Episode 734 - Abrams Movie Era - "Star Trek" - 05/08/2009
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=star%20trek%202009%20itunes&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fmovie%2Fstar-trek%2Fid317909453&ei=JWpfUO6dCKrUigL5jID4Aw&usg=AFQjCNH3pxFbHFiUOHOIqgywK4-kDWjX0A
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that this post brings us to the end of "Star Trek: The Journey". I want to thank all of those who have followed along with me these past 2 years, those who have discussed the various episodes in this thread, and those who are in process or just starting their own Journey. Words can not express how amazing this experience was and how big of a void my days are going to have without it.
It's crazy to look back at how far we've come. The thread was started in August of 2010, just several months after STO launched. Since then, so many things have happened in the world and my life, including the amazing opportunity I now have working on STO. It was also hard to imagine that I would make it all the way through, due to the commitment it required. Yes, there were plenty of days that had gaps between episodes, but in the end, we made it. We watched 734 "episodes", including 11 movies and 30 seasons. Absolutely incredible.
Enjoy ST 2009, and farewell "Star Trek: The Journey"!

Re: HALLOWEEN FLEET EVENT!
Wow! That looks like it will be fun, and very scary. :dry:
Epic trailer too.

Xcom enemy Unknown
Just noticed I posted this thread in the wrong forum
The original X Com is easily in my top ten list of the greatest games of all time. I lost entire weeks to that game, it was so deep, detailed and comlex. Not to mention I loved the science and the research.
Well Valve are about to release a new updated version (it's out 11th October). This is the first game I have been excited about in over a year. I just wondered if there was anyone else out there with 11th October marked in the calendar, counting down the days with the same excitement of a kid counting down the days until xmas?

Re: So What Constitutes Maturity
Signs of Maturity: What Does It Mean to “Grow Up?” By: Dr. Gerald Stein
http://drgeraldstein.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/signs-of-maturity-what-does-it-mean-to-grow-up/
This was a lengthy read and very fascinating...so grab your coffee cup....
I was thrilled to read this as a definition of "Matuity," I'm still searching however for someone or anyone to actually put an "age" to when the very first signs of maturity or immaturity are exhibited.
From this thread written by Dr. Gerald Stein, I picked out (what I am going to bold print now) and use it carefully and loosely to support my theory that signs of maturity and immaturity can begin with infancy."
Dr. Stein references: Adlai Stevenson II, in his 1954 speech at the senior class dinner of his Alma Mater, Princeton University. These 55-year-old words spoken by the 54-year-old Stevenson are as appropriate now as then:
"What he knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty boils down to something like this: The knowledge he has acquired with age is not the knowledge of formulas, or forms of words, but of people, places, actions — a knowledge not gained by words but by touch, sight, sound, victories, failures, sleeplessness, devotion, love — the human experiences and emotions of this earth and of oneself and other men; and perhaps, too, a little faith, and a little reverence for things you cannot see…"
I alluded to a base formula, before I read this Doctor's theory.
a knowledge not gained by words but by touch, sight, sound...in as far as my opinion is concerned all infants are influenced by:
touch, sight, sound

This is why some people or even kids have a loosely measurable maturity level that would seem to fill up an 18-wheeler were as some others maturity levels might not fill a coffee cup. Parents teaching and guidance (or other influences) are actually the polish and shaping on something that is already there... a base formula if you wish...that is already there in abundance or barely at all.

Event #4 report
An act of sabotage aboard the USS Sally Ride turned a routine transwarp jump into a disastrous plunge to the far side of Klingon space. The ship was crippled and her captain put in a coma, and now the remaining crew must find their way back to Federation space, pursued by a mysterious flotilla of heavily modified warships.
Orenn, Seven, Yenzoc, and Benton met in the conference room to discuss their latest findings. Commander Sev, who had been poring over the sensor logs of the ships that fought the Sally Ride, reported that the ships' modifications made extensive use of adapted Borg technology in addition to the Horta-like energy signatures detected by Yenzoc previously. This finding may link the technology used to modify the mystery ships and the technology used to sabotage the Sally Ride.
In the process of plotting a stealthy course back to friendly territory, Mr. Benton scanned for naturally occurring energy anomalies that might help disguise the ship's warp signature. By chance, he noticed that the warp signature itself contained an anomaly: a regular pulse of tetryon particles emitted from the right nacelle that could be used to trace the ship.
Unwilling to risk being tracked and suspicious of foul play, Mr. Orenn reluctantly agreed that the ship had to stop and let an engineering crew inspect the replacement coils. While Ms. Yenzoc returned to the science labs to continue analyzing the technical readings of the mystery ships, the rest of the group joined Eris 8 aboard the bridge. The ship dropped to impulse in the middle of a sensor-scattering nebula and an engineering crew began searching for the faulty warp coil.
While hiding, the Sally Ride was indeed passed by a group of ships who had been following her at warp, picking up the trail of tetryon bread crumbs. The bridge crew modified a probe to create a false trail and mislead their pursuers. The faulty coil was located and replaced, and the ship warped out of the area before the tracker ships could double back. It should seem that the Sally Ride warped into the nebula and did a quick course correction to throw off any pursuit.
When the group inspected the faulty coil, it quickly became apparent that the tetryon pulse was no accident: it was the result of an ingenious modification incorporating elements of borg technology and Tholian design, but built mainly from equipment scavenged aboard the Sally Ride itself. There's no question now: someone aboard is still working against the rest of the crew, trying to get the ship captured.

Who made the trailer?
Well... CBS and Cryptic may disagree with me on this... but I put it together ;)
