He must hold back every day or he would constantly be crushing peoples hands. There was an episode where they mentioned that Data was the only one on-board capable of breaking Worf’s arm.
edit: wrist, not arm.

Not that I know of, but he did play Arik Soong for three episodes on Enterprise which was a pretty dark role for him.



Yeah, I don’t doubt their intelligence I’m just curious about the more practical problems of society/technology. For example, what do their technical manuals look like? How do you train a new Tamarian recruit on how do maintenance? Or for that matter, how do you pass along technical knowledge at all when all of your language seems to be in the form of specific cultural references? At least with the Pakleds and the Klingons we know the answer - they stole it.


“It’s Always Sunny in the Holodeck” is a crossover I didn’t know I needed until this very second. Bravo. Now I’m picturing Lore going off about being a golden god.


Pakleds are one of the goofier mono-cultures in Trek. Up there with the Tamarians on my list of “How the hell did this species learn to fly?”. The bottom of the list is the Klingons, only because we know they stole most of their ship tech from the Hur’q.


I always assumed he was involved in some sort of supervisory role but he this makes a lot of sense. My new headcannon is that he’s the reason they stuffed such an overpowered engine in it because he wanted to see if it was possible.


Supposedly he was going to be a regular cast member if the show had gotten a season 5. The show was leading into the Earth-Romulan War and Shran was going to be a sort of tactical advisor to Archer since Earth didn’t have much experience with space warfare yet.
Fry: Mister Nimoy, I came as soon as I heard what happened centuries ago. I can’t believe your show was banned.
Leonard Nimoy: I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
Fry: You know. 1966? 79 episodes, about 30 good ones.


i just looked this up, lmao is this seriously a movie adaptation of rock 'em sock 'em robots??? has hollywood no shame?


lol yeah they said the robots will need to train for a while before they can do certain tasks, or do them well. “the next few years isn’t about owning a super useful robot, it’s about raising one.” our little robot children will eventually grow up and overthrow us, really warms the cockles.


One of my absolute FAVORITE out of context Trek quotes comes from this episode. “Get the cheese to sick bay, the doctor should look at it as soon as possible.” but I usualy shorten it to just “Get the cheese to sick bay!”.


It was a 3/4 size model, wasn’t it? Surely they could tow it on a trailer?
Edit: from wikipedia
Art director Matt Jefferies originally envisioned a sleek, streamlined shuttle based upon his background as a pilot. The curved shape proved too expensive to build for the first episodes.[3] AMT offered to build a full-sized shuttlecraft at no cost in exchange for rights to market a model kit. The final design of the mockup, by Gene Winfield,[4] is 24 feet (7.2 m) long and weighs one ton, has a plywood hull, and was built in two months by a team of 12 people. A separate set was used for interior scenes as the mockup was too small for filming.[5]


I only powered through so I could enjoy being blue-balled by Seven in the very last scene.


look at it from the pessimist’s point of view, they could have killed side loading too!


That nvme drive just hanging out next to the power cord is giving me a type of anxiety I never knew I had, thanks.
Fantastic, that means we can have someone toss klingon devito for a gag
