First of all, isn’t it strange how every single child on the Enterprise is “very mature for their age”?

Life as a child on a starship must be terrifying to say the least. At least once a week there’s a red alert followed by violent shaking; the kids are probably sharing any and all all information on red alerts amongst themselves.

Then, there’s the “away mission roulette wheel” where there’s a significant possibility that a parent isn’t coming home. Most children are going to be at least aware of that possibility and will probably know another child that did loose a parent during an away mission. Children that lost both parents are going to be more of an urban legend as they would have been removed from the ship, thus loosing their friends as well…

How do people like Counselor Troy resolve this?
By encouraging the children to make arts and crafts in the likeness of the one person that has any control over the terror and uncertainty they experience!

Have the children unconsciously convinced themselves that the captain will spare them, their loved ones, and not fly the ship into immediate danger if their crappy cardboard art is good enough, is it ever good enough?

Instead they went backwards.

In the TOS timeline, Khan could have stood on the street outside Admiral Marcus’s dumb meeting with a phaser rifle and taken the entire top of the building off in a few seconds. Or used a photon grenade launcher. Hell he wouldn’t need one. He could throw it.

In OUR time we can take out the top of a building more effectively

Instead his little ship shoots….green flechettes?? WTF is that?? They can’t even penetrate a fucking pillar! Pike survives one point blank to his chest for a while.

This is why we thawed Khan out?? This is what we’ve been developing for 30 years? And whatever Kirk is shooting is similar tech. Green pachok pachok shooters that don’t do shit

HAVE YOU TRIED USING PHASERS??

The first thing I do when I sit down at my console is to mute the volume. I think it's just common courtesy, and helps the people nearby to concentrate. But this guy near me doesn't care how loud his button presses are. The other day, he even sang a song about scanning for life forms, incorporating the beeps and boops of the console into his song. Am I wrong for finding this kind of thing annoying?

They'd get a place to stay with food and water. I'd even teach them to sing degrading songs about people who get injured in the factory

I swear I'm not doing it on purpose.

It's just you know, heat of the mission, things happen, you get wrapped up in fixing the sociopolitical problems of the world you're visiting in a way that doesn't violate the Prime Directive, you forget that way back at the very top of the trip a security officer died suddenly.

I mean what is the worst that could happen? They order a crew rotation and I have to awkwardly remind them that the person they are rotating has been dead for three weeks?

Fuck doesn't the chief medical officer report these deaths on their own anyhow?

What did i just say?

So everyone talks about using the 2369 solution of making a transporter duplicate first, but in 2266 the transporter created a different type of transporter duplicates that just had different personalities. All it took was going through the transporter with some magnetic ore.

In this case, we could get the softer, more empathetic Tuvix, or we could just call him "Ix," and then we'd also get "Tuv," who'd be... Less indecisive.

So, my captain is pretty average normally. Cautious guy. Not like the best captain, but not the worst. He's just some shithead from Chicago, really.

Anyway, he started playing some holo based on a 21st media property, and it's started to change him. He seems a lot darker. And he is obsessed with androids for some reason. It was tolerable, but the other day he started babbling about something...like a blue wizard? I don't remember. But, today he just straight up shot a red shirt for a simple mistake. Phaser was on stun though, but damn....

Think I should talk to the EMH about it?

They mentioned The Con of Wrath....did anyone else know about this?
