Yeah I’ve actually thought about this.

Like… did Q just re-create existence around him? Or did he pluck Prime Picards consciousness and dump it into the body of Beta Picard? I like to think it’s the latter with Beta Picard in the background just like “Wait… what? What’s happening?” and then Q and Picard fuck off leaving this poor dude to desperately rely on therapy for the next couple years.

I think this is a rare case where “it was all a dream” is fine

My headcanon is that Q shifted Picard to an alternate quantum reality. Like what happened to Worf that one time.

Q has made little pocket realities before that don’t seem to affect the rest of the universe.

I recall an episode where they showed a video stream from Geordie’s visor. There’s no way he could discern paying cards.

It was also explained in that episode that he can selectively look at different parts of the spectrum.

The dialog says something like "picking out a conversation in a crowded room."

Zorque ,

There was also an episode where he explained he could see through the cards to discern their values.

He doesn't look until after the hand ends... or so he says.

Pfft, Geordi is the least of Worf’s problems at that table. Data is literally a walking computer, Troi can read minds, and Riker is evidently the greatest poker player who ever lived.

Everyone thought Bashir was the one holding back at darts, when it was actually O’Brien

    Is there a reference to Elon Musk in one of the newer Star Treks or something?

    SARGEx117 ,

    In star trek discovery, one of the characters puts him on the level of Wright brothers and Zefram Cochrane.

    Sharkwellington ,

    😬

    jaywalker ,

    I can imagine Elon paying for this. I’m not saying he did, but I can imagine it.

    Morgoon ,

    I think it was actually clever ::: spoiler the character who references Musk is a mirror universe evil doppelganger. Him admiring Musk is one of several clues that he’s evil. :::

    SARGEx117 ,

    Full disclosure, I’ve not seen discovery. Didn’t want to pay for paramount+ and now that I know more about the general plot, I’m not interested. Same thing for most of the new shows.

    Love me some lower decks though.

    Nacktmull ,
    @Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

    Agreed, you’re not missing anything, same with the Picard show. I wish I could unwatch New Trek.

    IronCorgi ,

    Picard was pretty good, nowhere near the clusterfuck that discovery is.

    andthenthreemore ,
    @andthenthreemore@startrek.website avatar

    You could read it as clever, if you want to be really kind. However, I don’t think anywhere near that much thought went into Discovery.

    shutz , in But they don't know what baseball is?

    I bet it didn’t survive the refit. Actually, I suspect that’s where the “Rec Deck” from TMP ended up, though I have no proof (were the post-refit blueprints ever published?)

    captain_aggravated ,
    @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Is there even a space for the “Rec Deck” to fit in a Constitution class? I don’t think it would fit where the blueprints show the bowling alley because the “Rec Deck” is at least two decks tall. The Constitution class is surprisingly small; I was a TNG guy and the Galaxy class ships are comically gigantic.

    Would be a question I would pose to a Youtuber by the name of We Travel By Night, who has tackled things like “The turbolift shafts on the exterior model don’t change from movie to movie, but the turbolift doors gradually move apart as they update the set.” or “the ship’s neck is so narrow that there’s no room for the turbolift and the engine plumbing to pass by each other, so how does that even work?”

    Anticorp , in Even the ship counselor gives him no respect, I tell ya.

    Idk about you guys, but I don’t think this episode aged very well. Joe Piscapo is annoying throughout the entire episode.

    GregorGizeh ,

    Yeah it makes me cringe every rewatch. I usually just skip those scenes

    JackLSauce , in Those dirty hoomans...

    Just here for the memes but is the letter transposition a typo or something that actually happened between series?

    Was bowling big in the 60s?

    FlyingSquid OP ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Yep. They had bowling on TV back then!

    remotelove ,

    They even had bowling on TV through the 90s, actually. I used to watch it religiously before I was a teenager.

    Repelle ,

    I haven’t watched broadcast tv in years. Is bowling no longer broadcast? I never paid attention to it so I assumed it was just always there.

    remotelove ,

    It wouldn’t surprise me if it is still on but I don’t watch TV anymore either. If my memory serves me correctly, I saw an 80s rerun on ESPN about 5 years ago, but for the life of me, I have no idea why I was watching ESPN to begin with. (Nostalgia, maybe?)

    ESPN 8: The Ocho

    FlyingSquid OP ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh, I didn’t mean ESPN. Remember, back then there were three networks. Bowling was a huge deal to take up that time.

    peopleproblems ,

    They still have bowling on TV.

    Are you guys trying to make me feel older than I really am?

    @tja@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Only if you are young. Like under 40.

    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    whew I’m only 38. Still young.

    Ddhuud ,

    Yes, but in the 60 there was like 15 channels total.

    Davel23 ,

    NIxon had a bowling alley installed in the White House.

    xusontha , (edited ) in But they don't know what baseball is?

    It’s the most critical part of the ship-Kirk uses it for showing off “diplomatic meetings”

    FlyingSquid OP ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m picturing Data showing McCoy around the Enterprise-D in Encounter at Farpoint- “where’s your bowling alley, boy?” “We do not have a bowling alley here, sir. But we have a holodeck that can simulate a bowling al-” “I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT MIXED-UP MOLECULES! Where’s the bowling alley? This is the Enterprise, boy!”

    xusontha ,

    With the size of the Enterprise-D I’m astonished someone didn’t stick at least a mini bowling alley in there somewhere

    rotopenguin ,
    @rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

    A third of the ship is all Holodecks*, so if you want to bowl you could just load a program up.

    *Source: computed by taking the number of “holodeck is trying to kill everybody” episodes and dividing it by the total number of series episodes.

    xusontha ,

    That is the best way of doing math lol

    But does that mean there is a sliver of Risa in Deep Space Nine?

    Sadly it’s only the table flipping extremists.

    FlyingSquid OP , in But they don't know what baseball is?
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    By the way, if you want to know whether or not this is canon? It’s canon.

    In 2266, Kevin Riley, under the influence of polywater intoxication, “ordered” a formal dance to be held in the bowling alley on the USS Enterprise. (TOS: “The Naked Time”)

    Well more accurately we got so many great characters from DS9 but this is just about Ferengi right now
