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'.
I liked when Voyager went back to 1996 and Janeway was like "Well Tom we will be relying on your encyclopedic knowledge of the 20th century more than usual to get us through this pickle!" Then when they beam down and start interacting with real people and not historical 20th century holograms they realise Paris knows gently caress all

"Groovy!"

Yeah that was an effective bit of SHOWING rather than TELLING that Paris' 20th century fandom doesn't hold up. If he actually knew history then he wouldn't have made the KGB gaffe, but he clearly doesn't beyond a general sense of "late 1900s."

The first time they got home they went back in time to watch Sarah Silverman be wacky and to wear 90's clothes (especially Tom) and steal a holo-emitter from Ed Begley Jr. but when they went back to the 24th century they were in the delta quadrant again for some reason.

They went back again to watch Janeway's whiney lesbian grandma fight the building of a giant millennium penis on her uncles apartment building or something.

Then they went back again and Janeway got a teaching job at ITT Tech but then Tuvok had congenital space madness so Janeway had a flashback then a flash-forward then a flash-sideways until she was blowing up the Borg transwarp conduit because somehow that prevented Tuvok's space madness and the Doctor could marry a real lady.

All this despite the time the Jeffries tubes turned into time tubes and Janeway saw that Voyager was still in the DQ when the Borg boy Icheb was an adult and plowing Naomi Wildman.

Also if you made somebody watch DS9 ep 1, said "Which of these characters do you think gets his leg blown off, gets PTSD, and eventually gets mostly over it with holograms?" no way could anyone ever guess that correctly.

All this despite the time the Jeffries tubes turned into time tubes and Janeway saw that Voyager was still in the DQ when the Borg boy Icheb was an adult and plowing Naomi Wildman.

The first time they asked to be left at earth and the time guy that took them there is like "Sorry temporal prime directive your asses have to go back the gently caress where you came from. Exactly."

Janeway's ancestor was like, The A plot about some old rear end in a top hat refusing to let the millennium gate be built because he didn't like that it had stores in it. The B plot was that Janeway thought her ancestor was some earth Hero, building that gate and then making the mars missions possible in the 2030s. Turns out she was some fired engineer that was dirt poor and wanted a book store owners dick and convinced him to not be the worlds' biggest rear end in a top hat and take millions of dollars and a free replacement store for selling his old one. Had nothing really to do with anything. This somehow surprised Janeway since apparently nobody in her entire family bothered to do a google search on their ancestor and instead told folk tales about being descended from greatness. That was just a flashback.

The ITT tech job was that Voyager made it home 7 years after when Season 7 took place, but Tuvok died of space Aids after like 4 of those years. So old crusty Janeway travels through time, sends voyager through a borg transwarp thing 7 years earlier than it was supposed to so Tuvok won't die (ending the series as well)

The time tube episode I think is explained that was 17 years later and by then Starfleet had Slipstream figured out and would just go to the Delta Quadrant all the time.

Also Don't forget the time Harry crashed voyager into an ice planet, killing everyone except him and Chakotay who got to Earth. Captain Laforge blew them up though and reset the timeline.

Also Harry Kim traveled into a parallel universe where he was an accomplished scientist and railing his hot fiance on earth but decided he needed to get back to the show timeline.

Romulans had ship cloaking where Carsassians did not.
Romulans could detect a fake Cardassian optolythic data rod.
Romulans could make a distilled spirit palatable to more than a single race.
Cardassians had superior filing systems.
Cardassian males eschewed the sciences.
Cardassian and Romulan brain-implant tech seemed to be pretty much on par given Garak's pleasure switch and Geordie's mind-control assassin radio

As much as I prefer the Cardassian peoples, I'd have to go with the Romulans.

Everyone hates Cardassian cuisine, even Cardassians. Technology was second rate, scientists were under the control of the military and supervised by the Obsidian Order so their could never hope to match the Federation's technical expertise. Their justice system was a farce. Dr Bashir finds Cardassian literary classics "boring". Their empire is smaller than the Federation, Romulan and Klingon Empires respectively. They couldn't drive the Klingons or maquis out of their territory until they joined the Dominion and got the Jem Hadar to help them. Everybody hates them because they were mean to the Bajorans for fifty years

Urgh, why is every Gul Dukat episode after Waltz such a letdown? Some of them aren't even bad, like the one where he prank calls Kira to say he hosed her mother, but they just aren't as good as the ones before his psychotic breakdown.

BattleMaster
Aug 14, 2000

The writers were irritated by the fact that people on Usenet were believing Gul Dukat's bullshit and found him to be a sympathetic character so they made him cackling batshit insane evil to make it clear he's meant to be a villain. Which for those of us who aren't literally nazis kind of ruined his character.

I like how they taunted those fans with the episode where Dukat gets Ziyal back. He and Kira have all this goofy antics going on in the cave where they "bond", and then Dukat immediately follows it up by declaring vengeance on everyone who wronged him after the moment passes.

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
What do you think Cardassian music sounds like? The only musical tastes we've really observed in ST races is Klingon Opera.

Thinking that it's mentioned in-universe that their hearing isn't as keen as humans (probably from their ears being just an evolved tympanic membrane), I'm thinking Cardie music probably has a ton of bass and fast-driving beats.

Spoonheads would love industrial and dubstep.
