Monday, July 20. 2009Trek West 5 Podcast 26: New Season, New Sponsors, New Format
We have now arrived at what may be the best season of Star Trek The Next Generation yet, season 5. We also have decided to shake things up and move to a new format where we only discuss 3 episodes as a way of reducing total podcast time. I am not sure how successful we were on this one though, but come on we were talking about Darmok and we had a plethora of guests. We are also proud to announce that we have new sponsors!!! The following websites have now started sponsoring us: RocketWebDesign.com and GetAScent.com. You should definitely take a look. Lastly, we are no longer going to have a weeks delay from the time of recording to podcast posting. So we will be recording on Friday and posting on Monday. Let's see how long that lasts. ;)
We had 3 special guests for this podcast: my friend New York Maria, Aaron, and Jared. Our thanks to them for participating. This podcast covers episodes 1-3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Hidden prejudices Would you be a concubine? Stump Jared - What is the name of the bumps on a raspberry? The epic of Gilgamesh Communication by metaphor What would you give your life for?

Johnny Elbows on :
In the Ender series, Orson Scott Card makes a good point. He points out that in 3 dimensional space, defense is unsustainable. Creating defenses that will work in 3 dimensions would be so expensive that the only practical response to war is an attack in kind.
Because of this, while a detector net is a cool idea, it is impractical. Radar on :
Yeah, I knew it would never work. I just needed Ender to tell me so.
