Mandatory retraining is great. A guy I knew went from being a cable dawg to manpower.

For a second I though that was the Discovery seeing as how we've seen jackshit of it since the lovely CGI trailer.

Someone probably put a lot of thought into making that surface look like it might actually have something to do with controlling whatever whoever sits there is doing, but one of the few (I think) perfect Trek things is that LCARs and the TNG panels may not make any loving sense, but they look so good for that aesthetic that I just don't think that rates.Arglebargle III posted:Why would you do this?

Watching Who Watches the Watchers. It's from a few years after Watchmen but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the phrase was just bouncing around the cultural consciousness in the late 80s.

The subtitle thing is still happening. GeordI: " But what I don't understand is why a three-man station would need a reactor capable of producing 4.2 gigawatts." Subtitle: "But why does a three-man station need a 4.2 gigawatt reactor?"

Apparently anthropology now includes the study of intelligent non-humans, which I find weird because the name just means "study of humans."

It was smart to have these Romulans openly talking about and displaying their emotions right away so we wouldn't mistake them for Vulcans. Wait no they're not Romulans are they? They're the Mandalklans that were being studied.

Well one of the Mandadklanpins just went up, saw all their futuristic equipment, and tased himself on it, now everybody's violating the prime directive. Oopsy daisy!

Lol the Mintydankians found one of the researchers, I love how every single thing they do to try and maintain the prime directive is failing one after another.

I feel like I need to defend O'Brien, because he transferred to the job of Transporter Chief. The Ent-D had 20 transporter rooms (I'm not sure if that counted the cargo transporters). Even if you assume half of them aren't in operation at any given time that' still three shifts for 10 rooms for 7 days a week. O'Brien was in charge of at least 80 people. TNG's budget being what it is all of those people were always on special assignment in cetacean ops when the episodes were filming.

Just started DS9 S3 and before they even showed another Changeling, I had already suspected Dax, O'Brien, and Bashir of being changelings. in hind sight they were all in a simulation, but i was convinced E: it was awesome that you think the A-plot is happening on the other side of the galaxy from the B-plot but it was really 100 meters away

The acting's bad, sure, but I like how the episode is so straightforward in showing why the prime directive exists.

Our own history has examples of nontheistic religions and even outright atheism in the ancient world, they just didn't really take off. I don't see why they might not have had history developed differently.

Even in spite of the Mantanguran's bad acting I'm still empathizing with her being brought to what seems like a god's domain.
