I like dogs well enough, but they're probably the worst possible pet to have for extended space travel, especially in a ship as small as the NX. Data had the right idea with a cat.

Cats smell way worse than dogs imo.

But the worst pet would be any kind of bird.

Doesn't Ent-D have an entire indoor park with forest section and all that crazy stuff, being built as a "bring your family too to ensure that no-one survives" long-distance exploration vessel?

Last time I was on a military plane they had some fancy vacuum that connected to a hole in the floor usually used for dropping stuff.

I can see some engineers coming up with something similar for starship airlocks.

archer struck me as a guy that really wouldn't give a drat about his dog making GBS threads everywhere on the ship. he'd simply ignore it and an ensign would have to clean up the turds as they found them.

Why? It's a fun episode. Trek and Baseball!

I do admit though the Vulcan's dickishness does seem over the top.

We don't see why that Vulcan has a hate boner for Sisko, but it's clear he does. I assume in the Accademy Sisko once got a better score than him on something and he's been spiralling ever since.

Right, but why is he stalking Sisko? To the point of learning a dumb earth game just so he can win it? That's irrational. Dude has a fixation.

i've got a cat that is grumpy, old, and mostly indifferent to my younger cat. however, when my younger cat starts having a lot of fun playing that really pisses off the old man. i figure that was pretty much solok's deal with baseball.

He was in the same academy class as Sisko, and got into pissing matches with him all the time. Of course he'd find out Sisko's favorite sport and then best him at it. Because he's so very logical and not emotional at all.

And not just himself, which would be one thing. But many members of his crew. At least 8 others, likely more like 10-12. To learn the game at the level they showed would have taken a good amount of practice. So a lot of hours.

Imagine the catty gossip on that Vulcan ship. Their captain made a bunch of them learn a dumb game and go out of their way with dumb uniforms and everything to one up some human.

I'll go ahead and say it: Jake's pitching record against the Vulcans was fairly impressive. Allowed a bunch of runs to be sure but he was pitching against essentially atomic Supermen, and in some innings kept them scoreless.

The DS9 baseball episode rules. Worf's lines, Rom's actor's baseball background and how they had to handicap him, and it's just fun. Plus the moral victory isn't hammy. They celebrate the accidental score while having a blast and the Vulcan can't stand it.

Voyager in LA in the 90s was pretty fun. Sarah Silverman on Star Trek is a trip. I liked Tuvok's line about how they could have just worn their uniforms and no one would have noticed.

One day they'll accidentally time travel to Comicon and everybody will think they are cosplaying as some obscure anime.

I don't care about the vulcans being dicks I just think there is literally no sport more boring in the world than baseball. I'd rather watch cricket. At least things happen at a pace more than once every 10 minutes.

You made the right call since that episode was actually 56 minutes of baseball and only baseball. There was only commercial break, at the 7th inning stretch.

Other things that own: the uniforms, and seeing the camaraderie of friends, family and people who work together playing a game and the joy of it all, especially contrasted against some of the really dark stuff that goes down in DS9. Edit - and contrasted against the joyless vulcan bastards who can play but derive no joy from it

I skimmed it

I saw some good bits like Odo ejecting people and Death To The Opposition.

But like, I'm not going to expose myself to any more baseball than that. I respect and value my own time.
