This may have been posted before, but it's never NOT a good time to do so: We now return you to your regularly scheduled morality discussion, already in progress.

Oh, the Saudian investors probably don't care, or might even be happy about it. It gives them leverage over Musk, after all.

I brought up the Horta situation because it's another example of a non-Carbon-based lifeform that no one expected to be intelligent until Spock did his thing. That's the thing about the ideals of the TNG-era(at least) Federation in general, and Picard's command style in specific - you try the...

That leaves out the context of the episode. At the time Picard and co first meet the CE, they don't KNOW that it's not a sapient being. Hence why they try to make contact etc, to make sure they don't kill it because of a misunderstanding. After all, look how the Horta situation turned out in TOS.

Remember that high security prison I mentioned from The 2800 in STO? That's exactly what they do. All the security guards are holographic, with emitters all over the facility. You sort of see something similar with that Daystrom facility in Picard S3 too. The key to remember is mobile emitters...

Maybe they're psychic badges and just show the badge the other person expects to see.

And that's WITH him flat out refusing to pay bills wherever he thinks he can get away with it(which is pretty much everywhere by all reports).

Now you've got me imagining the whole Victory line(minus DInoking) being released under Machine Wars...

The replicator and transporter probably use similar tech, but the replicator likely isn't as precise since it doesn't have the same size buffers and whatnot, so you could try but you'd probably get something that "thankfully didn't live long"

Kahless is the Doomslayer. After he killed all the Klingon demons, he decided to come and kill other races' demons for fun. That's why you never see his face.

The way STO treated it, it was a secret that the Hurq were the first attempt at geneticly engineered soldiers, kept from the rest of the Dominion - as the changeling we freed in The 2800 was one of the ones originally responsible for it, and tries to eliminate us to keep us from finding out...

AH, thought you meant you weren't planning on seeing it, since it's been out a while. I tried to avoid being too specific(and not give away the ending as well), but I'll throw the whole thing behind a box then

You know this was pretty much the entire story arc of Discovery S4? Just replace mysterious space monster with mysterious device run by mysterious aliens.

Star Trek Online made an entire story arc out of the missing Jem'Hadar fleet, called "The 2800" where they finally exit the wormhole in 2409, take over the station, and then you have to go retrieve a changeling from Federation High Security prison to tell them off and send them back, since they...

They gotta fit in the ring if they're going to defend their wrestling titles.
