The Yanks are back into slavery?

Heck, here I was thinking that their labour hiring practices were simply bad enough.

As for 'Q'? Never liked the character or the concept.

Old Star Trek handled its 'YARPies' (Yet Another Ridiculously Power full being) generally much better.

Q just came across to me as just a poor writer's excuse to simply make up whatever sheet they wanted. Bugger the setting, characters or plots in general.

50 million years is about a 1% margin of error when you're talking about 4.5 billion years.

Do you have anything to add to a discussion here or are you just going to tell us you ask questions?  Either interact or find a different playground.  You can go outside by yourself, can't you?

Out of curiosity, how long has your intellectualism been on strike?

As a reference back to the OP, the existence of elemental lead on Earth is a pretty convincing bit of evidence that this planet can’t be much less than 4.5 billion years old.
