Everyone hates Neelix cause he's comic relief but people forget the time he ordered a crew member to desecrate the burial mound of a primitive culture to make weapons from the bones.

there's no logical reason not to desecrate burial mounds

it's just silly superstition

The scene would work with Tuvok, explaining why it's okay. But it's the silly rat monkey guy with no pause to think about what they're doing. The crewman is shortly eaten by a lizard monster.

This implies Dr Noonian Soong sitting at a workbench testing a robotic penis ejaculating over and over again.
He would sometimes look down at his own penis, and mutter 'Needs more Torque, and less salt.'

I seriously doubt that Data's penis ejaculates a simulacrum of jizz created by a protein powder mixed with water gathered from air condensation.

Ron Moore, who was responsible for every good Klingon episode of TNG, and who wrote a ton of amazing DS9 stuff, and who was behind the BSG reboot did like a month on the Voyager writing staff and quit in disgust

He came back occasionally, one time teaming up with Bryan Fuller to make a B'Elanna episode that was actually interesting and character building, just to show he could spin gold out of poo poo. (Barge of the Dead)

I'm kind of worried that the new trek show will keep the moral and ethical quandary theme but add in lots more rape and grimdark.

"Commander, the Prime Directive is clear. We cannot interfere with Rapetron VI, rape is a fundamental part of their culture. Who are we to decide the fate of an alien world?"

The Enterprise theme music alone is murder-suicide-inducing.

I remember really liking it when the show first started, mainly because 9/11 was just a few weeks prior so the idea that everything was gonna be fine and we're gonna go to space and gently caress you Osama I'VE GOT FAITH OF THE HEART YOU BITCH was pretty cathartic.

Do you think any of the Borg that are around in Trek times are really Borg? I mean, their whole method of reproduction is via assimilation (except for in Q Who?, where there were incubators for Borg babies), and their cubes seem to explode a lot, so how many originals could there be left?

I didn't mean the Borg Queen was an original Borg either. She;s from Species 125, which means she's almost certainly a delta quadrant species and not a Federation scientist.

It was maybe a Trek book that played around with the idea that the Borg originated as a technological virus that eventually integrated organic lifeforms to achieve total perfection.

Well they went out of their way to make sure the word Ferengi never came up in that episode. The Borg episode was different. I guess they were trying to explain why the Borg seemed so obsessed with the Federation, a low-tech collection of planets on the other side of the galaxy from the Borg. According to the episode it's because Future-Borg contacted 22nd Century Borg and told them "These fuckers need to go" so that's why.

Well that's sort of out the window, since it was Q's designation of dangerous, not Starfleets. Q doesn't really give a poo poo about the Borg, other than a tool to intimidate Picard.

Actually in the abortion of an episode Q2, Dad Q tells Son Q "Don't provoke the Borg!" as if there's some kind of danger the robot zombies could ever put the Q into.

Did Species 8472 even have ships? I seem to remember them just swimming through Fluidic Space. Seems like it'd be hard to mobilize strategic attacks on the Borg that way.

Star Trek Armada 2 made a bunch of 8472 ships and they're basically the Zerg.

Didn't Enterprise have a species where all the ships and space stations were made from hundreds of tiny dodecahedral one-man ships? I liked that idea but you just know if you lived and worked inside your tiny ship it would smell like White Castle in like a week.

Why is everyone (or is just goons) hating on Dark Matter so much? I mean it's not high art but it's decent Sci-fi. I liked the first season.
Take the plot of Farscape, then remove every ounce of creativity, replace the cast with a checklist of default character types, then poo poo it out of your rear end in a top hat and call it Dark Matter.

But I'm telling you no joke it's all worth it for Willy Wheats trying to play an evil character.

I was just thinking something about the fast time planet episode: If time was passing at a rate of about 1 day a second, and they knew this and had some rudimentary understanding of their language and were observable via telescope, why not try to use the ship's external lighting or something to flash an extremely rapid on-off signal code to them? Or would that have not worked?

If they rapidly had the lights strobe out a message over the course of a few seconds and kept repeating it, they might have been able to arrange some gradual conversation to the point of telling them what was going on.

Also why ever leave that planet? Chill out there for a few days and they'll have super duper warp drive and send you home. And then a few days later they'll rule the Galaxy.

Voyager's "Before and After" timeline is the best timeline. Kes marries Tom, Tom and Kes have a daughter, she's half Ocampan so she's a hot piece of rear end at two years old and then Harry Kim fucks her and makes a grandson for Tom.

What is the IP/copyright on replicated food? I mean, what if you go into a little hole in the wall and you find that perfect mashed potatoes and gravy or chocolate cake. Could you take an order to go and throw it into the replicator scanner and have it all the time?

I'm reading a book right now called Trekonomics and it makes a compelling case for "prestige" and "reputation" being the fundamental currency of the Federation.

So you wouldn't have to go to a brick and mortar location to get that specific chocolate cake because it would eagerly put it in the main database. And you wouldn't hide that chocolate cake file on a thumb drive, because having your name on that recipe as it is enjoyed by billions of satisfied citizens makes you wealthy in Federation society.

My favorite TNG episode was that one where they found the cryogenically frozen Americans from the 90's and they were all like b-b-b-b-but MY CAPITALISM.

I just watched it and The Neutral Zone is indeed cool and good. Patrick Stewart activated Shakespeare-mode when he tore Gordon Gecko a new rear end in a top hat at the end.

Also Marc Alaimo.

Also portent of Q Who though I don't think it was intentional at the time cause they hadn't come up with the Borg yet.
