We’re insane!
This series of posts had my wife and I in hysterics.
Ha, yes; I saw this linked on another forum, very funny. I especially liked the last few lines.
And that was the “mature”, “responsible” captain…
YYYYyyyyyuppp.
Look at fucking Red Squadron. The “Brightest and best”. You think its a fucking coincidence that with war on the horizon they SENT RED SQUADRON ON A CIRCUMFERENCE TOUR OF THE FEDERATION??
Do you know how long that would take?? And yet Red Squadron find a way to fuck even that up.
“We have data on a Dominion Dreadnought!!! We should try and blow it up real good!! RED SQUAD RED SQUAD RED SQUAD!!”
I think that is the first and only time I have quite literally spat orange juice over my keyboard from laughing!
Reminds me of a quote from Rick and Morty: “Sometimes science is more art than science. A lot of people don’t get that.”
And here’s the scene!
I thought it was because we have loose morals, & breed like rats.
Love this! I’m signing up right away to serve aboard the USS Watch This, Dude, It’s Gonna Be Awesome.
“Captain!!! Our sensors have detected VAST amounts of plot armor!!”
“My God! Break off the attack!”
I have dibs for First Engineering Officer aboard the USS Like Fuck I Can’t.
“Wesley Crusher is literally a next step in Human evolution who can bypass the laws of physics by ignoring them hard enough.”
Fuck yeah!

Only humans could invent a warp drive/engineering system more akin to a musical instrument than means of propulsion.
This is hilarious! I’ve been re-watching Voyager. I like it even though it’s gotten so much criticism. I just have to give it a lot of continuity and believability leeway. Anyway, with binge-watching, it’s really obvious how much they pulled out of their asses. Every episode there’s a new gadget or element or substance that fixes everything.
It’s as if Hunter Thompson wrote the Starfleet Manual: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
Many years ago I played a PBM (Play by Mail - pre-internet) space game where I belonged to the bad guys. Only we weren’t bad from our point of view, we just thought Humans were batshit insane, couldn’t be trusted with anything more than a pointed stick (if that) and needed to be forcible beaten back to the stone age.
And Neelix totally called them on this… “You’ve got a ship here that anybody in this quadrant would love to have, because it’s so technologically superior to everything else out here, and every time I turn around, you’re trying to blow it up…”
Reminds me of that episode of Stargate SG1, where they drop an active wormhole connected to a black hole into the sun and hoping that it will explode the sun. All to destroy 2 or 3 bad guy ships. And it works.
