If a bunch of Vulcans hang out together long enough, do they synchronize their Pon Farr like human fffeeemales do with their menstrual cycles?

Also, where does the electricity come from on the Enterprise? Our real life USS Enterprise is, as we know, powered by eight nuclear fission reactors, but a nuclear reactor is really just a boiler for a steam engine that you never have to stoke. The actual electricity comes from a steam turbine.

Does the starship Enterprise have a steam turbine hooked up to the matter/antimatter reactor someplace?

Why do human ships try to pretend their main gun is really a "censor"?

Non-human ships see things just fine without a big bulls-eye in the middle. And they 'convert' it shoot a big space laser like every four episodes.

That's a gun, guys. Why are you lying?

the matter/antimatter reactor is just to power the warp drive. the star trek universe have invented micro fusion generators like fallout, most of the electricity comes from those

Speculating here but I assume the holodeck would have to allocate more resources per Troi spawned, so after maybe a dozen or so they will be increasingly more retarded

Troi is already pretty stupid so you probably wouldn't notice any difference until like 30 or 40 trois.

Well his wife moved to some remote planet with some other dude to do...botany? for a year or two.

Yes, o'brian's wife cheated on him by sleeping with the future version of him after the original died. (I think that might have happened two separate times, getting a replacement o'brian from another timeline)

At the very least I find it highly dubious that Klingons would develop space travel.
The Krogan from Mass Effect are a much more satisfying and realistic take on the Klingons, IMO.

They use plasma conduits. It's just like electrical wiring except it explodes and kills people on the bridge everytime the ship is jostled.
