Don't get me wrong; I love both those characters, but Riker would keep bringing his girlfriends home, while Data doesn't sleep, so you'd have to deal with him wandering around at night.
“There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew."
- Janeway to Naomi (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
"Without followers, evil cannot spread."
- Spock, 'Star Trek', Season 3, episode 5.
I love Spock. I mean, who doesn't? Does anyone here think I should be more logical? Well, I'll learn.
Sarek is the father of Spock and logic on Vulcan, but he succumbed to his illness. I watched Unification I (episode). I thought it was sad. I loved Sarek. I want to write a tribute to him, but how can I begin? Please, be nice. I'm really feeling this.
In WOK, we see a torpedo tube with Spock in it being launched to the planet created by the Genesis Device. I was looking at the Boarding Torpedo TV Tropes page, and thought about that scene, and got the idea that this could work if the transporters are down (obviously). So could it work? We see the torp not explode, so it could be a lot less risky than some may think, but what does that idea sound like to you?
Dismissed. That's a Starfleet expression for 'get out'."
- Janeway to Neelix (VOY: "The Cloud")

What if I went on the USS Enterprise D, and only ate alien foods, like Acamarian types and Klingon ones, too? Would Deanna Troi need to help me if I refused to earth food from Earth? Would you say Earth food was, like, Ferengi, or something?
I am reading an H.G. Wells story, "The New Accelerator", originally published in 1901. The plot ia about a scientist who developes a tonic, a drug, that speeds up the operation of the nervous system. The story describes the effects it has on the two men who take it.
As I am reading it, I think to myself, this seems a lot like the plot of "Wink of an Eye" (TOS 3x13). Accroding to MA, this epsiode was indeed influenced by the Wells story.
This is another example of the literary quality of Star Trek, one of the elements of Trek which I so greatly appreciate. And full disclosure, "Wink of an Eye" ia among my favorite third season episodes, even before being aware of the H.G. Wells connection. (I also really like "Blink of an Eye", but that's another show...)

I know that commander Janice Rand went on to become the communications officer of the USS Excelsior but could she also be the ships first officer because she seems to be the next ranking bridge officer after captain Hikaru Sulu.
Here's a question for the experts. would it be possible to modify and refit a sovereign class starship to function as a salvaging vessel?
(To Alice 27) "I love you."
(To Alice 210) "However, I hate you."
"But I am identical in every way with Alice 27!"
"Exactly. That is exactly why I hate you; because you are identical."[The androids violently malfunction.]
”Fascinating."
- Spock and Alice 210 (TOS: "I, Mudd")

I found myself thinking of the good doctor this morning, hence this post Here’s to “Bones”, my favorite of all Doctors!
Hello everyone! I am a new person to this wiki. I am 14 years old. What I want to get clear up is I know nothing about Star Trek. I saw the title on Netflix and I am thinking of checking it out. Can any of you explain to me what it is about? Besides that, does this wiki has a list of media? Such as a list of comics, movies, series, novels, games and much more. Thanks everyone! Hope to be friends! 😁
