Gorn have ballsacks? Aren’t they lizards, so they should be internal.

Oh god I’ve turned into one of the snitties haters haven’t I

I guess that’s the orthodox interpretation, that it’s the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he’s doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they’re still liquid. And they don’t call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying “Ooh, a practiced hand!” in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.

Honorable mention to some of the aliens they interact with in Enterprise, before the Universal Translator was fully working. Though technically they weren’t the Federation yet.

Actually, progressing in an interesting if not promising way. There’s been a ton of debate about how to handle the Ireland/North Ireland border due to brexit, and what they’ve recently settled on is basically creating a sea border between North Ireland and the rest of England so that the land border between Ireland and North Ireland can stay unrestricted. I’m not an expert, but this guy is and he’s made several videos about it I like: https://www.youtube.com/@williamcfox/videos

I instantly love this image, what’s it from? Some kind of Tomb Raider comic?

But…we’ve seen it. It happened in an episode. Dude can’t cook eggs.

Tell me you wouldn’t watch at least 30 minutes of Riker failing to scramble eggs.

Absolutely. I like talking about design with people perhaps too much!

Well with Data it’s different, they didn’t know how to make a copy of him, only papa did and it took him most of a lifetime.

Transporter shenanigans are, admittedly, just something you gotta hand-wave.

Maybe the academy is just a terrible educational institution. Basically all we see of it is weird mind games, like simulated terrorist attacks and tests you automatically fail… Maybe Picard thought of the gardener as a mentor because he was the only adult there not fucking with him.

Hey, sorry for the delayed response, I have been traveling.

That rule originally came from when we were a much busier subreddit. I recognize it’s harder to really be “active” now, with so few threads. If they want to try to be a part of the community, I have no objection to them making a post about their game. No specific definition of what “active” means in terms of number of comments or anything, we’d just like to avoid the kind of drive-by spam of “buy my game kthnxbai”

After awhile, Poseiden comes and kicks your ass until you stop. Live by the magic sword, die by the magic sword.

No, they relinquished Tarak Nor

I like the mental image of a dwarf ship that’s 6 ft tall and got 47 masts to make up for it.

In fairness, there was a whole episode of ds9 about obrien struggling with his trauma.

Maybe their therapy techniques are as advanced as their other forms of medicine?

Imagine the emotional and physical damage of taking your first shit in thousands of years.

It can still be utopian and aspirational without every character being those things. The same way you could have a show where you explore the concept of Justice by having a profoundly unjust main character. Or a show about Sin with a righteous main character. Sometimes you explore a theme by demonstration, sometimes by contrast.
