Another show that was based on a movie was "The Galileo Seven".
It was based on the old movie "Five Came Back".

Well I finished the series.
Season 7 was interesting, The Founders issue was not settled at all (as we find out later). Neither are the Cardassians, or the Romulans for that matter.

I've seen quite a few of the cars on the list, probably 9.
Of all the cars, the one I would LOVE to own is the Citroen DS. I love those cars. Very different, very French. |

The Peel p.50.
Watching Jeremy Clarkson road test it on Top Gear is some funny TV!

I read this book last month.
Sort of Science Fiction, but close in time Sci Fi.
It's an interesting plot, something new and different.
some interesting plot structure and characters, add in a f ... |

The season 1 Blish Novelizations were adapted from very early versions of the screenplay. I believe that was done to have the books in bookstores early in the shows run.
The writing on Star Trek w ... |

The early Blish books (season 1) were adapted from the screenplays, but very early versions of the screenplays.
Many have plot points that never made it to the final draft.
I wonder if it was the ... |

Thats another hard NOPE!
It looks cool, but I can see a lot of ways to die in it.
And 40 minutes at a MAX speed of 120MPH gives it a theoretical max range of 80 miles. Add in the energy to take ... |

Having waited hours in line on the opening day of Star Wars, I can say that this movie was not like that.
My wife and I sat in theater with less than 10 people in it.
It just shows the problem ... |

After sleeping on it,
My disappointment with the movie grows.
As I said, the Chani character is slightly changed.
But so is Stilgar. It's a subtle change, but a powerful one.
There is one ... |

Went to see it today.
I don't want to give any spoilers.
I give it a 6.5 out of 10.
The cinematography was excellent, I thought Chani was kind of weak. I didn't love how they handled the whol ... |

I don't think I would trust it below 100 ft. I think I would be uncomfortable going below 50 ft. |

This guy stole my idea! I've always wanted to do this.
Like him I would keep as much on the outside as possible.
Whats the rated depth? |

While I don't disagree with you, Axanar crossed a line.
They were profiting from Paramount/CBS's property.
They crowd sourced over $1 million to build a studio.
They were selling unlicensed S ... |
