New Star Trek headcanon just dropped: Geordi and data regularly hang out in the dark and Geordi sometimes forgets that people need light to see
This is so incredibly important how dare you hide this in the tags /lh
Pov you walk into a pitch black room and you see two creepy glowing android eyes, two flashing red lights, and the fucked up thing cats’ eyes do in the dark
Further hc that Data can’t actually see in the dark either.
He’s just never thought to mention this because he has a photographic memory and direct neural access to all of the Enterprise’s schematics, and therefore doesn’t actually need sight to know where everything is.
I like to think of later Starfleet engineers like B'Elanna and O'Brien losing their collective shit over that story they heard at the Academy about that one time they experimented with this magical propulsion system that could literally transport you anywhere and there was exactly one guy on one ship who somehow made it work and it fucking vanished on the way back to Earth leaving no trace it ever existed
↳While in the past Jadzia is drawn in to the break room by singing and meets Uhura, she can’t help but flirt a little and Uhura isn’t adverse to flirting back.
i think star trek should write an in universe reason why some series don’t have swearing and some do. make it a universal translator glitch or something.
the captain of each ship can turn the swears on or off when they want to
Kirk would have kept the swears on but any ship carrying Dr. Leonard McCoy is required by Starfleet regulations to turn them off
The two ways Nog beat the Kobayashi Maru are amazing.
“In “The Bottom Line” by Andrew Morby (SNW III) and Shawn Michael Scott’s “Best Tools Available” (SNW VI), Cadet Nog solves it in two entirely different (and thoroughly Ferengi) ways. In one case, he lures the enemy onto his ship, which he has set to self destruct but with the announcement volume so low only he can hear it. In the other, when the simulated Romulan commander tries to demand his surrender, Nog replies “Name Your Price”, and proceeds to haggle until the simulation crashes, as the programmers had never considered this possibility.“ (text copy/pasted from Memory-Alpha).
Some day I want to see a Captain Kirk parody that leans hard into his original flavour “hapless romance novel protagonist who keeps ending up in sexually compromising situations with hot aliens more or less by accident” characterisation rather than the “grotesque womaniser” shtick of later interpretations and has him just constantly tormented by the fact that every single alien he meets wants to rail him.
… is tos a harem anime..?
You know, a harem anime spin on the Original Series would be kind of fascinating to watch, because the core cast of the Original Series arguably includes all three major harem anime protagonist archetypes if you squint just right: Scotty is the charmingly chaotic rascal with a woman in every port, Bones is the sleazy horndog who’d probably have a fascinating collection of extraterrestrial STDs were it not for 23rd Century medicine, and Kirk is the straight-laced Boy Scout who repeatedly captures the sexual interest of hot aliens through no fault of his own. There are even a couple of episodes where that interplay is relevant to the plot!
Do gay Klingons ever get frustrated/dejected because their gentleman caller hasn’t so much as kicked a pebble their way or uttered the slightest growl?
Do questioning Klingons ever show their crush their poetry, only to have their crush assume that he’s helping them proofread or something?
Is there ever an issue where a lesbian Klingon tries very awkwardly to recite poetry to her lady love?
Or instances where two lesbians are basically beating the shit out of each other and both thinking “I know she thinks this is just a regular old gal fight, but no, seriously, I’m trying to declare my intentions here”?
Are there euphemisms for LGBT Klingons? “Don’t try to win her over, Riker. She reads poetry.”
Don't give up. Unless you have to for a little while. Then don't panic. CONTAINS: Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, Critical Role, History, Current Affairs, Space, Cats, and Etc. Adult.
