Um, actually, "NX" is the registry designation for experimental vessels, not a class on its own. And also, counterpoint: Excelsior.

Watching a Q episode. I hope they take advantage of the new sweary Star Trek by having Q turn up in the Picard Show and Picard just sighs wearily and goes 'oh just gently caress off'.

Just fat men in various states of undress, angrily ranting into the holocamera about being able to have a female Klingon Captain in Battlespace: Feds vs. Klingons.

Going over latest controversies, XSpaceNinjaX was streaming that game where you use your eyes to push the discs in the holes, he's still the best, when someone Uxbridged him. They called Kevin Uxbridge and said that XSpaceNinjaX killed Rashon. Now there are no XSpaceNinjaXes anywhere

I used to have the holodeck extension that turned the commenters into Pakleds, but our computer underwent a refit at the last starbase we stopped at and the extension doesn't work any more.

My working theory is that sometime in the mid 21st century, someone created a DRM that was sentient who decided that the only way to protect copyright was to destroy everything.

All of Disney ceased to exist.

Man just once I'd love to see someone on a Star Trek start talking about this amazing Romulan author and nobody really knows who they are and eventually we find out they're the Romulan equivalent of Peter Straub - lovely pulp that somehow keeps getting published despite sucking out loud.

I mean, gently caress, I'll talk for days about Sarah Langan and it seems like very few people here on her own planet in her own time even recognize her books, why not give us more of that poo poo.

Or alternatively, gimme an alien who keeps wanting to talk to humans about "you know, that amazing classic band from your world, Mom Jeans? surely the Mom Jeans band must be an important cultural icon for you all"
They kind of did that in The Orville, where they dramatically change a planet's culture by giving them reality television.

Yes. While she was "possessed by an alien warlord." Of course. The only possible explanation.

Didn't they also have telekinetic powers? The one had this special lock around his or her neck, and Quark later found out that the device was just a lock with no other tech inside.

That was Eris alone, who was also the only vorta who could step straight through force fields.

IIRC the books took the idea that Eris was a special Vorta variant engineered for covert operations, while Weyoun is from a more typical strain for administrators and diplomats.

Big missed opportunity in that episode for Sisko to mistakenly call him Kevin, which really annoys Keevan, so Sisko continues to call him Kevin until he dies.
