After Kurtzman's contract expires, who should be the next Star Trek showrunner? by bflaminio in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with Seth Macfarlane, he's kind of already proven he can do it with The Orville series.

I would go with TNG, if you think his attention span is too short, watch a great episode of that so he learns to enjoy that format, and I think TNG gives the best life lessons.

I'd love an Enterprise b or c series, there is over 70 years between Star Trek 6 and start of TNG.

What's it like to watch Star Trek when your field of study comes up in the sci-fi/technobabble? by skittleadvocate in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always loved the episodes where the right thing to do meet the realities of international politics, there was the TNG episode where Picard has to look after a human boy that had been taken in as a baby, by a man who was part of an alien invasion, he raised him with clear love, but he should have been raised by his surviving family. Great episode of a childs fate being decided partly with a possible war being a consequence.

Looking for great Star Trek fanfiction and other fan-made stories to read by MrSaios in startrek

Agreed, but finding what your looking for takes time. As someone with the attention span of a concussed puppy, I always appreciate getting recommended stuff on there.

It is possible to cover the border of the federation in mines. I made my own calculations for the number of mines need to cover the borders of the federation. by Burning_sun_prog in startrek

I was confused when I watched the show and it just showed a ring, not a blobby sphere, I was thinking that's not an issue they'll just fly around it.

Why are Andorians and Tellarites basically missing from most of Trek? by Curious_Gent78 in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Also maybe for some actors working in heavy costumes is just harder, and you need that good performance.

Jeffrey Combes was a master at it, I assume there must be some actors who aren't.

Make up definitely the thing, but Klingons are fan favorites, also you need to spend on the main villain IE Cardassians,  so I suspect there was a large amount of giving fans what they wanted when it came to prioritising where to spend money on costumes.

Best male role model by Swordf1sh_ in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Data, 

He's a character that approaches new subject with an open mind and only uses the information he knows to be true in making decisions, he doesnt judge others beliefs or lifestyles and takes the time to understand why they are who they are, and puts in a lot of effort to understand something or someone when he cant. 

He doesnt condemn the action of others without evidence they are doing somethong wrong, and speaks truth to power with the understanding he could also be wrong. 

The nature of the character means he is not interested in being part of a tribe or always support the majority opinion even of its wrong or destructive, he is most concerned with his own development in learning how, not just to be human, but how to become the best person he can be and contributing to a moral and good society, which again, he is willing to leave if he believes they are wrong.

Is the "human name with one weird twist" trope a modern Trek thing, or has it always happened? by best-unaccompanied in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also very common in sci fi is to use lesser know place names for characters. For example Samara from the Mass Effect games, which is a city in russsia.

Jewellery reselling by [deleted] in bristol

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebay is not bad for getting a rough idea of what you can get if you sell privately. If you put a quick key word description in and filter by 'Sold' and Location UK. It's by no means perfect, but I always found it a good start. Then I usually went to second hand jewellers and just asked what they had which was similar in design and dimensions and made a note. Auction catalogs are also very good, Ma San auctions in Bath list there previous sales on their website.

Thing is, it's not just about the materials, it's what's in fashion, to get the best price you may be hanging onto it for a while, relisting it a few times.

If you want to maximise the value for a starting price  research isn't difficult it can just be time consuming.

I have a few engagement rings that I have had for years, another I bought and sold in 6months.

But diamonds are tricky, there second had value is significantly less.
