Remember when Jellico commanded the Dauntless to fire a torpedo into the Neutral Zone because he didn't want to upset the Romulans during sensitive negotiations by simply having the ship go in itself?

Jellico might not be a badmiral but he's certainly a bad-at-his-jobmiral, and he was a crap-at-his-jobtain as well.

I don't know who told you that posts here don't need to fall under the category of memes and shitposts, but I guarantee you it was not me.

When you go to someone's house, do you shit on their floor if there isn't a cross stitch hanging by the door that says "Please don't shit on our floor."

We shouldn't need rules, because everyone here is an adult and the expectation is they will conduct themselves as such.

Beyond that it says right on the tin, "Star Trek memes and shitposts," so if it's not Star Trek related (and the bar for that is incredibly low) or it's not a meme or shitpost, then there's no reason for it to be here.

For sure.

But Andrew Robinson has been pretty open about the fact that he played Garak as being sexually attracted to Bashir, and DS9 writer, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, has said that he had that in mind when writing scenes between the two characters.

They actually hired people to come in and paint on a recreation of the specific wood grain on the arch behind the captain’s chair.

Imagine if that amount of care and effort was put into making a story suited to those characters?

“Nemesis” was never meant to be a send off, though. It’s not great by any measure, but I still think it was more entertaining than season three of PIC despite all that.

I already have and have finished the game so I will recuse myself from the giveaway, but my first Trek game was the unofficial, DOS based, EGA Trek.

After that, it was A Final Unity.

Solok out here catching strays that should have been meant for Tolaris.

If I can offer a counter argument to what others who've replied to you have said, in my opinion, season three of PIC is the single worst season of Star Trek to date. Nothing but empty, cynical fanservice, and the introduction of the worst sort of Scrappy-Doo character in Picard's adult son, Jack Crusher.

People like the season because it's getting the TNG band back together, but the season embodies all the complaints that were levelled at season one, justified or unjustified, but simply has some familiar faces. Slop in a trough.

Buddy, that’s my wheelhouse.

Is that a serious question?
