Surely a committed Trekkie would have watched the OTS and all other series, and in full order. :p

As a kid, I caught random episodes on TV, not all of them, and only if I wasn't doing anything else at the time (so gaming or playing outside or chilling with my friends would take precedence).

I don't know the different Enterprise variants, in fact the only ship name I know is the Bird of Prey.

I've also never been to any conventions and own no paraphernalia.

Finally, I don't think Star Trek is any better than Star Wars, they are on even keel for me :D

Right, I let most things on this forum fly over me but this is a step too far!

Mods, can you please ban him from this thread until he sees sense :p:D

Enjoyed SG1 but it really seemed like they should have ended it long before it got cancelled. 10 seasons for that type of show is pretty unusual. Only thing that bugged me about the show in general was a lot of the episodes seemed to end rather abruptly, like you were expecting a few more minutes to close it out but the credits just smacked you in the face out of nowhere.

Stargate ended at the end of series 7 for me. 8 was kind of phoned in. 9 and 10 were a different TV programme altogether.

Nah, but that teleporter was a nice bit of continuity. From a race voyager encountered which Hugh mentioned got assimilated.
The writers certainly know their stuff, even if they stutter from time to time.

That goes right back to Voyager Season 1 if I remember correct, the Sikarians had some kind of Transporter tech with a 40k light year range but it was incompatible with the tech the Federation use. Obviously the Borg got to them at some point between then & the 20-30 years Picard is set in.

The tech i believe if it was from them, could only work on their world due to something with the planet. Tho that explains them going "from" the planet, how they get back i have no idea. If it was that tech i wonder how the borg got a workaround from needing the planet in order for it to work when voyager couldnt. Well ok the borg probs could i suppose with their vast resources and problem solving ability.

At first i thought iconian door way myself was what it was. Tho it didnt have the random images of places like a iconian portal usually does.

It sounds like Janeway's attack on the Borg didn't have much effect? They talked about a new Queen, this technology as a lifeboat. That said, the Federation doesn't seem that bothered about the Borg anymore.

So I just got done with probably the most relevant TNG Episode relating to Picard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Measure_of_a_Man_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

What changed to allow the synths and their slavery to be conducted ?

I think that if the Synth's weren't truly sentient, no free will limited decision making capability, like a ships computer then it's not an issue that they have no rights and are treated as automatons. I think suggesting this is how they were designed but that secretly Maddox or someone else had implanted Data-like true sentience, or it was an emergent phenomenon because of the positronic brain would have crossed this divide. They weren't meant to be "alive" the Federation didn't realise they'd created slaves and the revolt becomes understandable. That would be a way of doing the plot that is consistent with "The Measure of a Man" in my opinion. But is totally a fair challenge.
