Watching Realm of Fear. Did they use this exact same graphic before? Because I remember commenting on how it looked like supergiant Sol being absorbed by the green sun or whatever in Homestuck

Was plexing a thing in the 90s or was it invented by Star Trek. Both seem equally likely

I honestly have no idea. I had never heard of it before seeing this episode, though.

E: After googling, apparently that term is specific to Star Trek, but there's a thing called the "Emotional Freedom Technique" that utilizes pressure point tapping. It's mostly nonsense.

And apparently the other ship's problem was caused by an explosion at the transport chamber. I wonder how Barclay'll react if he hears about it

That specific thing, Trek invented, but watch Troi closely in future episodes.

This is the first episode of Star Trek to confirm souls exist and it is also the last (because the transporter is a Xerox in every other episode)

A real hellraiser


Weird Star Trek dream last night. Was beamed aboard DS9 somehow and explaining to them I was from a universe where this was a fictional show. I was being debriefed on my self, my knowledge of Starfleet history and events by Sisko and Jadzia Dax to determine what I know, and what I had to be sworn to secrecy on, where my skills may be useful in the station, etcetera.

When talking about First Contact I mentioned the crew of the Enterprise E stopping a Borg invasion and ensuring Dr Zephram Cochrane succeeded in first contact then I saw this look on their face and suddenly realized these events hadn't happened yet, I started panicking and saying "Oh poo poo I hosed up" and they were trying to get me to calm down, I ran out of Sisko's office and woke up.

Suddenly, an officer from the 29th century steps out from behind a bulkhead. "You and I need to have a chat about the temporal prime directive."

This is almost the exact opposite of Far Beyond the Stars.

I would head straight for the holosuite, program a Star Wars scenario and sell it to Quark for %10 rental fees plus first right of refusal on future projects (he negotiated down to this from my initial ask of %50).

I never had any dreams where Star Trek is real because unfortunately I don't really have very fantastical dreams. However one time I dreamt I met Avery Brooks shopping in a general store in some touristy place.

I did actually manage to meet LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner at a con earlier this year so that's the first time I ever met any Star Trek people and that was cool. They also had Ric Flair and Justin Roiland at that con.
