MY captain

Cardassians have three eyes (technically)

Most reptiles have a third eye, known as the parietal eye, it helps with telling the time and how to thermoregulate based off light.

it's barely noticeable

but look, here's a perfect spot for a parietal eye on cardassians

furthermore the eyes need to be able to connect to the brain, thus a hole in the forehead

in Picard with the trophy room scene, there's the skull of gul dukat (bonus close up of the prop skull as well next to it)

see the hole, and it's right where cardassian crests (or whatever they're called) are

all photo creds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I watch star trek with my mom right and she speaks french and every time there's a Vash episode we laugh about the fact that, to Picard, his on-and-off girlfriend is literally (phonetically) called "Cow"

[beerpilled]

just a simple silly jucika strip redraw with them….. original under the cut

[respocked]

kinda crazy how they never made picard actually gay though. all he does is hallucinate or falsely experience the traditional family unit, then he wakes up and continues to not seek said arrangement out of some half-realized fear or apprehension. i know he has sex with women but that is genuinely the gayest thing i have ever seen

[respocked]

this man is so. in the star trek nemesis novelization he leaves will riker's bachelor party early bc he knows people wont have fun if he's there...... he's just like. i am a horrible looming presence over everybody and i cannot intrude on others and i need to self isolate. there must be an invisible barrier between me and everyone else even the people i consider my friends. because i am a captain. not Any Other Reason

[respocked]

the way he is explicitly sad in that novelization that will and deanna are LEAVING him by getting married and changing postings and expressing to data that it's about them participating in a rite of passage he never got and is now melancholic about. and everyone on the ship knows he is harboring feelings for beverly BUT pursuing beverly does not appear as a viable option??? and beverly's beauty does not feature in these musings???? and she used to have a husband who was also your close male friend?? and even after his death you thought of your relationship in the lines of what would he okay or not okay to do to him?? captain picard you are clearly some sort of a lesbian. or asexual i haven't decided yet eitger way you are a sensitive and beautiful faggot (just like me)

[autistic-bashir]

so weird to me that tng writers and actors keep going “yeah q was in love with picard but not in a romantic or sexual way” brother he wanted that bussy so bad he spent his two seconds of continuum pto cycling a bald man through maslows hierarchy of needs like five times

[bumblingbabooshka]

Congrats to Tuvok's gay son and implied trans daughter since he has two now and congrats to MEEEE because I got to see and Tuvok/T'Pel kiss !!!!!!!

Regardless of the whole "does being desintegrated and reintegrated in other place kills you" thing, I would never set foot on a transporter in Star Trek because just hearing that dust or radiation or whatever particle interferes with transportation is enough. What if I get a clone, or get fused with a clown, or get sent to 2024 for some reason? No thank you.

[elbiotipo]

Logistically, depending on transporters (which means having working power, computers, and a perfectly clear exit path) is worse than shuttles. I understand of course the budget restrictions (it was cheaper to do a special effect than to make a shuttle prop) but I honestly wouldn't trust a transporter with my life.

[elbiotipo]

I have to say that in the meta view, the concept of transporters not only was budget-saving but it also led to many good plots and discussions, but it still remains a technology I wouldn't trust if I was living on that universe. Printers for sentient beings...

[shiroikabocha]

my meta-view of transporters is that they’re an unintentional metaphor for cars: absurdly dangerous, absurdly convenient, and absurdly inescapable

There’s a mode of transit that’s convenient and versatile, simply unbeatable if you need to move 4-6 people from one spot to another—as long as both spots are within range of a working, non-malfunctioning transporter. And sure, okay, we’ve all heard stories of horrible transporter malfunctions, but like, that almost never happens! Most crew members have only been in one or two major transporter accidents in their lives! You really want to wait an hour for the shuttlecraft when you could beam straight down to Risa and start your shore leave right now? The transporter is fine, why do you have to be so weird about this?

[elbiotipo]

Everyone knows or knows someone who knows someone who has been been fused with the ground, transported into another dimension or fused with another person, it's such a common thing that it's a standard trope in fiction, "my parents vanished in a transporter accident" is Star Trek's literary trope version of "my parents died in a car crash". Transporter technicians follow protocol yes, but sometimes they're like, fuck it, my cousin Miles once transported people through an ion storm, nothing will happen if I punch through this weird radiation warning JUST this ONCE. Federation urbanists are worried that cities built around transporters lack walkable places or even roads and all, but everybody uses them, and why even care, it's not like power grids ever fail. But why are you so nervous, why do you want to take the shuttle? you can even take the transporter inside the shuttle if you want!

i think guinan as a character isn’t popular enough. i mean. she’s cool. she has knowledge of the ancient past. she’s wise. she’s whimsical. she has awesome outfits. she could probably beat everyone on the ship in a fistfight. she knows how to deal with literally everyone. she’s open minded. she’s always calm. she speaks in whimsical metaphors and riddles. she embraces her inner child. she’s Deep and Mysterious. she’s playful. she’s infuriating. she’s literally the best guys why does no one talk about her.

[kremblor]

There is so many wonderful reasons to love her. And I absolutely love that when she appears in S2 it is just implied that she has been there this whole time. Wesley is just like "thanks for always being here for me" and we as the audience are like "You thanks" meanwhile we've never seen till that first S2 episode. It's just accepted she was there for S1 because OF COURSE SHE WAS.
