ST-v-SW.Net: The Blog. Quick Notes, Personal Observations, and Other Vs. Debate Miscellany. My Force Awakens Review. Doesn't exist yet, because, in the fine tradition of my not bothering to see Star Trek: Into Darkness.

L]et's remember we've actually seen a starfleet captain, on his own initiative, bomb a planet to drive out the population, and relieve no censure for it from Starfleet.

ST-v-SW.Net: The Blog. Quick Notes, Personal Observations, and Other Vs. Debate Miscellany. New Post Series - SMoST. SMoST stands for "Some Mistakes of Star Trek".

Ben Sisko is a racist.

It just ian't a good idea to isol...
