I'm pretty sure the impulse drive are fusion reactors (other than whatever bullshit backup is in the tech manual) so that's why they are always "rerouting impulse power to LT Worfs Toilet" or whatever, so the saucer gets 2/3rds of the engines in the split and can putt around.

I actually preferred the episode that revisited the premise, and Wesley had replaced the batteries but not put the little bit of ribbon under them. It looked like they were doomed until Troi returned from her vacation and was able to get the old batteries out with her fingernails and replace them just in time to get the replicators online for Picard's afternoon tea. B plot was weird, just Data and LaForge sitting at the top of engineering, throwing stones into the warp core and talking about regrettable sexual encounters.

My favorite episode was when USS Boombox found Scotty trapped in a record on a giant record player. Took them a while to figure out what it was and how to play it. Geordi, replicate me more aux cables.

Geordi: Alright Data, I've got specifications on which aux cables we need, get them replicated.
Data: .....Geordi. The Auxiliary cables outlined in your specifications are constructed of materials that would not seem to conform to any known, useful auxiliary cable configuration. Furthermore, they seem to be referenced many times in the past as being sold to gullible consumers in the 21st century while no technological or scientific method has ever proven that vibration crystals, wood block holders or golden weave have any impact on audio fidelity.
Geordi: Data you really don't understand humans do you

If we can use Geordi's visor to flood the warp core with anti-tachyon particles, it just might cause a subspace distortion that will make this the best remix ever!

The impulse engines are fusion rockets with antimatter afterburners and a subspace driver coil that accelerates the exhaust to superluminal velocity for a specific impulse of a zillion

the impulse engine fusion reactors are also what they just vaguely call "secondary power" on the shows, they provide enough power for shields, weapons, and basically everything except the warp drive itself

"Tiny Trains"

Lwaxana seemed awful in TNG, the stupid annoying mother that comes and visits, but even then you end up realizing it's her daughter that's way more awful. But then in DS9 they flesh her out a bit and you mostly just feel sorry for her because she's a desperately lonely person who lost the one husband she loved and her daughter turned out to be a cold selfish bitch and she thinks she has to put on this cheerful face all the time.

Lwaxana episodes suck, but only because they're Troi episodes and usually include ten scenes where Lwaxana says something and Deanna rolls her eyes into the back of her head.

The problem is not Lwaxana, she's great. I mean

I don't care if she's only on the show because she knew how to pluck Gene's roddenberries, the character is great. That's why she works in the DS9 episode. It doesn't have to rely on Troi reacting to her mother's antics.
