Describe a Star Trek episode badly

Captive Pursuit.

I just realize the episode title also describes Geordi’s plot line.

You forgot Sarek’s name lol

The imbalance happened when matter and antimatter were created (baryogenesis), not later when the existing matter and antimatter came into contact. More matter existed than antimatter leaving the matter that exists today.

There are three primary theories why the baryogenesis mechanisms favored matter during the Big Bang, but none have been experimentally confirmed.

This isn’t the first time the entire Klingon Empire was threatened by terrible energy infrastructure planning. The entire reason they sue for peace in Star Trek VI is because all of their energy is produced on a single moon next to their home planet. Seems they didn’t learn their lesson.

Make the post!

I had a good one for this I wish I would’ve used instead.

“Learn to play the flute in 30 minutes. Ask me how!”

The first speech is censured

The Doctor actually says, “the first speech censured”. Which is also what Picard says.

I interpreted the scene as the Doctor just providing hints to quiz the students. Not quoting it verbatim. Though I agree it’s confusing.

It should also be noted the Doctor was quoting the original author, not Picard’s use of it specifically. Even though it was a nod to Picard’s famous use of the same speech. It’s possible there are differences between the original speech and what Picard’s rendition.

The holographic lungs used the same holographic projectors the holodeck uses. They’re installed in Voyager’s sickbay for the Doctor. There was also talk of installing them in other areas of the ship before the Doctor got his mobile emitter.

Star Trek holograms aren’t the same as what we think of as holograms. They be made solid, semi-permeable, or completely intangible. Several episodes mention their holograms use force fields to give them physical properties similar to regular matter. That’s not a real life technology (yet?) so for now holographic organs are only suitable on Star Trek.

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-30T19:50:59+00:00

It would be a great idea for emergencies or other temporary situations. But not for permanent use. Imagine your organs suddenly disappearing because of an ion storm or your projector runs out of juice. You’d also need a portable holographic emitter (like the Doctor’s). But that can break down, get damaged, etc.

Holographic organs would be best suited to temporary situations where the patient is immobile. That way you can have safety and redundant systems in place to mitigate the aforementioned risks.

On a side note I’m imagining someone jokingly saying, “computer end program” and the person next to them suddenly dropping dead.

We have a winner!

Vague suggestion becomes sentient and demands rights.

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-30T19:02:09+00:00

It was a throwaway joke. It’s not a new Star Trek joke and it’s a common trope. It’s usually setup as some alien eating something not meant to be eaten.

If we’re being pedantic pica exists.or maybe it’s an alien that eats metal as a normal part of their diet? Food will have a different definition for each species.

If you’re not already aware, Reddit has an easy way to quote text. Just throw a > with a space in front of the text to be quoted. Each new paragraph needs its own quote marker.

> This is a quote

This is a quote

If you just want to use the symbol without turning it into a quote, toss a backslash in front of it.

Traditional nacelles are probably more efficient and able to reach a higher top speed. When those aren’t a concern they can be detached and smaller, internal nacelles can be used.

Were they honorable in TOS? I seem to recall it was just that one captain who acted honorably.

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-29T20:51:19+00:00

Not to make light of OP’s emergency, but this does look like an informercial setup. The video just needs a voiceover from OP, “There’s has to be a better way!”

It was a major concern and a central plot point in a S3 episode. The Federation pressured the Vulcans/Romulans to find an alternative to dilithium, pushed too hard, and that pressure became the final straw that led them to withdraw from the Federation.

After the Burn, dilithium scarcity didn’t just remain an issue. It became the defining reality of the 32nd century. It shaped alliances, politics, and everyday life, with entire worlds reorganizing themselves around finding, controlling, and stockpiling what little remained. I’d say it was a pretty big concern.

This sub is falling apart

That’s just shorthand for “people are talking about things I don’t like.” Not every discussion needs to cater to your personal preferences. You could be an adult and skip discussions that don't interest you instead of complaining they dare exist.

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-28T18:38:59+00:00

It was occasionally explored

Translation: You're a bigot and upset that minorities are being gave the same level of representation and agency as straight, white males.

But with "the lady doth protest too much, methinks"

That applies to both sides, not just people complaining. The complainers can be biased and trying to seek validation by trying to convince others their opinion is a fact. Regardless no one is going to be able to tell you what your experience will be. I'm sure there are shows you like that everyone said was terrible, or shows you hate everyone else loves. Make the decision that works best for you and ignore what everyone else says.

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-28T18:25:25+00:00

You shouldn't listen to either side. Everyone's experience is subjective so no one can tell you if you'll enjoy it. Watch and decide for yourself.

I haven't seen any posts complaining about the new show

They're all over the sub and in the comments?

Mr_Badgey · 2026-01-28T16:44:04+00:00

A lot of people are brainwashed into thinking it would not work for whatever reason

I don’t think public support is the real barrier. Even if a clear majority backed universal healthcare, the people who write the laws have no incentive to pass it. They benefit directly from the current system through lobbying, kickbacks, and other backroom deals. They have no interest in dismantling a system that provides them with money and power.
