Fan Theories Nine

The Klingon empire.....
.......almost joined the Federation but left as a result of a military coup which ended their brief experiment with democracy. Planets conquered by the Klingons either joined the Federation or became part of the Klingon Neutral Zone. 

The series "Humans" and "Space: Above and Beyond" are set in the Star Trek universe. The AI War was later referred to as "world war three" and was an attempt by the Synths to increase their number.

The Klingons are really Augments, genetically modified humans who left Earth during the Eugenics War. These Augments conquered a number of planets and created the Klingon empire. Elements of the conquered culture's religions ended up becoming adopted by the Klingons. 

 Vulcan Intelligence deliberately started the Earth-Romulan_War. 

 This was done by providing Earth with Vulcan technology. When Earth ships started exploring and setting up outposts near the Romulan border, the Romulans attacked believing they were preventing a Vulcan preemptive strike. 

 Vulcan-Romulan hostilities (presumably previous?) had been established in Star Trek: Voyager.  

 Vulcan's reasoning was that this would have prevented a greater conflict between Earth and Vulcan on one side and an alliance between the Romulan and Andorian empires on the other.

Considering the common Vulcan disdain for humans and Starfleet, is Vulcan really a Federation member?

Ditto Trill and Betazed as they clearly have caste-based systems.

The Federation and Starfleet came up with the Prime Directive after Earth was contacted by the The Culture.

The United Federation of Planets is really the GFCF from Surface Detail. Like the Culture, the United Federation of Planets uses alien mercenaries, but in this case as diplomats (i.e. Vulcans, Trills and others).In return, members of these species are allowed to join Starfleet as if they were Federation citizens.

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan Theories Seven

Star Trek's  Data had a field commission before attending Starfleet Academy. This website points out that    Data  joined Starfleet shortly (2341 CE) after being rescued but was still at the academy in 2378*. If both dates** are correct then perhaps Data didn't become a officer until 2278 because he joined as an enlisted man. At some point either he was required to serve on the bridge or as part of an away team. Both require an officer's commission to participate so I would imagine that Data was given a field commission by his commanding officer (the captain of the Trieste?) in order to do so. To be promoted further Data then had to attend the academy. It is possible that Miles  O'Brien went through the same process but that he declined academy attendance in order to take the position of Transporter Chief on the USS Enterprise-D. On closer inspection I appear to be wearing loafers. *The first series of Star Trek: The Next Generation a...

The Empire

Returns and Strikes back! An idea I had for consistently re-booting the "prequel" Star Wars trilogy-is to completely forget what was filmed!  Although it starts of similar to the phantom menace the main thrust of the plot is that the Jedi believe the Sith have returned and are concerned about the sect targeting Anakin Skywalker.  Anakin is a baby at this point. But everything else....the Jedi try to battle the Sith grand master but he is such a formidable foe that they are forced to create a clone army just to fight him. They end up provoking a rebellion in the outer rim territories and a sizable anti-jedi movement in the senate. The rebels then create their own clone army and are actually invited to conquer the Jedi Centre by the senate. The sith grand master is actually Palpatines former teacher. Palpatine was rejected by the Sith when he became a senator for various blah reasons. The senate are an advisory body and two thirds of its members ...
