“Is that another Borg time sphere?”

“Captain, I believe the borg may be attempting to alter the past - to prevent themselves from ever encountering Dr. Cochran’s music.”

Will Riker is. Thomas is the original.

Recycling tragic accidents is just good policy, and necessary to preserve the ecosystem on visited planets.

If we happen to get a few cloned bridge officers out of the bargain…that’s just good fortune.

There’s not an ounce of Cyan in Riker’s body, but this thing still refuses to materialize without a new cartridge!

It’s a network issue.

It’s not always a network issue!

Nothing will change.

People say this often, but things do change.

I’m guessing they’re talking about Open Office, while you’re comparing to Only Office.

I’m starting to think open source may not win the “great job naming things” trophy, this year, either.

I hope that Lower Decks goes on to be as un-killable as Futurama.

Near perfect summary.

I just want to tack on that Tawny Newsome looks destined to be Trek’s next Jonathan Frakes - dipping in and out of Trek projects and leaving entertainment excellence in her wake.

(P.S. Dear Tawny and Jonathan, please don’t have done anything deeply horrible to someone while I composed this. Thanks.)

I want Miles x Bashir to be cannon so bad.

Miles x Bashir is canon. It’s just the exact details that are left to the imagination.

That is so speciesist that i’m reporting you to Humanoid Resources.

I miss that department before it was just Odo disguised as the table.

Bashir sighs with relief that nobody’s caught on

He’s just fascinated with frontier medicine!

Gay assassin spy with daddy issues who is also an excellent tailor.

Many of these points are merely allegetions.

But one time it wasn’t Jeffery Combs.

Edit: I looked it up - it was Jeffery Combs, that time, too. Nevermind.

What happens in Quark’s holosuite stays in Quark’s holosuite, for a very reasonable privacy surcharge.

Edit: Now I’m thinking about how even an imagined obnoxious behavior by Quark is still somehow dramatically more ethical than average corporate policies in 2025…I need to go sit down.

But he made up for all that by breaking the chronological prime directive, losing control of his ship to mutineers, and allowing his racism to nearly start a war with the Klingon empire.

So really, who are we to judge.

I could do the same analysis for Admiral Janeway, but I’m afraid she would shoot me, Tuvix me, or write me out of history.

The “or some such” was pretty wild.

I always figured the ending was to get the episode to air at all during the era. Like it wasn’t obviously pro-tranistion, because no official protagonist transitioned or loved someone who did. :(

I’m thankful that Trek has managed stronger message with actual protagonists, since.

Of course, it must have also been to ensure the sacred expectations of television networks that episodes can air in any order because nothing meaningful changes.

“You gotta romance a fine robot like that!”

Fuck. You win, for the peak combination of awful and likely to happen. No one tell Paramount.
