The transporter was all "welp I guess they're kids now? I'll just shrink these clothes down a bit, no problem here beep boop. Nope nothing unusual about this".

OK I'm on board with this now.

So when the heck does O'Brien leave for DS9? I thought it started with TNG season 6.

I think part of the reason Geordi is so bad with women, other than being a creepy stalker weirdo, is that if a woman were to actually kiss him she'd get his visor jammed right up into her eyes.

If I ever got time to chat with a DS9 writer, I'd ask them if there had been an argument over whether O'Brien and Bashir should have actually hooked up and destroyed his marriage.

But, Vulcans can't be Jewish?

I'd bet there are Jewish Vulcans.

Just like how religion spreads across our planet, you'd think that it could also spread among other species. They'd probably be in the minority, but I'm sure some Vulcans might want to convert. Or any other species or religion for that matter. Buddhist Klingons. Catholic Ferengi. Muslim Betazoids. How about humans that follow the teachings of Kahless? It's a shame the show doesn't present any kind of intermingling of cultures. I guess it's a lot harder to write than "VULCANS = LOGIC"

The thing I hate most about the Enterprise D is how there aren't any restricted areas. The ship is full of civilians and families and kids and any one of them can just wander into engineering whenever they feel like it. Or how about any Klingons or Ferengi or any other number of suspicious characters that they bring on board? Sure, whatever, they get free roam of Starfleet's flagship.

Starfleet security must be the worst loving job.

Good lord the end of "Gambit" is dumb. Everyone is able to instantly not think angry thoughts in the middle of a tense situation. Picard might as well have told them to stop thinking about elephants.

I can't really put a finger on why, but I think Quark's outfits work in a way that Neelix's don't.

Like, he's supposed to be a sleazy slimeball. I'd totally buy that that's something a used starship salesman would wear.

Oh god I hate that episode. It's just painful in every single way. Sub Rosa is spookaly good bad.

So those long vests Klingons wear, what do you think they keep in the pockets? My guess, sunflower seeds. Also O'brien's Altair Sandwich looks great. I imagine its on a sour dough roll.

Sunflower seeds are without honor. Pistachios are a true warrior's snack.

Yes, everyone tried to tell me that multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars" was not actually multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars". Given that it's multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars", the outcome was hardly in doubt.

I can be persuaded (say, from a mock thread there teaching me that a website's community is gross), but surely you don't expect me to believe that multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars" is more than multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars".

I don't think you understand how an actual argument works.

While watching through TNG I tried not to let the science get in the way of enjoying the show. I'll make a few jokes about how silly something is, but it doesn't have to be 100% realistic to be entertaining.

But Genesis is inexcusably bad. Holy poo poo. This episode is worse than Sub Rosa for me.

I'm watching DS9 in order and holy poo poo I forgot how creepy Bashir was in the beginning. If I were Dax I'd be screaming for security every five minutes. You just know he's got cameras in her quarters, just watching her pee..

Well yeah except Dax literally just got done living inside a host who was ten times the womanizer Bashir is. Maybe Jadzia would be creeped out, but Jadzia Dax thinks it's hilarious.

Starfleet Academy obviously has a very broad core curriculum, which is certainly true for the three US military academies. I was an astronautical engineering major but I had to take classes on history, psychology, creative writing, public speaking, and philosophy, to name a few. The saying was "we're so well rounded that we're pointless".

I will give you season 1/2 poo poo because that was the 80s, but season 7 was 1993 and you obviously just had a Bowie wig lying around in the back of Paramount's prop closet.

Yeah, the episode is basically the same format as a sitcom, but with the lives of hundreds of people at stake.

I actually laughed out loud at Garak's "I've made a huge mistake" look.

Like, there are no Ferengi aboard the Ent-D. So if an attack by Ferengi is detected, the replicators could all automatically create phasers that target Ferengi lifesigns.

That sounds like a really bad idea though, for the same reason that booby trapping your house is insanely illegal.
