"at the end of it, what remains is that you know painfully little about Star Trek; and even less of scifi"
You're guessing, or are you pretending to be Q and added mind- reading to your many obvious talents ?
"My favorite TNG episode blah blah blah...and the moment of epiphany gives me chills...blah blah blah.... law, morality, religion, and ....blah blah blah says to the Captain there could be thousands,blah blah blah blah, you're talking about slavery,blah bla blah."
That's right Late, in Star Trek you will find the deepest questions for mankind, so eloquently expressed and communicated to the viewer that its epiphanous nature is unavoidable.
"There have been a few hundred Trek episodes, the really good ones can be counted without running out of fingers".
I agree with you. Star Trek fans can often be recognized by the fact that they use their fingers for counting.
"What you call cell phones, Star Trek called Communicators"
No shit, Sherlock. Did The Federation go back in time and give this technology to Al Gross when he invented the walkie- talkie in 1938 ?
"Btw, my Mother was a Star Trek fan, held an engineering degree, was an avid amateur astronomer, was a school teacher of mathematics, a chess club coach, and a reader of Scientific American."
I'm sure she is very nice, and probably thinks Star Trek is a lot of fun- with which I would have no argument.

Hi,
reduced to it's essence, your argument says Star trek can be fun; but no more. It cannot inspire, educate, or create wonder. As we have been pointing out, it can,has, and does. You lose.
- Yes, it is obvious. - john dem 23:09:50 12/01/01 (3)
  "It cannot inspire, educate, or create wonder"
  Perhaps in children, though you might be wise to first give them the ability to experience wonderment in the universe outside of TV.
  "You lose."
  Spoken like a true 6 year old, but you forgot the obligatory "Na- Na, Na-Na-Naaaaaaa"

    Hi,
    so now I have the intellectual maturity of a child. I provided a counterexample; and you provide this. Let you in on a secret....as a school bus driver; I get insulted fairly regularly. Over the years, something obvious finally occurred to me. When someone offers an insult; they are usually talking about themselves; or at least something they fear may be true.
    - Yawn...it must be late. - john dem 13:58:05 12/02/01 (1)
      "so now I have the intellectual maturity of a child."
      No,I suspect you've had it for some time.
      "Let you in on a secret....as a school bus driver;(Do you say "Engage!" when you start 'er up ?- just trying to get back on topic) I get insulted ......"
      If the kids are insulting you, let me let you in on some common knowledge: it's not possible to feel offense or be somehow damaged by the mere words of children, unless there's another meaning to the word "insult" you've invented. Maybe the kids just don't like you.
      If there's adults insulting you, maybe they don't like you either.
      "......fairly regularly."
      No surprises there.
      "When someone offers an insult; they are usually talking about themselves; or at least something they fear may be true."
      IKYABWAI doesn't work outside of a school bus, Late.
      (Do you have a "I stop for Borg Cubes" sticker on the back of the bus ?)
