Daystrom Institute is UFP, not Starfleet affiliated. Hence why those who work at Daystrom aren’t Starfleet.

I didn’t notice this before but in Alpha canon Daystrom Institute was founded in 2256, before TOS. So this speech doesn’t make sense. The writer probably didn’t know that either.

EDIT: I need to clarify that this information is from “Chose Your Pain”, so it came along after “The Ultimate Computer”.

This meant to be satire?

Considering he didn’t understand as a child that staring at Bulma naked was not appropriate, I’m not surprised he doesn’t know what a penis is.

EDIT: Yes I read that conversation as the voices of Christopher Sabat and Sean Schemmel.

You can find this on the album Inside Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was asked to give an example of network notes. For context, just know Gene was a Humanist. He framed The Bible as if it was the script for a television show. Everything pretty much would have been deemed inappropriate.

I know we tease people in modern times who would criticize Jesus of Nazareth for how he has been historically known, but it is wild how a religious text would not been deemed acceptable for 60s or 70s television.

But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.

Sounds like something someone else would say…

Yeah, if you go back and watch the video I posted on YouTube, the welcome message that plays when you’re in line specifically says shuttle. It would’ve made more sense if they were runabouts but there’s no evidence that runabouts are even used during the period of Picard season 3.

Based on what I can remember from DS9, runabouts are faster and generally used for longer trips.

EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?

EDIT 2: The site I linked says 28.19 days.

Since when is baking soda a liquid?

It was restarted in like the last year.

G.I.N.A.S.F.S.

I hate that Ben Stiller named that character such. Stiller is a big TOS fan (doesn’t seem to have watched anything else based on interviews). He named his production company Red Hour.

EDIT: I do not like Zoolander.

Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.

EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.

How many times can you use the Spock-Scotty bridge scene (the lighting and angle give away what episode it was)?

How is this remembered for the allegory but not the huge animal with horns that attacks Kirk?

😑

No thanks.

At least I wasn’t attending a bat’leth tournament.

What’s your take on Cellular from 2004 that starred Kim Basinger, Jason Statham, Chris Evans and Eric Christian Olsen?
