"Why would a God create people SO imperfect, then BLAME them for their own imperfections? Then send his son to be tortured and executed by those imperfect people, to make up for how imperfect people were; and how imperfect they were going to be?" -Julia Sweeney, Letting Go of God

"That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence. We are constantly searching, not just for answers to our questions, but for new questions. We are explorers." -Commander/Captain Benjamin Sisko, Star Trek: Deep Space 9

"Destroying an Empire to win a war is no victory. And ending a battle to save an Empire is no defeat." -Kahless the Unforgettable, 1st Emperor of the Klingon Empire

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States

    I like Invisible War's simpler, more straightforward story, though I do miss the extensive lore and worldbuilding from the original game (which, let's face it, was a little TOO complicated - I'd like to see it novelised, even though it'd be about 1,000 pages long). It's a game I have VERY mixed feelings about. I don't hate it, but what does annoy me is how it self-terminates and restarts every time you load a new map or saved game (I'm not joking - IW is programmed to quit itself and then reboot itself whenever this happens - try running the PC version in a window instead of a full screen and you'll see what I mean)... I mean, why? That aside, I don't mind it, but it feels like it could have been so much more - such a lost opportunity. With that said, when we do get to hear JC speak again, it's a wonder for the ears, and that's the Deus Ex I want to remember. :)

    I think Cassidy made a great point. Here's why? Through out the Star Trek Universe characters have mentioned their heritage. Picard-French, O'Brien-Irish, Chekoc-Russian, Sisko-Black American, Chakotay-Native Indian, Kira-Dakhur Province of Bajor and many more. All of them have mentioned the good bad and the ugly of its heritage history. However, for humans it's more to it. You have your ethnic heritage and the fact that everyone is the same race, "human." I like how Picard explained The United Federation of Planets in ST First Contact. Earth in the future has, no racism, discrimination, poverty, disease and no money in the sense that we understand. The entire human race lives to better ourselves and the rest of humanity. Which as of right now we are far from that mindset.

    What annoys me about this episode is that I think it's a reasonable assumption to make that a decloaking ship is a warship so I'm not even sure there should have been a court martial. If the rules of engagement that you and potentially adversaries have agreed upon are that you do not fire on civilian vessels, then there is no need to have cloaked civilian vessels, as your adversary will not fire upon them therefore they don't need concealing, and in fact civilian ships should be as easily identifiable as possible so that they are not fired upon. Cloaked vessels obviously being cloaked are not identifiable, and since vessels cloaking or decloaking are at their most vulnerable, this is the best time to fire upon them. In a real world parallel, the Geneva convention specifies that hospitals should not be attacked, and that they shall be marked with an emblem to make them clear to enemy forces. The Federation response to the extradition request should have been "why was military equipment like a cloaking device on a civilian vessel?" I frankly don't see anything wrong with what Worf did, even if it was a "civilian" vessel.

    I didn't care for this argument back then, but now it's actually really relevant given how so, so much media wants to forget about this part of our past so they can get brownie points just to brag about having a diverse cast. I'm almost certain the current writers of Star Trek would never write a heroic character like this to disagree with their own views like this, even if they do end up coming around at the end

Space Above and Beyond. Starship Enterprise. Picard the TV series. Now even the stars are not the limit!

    The writing in this scene is so good. In 4 minutes it covers theology, philosophy, politics and the human nature and communicates its ideas well enough to be understood. There's even another layer of irony to it, this 4 minute speech is a generality in light of just how deep these topics can go.

    I took a sci fi class in high school. It was an English class. We had to write essays on what the show or movie was trying to tell us. St tng was first contact. After watching it i was hooked. I would come home from school and watched it on syndication. Eventually i figured out new episodes were on Saturday afternoons. The last episode aired around the time i graduated. It still is bittersweet. Both my childhood and this show ended around the same time.

    Star Trek Casting: Hi Mr. Brooks. This role is a bit complex, as you will be the captain of a space station, during war time. You will also have a child aboard, and may have to make some controversial decisions as captain. AND, we're going to make you a religious figure to a war torn species, because a different alien species..uhm, chose you to communicate with. And, we're going to have the usual, Klingong and Romulan and...no Vulcans..hehe can you believe that? But we are going to have shapeshifters as the main enemy. Do you think you can swing it.

    Stepping into the holodeck recreation of 1960s Las Vegas for 24th century citizens would be as trivial as us going to Medieval Times Dinner Theater. I understand why this exchange between Sisko and Cassidy took place, it was more to inform kids of the 90s that the real 60's Vegas was not inclusive or inviting as the show's depiction is. However, I much prefer the take that Uhura had on the past in TOS "The Savage Curtain." When called a "charming negress" by the recreated Abraham Lincoln, and then quickly apologizing for it, Uhura responds: "But why should I object to that term, sir? You see, in our century, we've learned not to fear words." In the future of Star Trek, we have not forgotten our past, but we no longer let it define who we are and where we are going together.
