STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - S2E2 Where Silence Has Lease

[loriensprout]

One of the cutest and most underrated aspects of TNG is the fact that in any given scene Data is copying his friends’ posture and mannerisms

reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material

[loriensprout]

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer

I always wondered why Romulan Ale was illegal too! Is it:

• A trade embargo situation? Dear Federation citizens, please do not fund our expansionist, imperialist neighbour with superior military technology ⚠️ thanks 🫶

• Other than being strong liquor, could Romulan ale contain intoxicants other than alcohol - like the way traditional absinthe is also pyschadelic?

• Because it's produced with slave labor? The Romulan Star Empire was always implied to dominate a vast territory of non-Romulan peoples, a la the actual Roman Empire, and they explicitly enslave Remans in Nemisis... You can't have an overall-pretty-moral culture & economy while indulging in the products of slavery, so I assume they must be blanket outlawed in the Federation?

top 5 star trek foods/drinks?

Thank you – this is a fun question!

Raktajino: I think it’s so fun that half of DS9 is apparently addicted to it, and it’s really interesting that everyone calls it “Klingon coffee”. How similar is it to coffee to have gotten that consistent of a title? It’s also pretty funny that, to my memory, we rarely see actual Klingons drinking it.

Leola Root: I love how everyone hates the taste but Neelix is apparently always still serving it on Voyager. Are there truly no better sources of vitamins and minerals in the quadrant?

Hasperat: I like the apparent competitiveness between different people over whose version is spiciest. I imagine this is a common point of friendly competition between different regions of Bajor or different families – all saying their version of Hasperat is the spiciest ever.

Romulan Ale: I’m really interested in the fact that it’s illegal in the Federation, and yet everyone is drinking it all the time. There are fascinating questions about why exactly it’s illegal – it’s implied to be primarily for political reasons, but what are those reasons exactly, and what is the underground Romulan Ale trade like?

Jumja sticks: I know I have two Bajoran foods on this list, but Bajoran cuisine is probably the best developed of any species’ in Star Trek after Klingon cuisine, which makes sense given that DS9 is set on a Bajoran station that has a lot of food stands. I mostly put these on the list because there are several fun scenes related to them throughout DS9, see Nog enjoying a Jumja stick above, and I like that they’re really distinctive compared to a lot of Star Trek foods.

So obviously Garak and Bashir have always wanted to fuck each other. That's like barely subtextual. That lizard is down atrocious and Bashir spends his nights confused as to why he keeps getting hard to the colour grey.

I feel like the crux of them in a romantic relationship, at least to me, is relief. It's about the relief of putting down the mask as much as you can and trusting that the other man won't judge you. Trusting that the other will love you in all your monstrosity and unacceptability. It's about learning to let yourself be a person and learning to love yourself through loving your twisted reflection.

The central conflict, their opposing loyalties and Bashir's seeming dependency on the Federation to ensure his own morality. Hence him spending all his time post Canon trying to "fix" starfleet. Bashir is a man taught that everything he is is wrong and leans on starfleet ideals to prove to himself that he isn't another Khan. He needs that proof

"Where is the light coming from?" "Same place as the music."

directors using colorful or "impossible" lighting to convey mood and meaning and beauty my beloved. directors making night scenes impossible to see for the sake of realism my beloathed.

My kitten tried to kill my stuffed tribble. My roommate remarked that my tribble killing cat would make a great Klingon pet… and she’s right.

Imagine a Klingon ship having a cat that protects them from tribbles & vermin. They have to get the cat from a shelter run by humans and they’re like “This is the honorable Mr. Chonks”.

“Yes, our ship also has an earth feline. Her name is Carrot and she fights like a warrior.”

There’s absolutely a Klingon out there who lost an eye to a feral cat that he then adopted.

Klingons who go “pspspspsps” to get the Ship Cat to come hang out during break.

Orange Ship Cat that gets lost in the jeffires tubes and Klingon whose sole job is to go fetch the orange cat. He acts like he hates his job but he actually really adores his feline co-worker so much.

Klingon that always hands things to the Ship Cat so it can sniff it.

Klingon that intentionally grabs boxes to enrich Ship Cat’s little life. Sometimes they get multiple boxes and the crew bets on which box will be deemed “best box” by their fluffy little warrior.

Klingon that starts his work shift saying “Qapla'!” to Ship Cat who meows in return.

Newly Minted Ship Kitten climbing up to a Klingon Captain’s shoulder with her tiny needle claws while said Captain is attempting to be intimidating on the viewscreen.

Klingon who gets a head bunt from Ship Cat and gives it a head bunt back.

Oof right in the coping strategies

over-psychoanalyzing blorbos is healthy and needed enrichment for the girlies in order to avoid over-psychoanalyzing themselves. like giving a dog a chew toy in order to redirect chewing on its hind legs

We need a 2020s remake starring Naveen Andrews in a wolfcut, eyeliner, and some type of artfully torn desi fusion techwear

Biggest downgrade in cinematic history. Every other aspect of the j'jambramsverse could be perfect and I'd still hate him for this alone. Turning the sexiest evil big tiddy space eugenicist into some uwu softboi in a windbreaker. Banging my head against the wall. He doesn't have any swag. Where's the cunt???????????
