Riker totally had to lie to everyone about those eggs to get them onboard. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to eat these things. They're part of the nature habitat on deck C. We're going to raise them and reintroduce them back into the wild. These things are as endangered as all hell..." Well, MOSTLY lie to everyone as at least one of those statements was true. edit: I picture Riker showing up to Sisko's dad's place all the time and trying to tell him how he's cooking his authentic Cajun cuisine all wrong and proceeds to invite himself into the kitchen and tries to cook everyone's meal.

TNG Season 11: Ryker smuggles Chicken Eggs aboard the Enterprise for his yearly Omelette Festival. Worf is faced with a dilemma, as eating an animal he has not personally hunted is Without Honor. Geordie programs the Holodeck to resolve the problem while Data experiments with cage-free, organic Tribbles.

Yesterday I read the Wikipedia articles about the Trek books Shatner "wrote" and they're all pretty hilarious. The first one takes place before Generations and has Kirk living on a planet that makes him younger. The premise of which is really similar to Insurrection but the book came out a couple of years before the movie so who knows what was going on there. The second book is set after Generations and has the Borg show up and steal Kirk's body and bring it back to life. Then Kirk is rescued and Bashir and McCoy fix him. Also it turns out Spock is immune to assimilation because the Borg got the Vger and since Spock had done the mind meld with it back in TMP they think he's already a Borg. The book ends with Kirk and the TNG crew taking the Defiant (which is renamed to Enterprise) to the Borg homeworld to blow up the Collective. Both Picard and Kirk want to be the ones to stay behind and blow things up but Kirk tricks Picard, knocks him out and beams him away while he blows up the Borg main server thing and himself. Of course that still doesn't kill Kirk and so in the third book he flies back to the planet from the first book and then gets involved with some bizarre convoluted plot involving Spock seeking revenge for his father's death.

Apparently this is known on the sperg database.quote:Feline supplement 74 was a variety of replicated cat food often fed to Spot by her owner, Lieutenant Commander Data. Oddly, the replicator created an insect in the supplement. (TNG: "Data's Day")

Replicated food is probably poo poo because they create it from the bottom up to be perfectly nutritious (so that Geordie can live off nothing but nuggies I assume) instead of just teleporting a cow and saving the pattern.

I assume he gets in a threesome with 7of9 and Troi while Spock looks on, bemused but still aroused. emoji posted:Apparently this is known on the sperg database.

It's weird how Keiko is so proud of the fact that she's eaten the same food every day since she was a child. In other news Syfy were showing all the Star Trek movies recently, but instead of showing Nemesis they repeated TMP onwards again. So apparently Nemesis is so bad that not even Syfy want to show it.

replicated food is actually poo poo because we're so insecure about our own existence that we're deeply uncomfortable with a setting that suggests things could actually be better, so we need every innovation to have a terrible downside that reassures us that we're actually better off without it

I have seen Nemesis a few times and I couldn't tell you what the gently caress the plot of the movie was if my life depended on it. All I ever remember is the Romulan Senate gets nuked and the Romulans cloned Picard for some reason but did a really lovely job.

I think people who don't like replicated food are just luddite-hipsters and it's all in their head.

Roddenberry sprinkled a lot of ludditism in TOS and TNG. Kirk's lawyer only used law books. McCoy hated transporters. Geordie had to have his "special" razor setting, etc.

The (majority of the) handful of TOS episodes I've watched seem to revolve around people getting superpowers or having technology that's too advanced or makes them too perfect. It's kind of weird.

I liked that DS9 seemed to make a point that replicated stuff wasn't the end all, be all. Like it was fine if you needed something mass produced but if you wanted real flavors or textures you went with the real thing. It seemed especially true with booze since Quark made a living on it. They also mentioned on occasion that a lot more materials didn't replicate than TNG did.
