The best part about this is in countless other shows they would have had Sisko respond with your tired “Actually marriage is about love and respect and blah blah blah.” But Sisko knows that’s what Martok is talking about and approaches it on his terms.

Exactly! It's also one of those things that could've just been a sexist husband-vs-wife diatribe in the hands of, say, Voyager's writers, but you can really tell even without Sisko being involved that it's all just subtext for a happy loving marriage. He will lose the war in the end, and he wouldn't have it any other way

I have to wonder what Martok's response would have been if someone pointed out "hey, with that warrior's heart beating in your ol' buddy's chest, do you think he would have preferred to pass away an old man in a comfortable home, or out in the wilderness on one last hunt?" Now now, assuming the worst because she has a horse is a very un-Trek attitude to have.

Could have meant a seahorse. Then again, between boats, horses, and saltwater aquariums you can wind up spending hundreds of thousands on poo poo that never works correctly/is destroyed from the slightest of mistakes.

Tighclops posted:Actually I believe that is exactly what happened It wasn't contractual but the script called for Picard and Kirk to meet at a rustic cabin. The house itself was actually a random ranch that they found through location scouting, same with the stable. The horses Picard and Kirk ride are Shatner's horses, though, which leads to a very beautifully poetic moment, because Stewart had almost no experience on horseback, and the horse he rode got very skittish. So when Picard finally catches up to Kirk, his horse is kind of circling around Kirk's and vice-versa, both sniffing around and being all "WTF, is everything okay here?" Mimicking the two captains coming to terms with each other. Timby fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Aug 11, 2018 |

Shatner’s horse obsession is my favorite TOS cast eccentricity. At the very least it’s better than Takei’s obsession with parroting ten old memes and clickbait links per day.

Shatner's entire social media presence is, and always has been, run by his daughter Melanie. As I recall, he barely knows how to use email.

I love the story from Star Trek 5 where Shatner spends a few minutes giving Nimoy advice on how to ride horseback, while forgetting or not knowing that Nimoy had been in a bunch of westerns before.

Cythereal posted:Yep, the official explanation is that it's the EPS - Electro-Plasma System - conduits that bring power from the warp core to everything on the ship rupturing. Why consoles need to be directly connected to the EPS network is a question for the engineers. Its not so much the consoles that explode. It's just that the plasma plumbing for a ship is so dense that no matter where you are, there's extreme power inches from your body at any given time, and usually directly behind a computer panel. Like, at an office your foot is right next to power adaptors and poo poo that would be pretty dangerous just by itself if it were prone to sudden power surges. That can be ameliorated in your office by having breakers, but the power requirements of a starship goes beyond some laptops and maybe a laser printer. Just for you to stay alive, you have environmental systems, gravity plating and inertial dampening field emitters. Then you have shield emitters, replicators, fire suppression, wall-to-wall sensors, forcefield emitters, hologram projectors and transporter arrays which are basically everywhere in the ship. Then there's the major ship systems which are distributed at different points and all connect at the bridge which all have universe-destroying power requirements. So because of the power and efficiency requirements, you can't just use wires, which means safety is harder, and it has to be everywhere so you end up with a basement bitcoin rig (or a complex factory or submarine) but with tubes of star-hot plasma. It sometimes doesn't go well, but I guess it would go worse if you couldn't prevent extinctions and such.
