Don’t forget the Snake game.


The thing that gets me about this episode is how it compares to All Good Things.
In AGT there’s a scene where Picard is in the past on the bridge and he’s ordering them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship, and for which he gives no good reason. The crew reasonably objects, and Picard launches into an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech about how awesome the crew is. And the crew goes along with it.
Contrast this with the scene in Allegiance where “Picard” orders them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship and for which he gives no good reason. “Picard” assures them with an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech. And the crew mutinies.
While it’s true that in Allegiance the crew were already suspicious, it’s also true that in the AGT scene the crew didn’t know Picard well enough to give him the benefit of the doubt.





That’s nice, but it’d really be cool if he was also the messiah of an alien religion. Oh well.


More like the military governor of a port city. Even if Starfleet isn’t a military organization, the Bajoran Militia most definitely is one. And by means of the Bajoran soldiers under his direct (even divine) command, Sisko exercises legislative, executive, and judicial power at the equivalent of a municipal level, even extending over the civilian population of the station.
I want to see the timeline where Sisko declares DS9 an independent state.


Mirab with sails unfurled!


Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish recruitment office?


My headcanon is that the author of the holonovel wasn’t as well versed in early 20th century slang as they purported to be, and the phrase is an in-universe anachronism.


I’m going to start using this expression in every day conversation.


Assuming it survives the fall to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the building management should be able to retrieve it for you.


Not all replicators are created equally.
Starfleet standard-issue food replicators won’t produce unhealthy foods, true alcohol, etc. If you ask for a hot fudge sundae you’ll get something that resembles a hot fudge sundae, but which has the nutritional value of a balanced meal. If you ask for whiskey, you’ll get synthehol. The psychological impact (sugar high, intoxication, tryptophan sleepiness, etc.) of replicated food is muted or absent compared to the real thing.
That’s why people go to places like Quark’s. His replicators produce real food and real booze, with all the psychological effects that come with them.
At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.


Krombiception, of course.
…you do have krombiception, don’t you?
“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”
I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.
I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.


According to my extensive 30 seconds of research, the difference is that a sauce is an integral ingredient, but a condiment is added after the dish is served. In which case, ketchup can be either or both, even in the same dish.

Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.
