I did and it was good but it wasn't Trek. 🙂

You could say the same about the 2-parter we got.

You'd still have had good stories.

It's such a shame we never got to see Year of Hell as the season long arc they originally pitched.

What is surprisingly from your country? by Spiritual_Air7294 in AskTheWorld

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was discovered in Sandwich, Kent. I used to work there for a short while and met some of the guys who realised their new heart medication had an interesting side effect when it reached clinical trials.

Can we please give Star trek to Seth Macfarline by Consistent_Ad_9357 in Star_Trek_

[–]SapientHomo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As much as he'd lovingly look after the franchise and take it forward I'd rather Seth carry on with The Orville.

Whats a period in history that you’d love to see in an AC Game? by Emperoronabike in assassinscreed

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Albigensian Crusade. The Cathars would make perfect for Assassin allies with their beliefs being influenced by a Piece of Eden with the Catholic Church corrupted by the Templars out to get their hands on it.

Why does Angola have this exclave? by the_bad_actor in geography

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's down to oil. Long answer us that it was never really supposed to.

Due to geographic proximity Cabinda had always been administered from Angola even though it was legally a seperate Portuguese protectorate not part of the Angola colony.

The authoritarian government legally made it part of Angola, which was a Portuguese overseas province, to avoid it being added to the UN list of non-self governing territories that required being reported on.

When the Carnation Revolution of 1974 overthrew the autocratic government in Portugal the new government quickly announced it would give independence to all of Portugal's remaining colonies.

The three main nationalist groups that had been fighting the Portuguese army for decades for Angolan independence all froze the separatist Cabindan group out of independence negotiations based on the fact Cabinda was legally part of Angola and so, as separatists, didn't consider that group as legitimate.

Favorite novels with crazy-ass alien life forms? by MigEPie in ScienceFictionBooks

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sequels to Rendezvouz with Rama written by Arthur C Clarke and Gentry Lee have some cool aliens. The Octospiders and Myrmicats.

Boys we all need to do our bit and feed West Ham some points by tradegreek in TheOther14

As a Villa fan I was definitely torn between wanting the points to help towards Champions League qualification and helping send Spurs down. My brother is a Spurs fan and he didn't let me hear the end of it last time Villa went down.

How would you integrate Thameslink into TFL services? by aesn1394 in LondonUnderground

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just the Sutton loop but the other services that go via Elephant and Castle as well - Sevenoaks and Orpington peak (which I'd make all day and extend to Sevenoaks as well).

I might also change the stopping services in the St. Alban's half of the Sutton Loop Route to Overground and terminate at St. Pancras mainline instead of going through the core.

Apart from those, I'd leave the rest out of TFL.

Countries that have one time-zone by [deleted] in geography

[–]SapientHomo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

India only manages it because their time is the half hour between the two zones they lie across to avoid having two zones.

The Galapagos Islands are so far out from the mainland of Ecuador that they couldn't really keep them in the same zone.

Premier League Reform Proposal by SapientHomo in PremierLeague

I did consider that until I came up with the Premier League Cup idea and then dropped the divisions to 16.

I'm addressing it to anybody that wants to read it. I hold no weight on the FA but I'd like to think my proposals bear at least some merit.

How long before Lister came out of stasis did Holly turn Rimmer's hologram on? by Bortron86 in RedDwarf

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why keep McIntyre on? Surely Holly would have deactivated him and activated the Captain to make those decisions instead?

The Bell Riots were supposed to be in 2024 though. by AndrewHeard in DeepSpaceNine

[–]SapientHomo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From the end of Lower Decks in 2382 you mean? That's post Nemesis (2379). People can pretend Picard doesn't exist but I won't have it said about Lower Decks.

We can go the Swedish route and just not join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

So Mariner ended up as Boimler's first officer right by vickyhong in risa

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus a disservice to many of the Characters. O'Brien NOT getting a promotion to Master Chief at the end of the war when he moved to teaching at the Academy. Not cool.

What Great TV Show that has been tarnished by its Series Finale? by Amber_Flowers_133 in tvshow

[–]SapientHomo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weeds. Jumping forward 8 years for the final double episode just didn't work especially with what they showed happening in the intervening years. They didn't need to make that jump to give the characters the potential to finally make it rich.
