I mean why do they have to kill Tuvix? That's some bullshit.

Cardassians are awful and stupid but I like their station design.

This show is loving awful but drat I like how Riker grins.

How do they just sit on the bridge all the time doing nothing??

Like the Captain sits in their chair and says helm take us on a course to *blank* Warp 9 engage and then what??

Do they just sit in the chair for hours like they're on a business class flight to Frankfurt??

They don't even have phones to play with!!

I honestly have never gotten an explanation for what they do for the full 8 or 6 hours on the bridge every shift and yes I've watched all the series except loving Enterprise or Discovery and I've read all sorts of memory alpha and whatnot. They have to just be playing charades or something to pass the time to not go crazy.

We talk badly about the thing, like we hate it.

But secretly we're fans.

But we're better than the other fans because we act like we hate it.

There were maybe 8 good episodes of ToS and even without the internet nerds managed to keep the show going for 50 years. This led to nerds learning that they could get what they wanted if they whined hard enough and was the beginning of the end of pop culture.

Why even walk or warp anywhere when you can teleport straight out of your sonic shower into your duty station. You don't even have to dress, the port can be programmed to give you whatever clothes you need for a mission. And no one has mananged to port a starship? Like scale the tech so you could save some time exploring this garbage bullshit universe?

They do actually, Sisko the Space Jesus has a dad who runs a crab shack, and he just cooks crab soup for people because he likes doing it.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
