IMO Trek lost its true 'magic' when Roddenberry died. The plots of STOS and STNG may have been corny at times, but they always had thought provoking messesges. They relied on exploring ideas, rather than cgi light shows. Character development took centre stage. When I watch the new 'enterprise' there is no energy or tension... it almost seems like someone is telling the actors to hold back their emotions??? They seem stilted, wooden, comatose even. The show has no pulse, no heartbeat. That is why I can't stand it.
While the enterprise is exploring a new nubula, they are caught in a plasma storm which shorts out their systems. The ship computer is then attacked by some alien force and gains awareness! Enterprise becomes a new character! Over the course of the rest of the series we get to follow the tear jerker exploits and follies of the ship as it makes it journey to discover what it means to be 'human'....
Oh yes praise those considerate logging companies! PLanting a few seedlings is really going to help replenish forests that took THOUSANDS of years to develop, yet only minutes to cut down. ugh.
Indeed!
Thoughout my travels in Asia I have found that Internet cafes function as a social gathering place for people to hang out, meet others, and exchange ideas. This is exactly the kind of thing people need more of in remote and isolated settings such as Africa.
There are COUNTLESS uses of the internet than just posting to/.! --> tracking the weather if you are a farmer, keeping up to date on the news, contacting specialists such as doctors, facilitating growth of local industry - the possibilities are endless really.
I think some people have lost sight of the real power of the internet and its role in encouraging the exchange of ideas!
One other advantage that makes Laser printers superior.... NO SMUDGING!

The EVIL sun and its weapons of mass destruction must be stopped!
If the sun does not capitulate and give up its weapons of mass destruction, a coalition of the willing will be led to rid the earth of this tyranny!

Look on the bright side, Sorbo gets to do more flips and round house kicks.... oh wait
Says it all... although I doubt he would stoop low enough to be a writer for that sinking ship ;p
