Yeah? The boy is portrayed as a super genius. Also, being allowed to do poo poo on a flagship while incredibly stupid should be a case in favor of being let into the academy.

my point is that if he's doing that he should be getting more than a handful of credits that he could probably also get doing a creative writing module on Binars or something.

TNG had lame rear end Worf getting his rear end kicked. DS9 had Worf as a sufficient badass and some good moments. Like when he snapped Weyon's neck, another Weyoun clone comes out and the Cardassian Damarr makes a crack poking fun at him for being killed and go try talking to Worf again.

Some Kanar with Damarr.



the best hard word moments are that double-parter where he's taking on a poo poo loads of enemies in that battle area while Gurak is fagging out behind a wall.

perhaps

if the future people still use slaves to mine dilithium to power its starships replicator technology might be able to make complicated molocules but only at a net energy loss otherwise the economics wouldnt make sense

Why don't they just replicate like 10000 star trek battleships and staff them all with gaggles of belligerent space rednecks? The command ships can have the smart, trained crews to point them towards da borgz

He wasn't even on the ship when it crashed it that movie. Wasn't his fault man.

Yes but he went down to a planet by himself to fistfight an old man with he himself being an older man in the hot desert sun instead of staying where the captain belongs - namely with his ship - so you can easily argue his decision making skills are flawed at best.

Yeah. I really don't get why they don't just have giant replicators that spit out starships during wartime. And genetically engineered JJ Watts and Brock Lesnars, just run them a million times through the transporters and let them loose on the Dominion.

I think the post-scarcity society meant all the cool spaceships startfeet could want, and so many people were just like "man in this great utopia nothing would bring me more satisfaction than building enterprises for troi to blow up" so jean luc got carte blanche in the ship department but I haven't read the series bible in a few months so let me get back to you when I have sources

They used to have engineered super people but they tried to take over and now it is a bad thing to do.

they can do it they just choose not to, the federation basically exists to keep humans from going off the deep end and taking all their tech to the obvious extreme and become interstellar hitlers. they sign a treaty that says feds can't use cloaking devices, then they go and make the best cloak ever that can make a ship go through solid matter, then they lose it because that's how things go down in the federation.

Kirk is the best captain because of that episode where this civilization has a simulated war between the two major powers but people are selected by computers on both sides to die and have to report to disintegration chambers and in order to stop this madness from happening he tells the Enterprise to glass the planet from orbit unless they agree to a peace treaty. Kirk gets what Kirk wants.

My favorite DS9 episode is where they won't let Worf mercy-kill his Klingon brother so they decide to instead brain wipe him and tell him he's someone else because that's far more morally right

The sailing episode was really lame, but DS9 had the best filler episodes and the baseball one was one of the best along with the one where the have to rob the holodeck casino.

what if they didn't genetically modify them, just clone a bunch of vanilla brock lesnars. might be a problem though because there's no way to ensure that they just wont go 'gently caress it' and become deep space fry cooks or something.

maybe they should clone bautistas instead, the same way police departments don't recruit people above a certain iq
