But sadly it seems except for the end of the series the borg part was basically am excuse to bring in 7 of 9. I would have also like to have seen that fluidic space concept flushed out more

I'd love for them to bring in a new show based off trying to explore that. There are opportunities for a whole new storyline new types of characters.

My dad while he was never physical. He had really bad ptsd from his time in Vietnam and drank and was emotionally and verbally abusive. The people who were physical was my mom's dad and her brother. Even tho she was an adult they'd both smack her if they felt she stepped out of line and would beat the hell out of my sister and me.

Not kidding at all. A good man, through and through.

I've seen some of the things he saw as a child, and he's been a much more effective advocate about the issue than I have, and I have so much respect for that.

It bothers me that we can hear 100 examples of how society hurts minorities (including women who are actually in the majority in this country) but only when a white male agrees is it taken seriously.

The people in charge ( and we all play a role here) are not being tough enough. This bullshit should be condemned by all people of all races, nationalities, cultures, religions, or lack thereof, and anyone that loves life, human beings and sex.

Why? Because when I was a young Mormon at "General Conference" in Salt Lake City, brainwashed me had an epiphany. "Who are these old white men telling us all what to do?". Seriously, most of them looked ready to drop dead and their souls were pretty much drained of all life. Of course I stayed in the cult for a few more years before hightailing it outta there.
