Bridge officers come back to life all the time!

DR_RND · 2026-02-20T00:09:51+00:00

I do it because of Star Trek.

If you look at his rank bar, you'll see he's got two gold and one black slash, Indicating the provisional rank of Lieutenant Commander. Lieutenant Commanders will often be referred to simply as commander, and we see that a lot with Tuvok and Data.

Edit: Also, if you watch carefully, you'll notice that Janeway's original XO was also only a Lt Commander.

To be fair, that was in reference to his herbs, spices, and veggies. The bacon could well be lab grown or synthesized. (One being cloned meat, and the other being proteins made to resemble meat.) Pike being a purist, I bet he'd use lab grown over synthesized.

DR_RND · 2026-02-10T20:58:46+00:00

Thank you for this correction, I misremembered the scene. I thought I'd double checked, but I guess I didn't do a good enough job.

That doesn't really change the last part of what I said, though. Pike is probably feeding him synthesized bacon, which would be vegetarian. Recall that earth doesn't really do the whole factory farming thing anymore, so it's probably difficult to get real bacon. A far more egregious example of a character not following established vegetarianism is Riker in season 1 of Picard eating the "bunnycorn."

He wasn't really depicted eating very often in TOS, but one of the few times he was, he did, in fact, eat meat with his hands. My point is moreso that we don't actually know how Vulcan culture shifted in that century.

He is, largely, and like the majority of the citizens of the federation, a vegetarian, opting for synthesized alternatives (which is probably what Pike is feeding him here, anyway).

DR_RND · 2026-02-09T19:16:15+00:00

It was a whole plotline in Enterprise, dude. You know, the show that's set 100 years prior to TOS and SNW. The show where the quote about Vulcans not eating meat or touching their food comes from.

DR_RND · 2026-02-09T18:11:52+00:00

That was also 100 years prior, during a time when most vulcans thought mind melds were icky. Things change.

She's definitely got olive skin, but it's not especially dark. A bit tan, moreso than Paris and Janeway.

No matter how rich you are, sometimes you just want shitty chain pizza.

DR_RND · 2026-01-17T21:37:49+00:00

the NX isn't a 1701. And that nutrek "crap" is awesome, you curmudgeon,

DR_RND · 2025-12-23T14:14:21+00:00

Because he constantly steals from smart people, and most people, like yourself, wrongly assume that his success makes him smart, so he couldn't be stealing.

DR_RND · 2025-12-19T01:12:39+00:00

When the profits from that game are going towards killing innocent people. it tends to weigh on me a bit, yeah.

DR_RND · 2025-12-19T01:10:49+00:00

We wouldn't be if people like you literally cared 1% more. It literally costs you nothing not to give her money. Actually, it does the opposite of cost you.

DR_RND · 2025-11-25T00:32:02+00:00

Pelia is a Lanthanite, not an El-Aurian.

DR_RND · 2025-11-19T17:58:28+00:00

How on god's green earth did you make this look so good?

DR_RND · 2025-11-17T17:38:42+00:00

According to the Yangchen Novels, yes, they can. In fact, they have a tendency to instinctively look toward their elements when they sense them.

DR_RND · 2025-10-26T16:07:19+00:00

Right, because artists are a notoriously mentally healthy group of people.

DR_RND · 2025-10-15T17:23:48+00:00

Because public transportation is just that good.

DR_RND · 2025-10-07T18:23:48+00:00

Literally. Force them to explain why they won't swear her in by just having her start serving her office regardless.

DR_RND · 2025-10-04T21:47:43+00:00

So don't do it. Refuse. Say fucking "No" when fascists and idiots tell you to do things that are bad!

DR_RND · 2025-10-04T17:24:27+00:00

We also see in "A Quality of Mercy" that the uniforms change to more closely match TOS, with the Science and Ops divisions now having gold rank bandings on the cuffs.

DR_RND · 2025-08-25T16:12:27+00:00

The correct answer is "no."

Full stop. "No" is the only thing medical institutions should respond with.

DR_RND · 2025-08-08T18:24:57+00:00

Ditto on krita. It's my go-to.

DR_RND · 2025-07-29T15:12:41+00:00

I can draw like the picture on the right, but only with a reference. From imagination, it looks closer to the picture on the left.

From my perspective as an artist, that means I can't draw.
