It's kind of impressive that it took until Enterprise for someone to turn up the grav plating. Although we did see it disabled for a similar purpose.

Oops. Now my girlfriend's six year old's favorite phrase, which she repeats constantly, is "Brain and brain. What is brain?"

Also years ago there was a show on here in the UK, a panel show - with star trek people. It was in 1997 and called Space Cadets. It was the first time I'd ever seen Rom without makeup and it's seared into my head but I'd only recently remembered the name. Even Shatner was on it once, it's worth a watch if you can find it.

Coming of Age is actually a pretty good episode, I like Wesley's plot and the setup for some unknown conflict inside the Federation is intriguing, and even the rear end in a top hat officer investigating them is won over and wants to join the crew by the end! Now to take a big sip of coffee and see what this follows on to...

Any ship that has a bunch of murderous internal systems designed to kill attackers has an approximately 100% chance of eventually killing its own crew with them Everyone's learned that lesson the hard way, whether it was virus, energy being, saboteur....

I'm sure it's a cutting technique borrowed from something else, but it's the kind of playful stylism that's rare but appreciated in Trek.

Eons ago in this very thread, someone said something to the effect of the "if I was captain, my ship would be full of holoemitters and if someone boarded, I'd just say 'computer, bees.'" My security system would constantly be doing a combadge headcount. Anyone found without a combadge or authorized tag would be biometrically compared with ship crew, Starfleet records, and boarding authorization. Persons falling into one of these groups would be beamed to an agony booth. All others would simply be taken into the transporter buffer and harmlessly erased.

the emitters are jammed(?) so that they produce really big holo bees and you have to shoot them all until they explode with your phaser rifle to save the ship

I just watched the Passenger episode of DS9, and Quark was directly responsible for hiring a group of mercenaries that attempted to hijack an important shipment and killed at least 3 people(I assume those weren't set to stun, they had pyrotechnics go off when the people were shot). How did Odo not have him locked away after that lol.

 Captain, we have discovered a loophole in the admiral's security system. While there are intensive biometric scans, they are only applied to 'unknown' individuals, that is, those without a commbadge. And individuals without a commbadge are instantly transported into the brig, no exceptions. I see. Number one, I believe this is your department. All I need to do to save the Federation is seduce some hottie from the crew, scoop up the commbadge from my bedroom floor, then transport over to the ship and rip the tabs off the commanding officer? My whole career has lead up to this moment.

This feels like its a prime set up for a Lower Decks episode, a paranoid captain that's rigged their ship with so many safety features that they turned the ship in to a death trap full of holo bees.

My recollection is that she's solo because she was on her way back from some conference or something. I always thought it was funny and very Federation that on their decades-long journey home, they still stopped off at various symposia and contributed relevant keystone speakers or papers.

Neelix was with her, but he was incapacitated quickly as he’s Neelix. I think that was the episode where they were away meeting some aliens and Janeway pissed them off by putting her hands on her hips.

I’ve resolved to watch DS9 properly for the first time. Why did nobody tell me there’s a whole episode in the first season about making first contact with a race of Gamers. Worth slogging through an average first few episodes. This owns

The Storyteller is also real bad but its salvaged by starting O'Brien and Bashir's bromance. Also the race of Gamers was probably dominated by the Dominion at some point so I say Gamers rise up

Zaroff posted:Neelix was with her, but he was incapacitated quickly as he’s Neelix. Which is basically the same joke as Archer with the guys who got mad at the humans eating in front of them. The macrovirus episode is basically Mulgrew getting to be Ellen Ripley, just like the saddle one is P-Stew getting to be John McLane.
