It is not just females that have boobs. In fact some non-females are boobs.

Suspension of disbelief is a powerful concept :-) Having fun watching Star Trek (or Tom & Jerry, or Hannah Montana by the way) doesn't imply that we believe it's going to happen, nor that it's even remotely possible, let alone desirable. I myself believe humans will never manage to escape Earth (which itself may be the only sentient-life-carrying-planet in the local cluster.) I nevertheless enjoyed watching the movie.

I love watching Tom and Jerry, Pinky and the Brain is however my favourite. I agree with you that the movie has great entertainment value. It's just that our 'delusions of grandeur' make the plot a bit long in the tooth as it is always the same; Humans battle the aliens and the humans win. The only reason that I would watch a movie like Star Trek is for the special effects and cinematography. If Hollywood (or any other movie mecca) brings out a Sci-Fi movie with an original and thought provoking plot then I'll be first in line to watch it. -"......doesn't imply that we believe it's going to happen, nor that it's even remotely possible, let alone desirable."- We should ask the people that started and/or belong to organizations such as 'The Klingon Language Institute' or the 'Jedi Church' if they agree with the above statement. 390000 People listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census for England and Wales(according to Weekly World News).:omg: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: May the Farce be with you. :)

I used to watch Star Trek as kid and I loved it. Now I can't stop wondering at how stupid the whole concept is. Sci-Fi perse is not stupid, it is rather thought provoking and IMHO it actually contributes to the advancement of technology. Didn't Einstein once say “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” What pisses me off about the sci-fi genre is that we (humans) assume that we will rule the universe, that we will have technology that in one way or another will beat the extraterrestrial technologies and that sort of mambo jambo. According to the law of probability the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence is not only probable but likely. This means that some of these UFO sightings that we hear about are probably real. This would suggest that the ET civilization already have technology that is so advanced that it allows them to travel between solar systems (according to our knowledge, other then us, there is no intelligent life in our solar system). We can't even manage to land a crew on Mars due to the long distance. If our technology continues to develop at the current rate we are still decades away of creating an interplanetary travel system nevermind inter-stellar. Assuming that the alien technologies advance at the same rate then ours we will never catch up to them. Thus we will never beat them at anything.

The problem with a movie where the human race loses and is wiped from this side of the universe is that it precludes the possibility of a sequel. I know that Star TWraerks solved this by inventing the prequel, but anyway big studios like big certitudes. BTW, how do you say "may the Force be with you" in Klingon ?

'May the Force be with you' in Klingon, hmmm, let me think..... Give me couple of minutes, I'll have to go to the crapper to figure that one out. I've got it, it goes something like this. Nnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhh, Nnnnnnnhhhhhhhhh, aaaaaarggggghhhhh, Oooooooohhhhhhhhhh..... :laugh:

There have been similar experiences in various US cities - big money losses until commercial films get inserted into the mix. Even the Tuttleman Omniverse at the Ben Franklin Institute in Philadelphia has learned its lesson - that's where I saw "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" :laugh:

You really have to read more SF. In particular, Gregory Benford, David Brin, and Greg Bear all wrote series in the '90s in which humans were nowhere near the top of the galactic (or multi-galactic or universal) food-chain.

Consider Larry Niven's Kzinti, Protectors, and thrint. Consider Saberhagen's Berserkers. Consider Benford's machine intelligences. Consider Dan Simmmon's quantum-space beings. Consider Heinlein's "Have Space Suit, Will Travel" and "By His Bootstraps". In Star Trek itself, consider the Q Continuum. Sci-fi abounds with stories in which man is not only not alone, but is in the company of beings who consider mankind, at best, as we consider a dog: sometimes useful, sometimes vermin, sometimes food, sometimes just completely irrelevant and unnoticed. Go to your library and see what it contains in the sci-fi shelves, and wonder...

After watching the new Star Trek movie I went to a squib bar and picked a fight. After having my nose broken I wasn't invited to the academy by a respected commander. What did I do wrong?

What level is the quest? was this a party quest? maybe your missing a pre-req to the quest. to bad you can't drop it and then try the quest again. You could always lfg, get a tank and a healer and go back in to the Bar for round 2. Hopefuly your damage output is enough. Try drinking more. You could always cheat and Reroll a Klingon.
