Contest: ENTER DS9 CapCon 162: Scientific Progress Goes Boink?

[Smellincoffee]

Welcome back everyone! Tomorrow is April 1st, you know what that means: EASTER THEME! Woo! Bring on the bunnies and chocolate. Admittedly, chocolate pics would be easier to find among the TNG screencaps, but I'll do what I can. First up, last week's winners, and I'll dispense with the "Ensembled Greatness" lead because we're image heavy as it is.

Nerys Myk's "Reflex"

KIRA: Look. I keep telling you. Do not sneak up behind me.

tharpdevenport's "Satoru Iwata's Revenge"

Dax: "...and so five hours later Julian, playing Link, finally found me in the castle and I thought the stupid holodeck program was over, but then it restarts and saying I -- the princess -- was in another castle! He made me go through it again!"
Kira: "I thought that was how Mario Bros. ended."
Dax: "Believe me -- he doesn't care."

Jirinpanthosa's "When Clueless Writers Strike"

KRA: You disgusting troll! Don't you understand it's not true libertarian capitalism if the head of state is capable of just showing up and seizing your business, or if there is an economic authority that can seize all your assets just for failing to be sufficiently cruel to your employees? And how can you not understand that betraying all your customers is sacrificing long term profitability for a short term thrill? Your entire society is a SHAM, Quark! Your obsession with profit sabotages that very profit! You are a dictatorship where those favored by the dictator justify their wealth by iconifying free enterprise!
QUARK: Psht, that's what a FEMALE would think.

Leviathan's "Double Play"

Bashir: Worst. Threesome. Ever. Nothing could be worse than this....

Bashir: ....I stand corrected.


Nerys Myk's "Swab, Stick, Rinse, Repeat"

BASHIR: Next!!!!! Let's keep the line moving people. I gotta date with the Alamo in 20 minutes.


Next up, visions of bunnies and such..

[JirinPanthosa]

SHELDON: My Star Trek VR simulator is finally complete! Just press that button that looks like a broken image sign, and we're in.
LEONARD: You're not going to put sentient duplicates of all of us in here and torture them like that guy in Black Mirror, are you?
SHELDON: Umm...no?

 

[Herbert]

I see you!

 

[Timewalker]

The photos are all blank.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

The photos are all blank.

Right after he posted them it was Trek themed pictures from Big Bang Theory (In classic April Fools Day caption contest tradition). Wherever he linked them from must be blocked.

 

[Qonundrum]

I see you!

I (need to) see Dr Freud... or Picasso.

 

[Smellincoffee]

The photos are all blank.

Weird! They're from my google images account. I'll see if I can find an alternative quicklike.

Edit: Okay, I'm trying from imgur now.

 

[tharpdevenport]

"Detecting a boner..."

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Raj: If I am not going to enjoy linear procreation, I'm going to use this device to create a hole in space where past, present and future don't exist.
Leonard: You can't run away. You have to take responsibility for your actions.
Raj: The way I see it is that I am escaping aggressive, adversarial jocks who taunt me for knowing nothing about sports, like baseball.
Howard: What are you going to do? Are you going to keep in touch?
Raj: I'm bringing my collection of classic Science Fiction novels, Asimov, Rossof, Heinlein and Russell. And I can get messages to you through these orbs I've constructed.
Sheldon: Those aren't orbs. Orbs are spherical. Those look like hourglases. They aren't spherical.

 

[Timewalker]

Weird! They're from my google images account. I'll see if I can find an alternative quicklike.

Edit: Okay, I'm trying from imgur now.

I still can't see them.

 

[tharpdevenport]

There's also postimages.org

From your google account causes it to try and place an account.google.com cookie on the computer, which I block.

 

[Mr Soak]

Data: Fascinating. Earth in the 21st Century has more advanced technology than we do, in the 24th Century.

Raj: you guys do realise that this has nothing to do with Star Trek?

Sheldon: I enjoyed Brent’s crazy scientist in Independence Day better than Wil’s student character in Toy Soldiers.
*stare*
Sheldon: What? There’s more to actors’ careers than Star Trek.
*stare*

 

[Smellincoffee]

I still can't see them.

Have you tried a different browser to see if it's a cache issue, anything like that? I've tried on a browser where I'm not logged into Trekbbs, imgur, or Google and they're loading fine. :-/

What does it look like to others?

 

[Smellincoffee]

Raj: What are you doing?
Sheldon: Checking for Gorn.
Raj: Sheldon, this is Earth. We're not actually on Cestus Three.
Sheldon: (Sheldonlaugh)
Raj: What, you think we're actually on Cestus Three? This is the interstate, for -
Sheldon: Kirk didn't fight the Gorn on Cestus Three, he and the Gorn captain were removed to another planet!
Raj: I do not deserve to wear this uniform.
Sheldon: No. No you do not.

Raj: All I ask is that you bring back Weena.
Howard: So you can show her your w-
Leonard: HOWARD!
Howard: What? God, since you started hanging out with girls you're a total buzzkill.

