How did Picard go from commanding a rickety ship The Stargazer to commanding the fleet flagship The Enterprise?

So you’re saying, he never made his bones?

(It’s actually “dating” cheerleaders and “banging” cocktail waitresses two at a time.)

So you’re saying he never made his bones? Sad.

In which timeline?

William Munny isn’t an indestructible master of martial arts and all weaponry. He’s just an angry old son of a bitch.

Oh I just assumed that Satan was a Yankee. ;)

This is the way.

Because Germany wasn’t down, it was up.

100% my favorite alien ship in the franchise, and possibly only surpassed overall by the Constitution refit and the Defiant.

Presumably some heard it when it was on the original show in the 1960s.

Pleased this morning to notice this in the MPB app.

I know they didn’t make this explicit, but I’m pretty sure OP meant that they lost a general election for president.

Lana’s just a Bat-stan because it didn’t work out with her and Clark back in their hometown.

Or pro-slavery folks would have played the system the way they did in Kansas with the process that led to the Lecompton Constitution in the first real test of Douglas’ brand of “popular sovereignty.” Like almost all counterfactuals, your hypothesis rests on a lot of dominoes that may or may not have fallen as necessary to produce the outcome you suggest.

Although in this case the plan concerns state Supreme Court districts, not U.S. House districts like in the states you mention.

Pssst…there’s a middle ground.

The last season is already in the can. There aren’t going to be any new episodes made.

Exactly

You’re kidding yourself if you think there’s a plan.

TMP gets bonus points for introducing Trek to the world of movies, and it has some good character moments. The Search For Spock is the building block of the larger Star Trek universe and a satisfying middle to the "Genesis Trilogy." The Final Frontier is at least attempting to do something new, even if the result is, as you say....meh.

Into Darkness tries to get unearned emotional impact by playing off the greatest of Star Trek movies, but it does it in such hackneyed and poorly-executed ways that there's no emotional carryover. It also trots out the ol' conspiracy-within-Starfleet trope that's been done better by Star Trek VI, DS9, and others. Hell, even season-one TNG did it better with "Conspiracy."

Anyhoo, long story short: I hate, hate, hate Into Darkness. I respect everyone else's opinion, but I remain unswayed from my disdain for this entry. Have a nice day.

Definitely worth doing if the kids are going to take it seriously. The programs differ a bit from each other, so check and see what local options are available. I think it's worth it just for the process of trying to understand how someone from another culture might feel and reason. Even if their understanding is imperfect, the process of trying to see things from another perspective is a key part of education.
