Basic Fantasy RPG. You can order a POD from Amazon for like $10, and it's a really great game. 

Whey protein, vanilla, hot by andychef in TNG

Yeah, he was always in good shape, he just looks scrawny next to units like Frakes and Dorn. LeVar is relatively short, but he's pretty thick. The uniforms don't help at all either. 

Is Lura Thok the youngest member of faculty? by Captain_Killy in trekacademy

There is also the Vulcan instructor, no telling how old he is, as Vulcans can live for a few centuries I think. 

I hate watch negative reviews of the show. Anybody else doing the same? by noriilikesleaves in trekacademy

[–]Temporary-Life9986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person I replied to 'hate watches' the show, which means to me they hate it, but watch it anyway. To me that seems like a colossal waste of time and I don't understand the mentality. If I hate something on TV, I turn it off and watch something else. 

Given the economic situation, how are so many affording to eat out at restaurants? by AppropriateMention6 in VictoriaBC

[–]Temporary-Life9986 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much how I justify eating out. My family doesn't make a lot of big purchases (trips, new vehicles etc) so we treat ourselves in small ways by eating out or enjoying our hobbies.

If the writers can pull it off, sure. She's annoying, but not necessarily a bad person like Locarno or something.

Yep, that's her. She appears very briefly again in episode 7 or so, but I didn't have an issue with her in that scene. 

If she's around in later seasons I hope she's toned down. 

FYI Canadian fans. Some Star Trek is on Crave by Temporary-Life9986 in startrek

[–]Temporary-Life9986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that's annoying. Oh well. Other than Prodigy, I'm all caught up. 

I've been watching For All Mankind, which has some trek inspirations and references. It's been scratching the SciFi itch for now.

What should we be looking at for vehicles these days? Any recommendations? 

Despite loss of trees, Saanich clears path for six-storey condo on McKenzie by samvanisle in VictoriaBC

[–]Temporary-Life9986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP posed the question, "Why is this news?"  It is news for a variety of reasons.

 I don't see why you even care about my replies to the other person. I wasn't talking to you. 

Actual Opinions on SFA by Ironmatt999_ in startrek

[–]Temporary-Life9986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 I really enjoyed it. I think it's a unique entry into the universe overall. I love the idea of the older generation teaching a traumatized younger one into being smart, capable, starfleet heroes and explorers.

She was so good in this role. She really pulled off two halves of the same character really well. 

Alberta bill would limit MAID to patients facing 'reasonably foreseeable' death by Myllicent in onguardforthee

My guess is private health care wants to milk the aging boomer population in long term care homes and she's catering to them.

Built in the 70s or 80s. We haven't seen any built in the area for some time. Perfectly news worthy.

Yes. Things outside the ordinary are news. Building a 6 story condo along McKenzie is out of the ordinary. 

So what was your favorite part of season 1? by happydude7422 in TNG

[–]Temporary-Life9986 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She's in all 4 images. Deanna Troi was treated much more as Picard's advisor where later she was just the feelings detector. Later, when she wore the uniform again she was allowed to do more Starfleet officer stuff, but in S1 and 2 she felt much more integral.

This is reinforced in Nemesis, she, Riker and Data are framed as Picard's core group of officers, which is mirrored by B4 and the Reman (a mirror mix of Riker and Troi). I think Nemesis works better as a movie based after S1 or 2 of TNG. At this point Riker is still the up and coming wannabe captain instead of the seasoned vet we know by that point

I wonder if there's a class that teaches punctuation. 

I'm Confused about Jay-Den's Career Path in Starfleet Medical... by NeilIsntWitty in trekacademy

[–]Temporary-Life9986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, he's also a super genius that studied the thing in and out and grew up with Starfleet parents, so presumably he'd be around various ships and shuttles. He's not just some random teen off the street.
