i was thinking about how people say you never see a toilet on the Enterprise. with teleporter technology, maybe they're living in a post-toilet society - the poops just get teleported into the replicator matter container out once they reach a certain size and get recycled into dinner

E: i see I'm not the first person to think of this idea



When I was a kid my dad told me that the replicators made food that your body could completely break down into pure nutrition, so the only time you pooped was on away missions.

For months he convinced me he had a talking Camaro named "Berli", by having his secretary make voice recordings talking to me on one of those mini cassette recorders, and keeping it down between the drivers seat and the door.

One time he woke me up shouting "the bucket trees are in bloom c'mon you have to help me pick buckets". His company had made a bunch of buckets that had some minor flaw, so he had his guys come by overnight and hang hundreds of buckets in the trees in our yard.

Going through DS9 season 1 at the moment, and I'm more or less where you were. Between the guy assassinating cool rear end Gul Daheel last episode and Wynn's bullshit in this one, I'm losing a lot of sympathy for the Bajorans.

O'Brian's speech about the sacred bond between engineers and his threats to fight everyone he came across reminded me to call my dad.

But hey, season 2 starts with a sweet two parter starring Frank Langella. Of course, it just makes the Bajorans even more hostile, but still, Frank Langella.

After watching 3 OK social issue episodes in a row DS9 delivers the awesome one that shows Odo's beginnings as a constable and Kira's resistance days. Fantastic episode. I think my wife wiped a tear at the end when Kira states their friendship as being the reason she didn't tell Odo the truth of the unsolved murder. drat that was good stuff.

Also had the bit where the doofus ferengi brother is screeching at QUark's would be murderer, happy that he is a hero, then return to screeching when he realizes he prevented inheriting the bar which was a Simpsons/Futurama type moment to me. Absurd but good for a chuckle.

Odo is a cool cat all around. Speaking of cats would there really be rats on a space station like Odo shifts into? Do rats stow away in space ships like real ships? Couldn't the computer just scan for them and teleport them into the void?

There is another episode a few seasons later that is essentially the same plot, except in reverse. And Kira can't see the irony in the situation so she gets furious at Odo for what happens.

You're thinking of Stephen Lang, maybe? Frank Langella is in old stuff like The Twelve Chairs, or that terrible Gina Davis pirate movie Cutthroat Island.

Yeah I just did a GIS and it's not hotdog lips. Now I will go crazy trying to figure out who I was picturing.

Incidentally, in all of Google Image search, there's only one picture of Frank Langella doing a toothy smile. Every other picture is closed mouth smiles, and I'm not entirely sure the toothy smile pic wasn't CGI. I don't trust people who smile like that, unless they have Kirsten Dunst teeth.

He's the only good part of that movie because he keeps killing people, therefore lowering the overall annoyance each time.

I suppose the exploding ship at the end was good too, but that's about it.

As space becomes more traveled, you can bet your rear end that rats and other vermin will be up there too. It's just inevitable. Why do you think they had a cat on the Nostromo?

gently caress those ecosystems if they can't handle our vermin then that's on them not us. Besides Trip and Reed blew up a planet once by entering the atmosphere wrong I'm sure they'd have leapt at the chance to just have some ecosystem damage.

If there's 8 20s in 160, then there's at least 8 18s in 154, so just estimate and say that you've made 1/8 of the posts in this thread.

Any Ferengi male with functioning hands who has reached puberty spends at least two hours a day grooming their lobes, often with scented warming oils.

I loved the ironic anecdote that the Ferengi actors became deaf as doorbells when they were in costume due to having giant rubber "ears" attached to the side of their heads.

No joke. When I was younger my family stayed at my grandmothers while when we moved and some paperwork thing kept us from moving into the new place. She hated the idea that we brought the cats until within a week the bug problems she'd always had disappeared. From that point on grandma had a grudging respect for cats. :3:

Also this reminds me of the "O'brien must suffer" episode where he had to get rid of a vole infestation.
