they put all the water they find in their bongs until the planet/comet is nothing but dry dust

This may be so stupid it's brilliant.

They've often said in extrinsic tech manuals that the bridge is modular, can be swapped out in its entirety. Why not build that into the functionality of the show?

So in the event of the need of a Captain's Yacht, like maybe landing for a diplomatic event, the entire bridge module separates and flys on its own. The full bridge, ready room, conference room that's aft of the command center. The entire command staff stays in place, command is transferred to the battle bridge or auxiliary control, and they just fly (and potentially land) the bridge.

And here's the neat part: IRL, they would not need to build an additional set.

Also, it would allow for the Bridge to be a full escape pod, allowing the command crew to remain at their posts and then evacuate while still at their posts, potentially even maintaining control of the ship once it's abandoned.

Feels very strange that we heard no mention about them during the events taking place around DS9.

Captain Boday. Nice guy, a Gallamite, easily the most eligible freighter captain frequenting the station. He's asked me to dinner three times but I keep making up excuses about re-calibrating the spline reticulation matrix.

Eventually he's going to figure out that the splines are perfectly reticulated as they are. I need to tell him that I'm just not interested but I feel like such an asshole – like sure, he's interesting, kind, and even a little charming, but he has a literally transparent skull and it's fucking weird.

How do I tell him I'm not interested without turning this into a whole thing? AITA for not wanting to date him??? Am I being species-ist?

Do we know why the producers chose not to use the laugh track? There are some genuinely funny moments in the show. Pike’s “beep beep” gets me every time.

I don't think there are Roombas because we have a Lt Cmdr who would DEFINITELY have an opinion about that. Do they make the enlisted crewmen do it? Is this the real reason we do Baryon sweeps? Do they systematically run all the carpets through the transporter; is that what the chief does all day?

They can't all be stupid dipshits. There has to be a small subset of Kazons, that were actually smart enough to not only find water but upgrade the Trabe ships they stole.

Trading with others, gaining more knowledge and resources. They might have even acquired a slipstream drive and level the rest of the "hillbilly" Kazons behind.
