What is a "sonic shower" and how does it work? Does it make you clean? Can you ever even get anything wet on a starship? How bad does everyone smell?

So what happens in the episodes where there can't get a good transport lock?

We all know the scenes where the target is kind of shifting in and out from the transporter pad, then the transport fails and the target is back where it started off. How does that one work if the transporter kills you and makes a copy? Also how did barkley wrestle some wack-rear end aliens in the transport stream?

I feel like the answer is "if transporters were real, they'd 100% kill you and make a copy. But in the fiction of the ST universe, they move you from point A to point B*"

*point B can also be back or forward in time, out of phase, in the mirror universe, or maybe you just get turned into a literal child

barkley was a great rebounder

"Someone in Janeway's family past owned land at some point" does not support these theories as much as you might think it does.

ssshh. shush. you dont try to convince smg and haki that theyre wrong—they exist to post funny misunderstandings of nerd pop media. you engage them by riffing off their posts,.or by giving them new material to bounce off of. trying to engage them directly in discourse is just going to lead you in circles

the picards make such incredibly good wine that the people of earth have decided its a good use of the land to enable them to keep making it as long as they are still willing. people are there to help w the harvest and winemaking because they want to meet picard himself, want to enjoy some demanding but not exceptionally strenuous outdoor activity, and/or want to learn how to make wine

Roddenberry was trying to create a utopia by merely taking the United States of the 1990s and substracting the things he didn’t like.

For example, Roddenberry didn’t like lawyers or criminals, so he proposed that that people deemed ‘criminals’ should be lobotomized without trial. But that didn’t end up in the show.

Who cares what they’re trying to do? There is no “try”.

roddenberry died in 1991

Wow, at first I was like "This person can't be as bad as Squizzle suggested" but i've just seen "This thing that I heard about that didn't make it in the show is cannon" so welp.

they arent bad but you have to treat them like ornate gimmick posters. their posts simulate real engagement but they are ultimately shtick, highly refined

Fun fact: Pat Stew really did gently caress up his back thanks to those uniforms. Same thing with Jeri Ryan on Voyager with those catsuits.

Trek costume designers should be sued for assault at this point.

roddenberry demanded the spandex uniforms all be a size too small, so that they would stretch to perfect smoothness when worn
