every drug dealer I've met has had 1% of the motivation to get you hooked on drugs that autistic women in their 30s have to get you hooked on star trek

“I asked ChatGPT-” Yeah well I asked Lieutenant Commander Data Soong from engineering and he told me that while he could, in fact, do my physics homework, he fears that it may have a negative impact on my academic performance and that he would not proceed with this arrangement.

Here's your periodic reminder that the reason Kirk (tos-flavor) got a commendation for his solution to the Kobayashi Maru is because his "cheating" was his answer. Kirk's answer to the question of, "What do you do in a no-win scenario?" is "I break the rules until it isn't a no-win scenario. I don't give up on my crew, and I do whatever I can to save as many lives as possible."

And here's your periodic reminder—or first-time FYI, depending—that according to certain apocrypha, Nog similarly "beat" the Kobayashi Maru by relentlessly demanding to barter with the enemy until the simulation crashed. Like a true Ferengi, his answer to "What would you do in a no-win scenario?" is "Renegotiate the terms of the scenario. Rule of Acquisition #98: Everyone has their price."

voyager c-plot where harry starts dating a feisty young redheaded science ensign and everyone else is like hey wait a minute…

[clementine-kesh]

tom and b’elanna are horrified right off the bat of course. seven’s like “well you guys are always horrified about whoever harry’s dating so i don’t see what the big deal is” and they’re like “no this time it’s different we swear. haven’t you noticed the resemblance between harry’s new girl and a certain captain” to which seven’s like “the captain is gorgeous and intelligent and kind and noble therefore it’s only logical to date someone like her” and tom and b’elanna are like “dude she’s basically his mom” and seven’s like “i still fail to see the problem” which makes them want to die even more. chakotay Notices immediately but his only response is to be like “wow harry, you have great taste, she’s a keeper :)” with a sly and slightly evil little smile

the more i watch star trek tos, the more it becomes abundantly clear that the reason why modern trek doesnt get kirk at all is because they dont utilise mccoy nearly as much anymore

in modern trek, they always present the idea of logic vs emotion, with spock being logic and kirk being emotion, but thats not how tos has it. in tos, the logic vs emption debate is spock vs mccoy. kirk is supposed to be the mediator between the two, sometimes siding with one side over the other, sometimes finding a middle ground between the two. thats why hes the captain, hes able to see all angles and pick the best course

when you make kirk the emotional one, it completely breaks the format, because 9 time out of 10, it means kirk has to be correct. theres no more balance

mccoy is just as important to tos as spock is, and while i do understand why spock is as popular as he is, without mccoy, the show doesnt work. you need them both. kirk spock and mccoy are the three leads of the show, and removing one requires you to change the others, which is whats happened to kirk
