That was inside the section 31 guy's mind so each pad was supposed to be a memory or something.

I think there's one thing we're forgetting about PADDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4H9nb03jI8

Figaro posted:Harry and Geordi are both pretty bad characters and the closest thing to the goon ideal. I always found it hilarious that he stayed an ensign for the entire series. I mean like half the crew was killed off in the first episode, you'd think some higher up positions would still be open even after the Maquis crew joining.

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:Good question. There was the episode (The Muse) where Jake wrote a lot of stories, but it turns out he wrote on paper (!) in that epsiode. There were also a bunch of episodes where he did his reporter thing, but I'm not enough of a sperg to trawl through them to find out what he did for sure. There was also an episode of Voyager where Chakotay writes on paper and Kneelix is shocked by this. So I'm guessing Kneelix can't write.

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:If by 'write' you mean 'handwrite' then I don't think that's such a suprising thing. Even today handwriting is far less common than it was in the past with the prevalence of computers/phones/tablets, so 300 years down the line I can see it dying out completely outside of hobbyists, kind of like calligraphy today. Which kind of makes it weird that humans at least still seem to be learning how to write then. Although there were only about two times it was shown so it might not be representative .

Archer did the exact same thing. Who's more insane, Archer or Janeway?

Mr. Horrible posted:As much as I enjoy TNG, you know that if they had written it back then Picard's crew would have come up with some hand-wavy to explain how they could get the original two people back and keep Tuvix. They probably would have tried to recreate the same circumstances that led to the Riker clone. If they remembered of course. Kitchner posted:No they admit that's what it does. It literally disintegrates you, stores you as data, transfer the data, and then remakes you on the other side. Except they handwave that away in a couple of episodes by claiming you can feel being in two places at once. There was also that episode where they stick Barclay in the transporter for extended periods to talk to some lifeforms or something.

Kitchner posted:That still doesn't explain why the universal translator sometimes doesn't translate other languages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc_cGueuZoA What I don't get about the universal translator is when they use them on away missions. Like the translator is built into the comm badge they wear right? So I can see it translating whatever the alien is saying and Picard can listen to it, but how the hell does it work for the alien if they don't have one too? If they're on a mission spying on some pre-warp society, then the aliens that they're talking to should be wondering wtf is going on because the strange man has a magic badge that does all the talking for him.

Chomp8645 posted:Not that it invalidates your point but the universal translator is in people's ears. That why civilians get everything translated and not just starfleet personnel. There is a scene in DS9 where Quark/Rom/Nog get their translators disrupted and are picking around in their ears with little tools to fix em. It still doesn't explain how anyone without a universal translator is able to understand them though.

Mr. Horrible posted:I just watched it for the first time and they ran out of material halfway into the second episode, they couldn't have kept it up even if they wanted to. Janeway hitting the reset button was the best part of that turd. DS 9 would have been better if it was set during the Bajoran Occupation.

Figaro posted:Malcolm always had this expression on his face like he was suffering a mild stomach upset. My favourite what a loser he was moment was in the episode where they meet an identical version of enterprise in the expanse but from a hundred years in the future and all the original crews descendants are running the ship. While everyone is meeting and greeting their relatives, Malcolm is all depressed because no woman had sex with him in his lifetime and so he doesn't have any descendents hah! Meanwhile over half the crew are related to Phlox The best part was when the other crew members try and cheer him up by pointing out that only a third of the crew is female. But then you find out that Archer got it on with some random alien woman so...
