Rules:

  1. No talking about about being banned from other subs. Also do not link to subs not listed in the side bar

-Seriously, this is a fun place for shitposting. We don't need unwanted drama that will just cause issues.

  • Keep posts on-topic

  • -This is a Star Trek sub first and foremost. Kindly keep it that way. Off-topic posts will be removed. Repeated offenses will result in a temporary ban. -- 2A) While Trek has always been a medium for social commentary, the mod team feels that the referencing the current political landscape is beyond the scope of our subreddit. We realize that the parallels between current issues and a multitude of episodes exist but we've also seen the same topics across Reddit. It's not new, you're just phasering the dead targ at this point.

  • Serious posts must be flaired

  • -If a post is a genuine opinion or a serious critique of a piece of Star Trek media, kindly flair it as such.

  • Leave any bigotry in your quarters, Mister Stiles. There’s no room for it on the bridge.

  • -No racism/sexism/homophobia or any other form of bigotry. We’re all Star Trek fans. Let’s not alienate each other. (See what I did there?)

  • Follow Reddit TOS

  • -I don’t think this needs to be said, but you need to follow Reddit TOS while you’re here.

  • Regarding image posts: No low effort memes/reposts/ai

  • -For now, image posts are in a trial period. Reposts are not allowed. Top-level image posts must either be backed by or support a meaningful text post. Standalone images and memes will most certainly be removed.

    --Part A: Submissions not in compliance with this rule may be posted in r/decon_chamber a part of our little universe that is dedicated to the shittier content.

  • This is not an NSFW Sub and never will be

  • -I cannot belive this needs to be said, but no posting NSFW or R34 items, we do not need the ship breaking down with a mass failure.

    Serious: why tf do starships not have stairs between decks for emergencies?

    Someone should petition the federation (paramount) to replace 0.0001% of the Jeffries tube and ladder mazes with stairs!

    Data and static electricity

    Say, since data has a positron if brain does that mean if you rub your feet and the floor and give his head a static electric shock the electrons and positrons will annihilate in a massive explosion?

    Why didn't the Federation buy some Freedom Arsenals to fight the Borg?

    They basically found a vending machine trying to sell weapons. The freeware version practically defeated the Enterprise. If they paid for the deluxe model, I'm sure they could have blown up a Borg ship without too much trouble.

    It's one thing to be too proud to ask for help.... but buying help is a different story, right?

    Why can't captain be the first one off the ship?

    You know how in trek it seems like they follow the old rule of captain being the last person off the ship in a disaster situation. Why can't the captain be the first one off the ship like in tng time squared?

    Captain : computer emergency protocol captain pi epsilon.

    Transporters beam captain to emergency escape pod which jettison.

    Is WoK-The One With The Whales a Borg storyor a WWtW story?

    To clarify typing; Borg eps are when antagonist or bad guy is overwhelmingly powerful to the aggrieved party. Tasha Yar dies in a Borg episode.

    Who Watches the Watchers eps are when the hero has a power the others do not and must make a moral judgement of somekind. As the Feds are the antagonist to the aggrieved party in WWtW, it ironically is a Borg ep, in which the Feds are the Borg. This type is classically something like Penpals, or Descent part 2. Or when Riker got Q powers...thats a WWtW

    So WoK has genetic supermen engaged in battle with Kirk, so Borg?

    But also Kahn is centuries out of date fighting people with advanved technology he cannot fathom? So WWtW?

    But also we have the Genesis device as the actual official crisis generator; resulting in overwhelming antagonist Klingons rabble rousing the international community? So Borg?

    But since we have the device and must make a moral judgement on its use, even if the movie does little to delve into this quandry....WWtW?

    And then regardless the third film is just getting McCoy from point A to B, i guess Borg since Starfleet attempts to serve a transwarp arrest warrant? And thats i guess an overwhelming foe with better tech?

    Or is it WWtW because Kirk and Co must morally choose his journey to Vulcan over their orders to not do it?

    And i guess the Whales are also a Borg ep, obvi, dont even gotta elaborate; but also a WWtW because we gotta be kind and rewind the extinction of whales? Who are simultaneously at our mercy and able to boil our oceans?

    And since all 3 of these films are a contiguous story...and usually act 1 is Borg, act 2 is a blend, and act 3 is our hero doing the right thing in a WWtW ending....how do we apply this grading process to each movie and also the string of them together....

    Is this story on the whole one or the other?

    Or is this the mythical third style of episode; 'just some shit that happens'?

    Vic(toria) Fontaine should have been a black woman played by Nichelle Nichols.

    Before TOS, she was a legit big band singer with Duke Ellington, and recorded multiple albums.

    Could have based her more on Ella Fitzgerald than Frank Sinatra, and would have been a fun way to incorporate her back into the show.

