I’m slightly ashamed that I know this, but in Enterprise, someone explains that in an effort to breed superwarriors, the Klingons tried to adapt Brent Spiner’s techniques which had the unfortunate affect of shrinking their skull ridges and making them look like bikers. Which explains Worf’s remark to Chief O’Brien that “we don’t discuss it.” It appears Kirk only ever encountered genetically modified Klingons.

@Petrucio
anything is science fiction if you make up a fancy description.

reincarnation could be a process of telepathic transfer or imprinting, perhaps a materialisation of a cognitive essence. I dunno the doctor is better at that then I am

but the key difference between fantasy and sci fi is in fantasy magic did it, in sci fi some complicated process did it, oh and things tend to be made out of metal or organic materials in sci fi.
eg. magic wand - sonic screwdriver
blinking - teleporting
invisibility spell - invisibility field and so on.

-Cloning won’t bring the character back (the actress will tho)
-Reincarnation is not science.
-I’m OK with the brain backup.

Hello Steven M.

Did you vote for Paul Cornell or for yourself for the Hugo this year?

“Sorry if this is a spoiler for you, but since Tosh is kinda dead I don’t think much romance is in her future. . .”

This is science fiction. A character isn’t dead until you see the body turned to ash, the ashes thrown in sulphuric acid, and the ashes dumped in a black hole.

And maybe not then either. (Reincarnation? Digital brain copy? Cloning?)

I have several questions:

1) Who would win in a fight; Darth Vader or The Batman Dark Knight?
2) Who would win in a fight between Kirk and Picard?
3) Who would win in a fight between Captain Picard and Dr. Xavier?
4) How have you been able to resolve the vast morphological differences between the menacing Klingons in Kirk’s day with those more convivial, albeit more intimidating appearing Klingons of Picard’s day?

Moffat: How much of the next season has he got scoped out already? ie has he any stories already planned, does he already a have rough scope of where the season is going to go etc?
Asking a bit soon maybe but experience shows that this is a bloke that thinks ahead (not to mention backwards, sideways & any which wibbly wobbly way )

Mori: Just remember to keep your tongue in - I’d probably forget ;-D
