As we enter decades after the original content was created, I can't help but wonder how terrible it would be if the next Star Trek show just went for it and modernized the heck out of all the Sci-Fi fantasy.

How would social media exist in the galaxy? Orion Slave Girl has unfollowed you on AlphaQuantrantGram. I guess she saw the pictures of you with that new guest star love interest of the week.

Would Starships and Space Stations have Ring and Blink cameras covering every inch of the interior and how difficult would that make writing murder/sabotage plots?

​

Borg: Let's expend weapon and tractor beam resources and risk damage to our ship in a firefight because we want to assimilate a ship with a few people on board.

Also Borg: A few people aren't worth the effort to assimilate if they're walking around our enclave on foot, surrounded by us.

Been having a lot of deja vu lately and now at work chef just gave us counts for 3 items - 3 of each left. I feel like someone is trying to tell me something.

Despite it being a sort of meme that made its way into Picard, the notion of the carpet in the bridge of the Enterprise D isn't that ridiculous considering acoustics, right? In the command room, you need everything heard crisply, but you also don't want to be distracted by hearing your co-worker at the station across the room having another conversation or listening to something at his console. So the carpet and padded walls are part of the design scheme to dampen the sound.

Also, considering safety when the ship gets tossed around, not seeing things reflect off the ground as you're console gazing or trying to figure out where that Borg phaser beam is coming from.

Kind of makes more sense to have a carpet than not, no?

And yet we love these characters.

Worf? Yeah he dicked with the artificial weather on a hooker planet because it was against his beliefs, after agreeing to visit with full knowledge of where he was going. Sisko? Ordered the firing of a bomb that rendered an entire planet temporarily uninhabitable by humans for decades. Dax? Slaughtered hundreds of what the Klingon call a certain... I-don't-know-what. Damar? Perpetrated the genocide of Bajor. Chief Miles "Ya Boi" O'Brien? Said a naughty word at the dinner table once.

Kira? No need for introductions, by far the coolest and most popular terrorist amongst the fandom.

"A Warriors Musk"

Hence why Worf can be both chief of security/head of ops, why Geordi can do R&D while also being chief engineer, why they can all command the station and the Defiant and lead large-scale military operations at the same time... etc.

Why did he have a Vulcan lute lying around? Does he have a musical instrument from everyone's home just in case they need it? Is he even a real doctor? Can I get a second opinion?

I can't unsee it

"The Klingons have a saying: 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.' It is very cold... in space..."

(pushes up glasses) "Actually, sir, that's not true. It doesn't really make sense to say that space is either 'hot' or 'cold'. There isn't enough particle density to provide a meaningful temperature reading. In fact, by some measures you could even say that space is very hot!"

"Joaquim, please show Barney to the airlock."

"Sorry! Sorry, sir. Back to work on the ol' photon emitters! Glory to the Superior Intellect!"

All the ops staff is crawling around on their hands and knees on top of metal grating. They must have the most calloused knees this side of a Vulcan love slave.

With grav plating they could just slide down the maintenance tubes without any problem quickly and efficiently.

• Kirk: Likes the ladies

• Picard: Hates PITA kids

• Sisko: Likes to cook

• Janeway: Likes coffee

• Archer: Likes dogs

• Burnham: Likes feelings

• Pike: Likes to cook

• Freeman: Hates her PITA kid

• Dal: Is a PITA kid

Like when they board the ship and the crew is trying to fight them off. OH NO, they adapted to our phaser frequencies. Why don't they go the Klingon route and use melee weapons? Seems far more effective. Or use kinetic weapons like Picard did in the holodeck in First Contact. Or on Starships, equip them with some 24th century kinetic weapons. Surely they would be capable of firing a few hundred kilogram projectile at near light speeds. That would bore a hole through a cube so large they could fly through it. If it didn't blow the whole cube apart.

So, like the title says, generally it's claimed that the M/AM warp core is power just for the warp coils to generate the warp field. It's been stated in canon that impulse engines are powered by fusion reactors, and that other systems are also powered by these systems. Given the ship has bussard collectors, I can totally see them having several fusion generators that the cosmic hydrogen gasses get directed to to use some form of futuristic Fusion.

That all collapses though when it comes to replicators and transporters. The energy requirements to replicate something is so high, I can't see a fusion reactor or multiple reactors providing enough juice.

My new headcanon is only the impulse engines run off fusion reactors, this is so the ship can still ferry itself around when the warp engine is off with life support and other functions running off the massive battery power the ship has. When the Warp Core is working, that's what powers the ship and recharges the batteries.

I bet it went as well as you'd expect.

Granted, size and air requirements would be an issue.

Just as a reminder, the Enterprise is stuck in a trap that disabled their warp & impulse drives, radiation is slowly working away at the shields and will kill the crew once they're disabled as well.

and the chief Engineer disappeared to the holodeck. what's everybody doing in engineering?? do they have any idea where Geordi is? from an ensign's pov, the chief engineer ditched and no one has a plan.

Sonic super stars is 35 dollars for 3 days from now, and sonic mania is 20 dollars rn. Which one should I get?

What ever happened to Deanna Troi's little brother.
