It's not very logical to have everyone have similar names in your whole culture. Unless Spock's full name rivals Siddig el Fadil's

I know there's no real answer for this, but Rom being a "failure" for being an amazing engineer with no business talent bugs the hell out of me. For businesses to prosper, don't people need to have services to sell? Rom should just have gotten a manager/business partner to market his talents if he couldn't do it himself.

For a doctor, Bashir racks up a bit of a body count. That's a beautiful explosion effect too. The Founders being biological whiz kids makes sense, but it's sort of strange too--how could a shapeshifter know about its form's internal anatomy? It isn't absorbing their data like an Andalite, so there's no physical connection between a changeling and the forms it can take. At some point they'd either have to have dissected a real creature or else all of their knowledge is stolen from the races they conquered, which is actually a theory I like more. The Changelings being vacuous rulers who had earned their godhood title based on absolutely no real merit of their own feels incredibly fitting.

I have a weird soft spot for Omega. Obvious answer is Tuvix. Less obvious: Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy Comedy answer is Threshold.

I vote for Blink of an Eye. I watched Trials and Tribblations today, and I'm gonna watch the new WoK Director's Cut at a friend's place tonight. I also sold a big chunk of my Eaglemoss Star Trek ships on ebay so happy 50th anniversary

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I think it would have been cool if we'd started seeing saucer-less Galaxys. The Saucer has additional impulse reactors, both together are more powerful than the hull alone, even if only a bit, and probably has more self-repair and supply ability in a long term war like the dominion. I would imagine large portions of the thing were empty space - supposedly even portions of the D saucer were just structural framework for future occupancy. Maybe in the war they swapped out labs for extra reactors or something. The Odyssey didn't need to seperate because she offloaded her non-essential personnel onto DS9. Plus for a recon mission, the saucer has all the good sensors. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Data Graham posted:Saavik being an example of the variation on the rule (which I think I also heard) that said all Vulcan names (regardless of sex) should start with S and end with K (which also gives us Sybok). You could almost make that the rule for families. Spock's family names were all S___K names, or something like that. Maybe Tuvok's family names were all T___K names.

Like quark was gonna let basically free maintenance go? I assure you, quark would have squashed any potential partners.

bull3964 posted:50 years ago right now, 'The Man Trap' aired on NBC. Useless trivia - Ensign Darnell, the first of many Ensign Rickys to be sacrificed for the good of the Federation, was played by Michael Zaslow. Zaslow would gain great fame in the 70s & 80s as soap opera villain Roger Thorpe. Then he got ALS and died.

Kinda weird on rewatch. he was still obsessed with getting the bar in the second to last episode. on the other hand, in the first season there was that episode where quark spread that replicator disease that made it so you can't communicate. odo busted quark on the basis that quark said rom fixed the replicator and he said something like "rom couldn't fix a sandwich" now keep in mind, odo had known quark for like 5 years at this point. jesus he's a lovely security guy too. worf was right.

You can't just bust quark though. He's mostly harmless, and knows about all the illegal business that goes through the station. It's good to have a predictable crime boss running the show. Illegal poo poo is gonna happen, might as well keep an eye on one person who's gonna know everything, and bust the underlings.
