I was thinking Xindi. I wonder how they spell it.

But that's the really good thing about temporal plots, it's free license to throw away all the previous future history and start again.

For instance on the oldest Star Trek timeline, Khan from the Wrath of Kahn movie ruled a large area of earth during the eugentics wars of the 1990s which left much of the world depopulated though mass use of chemical agents.

They can lose.

They have already created a divergent timeline.

Thier version of time travel would let you kill your progenitors before you were born.

Instead of cancelling you out of existance you become the only person with your memories. You will technically never be born. However you would still exist from the point you entered "the past".

Dr. Who - "the key to time travel is to think empirically".
{in other words if I am "here", I am "here", no matter what logically would have preventing me from being "here". It is only "here" since I am in it. If I were not "here" it would be somewhere else without me in it. {All references to a place in the previous are temporal references {"here" being now, "somewhere else" being an alternate now}

So when you time travel you automatically make a "somewhere else" the moment you arrive since it cannot truly be the past because now you are in it.

Oh, I understand all that stuff but I see it as highly unlikely they would do that though. I could see the Enterprise itself being destroyed but I don't think the writers will rewrite Star Trek history though that could create a few more off breed series of alternate Star Trek futures.

I thought Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was the best Star Wars movie by far. I promise you all that Episode III will be so excellant. Darth Vader is my favourite character. I don't know if Episode III will be as good as TESB (The Empire Strikes Back). I doubt it. That movie was perfect!!! I repeat........perfect!

I found the empire strikes back quite a boring film, except for the first bit on Hoth. My favourite would be ep 2 for the combat sequences, but I prefer the overall mood of the orginal trilogy.

On time travel:
That empirical approach reminds me on one of my theories of creation:
The world is an illusion I have created to sustain myself, havin first imagined the illusiin i become part of it, and so unable to affect it except within the scope of the illusion. Since this illusion exists only for me, where ever I cannot see, does not exist. Things come into being as they come into my area of sensation, and are inversly destroyed.

but anyway...

[Darth Tiberius]

Boring!! Boring!!! What's boring about the Empire Strikes Back?? Everything about it is perfect!" The lightsaber fight a the near end and Darth Vader saying that he is Luke's father is so touching it made me cry and I could not sleep cause I was so filled with awe and appreciation for that wonderful movie. I've seen it over 200 times!!!!

Personally I questioned the believability of that section, mainly because of the seeminlgy massive drop he endured.

[Darth Tiberius]

He had Jedi endurance to injuries. The force to a Jedi is life. He had to survive that. He was nearly killed anyway. You saw the state Luke Skywalker was in. It was perfectly believable.

Just to answer the question, LMAO I have never watched any of those shows. I may be playing Cantr, but I didn't even know what Dungeons and Dragons were until someone from here told me! LOL I am not a...how do I put this... Well, I know I can't say I'm not a freak (LOL) but I'm not one of those Star-Trek watching, science project doing, Spok loving, pocket protector wearing, Algebra loving type freaks. LOL No offense to anyone who is. But to answer the question, I have no clue what any of those shows are, and frankly, I don't want to know. =)


Honestly, not to put down anyone who's like this--honestly.

[Solfius]

I'm none of that either, I just like to watch Sci Fi stuff,

[rklenseth]

I don't consider myself a freak or a nerd. I just like good sci-fi and fantasy.

I can't believe you never heard of Star Wars or X-Files.

Next thing you are going to tell me that you have never heard of Lord of the Rings.

[oddedd]

:OIIIIII THERES NO BABYLON 5 ON THAT LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sammigurl61190]

Actually I only know what that is because my best friend has a huge crush on Elijah Wood. LOL Well, I think he's cute too--but anyway, I never saw the movies. Although I've heard they're good, I've also heard there's scary parts in it. I absolutely hate scary movies. So unless they show it at school, which they undoubtedly will, I will never see them, nor have the desire to. LOL

[grayjaket]

WHAT!? You've never seen lord of the rings? Are you crazy? There like the best movies ever! Well, almost. Two towers was awesome. go rent them now!

[sammigurl61190]

No thank you--the 3 minutes I saw when I was delivering a message to one of the teachers at the high school was enough. LOL But thanks for the offer!

[grayjaket]

But they are such good movies!
