Didn’t they make a transporter copy of Picard using old records when an alien took over his body and killed him or something stupid?

I think alien possessed Picard beamed out as pure energy and they were able to reconstitute him by beaming him back while using a previous pattern as a template or something. Then there's the 2 episodes where they make the transporter into a Fountain of Youth but it's never brought up again. Eighties ZomCom fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Nov 6, 2020 |

The Enterprise had a pattern for his body, his mind was part of the energy beamed out, while the computer in DS9 had to format itself to make room for the crews minds while the patterns for their bodies were stored in the holosuite.

I get the feeling DS9 probably had way less storage capacity than the Enterprise-D. It’s like Starfleet inherited a dusty basement with an old Dell running Windows 98.

I like to imagine it didn't store them so much as just materialise them and parade them around as creepy meat puppets. Really adds something extra to the episode.

Totally new stuff gets by it. It's not perfect. That being said there was an episode where someone had a cold and I was like "Why are you not just doing a pad to pad transport to cure your cold immediately?!?"

I mean, radiation poisoning is the damage caused to tissue from radiation. Even if they can filter out the radioactive elements themselves, the damage has been done and needs to be fixed by some other means.

Can't u just replicate a new body and have a funny forehead alien do a magic ritual to move the spirit? I think you might even have a choice of several different funny forehead holistic approaches to pick

womb with a view posted:Oh god wait so do Tuvok and Neelix both have memories of being Tuvix? Do they know what Janeway did? Do they remember protesting for their collective life? Does Neelix now know everything about Tuvok because his brain was in the same jar and vice versa?? I mean, even if they were able to completely separate out which past memories were Tuvoks and which were Neelixs, they should both have memories of their time asTuvix. However, if they were capable of separating out a merged mind like that, I am sure they could just wipe any memory of the whole thing and everyone pretends none of it ever happened.

Hello thread. I think im finally drunk enough to post in the ST thread again. I'm not sure when I last posted but I think it was either the end of TNG or sometime douring DS9. Either way despite ds9 feeling kind of different it grew on me more than tng did. Some of the episodes I watched with my brother got him engaged as well(GOWRON). Both series were great to leave on as background noise for the slower episodes while the story heavy ones were REALLY good. After ds9 ended I decided to try OG trek which as dated as it might seem. I did see how it caught the imaginations of millions of people. Now im up to the animated series and telling myself im not going to go any further than that. Except I watched Picard as it aired and holy loving poo poo was it bad. Dont ever watch picard, please

The truth is they just put some weak-rear end DRM on the transporter to prevent duplicates, because Picard would spend like forty-five minutes speechifying about what it means to be human every time someone used it to clone themselves

Building up an entire series finale on getting to hear the speech that first united the Federation, only to cut to credits the moment Archer reaches the podium? That takes serious balls.
