In a universe with thousands of inhabitable planets, the Maquis were a bunch of idiot spoiled babies. They were even worse than the Bajorians. I'm glad they all died.

Starfleet wishes to evacuate you for your own protection. Yet Gosheven has decided otherwise. That is his right. I will not waste time trying to reverse that decision. I admire your conviction in the face of certain defeat. Though doomed, your effort will be valiant. And when you die, you will die for land, and for honor. Your children will understand that they are dying for a worthy cause. Long after the battle is over, their courage will be remembered and extolled. Remembered by who? Yes, that is true. There will be no one left alive to remember.

There were a lot of Bajoran Maquis, surprise, surprise. I don't know why but I'm remembering there being a single Klingon Maquis, just like in the background of a scene. Also that one lady Spock.

There was at least one Klingon Maquis, not counting Torres. There was also a Bolian one.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Starfleet wishes to evacuate you for your own protection. I could identify with those guys. They were forced there due to crash landing and were trapped due to the technobabble atmosphere meaning nobody ever knew what happened to them. So their leader's argument was that he wanted to stay where his father and his grandfather had toiled and died to build a home in an inhospitable place. They had been there for like a century. The Maquis were a bunch of hipsters that were bored of post scarcity society and decided they wanted to go LARP as farmers. They pulled the same "THIS IS OUR HOME" poo poo despite most of the planets being colonized recently. I think in the show's timeline that some of them even colonized directly adjacent to Cardassian space during or directly after the war with the federation like 10-20 years prior so they were just bored and wanted to pick a fight with someone and go "NUH UH You can't tell me what to do"

I think it has more to do with the vast amount of untainted wilderness for the Bolians to take shits on (they poo poo a lot, you see)

I wonder if the Klingon maquis was actually in it for the whole "freedom from tyranny" thing or if he was just there for the violence.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:How do you allocate stuff like the "Picard Family Vineyard?" What if I, Joe Replicator Maintenance man am an amateur sommolier and want to have a go at running my own vineyard in rural France? There are only so many acres of arable land for the 60 billion or however many humans their are in the 24th century. there are tons of colonies on m class planets and anytime they mention population its rarely over even a million. you can have your own vineyard itll just be in the boonies i guess in the centuries it would take for those places to get overpopulated that might be a problem but the federation strikes me as the kind of place where people don’t have a ton of kids

I'm just past the Tuvik Voyager episode. It was actually phenomenal. Only problem is it relies on you having watched enough Voyager to care about Neelix and especially Tuvok - Neelix is far easier to pity but Tuvok is probably the only competent person making strategic decisions on that ship. What I liked most was the Doctor's refusal to be involved, and the fact that it didn't moralise or throw a Deus Ex to get the "right" answer. It left it as a no win and didn't shy away. Reminded me of a DS9 episode (can't quite remember which) where it similarly seemed like there was no right answer but they threw a deus ex because something situational happened that rendered the whole thing moot.

Whomever they got in to play Tuvix did a phenomenal job. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a 50/50 clone of Russ and Phillips made specifically for that episode. And murdered when no longer convenient to have around.

I'm amazed that the latest episode of The Orville copied LaForge's character evolution outright with LaMarr, pushing him from Bridge Guy to Chief Engineer.

I'm still glad Tuvix got split up again because Tuvok owns that much. It was a really good episode and was very real without sounding too nerdy and deep. Sure Tuvix is cool and alive...but I want my friends back! Reading memory alpha about it is pretty interesting too fyi. Wallace Shawn talk: to me he isn't Wallace, I always refer to him as the Grand Nagus with his epic epic voice. I remember in high school he was in some safety testicular cancer video psa we watched in health class. His kid talked about a lump and in true Nagus voice he said "you mean your testicles?" While the other kids laughed at the word like children I laughed at his voice like an even nerdier child. Tyson Tomko fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 3, 2017 |

revolther posted:I imagine replicators essentially take raw matter in different forms, recycled waste carbon makes some meh tasting Turkey dinners, or a better mix of base fuel and you get better food. Or maybe Quarks just has better "recipes" in the sense that they are meticulously designed atomic/molecular blueprints that pay more attention to linking the different elements of taste. This sorta makes sense in a jokey "army rations/food is terrible" way. Standard-replicator food has been noted by non-starfleet types as being highly tasty and accurate to what a "natural" meal would taste like. Every. Single. Time. A given recipe in a replicator tastes exactly the same, every time you eat it. Perfectly identical, every time. Even for someone that doesn't have some psychological hang-up against replicated food (because they've got a philosophical hard-on for the colonist life and growing your own food, or you're the son of a chef who enjoys cooking, or whatever), eating the same meal more than a handful of times will have you notice this pretty fast, one would think. For a lot of people, this probably isn't a big issue, for some it will be, as with any society/culture having its customs and preferences for food. Quark probably acquires new variations on recipes (so that they taste slightly different, the texture is slightly different, the *look* is slightly different) frequently enough that it's reason enough to eat there rather than the repli-mat in and of itself, let alone other potential factors like having some hand-prepared meals, custom recipes for food/meals from cultures the repli-mat simply doesn't have at all, etc. That, and Quark's almost certainly has a MUCH superior beverage selection, so there's that, too.

Plus there’s probably some Hrmm how do I put it? Like, everything is replicated now so people are all “ holly poo poo an actual HAND cooked meal” Weight is placed on a previously common place activity.

yeah it's just psychological and that's entirely fine because in the 24th century humans are still human. i'd rather go have fun at joe sisko's restaurant and have authentic gumbo even if you can't tell the difference in a blind taste test

For all the wrong reasons: I'd rather have a Romlette at Quarks. Which is pre-chewed pancakes, butter, sausage and pineapple spit out onto a hot egg and folded over.

Yes but Tuvok owns and Tuvix was wayyyy too serious. Now if it was someone like Neelix and Vorek/Taurek (Vulcan who tried to rape Torres via pon far) then I'd be cool with Tuvix hanging around. As dumb as Tuvix's outfit should have been it was cool as hell so I'll give you that.

Is Bashir allowed to have babies? Wouldn't they get half his hosed up mutant genes, which could interact unpredictably with the lady's genes. If he did have kids, would his kids be allowed to try out for starfleet or other government positions that beneficiaries of genetic manipulation are usually barred from? Or does the gene therapy not affect the gonads, so his kids will get his original 'tarded genes?
