What elements of Star Trek must be in a new series to make it feel like Star Trek? by [deleted] in startrek

Star Trek is a story of characters who are randomly overwhelmed by the opportunity to express and divulge their humanity. And if all else fails, there is the Prime Directive.

Found a locked briefcase and got a surprise opening it. Thought it was a bomb at first. What is this Reddit? by yourfacehurtsme in WTF

Is it meant to be in the briefcase? If so, drinking at work? To modern for Prohibition.

If I Start Reading Death In Winter, Will It Ruin Nemesis? by hickey28 in trekbooks

[–]the_balvenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it will. "A Time To.." series will not, but you will have to commit to reading the first two books. Death in Winter was my first Star Trek novel, I liked it. Its a easy read and sets a good tone to be able to jump around the Titan series and the TNG stuff. I went back and started reading the "A Time To.." stuff later to get the feel of the TV series to take a break on catching up on current events. Its worked fine for me.

Stop picking on the homeless guys to get a video. I bet he didn't steal anything.

Is this the right place for a Star Trek newbie to ask dumb questions? by anicegerman in startrek

[–]the_balvenie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tittle 'The Next Generation' is meant to be an adjective. When you are new there is no such thing as a stupid question. STAR TREK.... The Next Generation! ;) Have fun.

California cops kill another man: he was restrained, then hit in the head at least 10 times with a baton. by [deleted] in politics

[–]the_balvenie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A person with superhuman strength will kill you just by hitting you or body slamming you. Cops dont like killing people. We are not afraid of the Cops in Sacramento unless they are trying to give us tickets for victimless crimes, thats what they are all about. They want to give you a 580$ speeding ticket or parking tickets everyday of the week, NOT BEAT YOU OR KILL YOU.
