Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

The Xindi should have been gassed for what they tried to do.

*Tried* to do?

 

[William Murderface]

*Tried* to do?

The Xindi should have gotten a medal for finally solving the problem of I-4. The Long, Skinny Parking Lot finally is free of traffic!

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

The Xindi targeted Florida because when the Sphere Builders were researching Humans they found references to a demi-god called Florida Man. The tales of this nigh-immortal chaos god smoking his holy drug, meth, while copulating with reptiles was what convinced them to try to destroy Florida first before destroying the planet.

 

[Dr. Sexbot]

I thought they were just going after the attorneys. Hey-oo!

 

[TaimuRadiu]

Wow you'd think the centre of the Earth Starfleet would have had a bunch of ships and satellite defence systems encircled around it to protect from shit like the Xindi weapon. That is if we're not playing the game that First Contact diverged the worldlines and Enterprise never happened in the main worldline with Kirk and Picard. (Some of this is actually a plot point in Strange New Worlds, in which it's outright stated that the Temporal War caused Earth's history to be all timey wimey wibbly wobbly.)

Most Star Trek episodes wouldn't work if they had surveillance cameras on their ships and stations.

"hey why don't we give our away teams video cameras linked into the ship's communications system?"

"no just send the entire senior staff down there including the precious irreplaceable sentient android, everything will be fine"

I know this is before the formation of the Federation, but just how many ships did Starfleet have back then?

 

[TaimuRadiu]

at least 2 Warp 5 ships, a bunch of other ships, probably a couple dozen in the Earth Cargo Service.

Probably more than a dozen Warp 1 ships around Earth at any given time, but you don't exactly need to go at superluminal speeds to put a drone controlled ship in front of the Florida limiter.

I assumed all the pre-Warp 5 ships got ganked as the Earth Defense Force due to their crapness. The NX was undergunned for multiple seasons and it's a protagonist ship. How well would random transport ship handle the Xindi Death Ball?

 

[Meriasek]

I require more Starfleet crayon eater greentexts.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I require more Starfleet crayon eater greentexts.

I've been busy but I have not forgotten.

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

Most Star Trek episodes wouldn't work if they had surveillance cameras on their ships and stations.

The remainder also wouldn't work if simple hazmat protocols and procedures were observed. In the 24th century they can't stack simple shit like plastic barrels right.

I thought they were just going after the attorneys. Hey-oo!

All lawyers were killed in the post-atomic horror, with Earth becoming a paradise not even 20 years later. I wonder what they meant by that...

I don't care, just stick a bunch of them in front of the sphere before it gets anywhere near the Earth.

How fast did it take the Verteron Array to nearly yeet San Francisco off the map? Just aim it at that, it's not like there's any sentient animals in Florida to worry about.

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

Verteron Array

One of the massively OP super contraptions humans build for peaceful purposes and never really weaponise it because they're nice now.

Canonically the Post Atomic Horror was still going on until like 2100 or so. It's also hinted in series that (((Vulcanian))) aid to Earth made the Earthers be able to eschew money since everyone had basic health care, housing, and food.

Then you get a lot of lawyers later, but it's also hinted that the Federation is a military dictatorship to a degree. At least that would explain why JAG officers can rule on whether or not people who have been officers in the Starfleet for 20+ years can be "sentient".

Imagine how many episodes would be ruined if the brig had metal bars instead of forcefields.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Strange New Worlds had its season premier last night. The Gorn go into hibernation if their suns get too bright and Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is now in the Star Trek canon. And one of Q's sons fucked around with the crew of the Enterprise no bloody A,B,C, or D. Dave Cullen brought this up in his recent video about SNW, if you only have 10 episodes in a season you don't have time for jokey episodes.

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Did at least one of the bridge crew go into an autistic explanation about how that and the Spice Girls were used as psychological warfare and torture devices during the Eugenics Wars/WW3? No? Fucking lame.
