I ate a lot of C-Rations in the Army years ago. I actually liked some of that stuff. (Don’t tell anybody). These gun nut sites, like the one you mentioned, get under my skin, however. Civilian wannabes.

Anyway, if you’re interested in emergency rations, you might google “mayday bars.” It’s lifeboat food developed by the Coast Guard. Pretty handy.

Many of the key conflicts resolved over the course of Star Trek eliminating defining struggles. Data’s quest to be a real boy was practically complete. He:

  • had an emotion installed
  • deeply integrated into human society
  • gave his life so others may live

Look-a-like B-4 replaced Data and that struggle to develop can be explored again.

Here’s what I put on Facebook last night after I got home:

I suspect that the way the timeline is handled in this film will allow Paramount to remake the history of STAR TREK from scratch in as many films as they think audiences will pay to see.

The U.S.S. Enterprise blew up and didn’t take out half the San Francisco Bay Area with it? :) )

Was it really necessary to provoke my sense of nostalgia for “Baghdad by the Bay”, in or near which I lived for 14 years? :(
