Ask a Question, Get Deep!

[Deepfreeze32]

Maybe.


I'd personally go for a Terminator style weapon system.

[Chozon1]

Does the thought of bio-mech humans give you the creeps?

Because it kind of makes me chill.

[Deepfreeze32]

Not really.

[Chozon1]

The blending of man and machine doesn't give you any qualms?

Sure, I hope that the prosthetic technology increases a lot, because making paralyzed or people with missing limbs happy is awesome. But I would hate to see humanity completely dependent on mechanized body parts.

[Deepfreeze32]

Well yeah.

Watch the Star Trek Enterprise episode "Regeneration," Malcom and Phlox have a nice little discussion on this.

Malcom: "I don't mind technology, as long as it stays outside of my skin"
Phlox: "If you got stabbed in the heart, would you want to me to replace it with an artificial implement, or would you rather die?"
Malcom: "That's different. Willingly replacing perfectly good body parts with artificial limbs.....it just doesn't make sense"


Yeah. I LOVE Trek.

[Orodrist]

Malcom: "That's different. Willingly replacing perfectly good body parts with artificial limbs.....it just doesn't make sense"

Why not?

I mean, would you rather lift 200 pounds or a ton? Run at 20 mph or 50?

[Deepfreeze32]

Watch the episode.


Please.


Resistance is futile!

There's your hint on why the discuss it like they do

[Orodrist]

The episode was OK, but what does it have to do with what I asked.

[Deepfreeze32]

The episode was OK, but what does it have to do with what I asked.

That's how I feel about it.

I for one, don't want to be dependent on machines that can and will fail.

Now, if we're talking an exo-skeletal system, then I'm all for that.

[Chozon1]

Oh yes, Power suits aren't a problem for me. Or if the suit somehow enhanced your strength, speed, ETC. I don't like the Borg.

Also, I'm a trekkie too. ^_^ But I skipped Enterprise as a series. Watched the first season, then quit for some reason. but if that episode happens to come one, you can bet I'll watch it.

Best Star Trek?

I go for Generations, but I missed DS9 as a child...

[Deepfreeze32]

DS9 is decent...


But The next Generation gets my vote, and Voyager gets a close second.

[Chozon1]

Oh yes. Voyager ruled. It's a dream of mine to get every episode and movie of Star Trek on DVD.

243 1/2 hours of consecutive Star Trek?

[Deepfreeze32]

It's all good provided you inject a few breaks for star Trek Games, and of course, stock all the food up you need.

I'd totally do that.......


If I could just get some more series on DVD.

(TNG, got every season)

[Chozon1]

...I hate U.

I have...Insurrection, on VHS. But I've got Elite Force.

Any other good Star Trek games?

[Orodrist]

Best Trek weapon?
