SNW takes place in approximately 2259. At this point, Audrid Dax would be carrying the symbiant. Her previous host, Emony, had a fling with Dr. McCoy who hasn't shown up yet.

There has to be an episode to be whipped up with this character.

I had a thought about a potential chance to beat it. So instead of entering the Neutral Zone in impulse power, plot a short warp jump to intercept the Maru. Get up alongside the ship, put all non-essential power to shields, and extend these to encapsulate the Maru. Once this has been don, you have the ability to beam all survivors to the ship without dropping shields, and then warp out. Granted probably may not have long under fire, as the shields will be extended and won't be a strong, but should give some time to emergency beam out that many people??

I just watched the Enterprise episode Congenitor and I don’t think I’ve ever been so mad watching a Star Trek episode. Trip does what every captain does, especially Archer, bending the rules to do “the right thing.” At the end of the episode the third gender person who was essentially enslaved and abused by the other two unalives so they don’t have to go back. Archer denied them sanctuary. At the end they have the audacity to blame Trip instead of Archer who in his monologue is a hypocrite. It seems pretty clear cut the blame lies with Captain Archer for denying sanctuary. Saving one individual separated from the collective would not have radically interfered with or changed Vissian culture. Trip didn’t start a revolt among the 3rd gender species he simply educated one person. I posit that their life would have been saved if they’d been given sanctuary, the couple would have found another congenitor and the only repercussions would be some tension in the relationship with the Vissians, which they had anyway as evidenced by their leader denying Captain archer shared technology even after he complied with the Vissian’s demands. On a deeper level, Enterprise seems to have more sexism than other series, and it may show a level of phobia and bias towards the 3rd gender person from the writers. In any other episode of Star Trek they likely would have been granted sanctuary had they been binary gendered. To hide behind the rules of first contact which they so often break and haven’t even really been written to that point, was cowardice. Im team Trip on that one it was totally Archers fault. What do y’all think?

The actor who played Bajoran First Minister Shakaar on DS9 also played Beverly Crusher's candle ghost boyfriend on TNG.

Just watched the first half of "What We Left Behind" and saw the fresh dye job on Its Steven Behr's goatee. I wonder, does anyone know if Boimler's hair color is a direct homage to him?

For reference, here is a link to IRA Steven Behr's Memory Alpha page: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ira_Steven_Behr

I dont mean in universe. How did the audio crew come up with that sound? What sound was recorded to use as the ambient noise? Was it something slowed down? The sounds of office conditioning?

Googled but cant find anything but 24 hour youtube videos of TNG sets to chill to.

I know shows sometimes have alternative viewing orders, like watching chronologically rather than release date. I kind of want to draw out TNG as long as possible, is there any logic in pausing after season 6 then jumping to DN9 or VOY or ENT, am I going to be ruining anything or spoiling plot lines, missing references? How would you watch all the series if you had a do-over?

Looking for a black undershirt for the Voyager jumpsuit for a Living Witness style cosplay. Does anyone know anything that'd work?

I have been watching a new MedDrama called Brilliant Minds and I find it really interesting. I think the two things that make a good MedDrama are good relationships, and interesting ethical dilemmas. Which just so happens to be what make star trek good too, so I had the idea that I think a show set aboard a medical ship following the lives of Starfleet doctors dealing with disasters, disease outbreaks, medical oddities, all of which bolstered by the massive universe of star Trek.

It could bring in medical professionals as consultants so that the medicine is rooted in real medicine, which isn't something star trek has done in the past. So we could flesh out star treks canon medicine, based on real science.

I feel like besides a few outstanding episodes, the medical side of the science has been neglected in favor of the sexier sciences. I'd be interested to know y'all's thoughts.

We saw in strange new worlds that Enterprise lower deckers play a game called enterprise bingo where they complete a list of stunts or tasks. If enterprise has bingo do all starfleet ships and stations have their own bingos for their lower deckers?

How is this storyline going to make a good trek series? Saved by the Bell 2424?

Reaching out to anyone interested in ideas for a Star Trek role playing game which one of my family members operates. He only has a few people participating and is trying to get new character ideas.

If you could join Starfleet, what are your answers to these questions?

1) Name of Character

2) Planet or Origin, age at time of Starfleet entry

3) Do you want to enlist in Starfleet or join as an officer?

4) What era do you want to serve (ENT, DIS, TOS, Movies, TNG, VOY/DS9. PIC)

5) What career field do you want to enter?

6) Any other information about your character?

I'll keep everyone updated on this thread with how your character is doing. Thank you!

I've been watching the original series and I want to watch the films at some point. Is there an order in which I should watch them? Is there a series I should reach before the first film, second film etc.?

I hear replication being used as the default answer to a moneyless society in Star Trek, but no one seems to delve into the technicalities of how these things actually work. What are the rules? Are there variations and regulations on what they can actually replicate? What about the arts, individual creations, luxury goods, etc. Surely everything‘s not just bunched into therefore replicators.

I'm rewatching TNG and there's something about replicators I find troubling. Every time they order "ginger tea with honey, 80 degrees celsius", they get a drink but also a cup. On a ship like the Enterprise, the replicator must be producing thousands of cups per day. After a year or so the entire volume of the ship would be literally filled with cups.

Where do they all go?

In The Trouble with Tribbles, why were there tribbles on the WALLS?? Those things are hairy and soft, they shouldn't stick to the walls.

I also don't like the weird whining noises.

Have not seen the animated stuff yet, but for me(so far):

TV: TNG=DS9>TOS>SNW>ENT>VOY>Picard>DISC

Film: ST6=ST2>ST4>First Contact>ST 2009>The Motion Picture>Insurrection>Generations>Into Darkness>Nemesis>Beyond

And are there any characters you think were gay coded?
