Also how were they in Kazon space for over a season? Should have been 3 episodes make if they actually used their warp drives.

Also remember that WATER, WATER was a luxury item in that part of the delta quadrant.
They had warp drives that bent space, but no way to make one of the easiest poo poo in the universe.

The Doctor fared much better over 7 seasons as a believable non-aged character than Data did, mind you Data's makeup didn't play nice after awhile and movies forced him into longer than 7 seasons worth of time.

Psst, its easier to act like an aut man-child than do real acting.

Voyager should have been the Equinox.
Those poor bastards had it tough in the Delta Quadrant, and Janeway had to be high and mighty about the loving Prime Directive.
Bitch, you hosed up the Ocampa homeworld forever within the first day arriving there and then you hosed up leaving them to the space hillbilly Kazons.

That's the part about the portable computer that they got wrong - you would never need all those tablets because all the information you would ever want can be accessed from one. The tablets in star trek were more akin to ebook readers.

I remember reading once some one explain that the differing pads are for differing levels of security.
So Picard at the top has access to a fuckton, but ensigns would only have access to the one that their department uses.

I think one of the least convincing things in DS9 is that they tried to portray O'Brien as some ultra bad-rear end.

Sure I'll accept replicators, warp drives, and all of that future technology. But you are telling me that this pudgy Irish dude is somehow John Space Rambo? He single handedly took on dozens of enemies and can go against trained assassins that are filled with psychotropic drugs?

Nah it's fine if he is attacked by soldiers that were genetically engineered to be killing machines. Just a couple double fists to the back or an uppercut and the overweight Irish dude is cleaning house.

Was it though? The guy who solved it used and invented cutting edge techniques that Fermat would never have had access to. For Picard, a student of history, it seems the real mystery would be to prove the theorem using period maths.

Is Picard a math genius though?

chaosbreather posted:

compared to fermat, absolutely. consider that 8 year olds on the enterprise learn calculus

I read Simon Singh's book on Fermat's Last Theorem, the entire history upto it being solved.
And he said Fermat and other of the world's best mathematician's of that time only had access to a level not much higher than what school kids are taught in maths today.
So I can totally see 8 year olds in 300 years time being taught poo poo we were taught at 15-16 currently.

The Seska character could have been cool if they didn't introduce her and out her as a spy like the second or maybe third episode that she's in. If they would have had Janeway lock up somebody every few weeks, while Seska cat and mouses around the ship with Tuvok would have been super cool. Whelp another wasted thing.

She should have gotten pregnant on the ship, Chakotay's, and is found out only by the Doctor doing a scan of the baby. It would be even more shocking, going from intimate lover to self serving traitor.
But no, she did the dirty with a Kazon instead of just loving taking a copy of Voyager's science library and becoming the Stephanie Jobs of the Delta Quadrant selling tech.

Never understood the end. Why would Gul Dukat celebrate any Bajoran achievement. A competent Cardassian officer would taken the opportunity to make Sisko disappear.

And surely Cardassia would have destroyed the ruins or evidence they 'just discovered' of their slave race for the last century was actually superior then they were at one time.
They would have went Taliban/ISIS on it, and wiped it from history instantly.
