I like Pulaski more than Crusher but that's more a condemnation of Crusher for being extremely boring. The only good episode I can think of focused on her is the one with the warp bubble

The best explanation I've heard is that while basic needs and sufficient luxuries are freely available, if you want to satisfy intangibles like ambition or obtaining the respect of your peers, or something limited, like real estate, you better go get a job

Does Farsi spill over into Iraq? I thought pretty much all of Iraq spoke Arabic and Farsi was limited to Iran.

Sash! posted:Honestly, there's no freaking way the Academy is big enough to handle the sheer number of cadets you'd have to have to keep that fleet running, so a throwaway line to say he's basically in Space ROTC would make sense. What they don't tell you is that all of earth is basically one big college town for starfleet academy

After The War posted:The fact that they had been completely isolationist for decades before TNG Season 1 is one thing they (mostly) stuck with, it helped to keep some air of mystery about them. It's a very Federation thing to do to honor a non-proliferation treaty made with a state you haven't had diplomatic relations with for a generation, during which time you fight at least two wars and meet the borg e: and then continue honoring it through the entire dominion war too

Brawnfire posted:I think it would be great if eventually Fed ships were just big bridge bubbles in the middle of a wide saucer, with no visible engines. A bright transporter-ray would deposit away-teams onto the surface, to take specimens from local livestock and rural inhabitants for examination onboard. The Enterprise K will move itself entirely by using the transporters to transport everything but the transporters, then replicating a new transporter.

The original post for Darth Binks made the claim that it was probably something Lucas originally planned, but then backed away from after the Phantom Menace because making such a universally hated character a major focus of the next movies would have been a disaster. If anybody is making the claim that Jar Jar is the evil mastermind behind the prequels as they actually exist then that's pretty laughable.

Not being able to use contractions is the stupidest loving thing Linguistically they're not any harder to use than any other part of English. Unless he has the language literally hardcoded into him at a very basic level there's no reason he shouldn't be able to pick up contractions as easily as he picks up any other aspect of the language

Was it just a fan theory that each whole-number warp factor was supposed to represent some sort of physical breakpoint? Like, crossing the light barrier is hard, so that's warp 1. Then there's some other speed that's also hard to break, and that's warp 2. And there's 9 of these so warp 10 is infinite speed because that's the only remaining speed you can't reach by adding more power to existing technologies

I suspect that pointing your warp drive straight at a star is generally a bad idea. Normally, you're so far away from your destination that your path is completely empty, but for the DS9 episode in particular, I suspect the difference between succeeding and burning was like a very very very tiny fraction of a second at warp speeds

Well presumably the antimatter is being suspended in a vacuum with some sort of technobabble magic, and if that magic gets blasted by the enemy phasers, then the ship goes boom--even if you disconnect the antimatter containment from the engine, the antimatter even touching the containment device blows everything up.

shadok posted:Sure: slaves. The Klingon Empire isn't just the Klingon homeworld and Klingon colonies, it's all the slave species on tributary worlds within the Klingon borders. Kirk describes it thusly: I've always wondered how the various non-federation states work. Either they have a bunch of slave/subject species we never see, or the Klingon population must be much much much larger than the Human population, because it has to rival the combined efforts of all Federation member species.

What they didn't say is that behind the canon expert whose job was to say "no", there was an executive producer or something whose job was to say "gently caress you we're doing it anyway"

Xibanya posted:Wasn't that the one where he was made human? I thought she hated him because he led to the diaspora of her people via borg or something? I may be misremembering. Q Who is the one that introduced the borg. Q seems visibly shaken to see her, and warns Picard not to associate with her because she's more dangerous than she appears, or something like that Guinan being a more chill member of the Q continuum would make a reasonable amount of sense, I suppose.

Yeah obviously the point in-show is that she's mysterious, ancient, and probably has a lot more going on than meets the eye, but I assumed that by now STO or some lovely novel or comic would have removed all the mystery by just telling us what's up
