Listen buddy, you may think Caitians would be nice to hook up with, and that they are sex kittens, but wait until you are making love and they suddenly cough up a fur ball. Real turnoff!
OK, so warp cores channel the most formidable energy that exists. You might want to make them stout enough to survive anything short of a vessel-destroying hit (*). But guess what, you keep getting imminent core breaches; and to top it off, it’s a safe bet when that happens that *the emergency jettison mechanism fails simultaneously!! (**) * Who’s the powerplant contractor, ACME?
(*Even a 1960s-vintage sub is built so the reactor stays in one piece even if the boat fails below crush depth; and the *Kursk *had several of its own warheads cook off yet the reactor behaved)
(**And that’s another one: your only remedy to catastrophic failure is to make it so now you are a couple of centuries away from getting anywhere?)

They’re towing a cloaked spare parts trailer. Mostly warp cores and a drawer full of random bits of hardware.
They could always rig a make shift solar sail.
Can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?
What’s my motivation?
I see you’ve managed to get your shirt off.

Janeway didn’t go through a HALF-hour shift without coffee. Is that really the sort of endorsement you covet?
(I’ve never watched an episode of “Voyager.”) Gotta run!
And yet the tribbles got Kirk’s chicken salad sandwich and coffee. Can you imagine a tribble on that much caffeine? I’m picturing a fur covered superball.
And yet, baddies can’t stop taking it over. Hippies did it with song! I’m surprised someone hasn’t taken the Enterprise over by asking the ship’s computer how to do it. I’m surprised someone hasn’t done it by accident.
The ship even takes over itself!
Or over.
No one ever turns the lights out, anywhere. It took an M5 computer to figure that one out.

You must have a teen-age daughter! WHO SAID THAT?
Ah, the adult phase of the ratchet screwdriver fruit life cycle.
99% of the time the holodeck was used for something you don’t want to watch a crewman doing, but you hope to God he cleans up after himself when he’s done.
They don’t show us that 99% because, as I said, no one wants to see that.

Will someone please come up with an algorithm with which we can calculate how long a Star Trek thread can be expected to get before this happens?

Wesley, have you ever seen a grown klingon naked?
