What exactly would happen if Julian just said no to Section 31 lmao. They cant do poo poo officially, and unofficially idk if they would even bother the risk of exposure that comes with attacking a Starfleet officer

hard agree and there are some really good episode ideas to explore there imo

Isn't that pretty much implied by ENT? The Vulcans are really worried that these idiots did in a century what they did in a millennium and they were sandbagging our attempts to get Warp 5 engine and go outside without their consent.

The first episode is them first even learning about Klingons. And like, they knew they were needing more ships, but you can also get more coverage by having faster ships. Warp speed isn't linear.

Warp 3 is only about 27c, which means it takes 2 months just to get to Alpha Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor. The boomers are going like warp 2, which is significantly slower sure, but that means a warp 3 naval ship has to have cruise durations of years as well, since they'll have to go back and forth. And they can't really respond to anything. Focusing on Warp 5 means125c speeds, so it's like 5 times faster.

Was the episode where the devil shows up to that planet one of the recycled scripts because it always felt like a TOS episode in TNG.

Imagine Odo becoming waves and waves of cum

See, the fun part is once you get past the comic relief Irish stereotypes you get highlights like:

- Riker and Pulaski being cloned without their consent.
- Riker and Pulaski then promptly phasering the gently caress out of their in-development clones with little to no discussion of the ethical ramifications beyond "hey gently caress you for trying to clone us without consent!"
- The episode ending with Picard smirking about how the stuffy clone-obsessed aesexuals are just gonna have to learn to bone down with the Irish sterotypes, teehee.

Is it bestiality if it's a changeling? These are the hard-hitting questions that only DS9 is courageous enough to ask

John Murdoch posted:

There's already an extensive canon of literature covering that.

an episode told entirely from a non-human perspective would be fun (ds9 did a couple of these) where it’s shown how say vulcans see the human captain stereotype of loud charismatic leader as a kind of useful idiot who takes the heat off them while they actually run things from the background

the same way humans see Vulcans as weirdly serious nerds who are good at science

off topic but I read somewhere that when house cats feel they are the dominant one they lick/groom others, but with rabbits the dominant one is the one that gets groomed, and for that reason cats and rabbits as pets can get along really well because they both feel like they are getting the better deal out of the relationship

I’d like to watch humans and vulcans lick each other is what I’m saying

Do you think when Kira kissed Odo she got like a skin flake caught in her lips lmfao

Odo & Kira never made sense, yeah I said it.

Also there was that whole thing about odo being a not reallt reformed fascist, and collaborator.

Would of thought Kira would of had bit more of a problem with that.

Didn't they explicitly say Bajorans were cool with Odo because he tried to find the actual criminal, rather than simply punishing a dozen random bajorans whenever something went wrong. That's why they kept him on as head of station security instead of appointing a Bajoran or letting starfleet completely take over security. If the resistance hated him he would have never gotten the job.

MikeJF posted:

If you do want to fanwank it, we know that there was a lot of chaos after the withdrawal, probably a whole bunch of vying for power and different groups claiming to be in charge. I imagine Odo was just kinda neutrally holding the fort on ex-Terok Nor and enforcing basic law while a bunch of different groups fought about it and nobody was actually in a place to replace him. I can see how they'd all just end up letting him keep on doing his thing in the chaos and then he was basically established when Starfleet and Kira were given the station.

CaptainSkinny posted:

You're telling me that Odo's dossier said that he was appointed by Gul Dukat and both the Bajorans and the Federation signed off on him? The guy has dirt on someone for sure.

DaveWoo posted:

Yeah, let's use this Eddington guy instead, he seems on the up-and-up

It's ok to have characters that don't have massive amounts of development. There was some. He grew and changed a bit as the show went on
