I imagine that yes indeed it is bio warfare, and if you want to look at it that way, genocide. I believe Dr. Crusher did not like it. If memory serves.<br /><br />THe lack of firewalls in the 24th c is hilarious.Tangentialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07839416779528113603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-81328747249418019632009-05-10T12:02:00.000-04:002009-05-10T12:02:00.000-04:00Oh, and I almost forgot--the idea of infecting the Borg collective with a virus via nanites! Would that be the moral equivalent of biological warfare?Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-88519474696707833432009-05-10T11:29:00.000-04:002009-05-10T11:29:00.000-04:00Not to forget ST-TNG's Contagion (the episode where the Iconian computer started to overwrite the Enterprise's system--what NO computer firewalls in the 24th century? NONE?), and ST-Voyager's phage, which of course was an actual, flesh- and guts- and genetic-material-eating virus.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-31827832232923352102009-04-27T23:49:00.000-04:002009-04-27T23:49:00.000-04:00@videostudentguy, if you have not watched the show you ought to, it is really incredible. The character development, the directing, the acting, the writing and the effects are amazing. I imagine we will stray away from BSG some now that the show is over. Caprica just came out so we may touch on that. Frankly, wherever the liquor takes us.....Dave Brodbeckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11047006438197726412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-77262894065466643282009-04-18T12:59:00.000-04:002009-04-18T12:59:00.000-04:00Ken, thanks for mentioning the Takeshi Kovacs series. Grim storyline but great fodder for discussing the practical aspects of immortality. Who would have ever considered a cancer of the soul.<br /><br />I also wanted to add a link to a review about BSG's series finale from a special effects perspective. Show #73 of The VFX Show (http://www.pixelcorps.tv/node/736) reviews the plot but more importantly puts in perspective the impact that this show has on series TV Science Fiction, or film for that matter. <br /><br />I'm thinking I should get the first season DVDs and try it out.<br /><br />Thanks for putting out the shows guys.videostudentguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02549099895768874794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-87073475349946394572009-04-08T21:45:00.000-04:002009-04-08T21:45:00.000-04:00That is an empirical question if I ever heard one....dbrodbeckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09021807925215121830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-43960420368177137852009-04-08T20:34:00.000-04:002009-04-08T20:34:00.000-04:00Bah... fine, have it your way and ruin the dramatic effect.

I just noticed -- we have seven episodes so far this year, which is more then we did in 2008 or 2007. We must be on some sorta role! ;)Ken Herndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12411342397518986618noreply@blogger.com
