LividLiquid posted:So I'm watching TNG and Timescape came on, and Geordi, Troi, Data, and Picard spend a bunch of the episode in a runabout, but it seems like it's a different set than the runabout set from DS9. DS9 really only ever showed the forward compartment where you pilot, but the idea was that the aft cabin is reconfigurable - maybe even modular, I may be mixing that up with some other franchise. So if you're a Captain taking it on a long trip, you give it some comfort, but it can also be cargo space or maybe one of a number of other purposes depending on what you need.

Hipster_Doofus posted:FFS he was a sexually capable adolescent who would've died otherwise, and it's not even shown unequivocally that they actually boned. She could've just eased his suffering by doing the finger caressing thing, and maybe melded with him. It got cut from the shooting script, but in STIV the reason Saavik stayed behind on Vulcan is that she was pregnant with Spock's child, so the writers' intent is pretty clear.

lost my old email posted:turbolifts move at supra warp speeds and plot relevant conversations are how the human mind interprets the delizardification process The Oberth-class turbolifts move at warp 10. Step inside, the door closes, and you're instantaneously at your destination in the secondary hull. You're also everywhere else on the universe at the same time, but that's an engineering problem. I'm sure they'll have it solved any day now. Our people are on the threshold of success.

Epicurius posted:McCoy was awesome, though. The problem with the Pulaski/Data thing is that they were trying to recreate the McCoy/Spock relationship, but it didn't work, and I think that was for two reasons. The first is that Spock gave as good as he got. The second is, that for all of his teasing and harassment, McCoy liked and respected Spock, and was pretty vocal in backing him up when anyone questioned his skills or integrity. You didn't get any of that with Pulaski and Data. Yeah with Data coming across as so innocent of human relationships it really felt like she was bullying him.

Admiralty Flag posted:Picking up discussion from the last page but... I thought Melora had an interesting premise, but fell flat in execution. The worst episodes imo are the ones that were lovely from the word "go" and should have been mercy-killed before they even got to the writers' room. For example, Profit and Lace, or Let He Who Is Without Sin.

He also killed the leader of a major allied power, resigned to go fight in their civil war, and (after his Enterprise service) hosed up a vital mission because of his emotional attachment. It's totally understandable why he didn't get promoted. He's not a reliable officer in a general, career sense.

Just because the courts said it, doesn't mean that the schools implemented it, or that society as a whole agreed with it. Often the freedom to not say the Pledge was won case by case, pointing to the SCOTUS decision and saying "How far up do you want to pay to take this before you lose, buddy?" Local and state politicians made plenty of political hay out of things like this. Same with Brown v. Board, it didn't stop segregation, just handed the Feds (and the people) a tool that they could use. Lots and lots of work still needed to be done. Still does, actually.

Or people who believe that the founding principles of the US were at best deeply flawed and at worst deliberately designed to maintain race and class structures, and that the simplistic hagiography we are taught in grade school that idolizes the Founders and their principles straight up lies about the whole thing.

Five years now I've been teaching 11th-12th graders at a school that never had a PA system installed, so school-wide announcements were done by a PowerPoint slide show at the start f 2nd period and teachers were expected to lead the class in the Pledge of Allegiance, the Texas Flag Pledge, and a moment of silence. Not once in five years did I do anything but set the announcements running and ignore them while I took roll. I talked to other teachers in my department, asked if they did the Pledge, always got the same answer: "Well, we're supposed to by state law." "Yeah, but do you?" "Hah, no." This year, as part of a campus security update, we had a PA system installed so that they can communicate lockdown drills etc more clearly. And Admin promised, swore, that's all it would be used for. Not calling students to the office, not announcements, not the Pledges, just drills and safety poo poo. Not a week into the school year they made both the Pledges and a moment of silence a regular thing over the PA. They're getting representatives from student clubs and teams to lead it. I'm wondering if it'll be this year or next that they start doing announcements that way, and calling students to the office. Because why the gently caress not? The Pledge of Allegiance in schools is stupid, and wastes everyone's time, and no student really understands or means what they're saying. It's a dumb sop to pearl-clutching appearance-is-everything assholes with no deeper surface-level understanding of anything and it needs to go away forever. I'll have a raktajino, double strong, double sweet.

Not just instinct - the Moties have a biological need to mate and reproduce, or they will die.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Might be as much because the Borg are no fun, and if they're too provoked they might end up assimilating everyone who is fun. Though the Borg's whole deal is basically innovating by brute force, and they might figure out something that can threaten the Q if they're motivated to, and the Q likely have weaknesses they don't tell anyone about. I think the Q must have some weaknesses along these lines, or else Guinan's El-Aurian martial arts stance is just silly in a way I don't want Guinan to be.

There's at least one mention of it in Season 6 - "Rocks and Shoals". The Jem'hadar tell their Vorta handler that they cannot use their personal cloaking because they're too low on ketracel white. Which is awfully convenient for both the plot of the episode and the fx budget, but at least the writing room thought about it.
