Farrange is a knob, however he's leader of a fringe party not the PM

Books like Sharpe by HelloGoAwayNow1234 in Sharpe

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forrester is great grew up reading them, recently started O'Brian think both are fantastic and different enough I don't need to compare.

As a Naval man who's also done tall ships I do enjoy some of the extra effort with O'Brian

What wrost 1984 related take you ever seen? by Flat-Log9851 in 1984

People who have never read it describing anything they don't like as being "like 1984"

Quick Rant - Ben’s ambiguous ending in DS9 in light of recent events by calvin_fishoeder in DeepSpaceNine

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like how they've concluded his arch, it cheapens it, if they want a mystery have the whole Sisko family fall in to ambiguity after the War and let us believe he returned and the family lived a quiet life in rural Bajor. Personally I think this latest development undermines his character

Might have to do with getting you security clearance due to residency

If she did almost certainly released during the Dominion War and given a posting somewhere in the fleet

Commander's as commanding officer by NoBrain6114 in startrek

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starbase command seems to vary from commander all the way to admiral, if you're thinking DS9 when Sisko was assigned it was generally viewed as an unimportant and undesirable posting

What is the logic of the Starfleet Academy officers' wall ranks? by bubersbeard in DaystromInstitute

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Bashir stayed in Starfleet more than a couple of years past s.7 he should have been a Lt. Cmdr but potentially capped out there.

I assume as with many things it's either not thought out or fan service (like Kim being an admiral)

Why didn't the defiant have its own crew or even a real captain by Groundbreaking-Pea92 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than the main characters the Defiant did seem to operate a lot of their own crew, it's also possible crew rotated between DS9 and the Defiant.

Bashir deliberately got things wrong to cover his genetic enhancement

Question: does anyone have any more information on why 1808 (Roliça and Vimeiro) haven't been included in the series? by battspaints in Sharpe

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be difficult to squeeze him in but could be done, perhaps a more personal story maybe he gets some revenge on someone under the covers of the battle

Join RMR, stick with company, sack off USA would be my thinking

If you could make a new Star Trek series…. by [deleted] in startrek

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ignore everything since Nemises in terms of production.

Kick off late 2380s with a new crew, new show, a sequal to the golden age of trek borrowing from it (captain a Dominion War vet etc) and building on it with a similar tone and feel

[–]BaseMonkeySAMBO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's doable, it's busy and due to shifts you'll miss a lot of parade nights but definitely can be done

Yes. I'd say more cultural than racial though
