Yeah... All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it's true it's true... And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one I...I will begin again I...I will begin again Oh... Maybe the time is right Oh...maybe tonight... I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we're told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day

In Babylon 5 StellarCom was run through the jump gates and relayed along the beacon markers in hyperspace. It also relied on ships in normal space to act as relays. Real time f2f also required the use of gold channel. Otherwise you got a popup telling you "you got mail".

Presence attacks also aren't technically an attack action, which is why you can get a bonus to them for such things as "violent action".

Teardrop on a fragile eyelash She's looking like a dream Hoping for some understanding And answer or at least Cunning word a single sentence To restore her heart Aching since the day I left her Crossing lonely seas Silent tears of a woman Make a warrior cry Heaven, I beg you Please release hopes from fears This is my elegy Do you know what I feel? This is my elegy Do you believe it's real? Will I hold you in my arms again? Dewdrops on a single rosebud This purity of rain Reminds me of the moment I left her Kisses filled with pain And if I should leave her waiting For another year Will she ever know the answer? Will she follow me? Silent tears of a woman Make her warrior cry Heaven, I beg you Please release hopes from fears This is my elegy Do you know what I feel? This is my elegy Do you believe it's real? Will I hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms again? Cunning word, a single sentence To restore her heart Aching since the day I left her Crossing lonely seas

Would be hard to disarm that shield.

I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Someboy told me that her name was Jill Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Yes, my heart stood still Yes, her name was Jill And when I walked her home da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron I knew what she was thinkin' when she caught my eye Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron I looked so quiet but my oh my Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Yes, she caught my eye Yes, but my oh my And when I walked her home da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Well, I picked her up at seven and she looked so fine Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Someday soon I'm gonna make her mine Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Yes, she looked so fine Yes, I'll make her mine And when I walked her home da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron Yeah, yeah, yeah da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

I wonder who she's seeing tonight Is she really going out with him He's not her type And doing all the things She used to do with me Well, I'd say something to her But I get so jealous When I think of her loving someone else And I can't think why we ever let go We must have been crazy Tell me what kind of fool am I To just let go,To just let go like that What kind of fool am I, To lose you She was cold sometimes But she made me feel alive She was such a spoiled baby But baby she could love And she loved me like nobody Ever will again I thought we'd be together When the world ran down When the curtains fell And the lights came up But the gods or whatever Make the world go 'round Shuffled when they should've cut Tell me What kind of fool am I To just let go, To just let go like that What kind of fool am I To lose you Did it come to easy to the two of us Did we go to wrong to ever make it right Were we too busy checking out the left hand That we didn't see the right Tell me What kind of fool am I To just let go, To just let go like that What kind of fool am I Oh baby please, Oh baby please come back I meant to say in time Baby we can work it out But I never meant to say goodbye Tell me What kind of fool am I What kind of fool am I What kind of fool am I To lose you

Having a defense force doesn't make them military necessarily. Look at the French Resistance in WWII.

Can I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a water buffalo.

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow All round the day was going down slow Night like a river beginning to flow I felt the beat of my mind go Drifting into time passages Years go falling in the fading light Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Well I'm not the kind to live in the past The years run too short and the days too fast The things you lean on are the things that don't last Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these Time passages There's something back here that you left behind Oh time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn Don't know why you should feel That there's something to learn It's just a game that you play Well the picture is changing Now you're part of a crowd They're laughing at something And the music's loud A girl comes towards you You once used to know You reach out your hand But you're all alone, in those Time passages I know you're in there, you're just out of sight Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

It’s Official: Quentin Tarantino’s STAR TREK Has A Writer (And It’s Not Quentin Tarantino)

Star Fleet wasn't military. They were scientists and explorers foremost.

They had a cook (Neelix) on Voyager because the replicator was limited. Leah Brahms was not Starfleet when she spent time on Enterprise-D with Geordi.

I got no means to show identification I got no papers show you what I am You'll have to take me just the way that you find me What's gone is gone and I do not give a damn Empty stomach, empty head I got empty heart and empty bed I don't remember I don't remember I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything Anything at all Strange is your language and I have no decoder Why don't you make your intentions clear With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda Saying, "Tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear Stop staring at me like a bird of prey I'm all mixed up, I got nothing to say I don't remember I don't remember I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything Anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything Absolutely anything at all I don't remember

Communications in just about all sci-fi settings is not instantaneous. Nor should it be.

Relay stations. Stations that can be subverted or destroyed. Signal degradation. So, no. You want to talk to someone in another solar system it will not be instantaneous.

Keep in mind in ST:TOS Kirk was regularly out of contact with command for months at a time.

Welcome to the Grand illusion Come on in and see what's happening Pay the price, get your tickets for the show The stage is set, the band starts playing Suddenly your heart is pounding Wishing secretly you were a star But don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazines They show you photographs of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasy So if you think your life is complete confusion Because you never win the game Just remember that it's a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same We're all the same So if you think your life is complete confusion Because your neighbors got it made Just remember that it's a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on earth's this spell we're under We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

She is the only evidence of God I have seen with the exception of the mysterious force that removes one sock from the dryer every time I do my laundry.

Whatever you do, don't kick him in the balls.
