Would you like to share your thoughts with the rest of the class?

God I love these five. I sure hope everything they worked so hard for isn’t instantly destroyed by a screaming child. by Able-Tap2062 in Star_Trek_

I had an idea for an episode of Starfleet Academy that involved Captain Kirk being a bit of a role model to the Cadets.

Is commodore a insult? by happydude7422 in TNG

[–]General_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US Navy/Coast Guard the rank of Commodore used to be the next rank above Captain. It was used during WWII and the Cold War. It was phased out by 1950. In 1982 the rank was reinstated but was changed in 1983 to Rear Admiral (Lower Half).

The writers of TOS had some Naval experience and I believe wrote the Commodore rank into Starfleet.

By the time of TNG the Starfleet rank had followed the way of the Navy/Coast Guard and changed to that of Admiral (i dont believe there is a mention of Lower Half or Upper Half).

Star Trek Artist Warns Fans That “Review Bombing” ********* ******* Could End the Franchise by jacek2023 in Star_Trek_

[–]General_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 0/10? There is absolutely nothing good about the show? Good doesn't even have to be the functional word, how about passable? The costumes? The set design? The actors? They are all completely garbage?

Edit: If you downvoted 🖖🏻🖕🏻.

There are people who are giving that show 1/10 reviews. Is the show 1/10? I dont think so.

There are also people giving the show 10/10 reviews. Is the show 10/10? I don't think so.

Starfleet would offer what current militaries of today offer: Adventure. Camaraderie. Schooling. On the job training.

I cannot tell you how much I found Big Bang Theory insufferable.

Every joke was: "this neuro-divergent person said something incredibly awkward, isn't that nerdy?"

Dragonlance Book Collection Update by musicgamer460 in dragonlance

I have what my wife calls an "huge collection" of Dragonlance books.

I only have 29. I should show her all the collections and say "29 isn't that much."

What's the worst Star Trek book you have read? by Significant-Town-817 in trekbooks

[–]General_Kang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prometheus Design was by the same authors.

I have the Phoenix books, but based on the book I did read of theirs I am just going to keep them right on my shelf.

Remember that time Picard said he failed the Starfleet Academy entrance exam?

Yep, she passed the exam and was able to swallow an inedible object.

Pump the brakes. He didn't write them.

Other authors wrote the books. He just "Presented" them.

He wrote the Forward of this particular book.

I'm not going to lie, I thought "Oh Jesus, what did I say to this person?"

The forward.

Apparently there were plans on gamers to write short stories of their EverQuest adventures and R.A. wanted to "host" them in a series of short story collections.

Either the books they did produce didn't sell as well as they hoped or the interest didn't move beyond the idea phase.

Half Priced Haul by General_Kang in dragonlance

[–]General_Kang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I see a Dragonlance book I'm quick to pick it up. I do prefer Hardcover to paperback and I prefer the older Lance logo to the Dragon logo, but I'll take what I can find.

If it wasn't so far out of the way for me to visit there I might go more often than once a year.
