Now now what are you two talking about? That's just crazy talk.

[jr2]

How about a hotel that is a life-size model of the USS Enterprise, complete with a Star Trek museum etc?  Ha.  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ka-ching!   (Are you listening, CBS / Paramount??)

As an architect I really have to shout a big no at this, in the odd chance some crazy billionaire is lurking here fishing for ideas.

Errr.. ok, if the Enterprise isn't conducive to a hotel (seems obvious), then have it "in drydock / construction", and that should work for realism.

[Bryan See]

Are you somehow suggesting that the Star Trek history lore won't come to fruition in our own timeline?

I do wonder, have we been a victim of some kind of timeline incursion that allowed this heresy to happen?

We already have some facts here, like we have no collective memory of Khan and his accolytes' war. Clearly something suspicious must have happened. Perhaps we should ask the Time Cube guy. He must be on to something here, and the timing of his site going down must also necessarily be a clue. An important one.

Closer than you think, in the form of NASA's EmDrive and other derivatives of the Cannae drive. The peer-reviewed report on EmDrive should be out in December of this year.

There's no timeline incursion here, and we're not victims. Trump, Brexit, ISIS, and the Ukraine conflict (instigated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his mafia gang that is the Kremlin) are reminders that the nations of Earth do not understand nor allow the necessities of citizens contributing to society in Star Trek, I think. However, unlike those events in Star Trek, these might threaten to upend our progress we've made for decades.

EDIT: Happy 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, I guess.

It was probably the best of the reboot films and without a doubt the best Star Trek film of them.

Kind of surprised to hear this, though it did receive pretty glowing reviews.  The trailers made it look even further along the BAYSPLOSIONS!!! spectrum than Abrams' films had already trod.

[Phantom Hoover]

It's a film about the crew of the Enterprise getting stranded and scattered on a strange and wonderful new world and how they all set out to get back together, understand the place they're in and save each other and everyone else.

The trailers for Star Trek Beyond were some of the worst trailers I have ever seen, in retrospect.  I was fully prepared to write it off entirely after I saw that mega-bull**** cresting wave in space.

To my immense relief, the actual movie made much more sense.  It was pretty good.

[Black Wolf]

The wave in space thing... eh, it's a bit silly, and it all feels very shoehorned in to get the "super cool sequence" that some writer or (probably more likely) coked up studio exec or producer thought up. But they almost make it work, and they certainly make it fun.

Beyond's not flawless, but I thought it was the best of the three reboot movies. Worth seeing for sure.

Are you referring to this one?

Also I second this.

Unconvinced, citation needed. For instance, look at Jupiter's north pole recent pictures. They are clearly anomalous and hint at a larger truth.

EDIT: Happy 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, I guess.

Live long and prosper.

I very excited to see many technologies featured in Star Trek coming to reality. However, I think we need to acknowledge that there's certainly a possibility of a Donald Trump presidency, as I see at least two separate new polls which show Trump leads Hillary Clinton, and if Trump wins, it could be far worse than anything that's happened before.

Let's say Trump starts a war, in which nuclear weapons are used. He spawns powerful social movements that's anti-technology, anti-modern, anti-progress and anti-innovation. He orders contract killings of those who oppose him or exchange free ideas. He even rigs future presidential elections, as well as introduce voting reforms to make them such boring and a waste of time. He even turns everything as we know it today unrecognisable, like permanently renaming our planet, our Sun, our galaxy, and our race as well.

Now is the time to act and be very quick about it, because chances are high that we may regress in the near future, and get imprisoned under a criminal neo-totalitarianism controlled by the mafia consisting of murderous bandits, with no future for eternity.

I don't say this often, but you are seriously wrong and really, really need to examine the cognitive biases you have. Preferably with professional help.

Ah, so you're saying that there's a high chance we do get to correct our timeline to fit Star Trek's history again?

AWESOME. LETS DOOOOOOO IT.

[Bryan See]

There's a thread to the new PAC allowing open letters against Republican candidate for President, Donald Trump. There's a chance to fit into the Star Trek history if you act.

In the meantime, answer this question: Do we need to follow the footsteps of Zefram Cochrane and other figures of Trek history so that humanity will not end up destroying itself as a race, especially due to Trump, ISIS, Putin, Dugin's Eurasianists and the Zika outbreak?

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Anybody else misses judge floro ?

[Mongoose]

Compared to Bryan he was flat-out lucid.

[Luis Dias]

Bah you're just jealous of his super-florian swagger

[MP-Ryan]

I'm not convinced that Bryan over there isn't just ****ing with us.  Evidence points against it, but there's the odd little glimmer that makes me wonder.

[qwadtep]

That glimmer is Poe's Law getting stuck in your eye, methink.

[AdmiralRalwood]

Still not convinced Bryan isn't some sort of advanced chatbot.

[qwadtep]

In any case, "STD" is a really unfortunate acronym for the new series.
