In fairness Scotty is the man who protests that he cannot change the laws of physics whilst simultaneously travelling around the galaxy in a space craft that can go many times faster than the speed of light...

Its a plot device that stops stories and films etc running in real time lol if it was real and the speed of light was as fast as ships could go well 8 years there and back to our closest star. So any further would require hibernation devices, or generation ships. Startrek is sci-fantasy not hard science fiction which could become true.
Anyway loved the film and despite a few flaws I think its one of the best Trek films of the lot so far.
Regards Neil
It's also well known that the transporter was a plot device to accommodate instant 'arrivals' as the original ST budget didn't go far enough to create ship landings.

I watched The Sweeney (Film) today and whilst I know many with you are not fans, I thought it was pretty good.

What complete web of lies and deceit woven by the police, coroner, judges and politicians involved in everything following the Hillsborough disaster. I'm so ashamed.

Yes - it left a bad taste in my mouth as well. 24 years on and we are only now unearthing the truth!
At times, I'm ashamed of my country.

Really don't know what to make of this. I have never seen the original 'Play For Today' or the stage version, but I recall the furore that surrounded it at the time. Nothing was remotely realistic or believable about it and graphic sexual dialogue is pretty old hat nowdays. Or was it meant to be some adolescent fantasy along the lines of 'If...' - not really sure.
