Trying to think of it in terms of the real world is senseless.

It’s can also be fun 😎

Since Picard 3 it’s canon that the transporter is a meat printer that relies on cached DNA to do shallow copies.

Hacking that cache was the big plot reveal of how the borg-changelings infiltrated starfleet.

ENT 04x07 The Forge might be the earliest human mindmeld and the recipient is brain damaged and comatosed:

SOVAL: He's comatose, brain-damaged, and he's human. A mind-meld is dangerous under the best of conditions, but under these…

Later

SOVAL: I don't know if this has ever been attempted with a human before.

SOVAL: My mind to your mind. Our minds are one. Our thoughts are joined. Yes.

SOVAL: I see what you see. The embassy. I'm at my station. At your station. So many new people arriving for the summit. I don't recognise them all, but some I know. A package. That's all right. I don't need to see it. Go right through. Who are you? Who?

Thanks fam, I’m gonna check it out. Love me some ENT 😎

Shamelessly stolen from imgur. I too have no honor

Wish I could remember the DS9 episode where they are cloaked and hunting convoys; someone wonders “is this honourable?” and is answered to the effect “Honour is winning, duh”

ENT is a great beneficiary of picard shitting the bed for 3 seasons 😎

Such a good episode 😎

Now just what in the hell is that doing there?

Edit: not sure you can make out the blurry captain of the Orville here getting scolded on the Enterprise

Where now the horse and the rider?

Did you miss “tranq”, short for tranquilizer? It’s pretty native and modern sounding right? That being said ya the list is disappointing

It's hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it's also a school.

White Squall. In space. 🤞

Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi

Shinzon: dna manipulated by vengeful romulans

Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that

 

Well, mostly agree on 😉

 

I hope this works, the file didn't upload the first time I tried. These are the cool weapons I've used up to chapter 4: wintry rapier, azure dragon crescent glaive, booster glaive, and etiquette.

This game is great 🤌

Record a record? Convict a convict? What an annoying concept.

At least irregular verbs are drifting away, that’s a pleasant surprise.

B5 gang, you're my only hope.

 

why's it so hard 😭

 

I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.

 
 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?
