Kate already commented that: "I understand there has been some controversy about my participation in a documentary called THE PRINCIPLE. Let me assure everyone that I completely agree with the eminent physicist Lawrence Krauss, who was himself misrepresented in the film, and who has written a succinct rebuttal in SLATE. I am not a geocentrist, nor am I in any way a proponent of geocentrism. More importantly, I do not subscribe to anything Robert Sungenis has written regarding science and history and, had I known of his involvement, would most certainly have avoided this documentary. I was a voice for hire, and a misinformed one, at that. I apologize for any confusion that my voice on this trailer may have caused. Kate Mulgrew"

Basically Star Trek started me into the technology world. I never really got the true hidden messages that we all know and see clearly today. I was more interested in the geeky side of Trek. Not so much TOS but more so TNG and then VOY. These shows were all on during a time of my life crisis and what was I and who was I so I didn't put much thought into the messages the shows portrayed. My mind was so cluttered with what was right and what was wrong that by the time I figured out myself I was starting to see it more clearly in reruns of the series. I am still finding little nuggets inside the shows as I rewatch them over and over.

Star Trek is still an influence on me as time goes on.

I'd be up for being part of a Stonewall guild, it's been hard to drum up interest from my old WoW guildies. Presumably most of you are US based though?

I've been playing the last few beta weekends of Wildstar, loving it. I'm intending to play Dominion side, medic/spellslinger/engineer. Can't decide between them.

Of course I didn´t realize at this time - as a child - that there was a hidden message behind (Lt Uhura: a 1. afroamerican AND 2. woman doing a very important job! OMG!) and that this message was important.

As I advanced in age (still watching Star Trek) the messages came through which are: "We all are equal! Don´t be afraid to face the unknown, rather be interested and have an open mind!" And I recognized the importance.

Yes, I think that Star Trek has impacted me... but this wouldn´t have been possible if my open minded family wouldn´t have allowed me to watch it^^

My family (i was raised by my grandparents) never gave me the feeling that a girl is less valuable than a boy or told me that girls HAVE to play with dolls - hey, i got a model railway for christmas as I was 5 or 6! - but this sight of things was rare in the late 70th respectively early 80th, so I´m very grateful.

I still watch Star Trek over i-net, preferably Voyager (and I´m sure most of you have figured out by now that I´m a Voyager and Janeway fan, lol) and I´m still impressed. And that´s why I play Star Trek Online. I love it!^^

ST: Voyager was the first Star Trek series that truly got me hooked into Star Trek. I totally love how Star Trek in general has influenced people to be more open-minded and accepting. ^^ *big hugs*

she probably got paid a nice chunk of change to do that..... hell id read it too if the money was right LOL

I'm sure the phone isn't ringing off the hook anymore, but she's gotta have plenty of "Orange is the New Black" money not to do this trash.

Wait wut

I grew up with Enterprise and Captain Kirk.

Eastern Standard Time is GMT-5. Eastern Daylight is GMT-4. I take it's the latter you meant :)

Now, I loves me some Janeway.

But someone's needing to start filtering the scripts that are landing on her desk:

We welcome you to join anytime you feel it's right for you. There are lots of things, we as a fleet, do. We have a ton of in-game events and lots of team ups for end game content. As well we have tutorials, if you need them, for all of the reputation content. Feel free to check out our Welcome Center for more information.

I suppose what I mean really I haven't yet felt the lack of a fleet. I'd be delighted to apply when I do. :-)

You are welcome to join whenever you feel comfortable doing so, damerell. :) We welcome new members as soon as they start out or after they've reached max level as there's no limitations on when someone can join us. :cheer:

Using the Odyssey (if you have one) grants you a full minute of slipstream instead of the standard 30 sec.

Always check for warp cores that grant: driver coil bonus, SS speed bonus, SS cooldown

And you can active duty the doff that cools down transwarp, beats backtracking.
