I suspect a lot of the TNG era issues with flavor/texture coming of replicated food has more to do with the person programing those flavors having no idea what they were doing in the kitchen and just mashing something together. Either because the “person” coming up with the pattern is the computer system; or because the person was some one like Barclay who might be handy with the ship’s systems… but, doesn’t understand the first thing about food and couldn’t cook a ham sandwich.

Or like with alien foods… just simply not understanding what the food is or is supposed to be. Like how you never really see Mediterranean cuisine put garlic and mint together, even though the two are basically ubiquitous in that cuisine. Someone who reads a quick note that those two flavors are common might make the mistake of thinking they’re used together, unless they actually know something about cooking. Maybe that alien culture you just read the cliff notes on has weird taste buds. or maybe they enjoy the dissonant flavoring.

naw. I didn’t really read it. I just jumped straight to the jokes about peptides in the comments,

or have a picture of Bester from Bab 5, in his Psi Corps uniform. (rather than Checkov. They were played by Walter Koenig, which always throws me for a loop.)

Kirk was far from the worst captain in Starfleet. which really says something about those other captains.

damn you. I didn’t notice. and now I can’t not notice.

we can work that into Adm. Patrick’s Star Trek: The Magnificent Ferengi

I don’t really care as long as Brunt is being tortured harder than Miles and Kim combined.

He has to pack it away to do the rest of the crew’s laundry. and if he wants to actually tie it up, he has to pay a slip for each hook.

maybe with a little Have Phaser, Will Travel thrown in, yeah.

You know… I’d love to see a Star Trek series based on Quark captaining a ship somehow. We can have Brunt play the role of pitilessly tortured crewman.

Oh. Right. Now I remember. Tuvix.

TNG cloned Ryker. DS9 had that mirror universe arc. I forget if voyager had anything.

But the Ryker thing raises the question… is it really a transportation device or if they’re just flash-cloning a new copy? Like. Think about it. The accident was that a second Ryker showed up. A second flash clone.

And let’s be clear. In ENT, the nxo1 was the first ship to have a transporter. They had a few accidents. It was likely that they use it for things that didn’t matter and only people as a last resort.

Remember, even by TOS, they were still having the occasional accidents with them.

In ENT it was quite literally bleeding edge tech.

though I’ll admit he kissed her twice and got slapped by her.

this says more about Andrea than Kirk. Mostly that she has good taste.

there was that one episode with the shape shifting salt fiend.

I mean, like. She’s not ugly, and he’s kirk, so, like that went without saying. or showing.

at least he waxed his chest this time

remember Angel One?

Where’s the bacon and toast?

“He’s dead, Jim.”

Why are we so backwards?
