That scene was so funny

IIRC, he got the memories when Soong realized the colony was going to be destroyed by the Crystaline entity, and he was never really alive on the colony, so that doesn’t quite work I don’t think lol

Everything mentioned here is great, but remember, he also has the memories of all the colonists from Soong’s planet, so, not only is he programmed for sex, he has first hand experience

It was discovered “aboard an old derelict freighter,” so probably pirates

You know who wasn’t?

SNW season 3 in general, hopefully, can be explained by a writers strike as well

This AI overview was brought to you by AGIMUS

I disagree with you, but for the same reasons? I felt like season 3, when they’re first getting into the future, exploring, and meeting the people there, was the most like Star Trek. I also think the Mycelial drive is a good fit for the future setting

That’s not exactly what happened. The Lower Decks episode just told us that there is another universe where the Klingons look like that. That doesn’t mean they never looked like that in our universe. One of the other things the Klingons turn into is an Ancient Klingon Sailing Barge. I took it to mean technology and culture had progressed differently in those universes.

Spock is always filtered. It is the Vulcan way. That’s as restrained as he could make that comment

She’s 6’, he’s 6’3", so she’s not as tall as him, but she’s close

Planet Weyoun

How many Kims do you think we can eject in a run?

Sokath, his eyes uncovered

This guy stinks, but I agree that Trek is better with more episodes per season. Bring in more guest writers, and do cheaper episodes. Try weird stuff! Some of the best episodes are just are just two guys, sometimes one’s an alien, talking in front of a camera

Yes.

It’s an AI food generator. All of its food is just a little bit bland, because it’s the average of everything. They aren’t storing entire patterns for a tomato for example, so they have to be recreated each time, and the replicator prints a homogenized food-shaped item, with all the same components, but none of the random environmental conditions and uncultivated genetic traits that lead to a flavorful fruit. Then that compounds further when you get into processed foods, or whole prepared meals. There’s artistry there, that a computer can’t match.

Maybe, to mitigate this, there are some recipes where they do save an exact pattern of real food a chef made, so the replicator can make a few things that are particularly good. The Lower Deckers do make a big deal of the mac and cheese with the breaded top.

You see it in the way they treat the holodeck too. When it’s new, they have some fun with the computer generated scenarios, but all the best programs are the ones that they get from outside the ship, or that are made by a member of the crew. And they’re a sought after commodity. Data is still trying to figure out art. The Doctor seems to have managed it, but the Federation is slow to acknowledge him. Maybe the answer is replacing replicated meals with food prepared by holographic chefs, using replicated ingredients with higher fidelity patterns, that you have room for, because you’re no longer storing complex dishes

Does transported beef taste like it’s been replicated?

It also follows that, under these constraints, the captain, likely the role on the ship with the least turn over, would have the most customized shit. When the ship is in drydock, some lower deckers get transferred to other stations, and new ones come aboard, but the captain is pretty much always just hanging out. Makes sense they’d use that time for hobbies, and that they’d want that stuff in their quarters, which are, for the captain moreso than any other crew member, their home

I think you mean Cordry rocks. Their non-centrosymmetry disrupts the charged leptons in the isolinear pathways of the main deflector.
