“Fire bad! Run for your life! I have no honor! I’m named Pee-Wee and act out my rage on harassing pink people!”— Pee-Wee Klingon.
I remember watching it and thinking the same thing myself. Yeah. The most advanced ship in the fleet, and they’re just gonna pass out schematics.
Hmmm. I think I’ll call Washington and ask for a copy of the schematics for the stealth bomber. I’ll just pretend to be an annoying kid and they’ll be sure to give them to me.
It’s no worse than the species in “Cogenitor” giving Trip free run of their ship.
I know, I know. Trek has a bad habit of showing people sharing information that they would never share without a lot of negotiations and the orders of their government. This goes all the way back to TOS. I remember watching Space Seed way back when and thinking “Yeah, right. They’re just giving Kahn unrestricted access to their complete library.” But I disagree that giving Trip free run of their ship is anyway near as egregious as giving out schematics, fer cryin’ out loud. And we don’t know that he had free run - the only place we saw him go that he wasn’t told he could go was to the couple’s quarters, and the cogenetor let him in there.
There’s no telling what he might have hidden on his person though. He could have had a tricorder in one of his coverall pockets for all they knew.
Is that a tricorder in your coverall pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I watched it. It was still dumb. My least favorite part is ths stupid Vulcan martial arts ducking trick.
“Get out of the way when they swing at you!” Duh. I could have told you that.
