Given that the planet Vulcan has been destroyed, it would not be logical to use sexual intercourse for anything other than procreation.

I hate to say it but Bones is sort of a one note character. A very good one, but yeah. Bev is more fleshed out, but boring.

canon or not gay/lez vulcans would just artificially inseminate and maybe even vatrgow kids come on. even if they adhered to biological means for no reason, poly relationships or something

Would there even be gay vulcans? I can easily see that not being logical in their eyes, and the fact that one might do it for fun or socialization might not make the cut because Vulcans literally hate fun?

hey maybe they don't have gay genes or their pregnancies are way easier and less complex than humans but given they're really just logical pointed eared humans with weird organs, there are probably gay dudes and when pon farr hits bam

Both rode the coattails of powerful men Both were buried deep within the power structures of their societies Both were extremely two-faces and conniving Both were willing to sell out to the enemy for power Both had really creepy smiles that were insincere Both had extremely punchable faces Both made it very close to ultimate power and then lost it all by being defeated by a comically evil devil/clown

Facebook Aunt posted:I've been rewatching DS9 on netflix, after not seeing anything but youtube clips in 20 years. It's okay so far, just into season 3. Winn is a lot worse than I remembered. I remembered her as a condescending power hungry hypocrite who ends up boning Ducat, but totally forgot about the conspiracy to murder Barial. I saw that Bareil episode the other day and it was pretty dumb. "He needs to go into stasis now to save his life." "NO! He must negotiate this treaty! Only he knows the specifics!" "Doctor *coughing* give...give me....an extremely dangerous treatment that will permanently gently caress me up because I can't wait" *procedure is done* "Now that my life has been extended.....tell.....the Cardassian diplomat that his demands were addressed in the initial proceedings." *Dies again* *Kai Winn smugly smiles* "He is pretty much dead but I guess we can give him a Robot Brain to puppet his body long enough to answer more extremely simple and plain questions." Kira is like "I know he would want to give his life to answer questions that could be handled by a cursory spacegoogle search"

What do people think of Section 31? I went through DS9 for only the second time in my life, and was following various web discussions, and am shocked to learn that it's widely hated. People think of the Federation like Americans felt about America on 9/12, and think it was a real betrayal to imply the Federation isn't 100% perfect. Maybe it's just because I never had faith in the government, but even in 1999 when I first remember seeing Sloane, etc. I just went "Oh yea, of course the Federation has to resort to assassins and realpolitik for the edge cases"

I think she may have actually been in one or two prior episodes, but I could be wrong. I know that O'Brien's subordinate from later on in the series was in a few episodes before the ship, and I could be conflating the former's set-up with the latter's.

Their whole thing in DS9 is that they were 100% not an actual part of the Federation, officially or unofficially, they were self-appointed delusional terrorist cells betraying and distorting the Federation's founding principles which a few evil admirals/HQ dipshits looked the other way for when they thought their terrorism accidentally might help the war effort. This was clearly portrayed as wrong and shameful to the pajamas and actually had more consequences on a long-term Federation admiral character's "arc" (Ross) than anything in Star Trek before or since, given that he'd actually existed for multiple seasons as a generally good and reasonable admiral who then compromised himself in an episode other than the one in which he was introduced.

I love it when names get recycled There's an Ensign Janeway S6E3 TNG. I'm watching it in the background as I do some work and my ears pricked up at the name. Actually my first thought in my distracted brain was "Isn't her rank Diktator?" Also I think I remember hearing a planet Bellana (pronounced B'lana or whatever BLT's name is) and a Lt Torres

Blistex posted:The similarities are interesting... Hilary Clinton was actually that religious dude who was pure and noble and was betrayed by Kai Wen and beaten to the top job, because she kept spouting poo poo about "Bajor First! Bajor First!" and how she was going to make Bajor great again. Ultimately supported by a group of idiot fanatics, she gains power in a shock victory. Then when she is in power it became even more obvious she was in it for herself and didn't care about the little people at all, and ultimately was compromised when she was involved in a sex scandal with the enemy who controlled her like a puppet and lead to her downfall. At almost every turn she was busy trying to put Bajor's interests first at the expense of her allies and it always backfired on her. Hate to tell you buddy, but the only difference between Kai Wen and Trump is a) gender and b) Kai Wen is actually good at politics and not a loving moron.
