Picard would end up with c3P0 on the ship or some poo poo and they'd find a diplomatic solution by plugging him into the ships computer and ordering him to have a 3 way with data in virtual space

Palpatine and the crystalline entertain make out, also?? It isn't gay, the crystalline entity does not have a gender, actually it's practically girl, when you think about it, because it's shiny and pretty

Sisko punched Q so hard he never showed up again on DS9 after that. You do not gently caress with The Sisko.

I think Q started the Dominion War over it and all Sisko had to do was apologize, like how when Picard apologized to Q and asked for help Q made the borg go away. anyway maybe Star Trek: Picard opens with sisko saying "sorry!!" and then basically all of Deep Space 9 never happened. paramount has already hired me over this idea. like before we reached the end of that sentence.

Checks out. Q offered to send Voyager home instantly if Janeway slept with him and instead she went "gently caress off creep" and they were stuck in the Delta Quadrant for another 5 years.

once sisko sleeps with Q he'll have saved billions of lives. but as in "tapestry", only he will know...

Okay wow hold on everyone, first we need to set some ground rules or else we'll never get anywhere.


In order for us to have a productive discussion that leads to a resolution of this question, we'll need to establish some ground rules. The first is that whatever you see on the screen - whatever the effects artists put together that they thought would look cool and could be done in a timely fashion without blowing the budget - is the absolute truth of God. Written materials such as tech manuals or rambling 100+ page PDF screeds against a Youtube video may be admissible as long as they fit within the respective studio's policy concerning their canonicity status.

If you try to infer anything from dialogue, you are committing several logical fallacies and instantly lose the debate like the huge loser you are.

Because Star Wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there's actually no evidence that any of their ships etc. are any larger than the models that were constructed for the filming. Every time we see, say, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, etc., he might only be millimeters tall at the most. In that case, it is easy to imagine that William Riker might, for example, step on the Emperor and feel nothing more than the light spark of a dry shag carpet
