There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

The best part is that the crewman who gets turbofucked on that hostile deathplanet that Seska leaves them on becomes a plot-relevant bit of continuity next season.

Shouldn't the inertial dampeners take care of that? You'd have to have a dedicated department just for blotting coffee out of the berber.

Glad I'm taking notes on each episode as I go so I can compare them.

Some redditor made an "essential" episodes list and he included a lot of poo poo you don't need to watch because it got his dick hard or some such. So on a suggestion in the other Star Trek thread, I'm making my own :spergin: list.

One things that's always bothered me in TNG, DS9, and VOY, is people wearing costumes in the Holodeck.

There are several ways this makes sense to me:

a) it's a crafts project that they take pride in (I think this is especialy true of O'Brien and Bashir's WW2 pilot getup)

b) they like being seen in their costumes (contrast with Seven of Nine in VOY, when she definitely does use holo-clothes becaue she doesn't want other people to know she's experimenting with holo-dating)

c) holo-clothes don't feel right and ruin their immersion

d) in the future, cosplay - originally only a Japanese thing, you may remember, and not popular in the West until after c. 2000 CE - is extremely mainstream and as such almost everyone has several sets of costumes for their favorite dress-up activities

I think that's the closest to the actual truth. I remember Pulaski being all "LOL I just replicated these dirty loving whore rags this morning. What a quaint use of our limitless power" in the Moriarty episode.

It's like dressing up with a Goku shirt when you go watch Resurrection of F, or punching some guy in the face during an Avengers movie.

Well the truth is that it looks good on camera and helps telegraph a character's actions but I'm going to pretend it's so you don't end up getting jizz stains all over your work clothes.

Holo clothes are a solid force field and when you fart you have to feel it travel up your back to your neck hole so you don't feel sexy and that's the whole point of the holodeck.

Between that and the events of First Contact the Vulcans must have thought we were like the weird time war aliens like the Krenim of the Alpha Quadrant.

Speaking of the Krenim why was Voyager not prepared for them after Kes went backward through time and warned everyone about them, their weapons and how to beat them.

The Krenim shows up and everyone is like "Oh gently caress we can't deal with their weaponry captain!"

Plus for maximum verisimilitude you need to keep wearing the costume when you go back to work.

DS9 has objectively the best pilot and finale. You don't have to think it's the best Star Trek, that's up for debate, but it's definitely the best when it comes to pilot/finale.

He would probably do the cool and collected pensive approach to designing the holoprogram too, like he is in a staff meeting or debating with an ambassador.

"Computer. *clasps hands* Perhaps we should change Troi's expression from one of disinterest to.....one of interest"
"Computer. Lower the ambient temperature by 3 degrees, The viscosity seems a bit off. *hitting padd* Hmmm another degree."
