We gave them 30 days notice to pay and no payment has been paid. What legal action can we take to force them to pay? You can place a lien at your local Register of Deeds; the idea is that a lien would prevent them from mortgaging or selling. If you are a Condo, the laws are typically written (here in Mich) that you can Foreclose (similar to a bank foreclosing on a Mtg) on their unit. Then you'd have a unit to sell. Consult a lawyer, but you can add the lawyer fees onto the lien.

Are there similiarities between the movie series, "Lord of the Rings" and the four epic operas "Rings of the Nibelung"?

I may have been too harsh. But what do you say to a friend who tells you he is gay? Tell him you're still friends. Real friends are rare and more important than orientation, and perhaps he's gonna need some right about now. Ten years from now, if you're still good friends, you'll realize what a small part of the equation this ended up being and wonder what the big deal was! He's your friend first of all, everything else comes after.

Answer to:
If we the people were given free will from God, how could he give us free will without giving us evil? Evil (absence from God) was already there, in some minute form. Free will gave us the choice to let it into the world. Now the world is essentially evil-ridden because we chose it that way, but each individual has the opportunity to reject evil in their lives and in the influence they have on the world.

It's been scientifically proven through controlled social experiments that you do nothing while drunk that you aren't secretly willing to do while sober. You don't compromise your innermost beliefs, and if you believe deep inside, for example, that you're entitled to rape someone, only such people will do it while drunk.

I am thinking of eating only fruits and raw veggies for a couple of weeks in order to lose weight ,if i do is it true that i will get so bloated and not lose fat Vegetarians carefully balance different kinds of beans and rice for the protein portion. The others are correct: don't spend too long on this "fast". Bear in mind that many people, when their fat intake nears zero, go off the deep end emotionally! bananas help that mood dive a bit, but can't completely compensate; your body needs SOME fat for your brain to function.

Why do some women comment to their lady friends about how ugly a man is, without regard to the fact that he is within hearing range? Don't women realize that us ugly men have feelings and EARS?

Then I winced and felt stupid cause I meant US money--but that's how she understood it, anyway, and they did.

SOME air disturbances are interpreted by SOME living creatures as "sound", but otherwise "sound" is an arbitrary truncating of a larger range of phenomena.

My wife can't distinguish the Korean alphabet characters from Chinese characters or from the Japanese alphabets. I find this shocking. Can you? It's not shocking.

Two years ago I was prescribed Seroquel to help me sleep. I've been having problems again and still have pills leftover. Are they safe to take or is there an expiration date? it won't be dangerous. it will probably work for some time after the expiration date, as well. I switched to taking it only some times and ended up with quite a bit left over to stretch out over a year or two. the strange thing is (and this is ONLY with my doctor's approval) it turns out to work for me even taken only when needed.

My friends are always comparing girls to each other saying ''oh, she's prettier.'' I used to do that too, but now I want to see everyone as equally beautiful - there is no such thing as prettier to me. Is this better than comparing others? Of course there are some universal standards that tell us procreation relies on certain cues about what's attractive, but that hardly accounts for personal taste. You're going to have a much richer, more exciting life if you start doing this right now: making up your OWN mind about what's beautiful instead of letting your friends, TV, advertising, what-have-you TELL you what you...

Is there any real benefit from trying to bring science and religion together? If yes, what? They're already together, humans just don't know enough to understand it yet. Or as Angels & Demons concludes (just saw it), it shouldn't be brought together to contrast & separate, but to unite and to perpetuate the human need to grow intellectually and to debate in a healthy way, but always with the caveat "be gentle with each other."

My teacher has told me that people will be more accepting to people who are homosexual in the future, in that true? Man's reason is a double-edged sword. What sets us aside from animals is our ability to categorize and attempt to improve. We go too far when we turn that impulse into judgement and a foolish rejection of anything that doesn't fit into our fabricated system of correctness. At some point our "improvements" damage the natural world; we aren't as smart as we think. ...

If you could be an angel, what sort would you be? Who would you watch out for? What guidance would you lend? I'd LIKE the glory of St Michael, the warrior angel who kicks a$$, but that's not a noble aspiration. I'm more like the Grigori, the Watchers, in nature, but if I were honest I could work at it and be one of the Messengers, those who travel in two worlds and belong to neither.

