Federation ships don't have toilets but what about other races? Are Cardassian toilets shaped like bajoran workers? Do ferengis poop out of their ears?

TOS is boring and is behind voyager in any serious rankings.

So based on that infinite regression mirror is the idea that he modeled his house to be some forgotten dank deck 500 basement that janeway pulled those maladjusted weirdos from for that one episode?

Very apropos if so, then.

Lol an hour and 30 min. Too much of a time investment. What are they renegading about? And poor chekov looks so bored and disgusted with himself in a scene I skipped into.

Oh no poor corin nemec what's happened to you, I had the biggest crush on you in sg1 I don't want to see you like this :(

Why would the other powers even need to go into a shooting war anyways. Fed space is so vast that it's unlikely anyone could overtake all of it before the feds nut up and go into full war mode, which everyone from the romulans to the klingons acknowledged would be a bad thing. The cardassians were nothing comparatively but they still managed to bully, carve out and annex space. The romulan neutral zone always seemed understaffed.

It would have served everyone better if they just continued to take over fed space through aggressive diplomacy. If the founders continued to expand the cardassian empire diplomatically they prob would have become the major quadrant power in a few decades. If your enemy publicly prefers to roll over why would you force them to fight?

I have... and I don't... A remember a long long sequence of starship porn. I think some klingons getting blown up, a bald woman, "PHOTON TORPEEDOS... AWAAAAYYYY!!!!", and spock slowly drifting towards V'ger.

That is all I remember of TMP.

Edit: I've seen that movie atleast six times.

:laffo: i endured it three times and these scenes are exactly all i can recall as well

what a terrible mess that movie is

Not so much bullied as they chose not to use their obvious superior power and clout in negotiations. They could have obviously told the Cardassians to gently caress off when they were trading those border worlds back and forth (because lol what are they gonna do? throw a bunch of galor class ships that a nebula class easily picked off?).

If anything they're pushed around because they stick to their own dumb rules. The feds could probably steamroll over the sheliak and the darmokians but probably choose to treat them better in the off chance they apply for membership.

Finally Romulans use a loving black hole to power their ships and I think it's safe to assume the Enterprise's warp core generates a similar level of power. That's why every time something damages the warp core the entire ship explodes.

Eh. Wasn't a D'deridex the size of like, 5 enterprises? Plus I assume to cloak the whole thing used a ton of power. I assumed it's why they were the only race shown (?) to use something other than dilithium, a black hole provides a lot more energy for their dumb big ships.

Picard: Let this trial show that Data has the rights of a living being, to not be disassembled for some experiment at say-so of a random Starfleet commander! He is alive, and the living have rights!

...a few years pass...

Lt. Commander Data: Lore stirred up the Borg something fierce. We must permanently disassemble on my say-so rather than allow him a trial.

Picard: Whatev.

I like to think that data's trial was not a broad ruling on all AI but just limited to him as he was "unique". Or otherwise that tribunal thing they set up did not have the jurisdiction to bind federation policy to define life at all and the fed higher ups just went with it to not annoy picard or rile up the tumblrinas of the future.

i almost wondered why a race of people living by the mob code would be pretty much human but then i remembered that a race of ancient humanoids jizzed on every planet in the galaxy and that's why everyone evolved to be humanoid

what a terrible episode

Janeway should have had that forced integration on pain of death conscription scene with Chakotay and the maquis in the first episode like she did with that nova class alien gas chamber ship

Then we could spend the first season with growing animosity towards the two crews, with the season cliffhanger having the maquis with a successful coup but finding out both sins need each other or some nonsense.

Or when the dominion war was heating up why didn't they use Spock's time travel implosion formula to go back a few months and mine the wormhole before the dominion flew a bunch of armadas through it.

i just assume every race is constantly flying around suns to go back in time, but future timeships keep sending them back or correcting the timeline
