  • It also follows that, under these constraints, the captain, likely the role on the ship with the least turn over, would have the most customized shit. When the ship is in drydock, some lower deckers get transferred to other stations, and new ones come aboard, but the captain is pretty much always just hanging out. Makes sense they'd use that time for hobbies, and that they'd want that stuff in their quarters, which are, for the captain moreso than any other crew member, their home

  • I think you mean Cordry rocks. Their non-centrosymmetry disrupts the charged leptons in the isolinear pathways of the main deflector.

  • As with all things, Starfleet of course has the have the unstable, bleeding edge version on their spaceships. I'm sure Vulcan holodecks are much safer lol

    I do think we're supposed to recognize that Rom is actually very skilled though. We see it through Nog's opinion of him, and how well he does after he joins the Bajoran maintenance crew, despite his first initial awkward interactions. And restrictions often improve creativity in real life, so it makes sense to me that he'd have some unique skills, compared to engineers from Earth, who are used to being able to requisition anything they need eventually. You even see some of it aboard Starfleet ships, like when Geordie meets Leah Brahms, and has to defend all the changes he's made to the warp engines on the fly, or in the Upper Decks episode of Lower Decks, when Billups is teaching the ensign about maintenance.

    It's part of the whole idea of the show, that these other people, even ones we might not initially get along with, have valuable perspectives. "Infinite diversity, in infinite combinations."

  • Data makes the perfect +, because his brain is made from Positrons!

  • IIRC, they often use the same casing as for torpedoes (which Star Fleet does also use as coffins)

  • Maybe that is the driving force of life in the universe .... to want to get it on with anybody and everybody no matter the species.

    I believe the Vulcans call that, "Infinite diversity, in infinite combinations."

  • Salt vampire?

  • IIRC, there's a line at the end of those episodes about the Klingons doctor working on restoring appearances. Guess they were at the back of the queue

  • It could probably translate some slang, but this type is context-basef, like Tamarian. We could assume a Federation translator would know that context, but who knows what knowledge was lost in the 21st century?

  • Could be fun to explore their caste system, and definitely not interfere with it! 😉

  • That explains his approach with Alexander

  • Maybe he's just overcompensating. He doesn't want to accidentally do something the prudish humans will find offensive

  • And when she does actually ask Picard about the earring at the end, they don't even give Patrick Stewart a line, because it's obvious she's going to be allowed to wear it

  • I just watched the episode recently! My friend and I were wondering if the whole idea for the story came from the word play lol

  • Keiko is getting possessed again, just in time for parent-teacher conferences!

  • It's funny Weyoun is Gluttony, when Vorta barely even have a sense of taste. 6 really must have been defective

  • So much so that they tried to use it as legal precedent in Una's augment's rights case in SNW
