Sue Durnim Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 ...on the ?Star Trek? TV series, from the Original Captain Kirk onwards, in their future they invented communicators, sliding doors, they can travel vast distances at warp factors, move people and items to where ever with their fantastic transporter beams, they can transplant human brains, cure all illness, have phaser and photon weapons of all descriptions, force fields to protect the ship, they can travel back and forward into time, journey through black holes, the list goes on. So how come they cannot find a cure for hair loss e.g. Jean-Luc Picard, Captain of the famous star ship the Enterprise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egbert Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The occasional episode of Star Trek had a reasonably "adult" plot, but in the main they were pretty juvenile. Never seen Star Wars because it was obviously pretty juvenile from its publicity. Science fiction does not adapt well on screen. Several excellent novels have been ruined by the movie makers. As to the baldness, some scientists predict that eventually mankind will become completely bald. This seems a reasonable assumption as the hair on our heads is all that remains of what once covered our entire bodies. So probably a "cure" for baldness is not possible, nor even desirable. And I speak as one who is still reasonably well thatched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Prefered the old Star Trek with Kirk, Bones and Spock etc; but I suppose it wouldn't do to have them still walking round with zimmers now! As for defoliation, thought that was the trend anyway, with bald armpits and brazilians etc?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Durnim Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 observer, someone told me that a brazilian, is a few more than a million, not sure what they meant or by how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Enjoyed both - but the original Star Trek is still the best - beam me up Scotty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Better than Star Wars? With Harrison Ford in THOSE pants? Nothing is better than that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 what i find amusing is that despite all their weaponry that can level a planet from the other side of the galaxy, hand weapons that can turn a thirty foot block of steel into a small pile of glowing ash, when it comes down to the final showdown it back to the good old fisticuffs. it holds true for both star wars and star trek.
