How come Picard didn't retire and write books about the people of Kataan after the events in The Inner Light? I mean, he had a big time interest in archaeology, and he spent something like 40 or 50 years there, wouldn't he want to honor them by telling their story to the galaxy? I mean, it's explicitly what they wanted. Whoops meant to put this in applewhite's thread, oh well. Nigmaetcetera fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jun 8, 2016 |

girth brooks part 2 posted:He enjoyed being a captain more than archaeologist. They sent the probe to a research institute at the end, so presumably there's some poor ensign somewhere who's job is to get brain jacked and relate what happened. I'm pretty sure the thing burnt out at the end of the episode. Poor Kataanians, nobody will ever know of them except through Picard's boring flute recitals.

I wish they had continued DS9 for one more season but with no new storylines, just showing the consequences of the dominion war and its aftermath. Specifically, I want to see Rom get thrown from the ferengi tower of commerce for causing a quadrant-wide economic crisis due to his radical reforms.

criscodisco posted:At some point Janeway made Neelix sort of a crew liason, and he was laying out a list of crew grievances. At the end of the list he mentioned that there aren't enough "facilities" to go around and finishes with something to the effect of "and we all know what a Bolian can do to a bathroom!" I think it was implied that their excretions were caustic. I think they also mentioned that this made sex and reproduction between bolians and humans problematic, but I'm tired and I don't want to think about this anymore.

Worf was only so attached to outdated klingon customs because he knew Federation culture would eventually be the end of his peoples' unique way of life. Same with federation puppet Grand Nagus Rom. I can't be the only one who was pissed that Ferenginar adopted social democracy in season 7, I mean, does every single society in the alpha quadrant have to be a sterile, emotionless copy of homo sapien/vulcan cultural hegemony?

Gorelab posted:Honestly I always assumed that like 95% of the Klingon's we see are essentially nobles and that the normal Klingon's just basically did their own thing. I bet they all pay lip-service to the warrior ethos though, and they'll get flustered if you ask them how the children's shoe store they own contributes to the glory of the empire. They probably all have prepared statements memorized in case any rear end in a top hat son of mogh types start interrogating them and threatening to burn down their store, as is the right of a Klingon born to a noble house.

Crosspost from the other, inferior trek thread:Nigmaetcetera posted:I'd pay some Argrathi computer janitor to get me some of their mind-prison technology. I'd bring it to Quark, tell him that he's got to know somebody that can modify it to feel good, mass-produce, and market it. Probably a bunch of people with all sorts of crazy poo poo on their faces. In exchange I want one with new scenarios built to my specifications in perpetuity, 10% of all profits gained from it and derived technologies, to be officially, legally recognized as a Ferengi so that the 17th rule of acquisition will apply to me (he knows the nagus, shouldn't be a problem), and to get my face on the cover of Ferengi Entrepreneur magazine's entrepreneur of the decade issue (with tastefully photoshopped lobes). I might end up in mind-prison for espionage a few times, but it would be worth it because I could just set the drat thing to PTSD therapy mode for three real-time days and spend 100 years getting my head straight. It would offer consumers all the positive aspects of The Nexus without having to destroy any pre-industrial civilizations. I mean, unless you programmed it to simulate you getting to destroy countless pre-industrial civilizations. Whatever gets you off, bro. I have it on good authority that Admiral Janeway uses hers for exactly that purpose every night before bed. Also for loving Irishmen.

shadow puppet of a posted:So was Tosk. Tosk just needed the concepts of law, adjudication, etc. explained to him. If he asked for asylum on earth, even if he got it, he would never really be safe, because The Hunters could still appeal any legal ruling made. It would be the ultimate display of a hunter's wits, defeating his prey in a courtroom. If they won they might very well have shot him the instant the judge rang that fruity little bell that they apparently use in Federation legal proceedings. The Hunters were presumably minor members of The Dominion, too, so prior to the Dominion War he might very well have been extradited back to them in a futile act of attempted appeasement.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:He could have totally run off with the Major as well. That episode of those two desperately trying to not gently caress was one of the better character episodes for both of them. Naw, there was never any real risk of them running off together, just banging eachother in a painfully beautiful moment of tragic, beautiful, romantic weakness. A 9 1/2 weeks type scenario would've been the absolute farthest things would go. God, now I want to see it. To be fair though I'd like to watch almost any two people have sex.
