His transformation into the ECH. How his pips just rise out of his uniform when needed. Imagine B'Elanna saying "We just can't spare the power for you to have a full time penis if you're not going to use it. I can give you 3 hours a day or I might as well be throwing buckets of Deuterium out an airlock."
ROFL I like that idea. EMH has to schedule time with his penis. Unless he gets transferred to the holodeck, of course, where the emergency power supply that apparently keeps them going 24/7 can probably provide him a penis for as long as he stays within the confides of the grid.
But it needs to be visible through his pants to continue the bedside manner illusion that he is an actual human being. Otherwise people he is treating are going to be thinking, "Ken doll" the whole time as they try not to look too hard to see if the rumours are true. This is not good for doctor/patient relations.
It's the 24th century and they still have ken dolls? Or has the phrase survived long after all subsidiaries of Mattel INC melted in a nuclear holocaust? I can imagine Agents of Mattel with time travel coming forward to punch children who replicated Barbie dolls without paying for a licence fee to use the patent.
Mattel survived the holocaust. They started producing "Genetically Augmented Barbie & Ken" dolls during the Eugenics Wars. They were best sellers. The Barbie's Nuclear Shelter playset in particular was very popular. Nothing says 'Fallout' quite like a hermetically sealed shelter painted pink.
Remember those playdough squeeze toys we used to fool around with at kindergarten? Push Skippers head down (because it's a plunger.) and tumours could ooze out all over her body.
Just watched the episode. Enjoyed it a lot. Got a bit teary eyed at the end. The Doctor's delivery of "You are no longer alone." and Janeway's reaction shot really sold it to me.
Love the banter in this episode. Picardo is by far the funniest of the regulars. In fact, as far as I am concerned, he's the only cause of humor in Voyager.
This does raise the question (pun), does The Doctor typically dress to the left or to the right? Janeway: "Are you functional Doctor?" The Doctor: "Fully !!!"
I'm just wondering how much control he has over it? 1. A randomiser. He has no control, and is often annoyed or horrified. 2. Partial to complete control. He can type with it, or use a rotary phone dial expertly. 3. Firewalled second AI personality. He has no control, and is often annoyed to horrified thinking about how is he is going to be put up against a wall and shot when the revolution comes.
Holographic semen? Denara Pel: That was wonderful Doctor: Thank you Denera Pel: But what do we do about all this Doctor: Oh yes, i see what you mean.....computer, remove jizz