Biker: A cyborg, a...goat-man, and a old fart walk into a bar. We workin' on a joke?

Sheldon: Wheaton, I want to talk to you about the book Masters of Doom. IT was LADEN with inaccuracies.
Wheaton: Sheldon, I read the book out loud. For money. I didn't write it.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

MEDICAL OFFICER: I'm detecting high stereotype levels. Subject is what non-nerds think a nerd is.

LIEUTENANT: We have arrived at a planet previously visited by the Enterprise. Captain Kirk observed that the planet had based their civilization on human mafia literature. Now it seems they have abandoned that pursuit and based it entirely on the human middle ages.

WORF: I grow tired of this sitcom holoprogram! How do we escape?
DATA: Controls are not responding. We must get to the end of the story to end the program.
WORF: How do we do that?
DATA: We must both get together with the woman who has been our friend for years but with whom we have had sexual tension.
WORF: I must court a nerdy human female?
DATA: It appears so. Safeties are offline, but I get a weird feeling that doesn't matter for this program.

DAVID: Thanks for everything. Now I can go back in time, prevent the Connors from winning the lottery and prevent Dan from having his heart attack!

BORG: I really should be assimilating people. But nah. I'm just going to have another coffee. Screw the collective. Resistance is boring.

NOONIEN SOONG'S ANCESTOR: What? AI is the future, if we have to spy on people to advance the cause, so be it.
WESLEY: Yeah, I'm from the future, AI is definitely the future. Quit whining, you knew your Facebook posts weren't private.

 

[Herbert]

Faux Data: Data to Enterprise. We have found the junk in the trunk.

 

[Triskelion]

Amy: He's in your spot, Jim.
Sheldon: I love you.

Sheldon: Repent, Harlequin!
Wolowitz: Said the Tick Tock Man.
Leonard: I hope many such journeys aren't possible.
Kuthrapali: I have no Harlan Ellison pun.
Wolowitz: And you must scream?
Kuthrapali: I thought you were told to repent.

Sheldon: According to the Starfleet officers' survival manual, we have to preserve our urine.
Wolowitz: But first, according to the Jewish survival manual, we would have to find a rabbi to make it kosher.
Sheldon: I keep forgetting Worf had a Jewish mother.
Wolowitz: Pain sticks were inwented by a little old lady from Leningrad.

Kuthrapali: Ok gents, we can go to any point in past or future history. Where shall it be?
Leonard: To the Renaissance?
Wolowitz: The year 3000?
Sheldon: I'm setting it to five minutes ago so you can remember to wipe your feet before you come in.
Leonard: The Spanish Inquisition it is.

Dude in Booth: I get Captain Stubing and the Wolfman, but what are you, some kind of Cylon?
Wolowitz: At least tell me you are referring to the BSG reboot and not the original 1978 series.
Dude in Booth: There was a reboot? Did it have Boxey? Are you Boxey?
Wolowitz: NO I'M NOT BOXEY!!! I am a Borg, my designation is Nine of Thirteen.
Dude in Booth: What, is that some kind of fan chapter?
Wolowitz: It's my name in the Borg Collective. Nine of Thirteen, Primary Adjutant to Unimatrix One Zero.
Dude in Booth: If you're part of a collective why do you use a personal pronoun?
Wolowitz: ..................I was just explaining --
Dude in Booth: Respect the thematic motif, s'all I'm saying, Boxey.

Sheldon: If Data's positronic brain has a type R phase discriminating amplifier, how did Noonien Soong solve the dipolar fractionation problem--did he use a quantum entanglement attenuator or a soda pop tab?
Brent & Will: ..........................................................
Sheldon: Never mind, I'll just ask LeVar. He was just an engineer but at least his resume actually passed through the Starfleet HR bots. Without a special Captain's dispensation.
Brent: Hey! Data earned his commission through merit, not any special dispensation!
Will: Try plexing, Brent.
Sheldon: Ok then tell me how Soong solved the dipolar fractionation problem. Quantum entanglement attenuator or pop tab?
Brent: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
Sheldon: Skin of Evil, season one, episode twenty-three.
Will: Godfather III.
Sheldon: Shakaree? That was V. Respect the franchise, Will.
Brent: Try plexing, Will.

 

[Qonundrum]

Penny (offscreen): "Even I know that the women's costumes in the old Star Trek didn't have leggings that dark."
Sheldon: "She's right, you know."
Amy: "Hey. Do you want me to continue scanning for any STDs I may have given you or shall I go change?"

Leonard: "We live in a great place, Our car breaks down and lots of people offered to help us."
Howard: "Er, no. That's why we had to walk all the way here. The hot dry air at Vasquez Rocks has made you see mirage after mirage. I was seeing the Swedish Bikini Team."

 

[Qonundrum]

...the day the guys went to the 19th century casino...

 

[Mr Soak]

Amy: The nerdgasm is strong in this one.

Sheldon: Wrong franchise.

Patron: Meh, as a walk of shame, it doesn't come close to Cersei Lannister's.
