Hi, I've come to apply for the doctor's job. I can assure you my credentials are top-notch, I've just graduated from Harvard College Yale. I aced every semester, and I got an 'A'.
In "Good Shepard" Voyager had a Bajoran crewman, Tal Celes who worked a sciencey job in astrometric under Seven of Nine but was so shite at it that Chakotay suggested she just be allowed to quit and pursue her own interests...oh and it's implied by the girl herself that she only made it through Starfleet training due to affirmative action

Ensign, are there any life signs on the shuttlecraft?

I will pray to the Prophets for guidance.

Uhh....

The Prophets have told me that sadly the crew had perished.

If that's true then why does it look like that guy is waving at us through the window?

The Prophets would not lie to us. It is probably just gas escaping from the body. Oh by the way if you call me out on this I'm going to refer you to Space HR for discriminating against my religion.

I had exactly this thought just a couple weeks ago when I was image searching for headshots to steal for a dumb unfinished Goon Project. This is a game about deception, intrigue and hidden roles, so completely unsurprisingly the characters who exceeded my expectations with the ideal expressions are Dukat, Garak, and Vreenak, and I think the latter is actually the best of the best. It's his vaguest, subtlest, Mona Lisa whisper of a suggestion of a smile. so perfect:

a lot of star trek actors have complained about how your acting method and esp facial expressions have to be delivered completely differently under heavy alien make-up, so im kind of extra impressed at the subtlety n effectiveness of that actor's delivery

Seriously, like why not just have her work strictly amongst women if her erotomania gets all crazy with only men? Even then she didn't seem all THAT bad like she was all 'JULIAN LOVES ME' but then largely ignores him/doesn't lash out when he de-autisms the one chick and starts trying to stick it to her.

I like Star Wars and Star Trek and I'm a huge nerd so I know this.

The scariest thing in sci fi is the Tyranids in Warhams cause they are attacking from outside the galaxy from two directions, implying that they are a multi-galaxy race. It's also hinted at them actually running from a larger predator species.

Like everything else sci fi and fantasy, Games Workshop already ruined it.

pretty much. whats scary about them is for the most part they have no "but" factor that most of the warhammer factions have. example being orks could take over everything BUT the cant organize for poo poo and mostly fight each other or go on random WAAGGGS. the tyranids dont have that. they are coming and you will all be their food at some point.

B5 computing technology advanced to the level of an automated tourist information kiosk then halted, for there was no more need to go past a six-option touch screen done up in teals and pinks and yellow primitive shapes with a static corporate logo screensaver that appears as soon as you stop using it.

The people that designed the information systems that controlled Nakatomi Plaza dusted off the same zip drive of Borland tools software and sold it unmodified to the Earth Gov for use in a space station. What a beautiful world.

Yeah. The federation said, "Good heavens, this woman is kind of slutty. Put her in a mental institution! We can't have her out fornicating with the general population!" And she wasn't even all that slutty, she just flirted with guys a bit.

B5's little fighters were the ricketyest pieces of poo poo ever flown in combat. Those things blew up after getting hit with the space equivalent of a street hockey puck. I think those are right out of the equation as one shuttle could take on an entire wing just by shield ramming them one at a time.

I think B5 takes the fight though with the combined power of psicorps wrecking poo poo on the command decks remotely and via sabotage which would be added to the power of B5's far more numerous gun emplacements brought online after the first season.

Data would be captured and turned into a gambling robot. Troi would be given over to psi corps as an object of pity to serve as a sort of psychic paperweignt at HQ. Riker, having volunteered to slip into the station and call down strikes on sensitive targets would never have been heard from again after falling madly in love with Na'Toth, abandoning his assignment and retiring to the simple life of a spoo farmer.

To be fair Kai Winn does it to exploit them for power, and they sing praises because of people like Kai Winn. The actual Prophets don't seem to give much of a gently caress about Bajorian politics so 99% of their religion is dogma built around something that just happens to be all powerful.
