VitalSigns posted:Speaking of fifth season Voyager, since when did Starfleet have a "no loving the locals" rule? Did anyone tell Riker about this? Or Kirk? Or are those two the reason the rule was made. You're supposed to assume that they made it up for that episode and it will never be mentioned again. "Faster than light, no left or right!"

I'd want to treat all the novels as NOT REAL CANON except that in the Voyager ones it's revealed Harry's girlfriend dumped him as soon as he got home, because he was still an ensign and that was holding her career back

And to be fair, the regulation is "no loving the locals until our doctors have talked with their doctors about potential biological issues from our species loving." The Siege of AR-558 Well that was depressing.

Watching Suspicions. Guinan apparently refuses to see any doctors except Crusher, which even considering their clique surprised me. Oh Crusher's leaving, or maybe not.

I don't really get why someone needs to fly the shuttle who's "more objective." What does objectivity have to do with piloting. Or are they afraid the Ferengi will stay in the corona too long because he has too much faith in the shields?

Picard is kind of a cardboard cutout this episode, I dunno if that's intentional to represent how Beverly perceives him, or just lazy writing

And to be fair, the regulation is "no loving the locals until our doctors have talked with their doctors about potential biological issues from our species loving." Ironically such a rule wouldn't have prevented that situation because Trip didn't know it was happening; the alien lied to him and took advantage of him. "Touch my pearls Tucker, it's a...uh....very important diplomatic protocol among my people. Oh yeah don't stop you dirty girl...uh...ignore what I just said, that's uh just a term of professional respect. Don't get weird about this. And don't tell anyone else on my ship, for um no reason okay?"

Jeb! Repetition posted:Oh I see she's gonna perform the autopsy illegally This episode is weird in retrospect considering that in DS9 we find out that an autopsy on dead Ferengi is mandatory in their culture and must be done as soon as possible so the sections of the corpse can be freeze-dried and auctioned off to friends and family as souvenirs.

So wait did he make his cells secrete tetrion particles when he was pretending to be dead to confirm her hypothesis? Why didn't Crusher realize that wouldn't actually kill him? How would he get fame credit for developing this shield if he's supposed to be dead? Is it going to answer any of this?

And that was the end. What an unsatisfying episode. Worst of Season 6 that I've watched but I skipped one or two so they might've been worse.

Is the vacuum dessication thing mandatory? I thought it was more like cremation, in that it's an accepted funeral practice, but not what everyone does, especially because it would only be worth it for wealthy/famous/popular Ferengi.

If I hadn't seen those I don't think I would have believed you. Now though... EDIT: Also, let the thought of Klingon nudity be your reminder to cancel All Access since there won't be new episodes for two months.

Oh yeah, now that you mention it we can't be sure. It was only mandatory in that episode because there was a futures contract involved and breaking a contract is super illegal in Ferengi law and you get unpersoned if you do it. I'm not sure how that works actually, like poo poo happens all the time and contracts can't be fulfilled, you'd think it would cause economic catastrophe if everyone were constantly losing business licenses every time a shipment gets lost. Seems like the natural way for everyone to deal with this would be to put options in every contract so it would never come up. On the other hand maybe that's a feature: rich individuals and powerful corporations have the clout to negotiate escape hatches in their contracts to apply to themselves, but any little guy who deals with them just has to accept whatever one-sided offer he gets. Sort of like mandatory arbitration in present-day USA.
