Why does everyone assume the speed of light is the fastest we can go?

Worst... series finale.... evar.

Picard stands under a beam of light, surrounded by darkness. Softly, he begins to play a flute. The light fades.

All comments about the validity of TNG as a serious sci-fi show are over.

And I love that show, too.

Wow...I hate you now.

That's my favorite episode behind The Inner Light and Chain of Command.

I totally don't remember that being the series finale. I remember something about Q stopping the creation of life on Earth.

My favorites are definitely Tapestry and Inner Light.

Its definitely the series finale, I went and googled the reference!

Chain of Command was a good one.

But I mean from a plot device standpoint, the TNG Finale should have passed the torch on to DS9. So a Cardassian/Maqui episode would have made a hell of a lot more sense as a series finale.

I mean the only reason the enterprise is able to project 3 convergent tachyon beams to begin with is because of Q's meddling. So the entire plot itself is a gigantic plot hole. Nor does that episode add anything to Picard's character that later gets used in any of the TNG based movies.

Gambit would have been a more sensible series finale. "Oh crap, the Maqui is really gaining support if they are recruiting right out of starfleet" Segwey into DS9 and Voyager.

Am I the only one here who don't watch Star Trek? >.>

What is this, I came in here expecting to see people still trying to explain stuff to people that would clearly never get it and instead I see Semaphore's victory dance and Laize admitting he's wrong? Did this thread enter an alternate reality?

Hey I win sometimes!

Hey I win sometimes!

Ive just never seen the victory dance :P

Also Ive seen Star Trek, but not watched whole series, Im tempted to though, Picard is teh wins!

I'm just stoked he answered a totally random email. What famous guy does that?

[Kurioxan]

Who are you calling cute!? :mad:

Also it better be me!

Erm, no one! erm. darn.

And lol at the new sign :P
Talk about gloating

[semaphore]

I'm tempted to try too, but it's so long/many series! Haven't even finished Farscape...

Ive just never seen the victory dance :P

Special victories call for special commemorations

Honestly I think a lot more do that people realise :P Very few people actually try.

And nope, dont watch it either.

Find it a mix of interesting and utterly boring at the same time, specially the older ones *queue hate towards me*
I do like Picard but didnt watch many.

No way. It didn't need to pass the torch, it was good that it brought the series full-circle as a standalone series, taking Picard back to Farpoint and with Q along for the ride.

[Kurioxan]

Many do really, although mostly on social sites.
Then again he is a professor i would assume he would read his emails
More likely than not, he thought you might be one of his students (kmon what teacher knows all his current or past students)
Or simply does answer public questions, had to edit this as my (bad) attempt to be humorous might be misunderstood.

I guess physicists are less likely to have their inbox flooded by random fans like some celebrities too.

If that's the case I'm gonna try my luck with Neil de Grasse Tyson next time.

Start on Season 2 IMO. With the exception of maybe the first episode, Season 1 is pretty terrible. It's worth watching so that you're set up for Season 2 and beyond, but it's pretty bad.

This thread should be locked and moved to the Paladin forums.

http://www.wowhead.com/talent#l0| Speed of light is clearly 70% movement speed, whereas judge only speeds you to 45% and pursuit only speeds you up to 30% max.

So in other words you liked it because you got to see Natasha Yar again? :P

[QUOTE=Biomega;19719129]And yes, I registered just to tell you that! [QUOTE]

Thank you for doing so.

I bet Neil DeGrasse Tyson gets thousands of emails a day from fans. You can't email him directly through a public address, but have to send a message to the Hayden Planetarium, which I did for the first time today.
