Most often, comment posts on the website where the podcast is hosted aren’t prevalent. Here I am to break the silence.
So I just wanted to say that I tried listening to other Star Trek podcasts. I won’t name names, (except for the most understatedly suckish one, being The Warp Factor) but jokingly, I almost felt a sense of betrayal listening to another ‘Trek podcast. I’ve been a HUGE listener of TWiT, and it didn’t take many episodes for me to fall in love and feel like I’d been listening to it for awhile and felt like it was home.
To sum up my experience with the other couple of ‘Trek podcasts and the painfully wearisome one in particular? Quirkily stated, they’re nothing short of a blown new warp-engine right out of space dock. Had to shut the freshly excreted, smelly crap right off before the delusional host flicked me off, any more.
God bless TWiT for its many details of why it friggin’ rocks, and is the best Star Trek podcast in the galaxy and beyond. I won’t gloriously elaborate on these details as you’d have to buy up more web-space…
Lookin’ forward to listening to this new thirty-fourth episode!
There have been some zero-G scenes in Star Trek. The first that comes to mind is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country were a klingon ship has it’s artificial gravity knocked out during the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon. Screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41720073/klingon.jpg
And in the pilot episode of Enterprise we find out that every ship has a “sweet spot”, halfway between the gravity generator and the bow plate, were there is no gravity. Screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41720073/enterprise.jpg
I haven’t read any technical manuals but I can imagine that the artificial gravity and the inertia dampeners might be part of the same system. If so, knocking out gravity on a moving ship might turn the crew into soup.
