ddickinson: I can't say I am a big fan of Star Trek, but I do tend to prefer The Next Generation. The only game I have played from the Star Trek games is Starfleet Academy. My brother had it years ago. It was quite fun, if I remember correctly.

But I never did get why they made him French, given he is clearly English. He could have still had the same name, but why make him French when he clearly is not? Silly writers. :-)
Imho if is better in every regards than TOS (aside from the retrocharme of course ^^). Played that one years ago with an unbearable German localisation.....

Don't ask me. I guess most of that came from Patrick Stewart - who is a great actor. Well maye nationality doesn't matter in the future :)

LeoLR: Good evening, everyone!

Although the end of the year presents a struggle to all with these sales everywhere. :-)
Good evening!

The week is going good, thank you. How are you?

If nationality is not important, why is the headquarters of the entire Federation in the US? And why do all ships in the Federation have the American prefix (USS) on their ships? Surly it should be UFS for United Federation Ship? It sounds to me like the Americans still thought nationality mattered when creating the series. :-)
(That was just a silly comment, nothing to take seriously.)

It's a decent week here. How is you week going?
Happy Birthday to me! I always wanted a birthday donut, so I will make one for myselft today :P
Found a footage of a old minstrel show(or blackface show) on Youtube.
Awkward is probably the right term for how I felt watching it.

Hang on. Only Starfleet Academy and the Federation Council (afaik) are located in San Francisco while the President is located in Paris :)
But you're right and i assume most of that is a remnant of the Original Series where basically the Federation was America in Space and the Klingons were the Soviet Union in Space....
But even though that changed a bit in The Next Generation all of the Star Trek series had a lack of cultural and also species diversity...it was made for an American audience after all... (and USS stands apparently for United Star / Space Ship - and the ships in the pre-Federation actually only have a S.S. prefix)

I wouldn't consider that a silly comment - it's a valid critisism i can agree to :)

Hello, Crow! I hope you are doing well?

What is making you want to play Diablo 3 again?
Good evening. =)

Doing okay here overall. How was your day?

Haven't cleared it. Not really much in the way of tangible desire, though. It's a piece of shit. I've known that for quite a while now. It's not going to be fun. Just want to clear it so it's dead.

ElTerprise: Don't do it.....it's a trap....
I know it is. A trap made of boredom, repetition and garbage.

But it's boredom, repetition and garbage made by Blizzard ;)

I'm well but slightly bothered because I have to start looking into what to buy as Christmas gifts to a few people and I don't have any ideas yet.

That may be silly but a interesting comment anyway. I confess I never payed attention to this but now I'm curious to know if there is any explanation to this piece of Star Trek lore.

And that is a fitting explanation. :-)

Hi Leo. Goint to enjoy the Black Friday?

From what i heard and read in the original Star Trek pitch Gene Roddenberry referred USS as United Space Ship...guess he was too lazy to actually think of a different prefix ;)

You mutated again.

I'll probably stay clear of any Black Friday. :-)
