TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

Apparently the knowledge of fuses was lost during the Eugenics Wars.

I came here to say this. I get that they use fucking plasma in their electrical systems, but you'd think some step-down transformers and circuit breakers could be installed. And why the hell do the defense systems feed back into the main power grid? Why isn't there a capacitor bank to dump feedback into for reuse in the weapons or something?

Pretty sure that's the lens flares.

I always thought of him as a bored god annoying one specific creation. Like the book of job but sci-fi!

Ah, so “realistic” space travel, where 100 years later, they’re still on their way to the first Star system and the most critical technology is how to pass the time

I needed more existential dread so thanks for this. <3

Inhales

Ok....wait, hear me out

Exhales

what if that's how Discovery ends?

We're still not sure if all of DS9 is in the shattered mind of an insane 1940's writer or not.

"My child" came out of Rick Bermans mind before it came out Kai Winns mouth.

Far from his only sin in trek, and not his worst, but it is enough. The source of evil is clear.

That's the barrel that paralyzed Worf

Also confused. Star Trek branded 55gal drum of lube?

Edit: for posterity, the blue barrel reminded me of an older meme around an Amazon listing for a 55gal drum of lube that was also just a generic blue barrel

Q is chaotic neutral.

What if God was one of us?

Once again, poor Jeremy Aster was forgotten about. lol Alexander isn't the only kid Worf abandoned.

He's one of the best villains in all of media.

I wouldn't call them a villain, personally. They were a species trying to slap the Borg back home and became aware of our space. They saw us working with the Borg and started to prep for an invasion of Earth. But after diplomatic relations with Starfleet they realize that Earth may pose some threat but had ZERO interest in starting a war with any species, much less a species they'd never even heard of before.

I've got a video but not sure about a text place.

The basics are hatred of women and having their characters raped, a misunderstanding of Trek leading to some awful storylines and characters (and Enterprise, as it was almost entirely his baby), he had zero TV experience save for a kids show, he was impossible to work with, he shot down stories for little to no reason, he was a bigoted piece of shit, he micro managed everything to fuck, he HATED gay representation and repeatedly shut it down, the show runner of DS9 had to actively lie to him to get the show made, he was an awful writer but insisted on writing anyway, he was toxic management type to the point of forcing names off of scripts and putting his own name on, pushed people to their breaking points, interfered repeatedly with everything in front of him to the point you can SEE the interference in certain episodes and was a particular cunt with contract negotiations.

That's not remotely all of it.

The correct answer to the post is that he is the villain.

If Gene is the great bird of the galaxy then Rick Berman is the Great Botfly.
