The federation preaches tolerance, yet every time anyone meets a ferengi they open with something like "Your duplicitous schemes and beady eyes won't work on me! You were born from slime on a planet of mud. Begone from my sight!" Quark saves deep space nine like 20 times before Sisko even looks him in the eye. What's up with that?

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?

Here's how the transporters REALLY work: a tank of glitter is shot next to a black screen and swirled around, possibly on high contrast stock. the film is then matted and "double packed" on an optical printer to acheive the superimpositon "cutout" matte of commander shrek transporitng down onto the planet. The film is exposed for different lengths of time by frame to acheive the "fade" effect.

What's the Social function of the holodeck? They have to simlulcrum grass and mark twains because they are isolated in space and would go crazy without meeting mark twain. They'd turn on each other. Then, is the holodeck not somewhat unrealistic given the fantastic mania they meet regularly, the full grandeur of the night sky, and existing theater and puppet departments? I'm sure everyone has little cameras and makes movies on the editing software they have implanted onto their geordi's visors. why do these peoples imaginations suck! On deep space nine their imaginations went WILD!

Kesper North posted:The Prime Directive of noninterference is very subjectively applied within series canon, and episodes often hinge on this. I'm wrestling with the question as I write my own SF about a future in which humanity is making similar decisions through a less rose-tinted lens. In fifty years imaging tech is probably going to be way more advanced than the mind boggling capabilities of videochips and hubble telescopes and three lenses iphone and such. All of that will multiply basically. By the time the federation is around, a hypotheitical "eye in the sky" sattelite or some such would be powerful enough to detect great images, video, and life and weather patterns from like a planet or two out. An asteroid belt or moon. Noninterference should be very easy, and if there is a civilization in trouble it will likely boil down to more of an "Aw hell, if we go save them the children won't get this shipment of astronaut ice cream on time, and also everyone on this ship will age 2000 years due to the diversion" issue than anything.

Everyone in this thread exhaustively knows exactly what happens in star trek. Kirk fights the gorn. What they can't possibly know is your specific, imaginative interpretation of how everything works and connects back to the exact moment that kirk found the gorn, the history of gorn/federation territorial conflict, what the ph levels in the soil were on the planet, if bob hope was clowning around (as usual) behind the camera or not, if the enterprise had enough dilithium crystals to make to to zerr-9 without docking first at the starbase on sherman's planet, and so on. So ultimately, since so much is literally imaginary, and the writers are themselves employing their imaginations in creating variations on situations, including specific instances where riker has a transporter twin clone brother, it seems silly to say transporters and holodecks etc do not work one way when clearly they work in all of them.

It'd be cool if in real life people broke the prime directive by giving cameras and editing equipment to tribles of lowland gorillas. I bet we'd see some real interesting stuff.

Does Kirk not technically break the prime directive by introducing himself to Guinan? Even though she is an alien, I guess, she did use her old connection with him to get a job on a spaceship. points off for vortex nepotism I guess.

To help the bajorans with the newfound revelation that their gods were real, and living sixty feet above them in space, the federation and keiko o brien imposted a policy of strict atheism in the classroom. Disgraceful. Miles was drunk again, of course, and stuck crammed in the elevator shaft.
