Starbase Alpha

Have you seen any of "Sanctuary." I think that is a cool show.

Babylon 5 is going into the category of a "new classic." I personally think it raised the bar for SciFi.

Bumbers about Firefly. That show could have gone into some really interesting studies on morality, etc.

Hi,
I thought it was cool to see some of the original cast. I thought the season cliffhanger wasn't that good. That underground military installation had a bit of the "we don't know where to take the series" feel to me.

Happy to be of service.

I've wondered the same thing. We'll see if they do something on that.

I always got the impression that the countries on Earth were more like states within the United States of today.

I think that Rodenbury actually started off (in "The Cage" with Cpt. Pike) calling the Enterprise as you suggest. He then changed it to "U.S.S." so it would be more acceptable to the public. When asked what it stands for, he said "United Star Ship Enterprise."

Hello,
The "rules of the road" for this group are the straight forward "traditional" ones. I may update this posting as the need presents itself. However, should that happen, I will make a special post identifying this change.

Here are the guidlines:

1. Please keep posts charitable. Science fiction and fantasy are meant to generate discussion. However, please keep discussions civil. Threads which are more of a debate are welcome, but please keep on topic and no "personal attacks (ie. attacks on another's character, etc.). I do believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt, but continued abuse of this sort will be reported to CAF moderators.

2. On Fantasy Role-Playing Games (RPGs) Discussing RPGs is welcome in this forum. However, this is not the place to discuss the acceptability of RPGs (ie. "are they satanic") Discussions on plot ideas and game rules are fine as long as those threads do not actively attack Christianity in general or Catholicism specifically.

3. Advertisements are not permitted Starting threads or making posts which do unsolicited advertising is not permitted. If someone has a question on where a product (ie. a book) may be found, then responding to this request is fine (unless CAF has a rule against this).

I will make a PM to any one who violates this rules If need be, the offending message will be deleted. Continued violations will be reported.

Thanks in advance and enjoy the forum.