    How old is Gul Ducat???

    Kira’s a major… but it’s revealed that Ducat and Kira’s mother were an item when she was 3 years old.

    How the fuck did that dirty old man survive for so long?

    The Skrreea were farmers

    There's nothing else.

    That was their entire selling point. Maybe they should have asked Quark for some marketing tips.. Maybe they might have sold Bajor on letting them settle.

    If Star Trek Characters Were In Mortal Kombat

    Who's your main and what's their finishing move?

    I'd want to be Data so I can shove Spot down Johnny Cage's throat and watch him claw his way out of the stomach like in that one Stephen King movie.

    why don't ships run at red alert at all time

    we saw how easy it is to destroy a ship one hit to the warp nacelle or engineering section and the ship blows up. or one hit to the bridge the ship is essentially crippled. it takes ages to raise shields or for the crew to actually respond when the enemy has target lock. so why not run at red alert at all time with shields up at all times?

    Do they give away bits of the Enterprise D (and other destroyed craft) as trinkets? Like the Berlin Wall.

    Is there a Shisha bar on the Enterprise-D ? At which deck is it ?

    Additionally, is there a Bavarian-style beer-garden or at least an Irish pub?

    10 Forward

    I think we can all agree after watching Picard Season 2 that Guinan convinced Starfleet to put the bar on a Galaxy Class starship on deck 10 in the forward section because she can only remember one address at a time.

    What would have been on Deck 10 if Guinan hadn’t interfered? Cetacean ops? Bathrooms?

    The use of Holodecks in Star Trek is actually spot on. Realistically speaking, after using the Holodeck to vent out their weird kinks and dream bangs, the next logical course of action the Holodecks would be used for is to be the main character of your favorite books or movies.

    Really,

    After saving the Exocomps, Data set himself on his true goal - replacing his penis with the Exocomp tool replicator.

    Data really didn’t care that the Exocomps were sentient. His true goal was gaining a replicator that could make his penis any size or shape he wanted.

    In that moment Data became as human as the rest of us.

    Holodeck safety protocols

    If safety protocols turned off make the bullets lethal then with off and using a "pleasure" program could you get a "computer virus/digital S T.I.?". Or given that their is "safer holo sex" could a holo pregnancy exist?

    When Data said he was "fully functional", that was in reference to McDonald's Ice Cream Machines

    The dispensing mechanism Soong used could be traced back to soft serve machines from several hundred years before he was designed.

    Soong's improvements to it was that it no longer broke or required maintenance so often and was always "fully functional."

    Seriously, why does everyone keep telling Damar to leg it? I don't think the universal translator can understand that phrase. Why not just tell the man to run?

    Data says he is “fully functional”. Does that mean he could father android/human children like on Battlestar Galactica?

    Ba'ul Facts (STD)

    • Bau'ls are inherently full of shit.
      • Even if emptied, as they should be on a regular basis, they are never entirely devoid of shit and will soon be full of shit again.
    • Ba'uls are notorious for their bile and their gall.
    • Ba'uls are a natural source of a pungent, flammable gas with a high methane content.
    • Ba'uls can be irritable, in which case they are likely to spew shit in a frequent and near-uncontrollable fashion.
      • Irritable Ba'uls are sometimes colloquially referred to as "a pain in the ass".
    • When Ba'uls migrate, this is referred to as a Ba'ul Movement.
    • To eliminate Ba'uls from a location is termed "disem-Ba'ul-ment".
    • Ba'uls can be said to be located "in the ass end" of space and yet are ironically easily accessible via a passage through Uranus.
    • An alternate name for the Ba'ul is "Ko'luhn".

    Where would I commission such a work of art?

    As i observed my children gratefully toiling away at the yard as I sipped my rightfully earned lemonade, I observed something miraculous! A spot. Perfect for a 10x statue of a glorious figure, and who better to grace my yard then Gul Dukat?

    Gazing triumphantly onto the future, a symbol of my virility. I am sure he would weep with pride at my vision of a 200 meter tall statue, with on the base engraved "Attention Children Workers, your weeding quota has been increased. Also, clean all the bird droppings off me immediately." Of course no bird would dare on such artistry, but the children must check of course.

    Imagine my horror though whe. I realized there was not a single statue on amazon. Not even a commemorate Gul Dukat icon! Indeed when I browsed the whole of the internet, I found but statues from some minor hew-mon religion for sale popped up instead of such necessities.

    I have heard the Bajorans have started art once more, perhaps I might contact one of them? They might model it after one of the many that surely grace their backwater planet. While I am certain they must have a great many, the reason they are not selling, nay, gifting them as proselytizers to his might must because they find them far too precious to part with.

    I beseech thee, if any would know of an artist skilled enough to capture the majesty of the mightiest of all Guls, let me know.
