Listen, if Bashir can casually turn Sisko into a klingon in an afternoon, outpatient, I’m pretty sure becoming my fursona gender transition is nbd

My boring dayjob is to sit in front of the holodeck and shoot anything weird that comes out.

I only recall seeing the hallway bunks in Lower Decks, and I think that was intended as a joke.

I don’t think “reasoning” is the right perspective to examine Picard’s comment from. He’s not making a debate point, Picard is politely telling Ralph that he’s acting like an assclown and that it WILL stop.

Stick with Star Wars, they have nice, safe-for-work Jizz Music.

There’s also Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force where they get transported to a ship graveyard.

Blast off and nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

When Lwaxana scanned the bar in DS9 s01e17 The Forsaken to figure out who stole her broach, she has to look at each person in the room to read them. Perhaps the range for Betazeds is very high or unlimited, but using it requires them to be aware of the person’s presence, or to specifically focus on them? Or perhaps there’s general vibes, but truly reading someone requires active focus?

I want to see a Trek episode shot like one of those Eddie Murphy films where he plays all the characters, using Jeffrey Combs

They don’t have what we would recognize as an economy, but they do have resources and are on rare occasions willing to trade them with outsiders. (See: Voyager) I can imagine some particularly risk-inclined ferengi trying to strike a deal. Gives me a “goodlife” from Saberhagen’s Beserkers kind of vibe.

Martok is such an ally icon

Oh god, it’s time for a meme I made 2 years ago

Definitely the worst thing that happened during those years.

Queercoding villains to make them seem dangerous and deviant to the people of the time (and those that are still stuck in that time). Admittedly, the people making that decision probably weren’t conscious of that being why they thought eyeliner made him look villainous.
