That Creepo Geordi posted:So, I'm guilty, okay? But not of what you think. Of something much worse. I'm guilty of reaching out to you, of hoping we could connect. I'm guilty of a terrible crime, Doctor. I offered you friendship.

Fun fact: that episode was written by Maurice “sexually harass Gates McFadden” Hurley. This probably explains why the episode ends with Brahms apologizing to Geordi for being mad at him for having a holo-sex doll of her.

He just wanted to. Maybe he should have led with that.

I always assumed that Geordi definitely didn’t have sex with that hologram but when he gets called out he certainly acts like someone who definitely had sex with that hologram.

Leah: Did you have sex with a hologram of me? Normal person: Absolutely not but the computer did program this hologram to say some weird stuff so I understand this must feel very uncomfortable and invasive and I apologize for not warning you about this. Leah: Did you have sex with a hologram of me? Geordi: Oh so I’m the bad guy now? You’ve been a huge bitch since you got here and all I’ve been trying to do is date you. Might as well lock me up for the crime of being nice, wow, I guess no good deed goes unpunished, Doctor!

Since we now know Geordi eventually fucks and produced offspring, I fully expect some throway line or two that's he's married to Braun, because it's an easy callback to make. (And they'd never actually think about how that actually would go)

He's actually married to Brahms the composer, who was brought forward in time to fight off the disco bots from fluidic space in 2364.

I want to find out that, in a twist of the grimdark current Star Trek, O'Brien is happy, healthy, and living out his retirement with Keiko and they get along perfectly.

Dabir posted:Fed scientists can create artificial organs that do the job just as well as organic ones up to and including parts of your brain. If someone asked for it, they could survive way past 200 on an increasingly artificial body. iirc in the Iain M. Banks Culture its normal to live 200-300 years or so before you euthanize and it's okay but Unusual to live longer which seems plausible in that utopia. but the day-to-day utopian aspects of the Federation are really poorly thought-out because thats the boring part and Trek was never about worldbuilding. oops it turns out that makes their Dark takes on what's going on with Earth really lovely though (DS9 is excepted ofc precisely because it was deliberately set on the frontier in the first place) this is relevant because it's canonical that Culture agents visited Earth in the 70's and also watched TOS and thought it was silly

Also it's somewhat common to ask for a revival when the culture sublimes.

Trixie Hardcore posted:I used to wish ds9 were more popular because I love that show and want everyone to see it but in retrospect it’s obscurity has been a blessing I wouldn't say that show that ran for seven years in primetime to audience of millions is an obscure one, but I agree that it was saved by TNG and VOY being more popular, the format being season-long arches with story that had ended, and Avery Brooks retiring so aggressively he hasn't done much since. So your story has nowhere to naturally go with this setting, you cannot get all the characters anyway, and this is the audience's third (fourth if TOS is counted) most favorite crew. So maybe lets reconsider the movie deal.

i was posting a bit about this in tv/iv but i don't like the ferengi redesign in picard. i don't think i've seen them in discovery and will not be searching to confirm this because i know it'll just piss me off their original characterization was terrible, so DS9 basically rebooted the entire race. this had some potentially problematic implications (a lot of people see it as veiled antisemitism and overt misogyny), but that was the point: the ferengi are hypercapitalists. they are a caricature of (what today we would consider) the right wing, here. of course they're going to put a weird emphasis on big, manly features:  we're given several episodes that deal with "big lobes" being desirable in their society, and they deal with them well. we're basically shown that it's bullshit macho posturing, because it is. but that's also a very important thing to a ferengi — quark says that, in essence, a lobeless ferengi is no ferengi at all so that guy was literally and figuratively decapitated. subtle
