Is that real? 2002 was early enough that Internet porn hadn't reached 100% 24/7 cultural saturation yet, and maybe there was only one computer with Internet access in the house, probably in the living room so there was a big market for bikini magazines where aspiring B actresses could crouch sexily in a porno pose with the words "oh yeah 3somes crouch humping uuuuunnnngh sexual EXXTREEEEME"

I'm pretty sure there's a transporter's Union, like the job pays really well and is hard to get into, solid benefits, and they pretty much can't fire you ever. Like it's boring and unglamorous but even the captain has to tiptoe around obrian to avoid a really nasty lawsuit if he doesn't get his breaks or a paycheck is incorrect

I just noticed that the carpet on tng is that high maintenance 1980's grandma style and that there are vacuum lines showing and wear from feet visible. Somebody has to replicate carpet tiles and replace them regularly, that stuff wouldn't last more and a couple years. Like an office building people spend 8 hours in gets run down looking pretty quick, people spend their whole lives on this boat 24/7

The transporters, security, and a maintenance crew have a union and all hang out in an empty shuttle bay playing cards most of the time since it's the future and everything is automated

Obrian is a typical blue collar exmilitary guy turned contractor, he's the shop Forman and the local union rep, and he's running a protection racket on the side where snitches have a "transporter malfunction" and all evidence vanishes

JediTalentAgent posted:Why don't they just beam intruders into space? Seal all decks and release knockout gas through atmospheric controls. Why not combine the transporter and replicator into a terror weapon that transmutes enemy ship's atmosphere to a writhing mass of screaming sentient flesh and drown them Why not just have your own dilithium crystal powered holodeck and bury it on an ocean floor, crawl in, and nail the door shut

Sunswipe posted:The series would have been great (or at least a lot better) if they'd actually stuck to the premise of Voyager being on its own. Unnamed crew getting killed in other shows didn't matter because it was believable that Starfleet just sent some new red/yellow shirt grunts to replace them. On Voyager it should have been a big deal. Not only on a personal level, but the work that person did now has to be divided amongst the remaining crew. After a few deaths, things are going to be getting pretty tense just because everyone's overworked. "Yeah, I'd love to help you analyse that strange star, Captain, but I've got to repair our inexplicable biological circuits, clean the spooge out of the holodeck and arrest the seventh person today who's tried to kill Neelix." Also everyone onboard has dated everyone else onboard by season 3 at the latest and now everyone is really burnt out and tense and surrounded by ex's like the waitstaff at a small town Applebee's

chaosbreather posted:the other side that people don't tend to consider is that federation society, being post-scarcity, is intrinsically novelty-seeking. you can see a bit of a preview of that on the internet: people constantly look for 'new stuff' and profit is made off novelty 'going viral'. that's why the most valuable resources, starships, are deployed in missions of exploration.

criscodisco posted:You still can't make jizz out of force fields and have it knock a chick up. That's why even in Starfleet everyone treats Data and the doctor nice, but they still knows they're better than them. I'm pretty sure this is how we discovered warp drive

criscodisco posted:If you're going to go that far, you may as well have every room be a holodeck. It's been shown that it's not an issue to patch holographic terminals into the ship's controls, and you could be in your quarters but also be on duty by having the computer simulate the rest of the bridge crew in real time around you, and you in real time around them. Computer, bring up holo-bridge, now run protocol "nude Tane"
