EimiYoshikawa posted:Man, you know that there would be at least a few of the most incredibly daring and bleeding edge (literally in this case) Klingon fusion chefs that have worked for years to produce a cooked gagh recipe that would result in anything other than a battle to the death for a Klingon customer. But the replicator can't make living organisms... or at least it can't replicate human (and presumably Klingon) life. Is there replicated gagh, thrown into a sick parody of sterile life for the sake of a delectable taste experience!?

I assume the Klingons have replicators too even if they are probably the sorts to carry live food around in greater quantity than the Federales, who seem to only tote around boutique liquors. They probably make like, blood crackers and poo poo to stretch it out and we're mostly seeing them eating their big meal of the day. In the Klingon FMV game you go to a dinner party type thing and they have a bunch of food prepared and it definitely seems like it was made by hand, not by replicator, so I think they're pretty big fans of actually preparing their food fresh. Plus, like you said, you can't replicate fresh gagh

Gh'rdan of the House of rM'seH, a 9-bat'leth chef, spoke today about his disappointment in traditional Klingon cuisine. "There's more to food than boiling, flame-roasting, or simply eating live, you honourless curs. To expand your palettes, I've prepared a delicious sous vide heart of targ, glazed with a Romulan spinal fluid reduction and stuffed with human herbs like sweet basil, taragon, and prunes. It is a good day to dine."

Given what we've seen of the interior of Klingon ships and their crews, like the ship in the TNG episode A Matter of Honor or on the Rotarran in DS9, they seem to have relatively small crews compared to Federation ships so maybe they really do have room to carry around a bunch of fresh food.

In fairness, some of the Enterprise D's 78,456 empty apartments could probably be used for food if they wanted.

To me the Enterprise E and later types of ships are OK looking sleeker and more compact as Starfleet deals with things like the Borg. It started to shift with the Defiant class.

Arena is the TOS episode that everyone thinks is one of the worst episodes but is actually one of the better ones.

I can see why that episode's so famous. It was some of the purest Star Trek ever. Bad fights, good moral, condescending godlike aliens, part where they find a mysteriously destroyed outpost Also a good prequel to Darmok

It's also a great example of a time when Kirk, when confronted with evidence that he's in the wrong, adjusts course. He was thirsty for revenge after seeing the remains of Cestus III, but when he found out that the Gorn may have been the injured party, he declined to kill their captain. He's a much more complex character than he tends to be depicted these days. Another example is Obsession, which I won't spoil if you haven't yet seen it.

When I last watched TOS, what stuck out to me the most about how Kirk commands and leads is his guile. Kirk's not very belligerent, or even bold like Sisko and Janeway. What Kirk is, is cunning and he is clever. Most of the time, he wins by bluffs, trickery, and outwitting the opponent rather than simply pummeling them.

This is why I always get irrationally angry at people who insist that Kirk should have died on the blazing bridge of the Enterprise while battling Klingons or some poo poo. It displays a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.

Kirk is a bookworm who plays chess, taught philosophy at the academy, reads Spinoza for fun, and figured out how to hack the Kobyashi Maru simulator so he wouldn't fail it. No idea how anybody can think he's not smart.
