because that sounds like a rad hobby

naval battles fought by robot warships as a form of television entertainment was a plot device in an old book called Colossus and The Crab

In the same regard, I'd also hold that not letting General Martok get in on the Alamo diorama shenanigans was a crime. You know he'd have loved that poo poo.

I have a giant plushie sloth called Gurgi that I got for my birthday. And my mother just mentioned that it's like having a toddler.

All off a sudden I was transported to the past and remembering when I was very little seeing my mother play a game by a man named Tobias Richter. That game was a fan game called "Star Trek: The game of the future of mankind" and it was awesome.

It would have been good if Chief and Doctor exited it looking dejected and Martok comes out gloriously happy because he saved the Alamo and lead them to victory

Sisko: "Yes."

edit:

Worf will never make admiral because he only commits his warcrimes on the holodeck. Unless you count asassination of foreign leaders as a crime.

He didn't do it while in uniform, so it doesn't count.

That story's bullshit, NBC didn't have a problem with a woman as first officer, they had a problem with Gene giving such an important role to his girlfriend.

Particularly his mistress. In addition to the general nepotism, it was a Desilu production and Lucille Ball had some particularly firm views on infidelity. (When she found out he'd hired her as Chapel she nearly shut down the show.)

That said, they were also pretty iffy on the satan-looking character, and it is true that Gene offering up Number One helped him persuade them to let Spock through.

So basically Spock canibalised the Majel Barett character and her cold calculation and being the second in command became features of him.

Now that I think about it, the original brief of Spock being a half human and half vulcan and having a burning emotional side fighting his rational side is probably more explored in the character of Tuvok.
