Was just rewatching the Emissary and the first 10 minutes didn't make any sense to me.. Who at StarFleet thought that putting Sisko on a ship commanded by the guy who literally murdered his wife was a good idea? "Eh nobody else at StarFleet wants to take this poo poo assignment, so let him get a lift with his wife's killer" If I were Sisko, I would have spent the entire journey hogging the holodeck casually killing holoclones of Jean-Luc. Sisko could also have just hosed off to Bajor without even talking to Picard. I don't get why he even bothered to talk to him, other than to get a good look at a fellow StarFleet officer whom he'd like to throttle within an inch of his life. Also LOL at Picard thinking at the end "Well I'm never going to hear the end of that episode, am I?" Keep thinking there's a group of StarFleet officers who started a "Survivors of Wolf 359" club and Picard's portrait is hanging in the main hallway covered in darts and rotten fruit.

I thought it was pretty cool watching Sisko meet the Prophets for the first time, because of how the timeline works. They clearly don't know who he is, but after that first meeting, it's implied they ensured he was born in the past so they could meet him in the present.

Look, I still say if Starfleet kicked out every person who got mind-controlled or otherwise hosed around with by mysterious aliens, they'd be struggling to crew half the fleet within a year.

The latest Short Trek might just be one of the strangest pieces of canon Star Trek ever. I can assure you it isn't what you think of when you think of Discovery. I'm amazed it got made and that's not me saying it's good or bad.

From a few pages back, but mostly I'm posting it so I can link to it in future. Some of you guys are way off base when it comes to jobs. You have 2 choices: 1) sit in your bedroom and stare at the walls 2) get a busboy job one or 2 nights a week at the most happening creole joint in town, with live music and happy customers where tips don't matter If none of your friends did something like gently caress off to Spain to work a bar, sleep with hot Spanish women, drink good wine, live in the same district as Picasso did and pluck at a guitar before an open balcony in the Old Town lazily whiling away a hot summer evening with your senorita painting oils on canvas at an easel in the nude - then man, what kind of friends did you have? Sure they aren't saving for a deposit on a house, they aren't advancing their career, but they're happier than you ever were you uptight anal gently caress. Admit it, you envy them. gently caress yeah I'd take a job at sisko's restaurant a night or 2 a week while I figured out what to do with myself in my 20s It's a tautology anyway: any job we see existing exists purely because someone wants to do it. Elderly people who volunteer at soup kitchens or are tea ladies at swanky offices can attest- they could collect pension at home or go interact with people even though they don't have to. Not everyone's a basement-dwelling neckbeard. So while yeah, we see concierges/receptionists/whatever in Trek, that's a job someone wants to do. But when it comes time to scrub plasma injectors on a garbage scow, you employ the EMH Beta Version 2 or whatever, because nobody wants to do it. So if the job exists, it's because someone wants it to, not because it has to. That's the friggin point of the Federation. Do what you want to, not what you need to, because your needs are taken care of. If you really want to talk socioeconomics then look at the FIRE movement. The "retire early" part of that causes so much controversy because these people who are financially independent still do poo poo with their days - and many critics say that's "not really retirement". Well gently caress, if retirement is sitting around waiting to die, I don't want it. That's about as far as I can imagine from a proto-Soviet hellscape. E: an aside, I'm fittingly posting this from outside the Starfleet Communications Headquarters, aka the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong

I like to do this often. Not every day, or even every week, but often enough. I did this without a capitalist threatening me with starvation or homelessness. I imagine in the federation people also do things they have a passion for, including running a restaurant while some other people work a few hours once a week or when they feel like it just for the experience.

simplefish posted:This guy loving gets it Also the replicator recipe idea is a great idea. I think that's authentically something that they couldn't be expected to think of in advance - the idea was that the replicator recipes meant you could have fifty times the variety with a tenth of the storage space, so who cares if you're eating transporter-alchemized biomass? The idea of leaderboards... Of course if replicator recipes are truly enormous there might need to be curation.

Normally when you catch a transport destinations ahead of you will update in advance from the travel manifest but he came by Starfleet shuttle on a prisoner transfer so the system was caught off-guard and only requested it from the Federation datanet after his first use.

It's meant to be bullshit, it's a quote from the leader of the hypercapitalist/materialist faction in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. (Which isn't to say the game is bullshit, it's amazing and in large part because quotes like those do such a good job of characterizing the faction leaders and what they stand for.)

See, I get the whole thing about "Computer, create an X capable of Y" and people's reactions to it. But really, it's not that big a deal. What did Moriaty actually get? Self awareness. Or, well, not that exactly, but the capacity to understand that he was a computer construct. That was the difference between him before modification and Data: knowing the boundaries of the simulation. All the computer did was allow him to react to the Arch, unlike other characters. It wasn't a guaranteed win (he lost, after all). But it was a matter of capability, not a matter of certainty as so many of these type of posts construe it.
