This started out as a Gilligan's Island appreciation Tumblr, but, let's be honest, now it's just whatever I like.  Musical theatre, 60s sitcoms, 80s Trek, Greek mythology, pop culture.

Star Trek TNG characters and whether they'd rat me out for farting on the bridge

(for the sake of argument let's assume it was a dank, zeppelin-sized fart I absolutely had to let out before it Hindenburg’d my intestinal tract, and not just me being rude for no reason)

Beverly: doesn't rat me out. Probably messages me privately later to politely suggest I stop by sick bay

Wesley: doesn't rat me out on purpose, but whispers to me way too loudly and still gets me caught

Geordi: rats me out accidentally after seeing an “unusual gaseous emission” on his VISOR and announcing it to the crew, but feels bad about it

Worf: rats me out without hesitation (and tells me my flatulence was “dishonourable”)

Pulaski: rats me out to everyone and offers to prescribe me an anti-gas med

Riker: rats me out to the captain but only if it's funny

Deanna: doesn't rat me out but subtly indicates to me she knows I did it, and 100% gossips with Will about it later

Data: doesn't rat me out but if someone else does he gives everyone an impromptu treatise on flatulence. Tries to teach himself how to fart later that week

Picard: does not rat me out but calls me into his ready room to give me a stern speech about “Starfleet decorum”

Ro: doesn't rat me out but tracks me down in Ten Forward after to ask if that was me

Barclay: too awkward to rat me out and accidentally creates a distraction for me by going into a coughing fit when he smells it

Yar: if Picard asks about it she'll rat me out; otherwise she won't, but she does turn to me and say “Seriously?”

Lwaxana: loudly announces to everyone within earshot that I farted and I was hoping no one would notice, but it's okay because it wasn't my fault for PASSING GAS IN FRONT OF A DAUGHTER OF THE FIFTH HOUSE OF BETAZED, THE HOLDER OF THE SACRED CHALICE OF RIXX AND HEIR TO THE

Q: says “ooh, how gauche!” and then either makes it so the entire ship can smell my fart OR makes my farts smell like wedding cake, depending on his mood

Edit: NOW AVAILABLE IN DS9 VERSION and TOS/AOS VERSION (and LD EDITION!)

Hold up. Here I thought that when Picard said the delivery was “touch and go,” that meant Deanna’s life was in danger. I was ready for Riker to say something heartfelt and beautiful about how much he loves his wife, after saying the 17 seconds it took for him to get to sickbay was “the longest turbolift of his life,” …but then he wasn’t talking about Deanna? He was talking about the baby? Which is valid, I get that, and I know I don’t have children, so maybe this is showing intense ignorance on my part… but god. Why wasn’t he also worried about Deanna? Only caring about the baby’s health when his wife is the one experiencing a difficult birth is not something I would’ve expected from Riker…?

And then for the scene to end with Deanna all frazzled and alone watching the baby, understandably upset that Riker is off having whiskey and cigars with Picard while she’s taking care of a sick newborn by herself… ugh! I hate it. Throw it away. Get rid of it. All of it.

The disrespect to her character is just outrageous. Reducing Deanna to the nagging, overworked, and under-appreciated wife trope is absurd to me. Put some respect on Deanna Troi’s name or I don’t want her in Picard at all.
