The Agony Booth, Oh My...

[Spock's Barber]

Imagine you have access to the Agony Booth. What fictional or real person would you like to see inside this interesting device?

I can think of one of my ex-bosses that I would love to see squirming like Chekov did in the Agony Booth. Full duration!

 

[Captain Rob]

I'd go with the person that fired me from my last job. Because he outsourced my responsibilities. And he was so chicken, he had someone else do it.
In universe, I'd go with the lovely T'Pring. A session just long enough to teach her a lesson for screwing with Mr Spock.

 

[Spock's Barber]

In the ST galaxy, I would dump the Squire of Gothos in there just to stop him from whining and crying. Zap!

 

[Jedi_Master]

I don't wish that kind of pain on anyone.... well except on Mondays.

 

[BillJ]

Picard for not using the computer virus on the Borg in "I, Borg".

Full duration.

Genocide ain't cool man

BillJ gets an hour in the booth.

I agree with BillJ. The Borg, as depicted up until then, were Space Nazis Squared with absolutely NO redeeming qualities. It was beyond idiotic for Picard not to ice them.

 

[Kor]

The Borg aren't a species, they are an artificial abomination. Kirk would have shut them down without hesitation.

[Jedi_Master]

Yep... more customers for the agony booth.

Imagine you have access to the Agony Booth.

You mean a girlfriend?

Since the Borg are an amalgamation of other species, it really wouldn't be genocide.

 

[Jedi_Master]

I would consider the Borg their own species. They fit all the requirements.

Plus there's that little niggly detail that the virus may not have worked. Oops.

I consider the Borg on par with a virus that preys on humanoid bodies for its survival.

Virus may not have worked. But at least Picard doesn't look like a chump at the end of the day.

 

[Jedi_Master]

Meh. It was TNG man... they couldn't have the Utopian Hippies slaughtering billions and billions of robopeople.
That wouldn't honor Gene's Vision™!

Then they shouldn't have made it sound full proof. There should have been some debate whether the virus would've actually work. The way it is presented in the episode makes Picard look really bad.

 

[Kor]

Yes, there's a chance that it might not work, so just throw up your hands and don't even try it at all in the first place. That's Picard, all right.

Tbh I think its one of Picard's best moments. Even though he had suffered so greatly at the hands of the Borg, he wouldn't cross that line. Bravo for him.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Picard was a wuss in that instance.

I don't. And I'm the type that hates to harm a housefly.

His inaction nearly gave the Alpha Quadrant to the Borg.

 

[Jedi_Master]

But the Borg didn't take the Alpha Quadrant - and we didn't miss out on Seven of Nine. Win - win.
