Ask Dayton 44 – To Boldly Go and Die Hard

Ask Dayton 43 – Star Trek Time Cops Banging 20th century Porn Stars
Dear Dayton: I was just wondering: what are your feelings on the Timecop-style organizations we see in Voyager and Enterprise? You know, the Captain Braxton/Crewman Daniels guys? Some people think that they add a valuable dose of interesting sci-fi to the franchise while others (namely me) tend to think of them as poorly thought out continuity errors that make no sense. Where on the scale do you fall?

Ask Dayton 32 – Families On Starships
Dear Dayton: Last week there was quite a Katy-bar-the-door brouhaha on G and T about children on the Enterprise. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with right-thinking peoples that if a ship is going exploring into the unknown, where, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S OUT THERE, kids have no business on the ship, or with those silly-hearts who think the innocent little lambs should be placed in the way of meeting the Borg?
