A new source of Oil.

Just now joining the conversation. Star Trek Discovery is in my top two favorite Star Trek series.

It has:

I’ll go out on a limb here an say most of TNG was just plain boring. There were a few interesting episodes but for the most part, boring. Every series after that followed suit until Discovery.

To me, it feels like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Star Trek Original Series, and some of the Star Trek movies (new and old), and the result is great. The tie-in to the pilot was genius and basically solidified my opinion of the show.

Though, it must be blindingly bright everywhere on the ship with all of those lens flares. Even J.J. Abrams admited he over used it; why is this series doing the same? “Captain, getting those readings for … arrrgggh, the console is as bright as the sun!”

By the way I once visited the Washington Navy Yard, where one of the Enterprise’s anchors is on display. � That was a real treat to see.

I was in Seattle last year and looked out onto the Sound and knew that the navy yard was just a few miles across the way. Wish I could have gotten over there.

Um, I was referring to Washington D.C.  I’d love to visit the naval facilities in the Puget Sound area, but the only place on the West Coast where I’ve been is San Diego – which I was lucky enough to visit at the day when the USS Midway crossed over to the pier where she became a museum ship.  I still have the CV-41 baseball cap I picked up as a souvenir.

My apologies, I thought you were talking about Bremerton, WA. I didn’t know that DC had a navy yard, being on a river and all.

let’s not start calling any person’s faith fairy tales.  It’s somewhere the site admin does not want us to go and I can see nothing good coming from such a comment - discussion wise.

The book Miracle at Midway includes an unintentionally amusing quote from Miller himself describing the ceremony at which he was decorated.  Miller, whose spelling was a bit unorthodox, wrote about how moved he felt when Nimitz pinned the Navy Cross on his “heaving busom”.

5. Flytech Bladestar. Now you can actually make something fly with the Flytech Bladestar Indoor Flyer, a creation by WooWee. It has a life-size and a big LCD screen. For those that do, the ratings are: TV-Y7: directed toward kids 7 years and older (kids who are able to distinguish between make-believe and reality); may contain “mild fantasy violence or comedic violence” that may scare younger kids

YES! USA ARMY RANGERS beat KOREAN SPECIAL FORCES!

Havn’t watched the episode, the outcome seemed easy to predict.

and if we manage HALF that? 2 billion barrels! big initial investment for sure but i see it as a no brainer

I like to put my IC in Kwang because if the nasty little americans get long range air craft, they can reach any ships you build out of japan from AK. If its on Kwang then newly built ships can be out of range. Also its farther away from russia, but not that far from moscow. Plus I like it because if its on Manchiria, its on the front lines. When in Kwang if the russians americans or british make an offencive it can still hold out.
