  8. and 99% of [quoted] statistics are skewed by selection bias of the reporter

    This is really true (and unfortunately so)

    So that's, say, 75% true (and unfortunately so)?

  20. Re:Klingons! on New Star Trek TV Series Coming In 2017 (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Definitely. I'm for this. The strong, witty characters are already basically a requirement on tv shows these days, so it makes sense to put the characters in an environment in our Star Trek universe where they need to be strong and witty. With the Klingons, it's sure to be action. I would watch almost anything with Star Trek in it, but I already like action shows. This show should be set after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis so we can see what keeps happening in the Prime universe. I vote for a human woman, and a [half-human, we learn about that later] Andorian. Guest stars should include Captain Nog and Dr. Bashir and Admiral Riker.
