Applewhite posted:“Counselor” is a euphemism. Troi’s “counseling sessions” generally last about five to ten minutes. is this a remark on how we only ever see her counseling someone for a few minutes at a time, or is this intended to suggest that she helps people cope by loving them

Powered Descent posted:Lt. Galloway, also known as The Redshirt Who They Forgot Was Dead. He got vaporized onscreen, and then reappeared the next season doing security things again. A page back but holy gently caress whoever wrote this is a genius at comedic understatement quote:He was killed on Omega IV by Captain Ronald Tracey in 2268. After exposure to the Omega IV virus and injured from an attack by a hostile tribe, he was vaporized by phaser fire at the hands of the USS Exeter captain. (TOS: "The Omega Glory") Got a genuine gut laugh out of me

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:that's true of the federation at large, but not the enterprise where both conventional combat scenarios and terrifying, inexplicable events happen with great regularity. Sometimes I wonder what poo poo the other ships got up to. Like at one point is it just the Enterprise that has this wierd poo poo happen to them all the time because they're explorers or what about the strange tales of random other ships. Like do we hear Picard or Sisko or anyone ever go "Hey did you hear the Crazyhorse crew got imprisoned on a planet of strippers where they turned out to be all turnips from the 5th dimension?" Or from the other side Captain Jellico going "Jesus just what the gently caress is going on that ship? I need to be it's Captain and fix all those messes."

Allegiance was an interesting one to watch against the background of the current "how much does the crew learn" question. Like, if you're Picard, do you eventually tell everyone who was in Ten Forward that it was an impostor, or do you swallow your pride and let them believe that sometimes the Captain holds a singalong session? e: and hypothetically if you ever get made into a puppet of Starfleet's greatest enemy and used to murder hundreds of your peers, are you ever tempted to reuse the impostor excuse?

Also with the reputation of the redshirts dying under Kirk do Starfleet cadets at some point specifically fight their command to station them on that ship and request transfers or resign because they don't want to be killed disposably?

You start out like "I worked so hard to get assigned to the Enterprise, it's everyone's dream to work under Captain Picard, I'm so glad it worked out" and three weeks later you're holed up in a Jefferies tube with an illegal subspace transmitter frantically broadcasting PLEASE GET ME THE HELL OFF THIS SHIP I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW STARFLEET DAYCARES ARE RUN on Romulan hailing frequencies

Good point. Like at some point does the Romulan Empire go "Hey Alpha/Beta Quadrant so our bad, but one of our ships got stuck in a space hole and that made the entire universe fart this really bad Gas...so that's what you were smelling for 4 weeks while we fixed it." And somewhere Riker is seen going "Oooooh so that's what that was. Everyone was just saying I needed to bathe." EDIT: Or what if some Q got to the Ferengi and the Ferengi were like "5 bars of Gold Pressed Latinum to make our Nagus a Q...I can't do more." and the Q was like "Sure, 5 sounds like a lot. What do I care, life is pain and my only solace is anime titties." Gatts fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jun 7, 2020 |

Gatts posted:Good point. That's pretty much what happened in the eps with the Iconians, Tin Man and the higher-dimensional aliens who put their eggs in the Romulan warp core, except the Enterprise was there to intervene. There's probably a dozen sectors in the Romulan and Klingon Empires marked "THAR BE DRAGONS HERE" on the star charts after ships kept being swallowed up by Nagilium or Promellian booby traps or whatever.

Basically the Star Trek universe is Weird, and the Enterprise seems especially weird but actually it's just survivor bias. Maybe that's the problem. People keep sticking The Best of The Best of The Best on the Enterprise and they only leave when they die, so every other ship gets murdered by space dragons because everyone who could have saved them are busy scrubbing cooling ducts and waiting for Geordie to finally bite it for real this time.

The other species in the galaxy have largely made peace with the notion that there are things beyond them, places they don't go, and things they can't do. Humanity by way of Starfleet just keeps belligerently going wherever the gently caress, as if it's their right to do so, and occasionally trying to tell whatever they find there what to do. Q tried to show Picard his hubris and we saw how that turned out

the families on the d wouldn't really be that bad if they ditched the saucer section somewhere safe each time they knew they were going somewhere rough. but you know, budget. and also i think they cannibalized the battle bridge set very early on.

Yeah lets just leave a couple thousand potential hostages on this undefended saucer section while we gently caress about. The borg probably won't find them before we get back. Probably.
