I like how everyone has all these hobbies and social activities like poker or fencing, except Barclay, who is a depressed and anxious workaholic except when he goes to the holodeck to jerk off. He was truly ahead of his time.
or when he finally breaks out of his shell, when he had all the cytherian knowledge downloaded into his brain, they shat on him for that.
Remember how everyone shit on Barclay for being a creep until Geordi got busted for making a virtual fuck doll of that one physicist lady? Good times.
No, because neither of those things happened.
They discovered Barclay’s unhealthy holodeck fantasies, and while the crew was made uncomfortable by exploring them, that’s how they found out he had issues that need treatment. No character ever holds it against him.
Geordi had a problem with the Enterprise’s engines that he wanted to discuss with the engineer that designed them. He had the holodeck simulate said engineer–who turned out to be a woman. And then the computer simulated the engineer flirting with him. Which then got replayed and taken out of context.
until data made the creepy daughter/doll of his.
I think the funniest part of that is in the last episode of TNG there is a throw away line that heavily implies they got married and had kids.
In the books they get together for a while.
Only realistic part of Star Trek
And no matter how important their jobs are or how much work they have, they still find time to learn to play musical instruments.
Well yes getting put in a coma and being forced to live an entire lifetime does give you time to learn the penny whistle
and get laid alot.
I’m a firm believer that if we locked up all the project managers, we’d pass the singularity in 5 years.
If we outlawed people talking about their kids in meetings we’d hit it in 3.5 years
Musicians and actors tend to get plenty of dates if they want them, I don’t think this is some utopian thing.
Starting a band to meet girls in high school/college is a trope for a reason.
It also allows a good work-life balance. The ship is your home, your coworkers are your friends and neighbors, you have complete access to physical and mental healthcare you don’t have to worry about bankrupting you. When working-to-live doesn’t consume all of your time, that gives you freedom to pursue whatever you want to pursue. You can enjoy activities without being bombarded with ads every 12 seconds or social pressures. The food you’re provided is either inherently healthy or made with pride so it’s not 35% salt and cheap processed fillers inherently bad for you so obesity is a thing of the past. So everyone is relatively in good health, in shape or otherwise comfortable with who they are if they don’t have 6-pack abs and vascular arms.
It’s also kinda interesting that command officers are openly allowed to engage in any relationship they want to with people who report to them, without any worry of stigma, workplace reprisal, or issues with professionalism/favoritism.
Fully automated gay space communism comes with a beat you can dance to
This one is simple: those who play brass know how to rim ass.
Theater people always get laid.
musicians too, hence why some of them played.
“Also” from what? It’s not these things, but it’s also this thing? What?
