Just watched the TNG where Geordie and Ro Laren get stuck out of phase and I thought, you know how hard it is to get all your accounts reactivated when you come back to work after extended leave? Imagine that but from being dead.

The Enterprise D had "1000 - 6000" occupants, and one ship's councillor. Assuming 1000 occupants, eight timeslots a day, and no time off, you're looking at one appointment every 3 months. Given the amount of time spent Deanna spent on the bridge or on away teams or doing the entire ship's crew evaluations (?) that's probably wildly optimistic.

Gatts posted:Sometimes I wonder what poo poo the other ships got up to. Like at one point is it just the Enterprise that has this wierd poo poo happen to them all the time because they're explorers or what about the strange tales of random other ships. Like do we hear Picard or Sisko or anyone ever go "Hey did you hear the Crazyhorse crew got imprisoned on a planet of strippers where they turned out to be all turnips from the 5th dimension?"

Basically the Star Trek universe is Weird, and the Enterprise seems especially weird but actually it's just survivor bias. Maybe that's the problem. People keep sticking The Best of The Best of The Best on the Enterprise and they only leave when they die, so every other ship gets murdered by space dragons because everyone who could have saved them are busy scrubbing cooling ducts and waiting for Geordie to finally bite it for real this time.

Applewhite posted:Wasn’t there a woman who imprinted on him and became his perfect mate but she was in an arranged marriage? My favourite part of that episode is that the guy she's marrying is all "I'm not really into the creepy sex empath thing I'm just here for the politics" which is kind of exactly who you'd want her to end up with anyway? No wait my favourite part is where because she can't be around men so they lock her up all alone in her quarters instead of e.g. sending pointedly heterosexual Dr Crusher by with a bottle of wine and some true crime box sets.

Just watched the episode with the girl who turned out to be a Q. And then remembered the Voyager episode where they make a big deal of the first new Q born in infinity forever.

My Lovely Horse posted:Well, it introduces an interesting moral question - "when, if ever, is lethal force justified" - and it highlights a somewhat terrifying aspect of Data's character, namely that he's perfectly capable of becoming a killing machine based on cold logic alone. Those alone make for good sci-fi. But while it's a good exploration of an android character in sci-fi, it's a bit out of character for Data specifically, and arriving at the conclusion that "sometimes killing is the only way" is also somewhat off-message for (classic) Star Trek. And the episode doesn't really get close enough to that central moral question to justify that slight deviation, in my opinion. I'd have expected Data to escape with some ingenuity, but they made the villain out to be a little too capable at every turn. Also "Killing is only justified for the idle rich" is a very Star Trek message.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:I basically dont like the lower decks implication that starfleet academy is just space hamburger university, as in it’s a total joke because your real job will consist of shovelling poo poo. in other treks we see that cadets do have problems but their problems are that they have sticks up their asses and want to do things by the book, or theyre overconfident and smug because they’re at an elite training facility. Your starfleet job will not consist of shovelling poo poo and being treated like a moron because this is a world in which unpleasant, pointless activities have been automated so the only reason a cadet would have to do that is out of spite. There IS something wrong with the premise of cadets doing grunt work (and being hated for it). The premise is a reflection of how stupid, pointless, idiotic, spiteful and degrading jobs are today, and this trek says hey, it will be like this forever, gently caress you It gets disintegrated and stored as raw material for the replicator. Everything you eat is 1% riker cum. Earl grey tea, hot

Prism Mirror Lens posted:They move barrels with the hoverboard thing though so even that isn’t equivalent to hard warehouse work or anything. It’s probably done in 20 minutes and your senior officer is like good job ensign, now help me reconfigure the space doodad which is what you’re actually trained to do. And since senior officers are constantly letting random invasive space goos loose throughout the ship and other such massive gently caress ups, it doesn’t really make sense that people would get mad at ensigns for doing the same thing. I just don’t like people in trek being mean to each other and trying to deceive each other!! Trek is a beautiful dream of a workplace where nobody judges you, people help each other out in the spirit of intellectual curiosity, and your boss cares about you.

There's the one DS9 episode where Keiko comes home and he's turned their bedroom into his private workshop.