You can be good in only one, or none, or in a whole bunch of them at once--any combo is possible. Things like creativity & eccentricity & logic and so on.

Not Muslim, but I have the freakish ability to know exactly what direction everything in the world is at any given moment (or the pathological need to know). Even when I dream I always know which way is north or west or whatever.

What do you think of pink for girls and blue for boys? Do you view it as society trying to mold people from an early age? there was a study that put little girls in a blue sleeper and little boys in a pink one, and strangers interacted with the colors COMPLETELY differently, regardless of the gender of the baby. so yeh, a baby boy in pink is gonna experience the world WAY differently, and vice-versa, probably to the detriment of both. (neither are given the complete range of possibilities to grow into.)

What is the difference between the Romulans and the Vulcans? Although related (which was once a long-kept secret), Romulans are secretive, volatile, treacherous & self-serving.

What movies have you enjoyed that are allegorical with deeper symbolism? not my favorite movie, but HOOK was more a sequel to the book than any more popular version of Peter Pan: rife with Jungian overtones (falling backwards through his life, into the water, past the mermaids of adolescence, all the way back to when he was Pan). Also the idea that in a backwards, perverse world the men are all pirates and the women are all prostitutes. Wendy's father was...

Who aggrees with me that Star Trek is MUCH better then Star Wars? Which is better because this stupid girl next to me is asking me to also ask that. APPLES & ORANGES - don't ask me to choose. Star Trek was character-oriented; Star Wars was more Brechtian, concerned with archetypes and broad plot arcs. OldCW deftly analyzed the considerable impact of Star Trek, and I'd like to add how it helped propel public attitude in the space race of the 60's.

Last night I was watching "All in the Family" reruns. The show always just makes me laugh because of how politically incorrect it is. Could a new show like that survive in today's overly sensitive politically correct world? It actually WAS politically correct; it was SATIRE. It purported to take the opposite view of the world, in the form of Archie Bunker, in order to take the ridiculousness of bigotry through to its logical end, thus exposing it (giving it enough rope to hang itself). People won't respond if you preach to them about how bad they are. But they can laugh at Archie Bunker, safe in the...

One of the purposes of going to College is to be exposed to a variety of ideas..stretch your mind/brain...widen/broaden your world.

Many who haven't been to college perversely think there's something to fear from higher education--"indoctrination". But college doesn't teach you viewpoints, and FACTS you can get anywhere.

Does the natural scent of your s/o turn you on? There is a theory of thought that we on some level choose our partners because of their scent and that their scent relates to their state of health..thus ensuring viable progeny. I've heard this and know it must be true, and it kind of sucks: I met a really cool guy in London, and we had all these shared interests & he was funny & all that usual stuff, but something about his "smell" (not even a bad smell) told me we weren't chemically compatible. I just couldn't make it happen. Has anyone gotten beyond that in a relationship?

Why do we listen to music that's sad when we are already in a depressing mood? I always used to listen to Neil Diamond's Song Sung Blue whenever I was home sick from school. That was the only time I ever listened to it (because it reminded me of being sick). Albinoni's Adagio in G minor is an incredible musical expression of sadness verging on despair, but not wimpy. It's a great atmospheric ride to try sometime, anyway.

I know Discovery channel is educational. They aired a tribal show. The tribal women breasts were bare and the men were very close to being nude. Should children watch these types of programs? I don't see why older children shouldn't watch it. In the West, people are objectified precisely BECAUSE all nudity = sex. With these documentaries you learn to see people as people first. Besides, is the nudity harming the kids actually IN that society? Just a matter of what you're used to. Why do you want your kids conditioned to seeing nudity and automatically thinking...

Why do you think the creator of "Star Trek" envisions a universe not having robots performing every basic function like that in "Star Wars"? even though Roddenberry chose a science fiction setting for his show, he was actually more backwards-looking: his "wagon train to the stars" had more in common with action western heroes and less to do with modern tech. including robots. but of course Trekverse evolved and fulfilled the true sci-fi call to allegorize and analyze human society and psychology and morality.
