All the scenes which René appears were not included.

I’m sorry Rene, the editor just said fuck you in particular 🤷‍♀️

they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless

Gorn Queen in 3…2…

I’m kidding, but also, please no.

I really enjoyed this. Dying gasps of wasps is so poetic.

However, as a fig grower and excel user, I would replace:

makes a mess on my desktop

with:

seeds are confusing

Because propagating fig via seed as pretty tricky, and understanding the underlying random seed in excel is also pretty bewildering. And also excel only clutters your desktop when you yourself save too many files there, right?

Woah isn’t that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

We know Riker plays for keeps; Quark owes him platinum and tried to foist gift cards on him for payment.

We know the TNG poker games would also raise the stakes; Crusher challenges Riker, LaForge, and Worf to bet shaving their beards that one time.

We know that gambling lingo is still commonplace, even though Mariner doesnt know other slang from our era (eg what a pinup poster is)

I want to say that gambling never left and it makes me realize we’re sorely missing a proper heist episode. With Quark 👌

Edit: I am mistaken, I forgot about Moogie

How about a Worfian view on on honor:

In war, there is nothing more honourable than victory.

Worf would absolutely jump out an airlock, drunk on honour, if it would actually mean victory.

But Worf wouldn’t jump out just to die for Gowron’s lulz.

They could do an episode in this idea too, you got a stew going here 🤙

Some aliens arrive looking for Dax (who remembers them and why they’ve come) but then the aliens kidnap Dax!

After some science the crew learns that Dax must have diverged in the past and the aliens are seeking the Other Dax.

The crew finds the Other Dax, explains the situation, and cooks up a ruse to free both Dax and Other Dax.

Episode ends on Other Dax’s personal log detailing a trip home to the TSC.

I’ve never been here before and I already want the bread flair 🤙

I am now subscribed so I can witness the revolution; OP made a compelling case for a bunch of shit I never even considered and now I want to see what happens.

Let’s go further, since they already lie about the number of symbionts.

The TSC would take an inspired approach and seek to discover the cloning process so they can scale symbionts to the entire population, and thus finally end the conspiracy.

You get a symbiont, and you get a symbiont, everyone gets a symbiont!
