they could just increase the space between decks to fit all the machinery safely. it's not like it is a submarine, with tight space requirements.

I always kind of figured that when they made it clear that pon farr's two options were rather limited, the non-fight version wasn't going to be much more gentle than the fight version. Which leads to: two words (or maybe one word, hyphenated?). Mega Strength. Thus, I always figured that there was a reason none of the non-vulcan Voyager crew volunteered to 'take one for the team' when Tuvok or the twerp needed it, 24th century medicine or no 24th century medicine. Similarly, that a 'handy' or the equivalent thereof wouldn't cut the mustard.

i'm not sure if i'd recommend the entire tas, but the buddy satan ep is both entertainingly silly and has a better message than most actual episodes of star trek.

TAS has the time travel episode with Kid Spock, Satan on the planet of wizards and the adaptation of the Soft Weapon that makes the Kzinti technically canon, it's rad. A lot of episodes are skippable I'm sure and the animation is cheap in the way only Filmation can do it, but they took as much advantage as they could of the medium to do stuff they could never practically do on the set.

You know, reflecting on DS9 season 7, I can't help but think there was a missed opportunity to have a scene of Gowron getting in on the discussion about the Alamo model or holosuite program with Bashir and O'Brien. It seems like the kind of thing he'd love.

TAS is pretty good. And DS9 mentioned the Kzinti too. I think there was an episode where a Founder reprograms the Defiant to attack a Kzinti outpost in the hopes they'll get to go to war with the Federation, so they're canon.

Speaking of Riker's beard, that was one of the things Frakes talked about at a convention I saw him at. He showed up on set with it when they were about to start shooting season 2. He said the TNG braintrust liked it because it looked nautical, but not nautical enough. So, they decided to trim it to optimize it's nauticalness. After taking various chunks out, they realized that they hosed up. They ended up gluing hair back onto his face so that he could keep filming with it. Frakes is a funny dude. He also told us about how he showed up at a party after filming without removing the makeup showing his face half-blasted off because he was dead tired.

kirk had to get tricked into technically being a rival suitor for spocks wife before spock could be satisfied with his death, so there is probably a certain amount of selectiveness involved

Or that trying to be intimate with a computer generated automaton designed as a simulacrum of the person you care about more than anyone and anything in the world is probably really goddamn creepy.

At one point in Voyager the EMH confirms he hacked his program to have a dick, so the Doctor canonically fucks but what happens to the holonut afterwards?

The Slaver Weapon was fine because Larry Niven was personally involved.

This could easily be solved with liberal use of Power Armour but the federation refuses to let anyone wear anything more protective than a jumpsuit  Like imagine the romulans farting around with their usual bullshit, when Riker beams in wearing that Mecha-Hitler suit from wolfenstein and mulches everyone in the room. Theres potential here

Universe Master posted:A species of furries that genetically engineered They were apparently originally a slave warrior race for a different alien race, who rose up against them and wiped out their masters and took their technology. Their culture and the genetic engineering is basically what happens when you give a Bronze Age culture space age technology, as they turn men into 'heroes' (mostly good at yelling and leaping) and try to make their wives less naggy. (Ringworld Kzinti never had this change and their females are fully sentient, iirc)
