Toilet humor is childish, but I couldn't resist. Is Qapla' acceptable in lieu of merde?

Perhaps the Nickelodeon series will skew toward really young children?
Many Star Trek fans aren't that into that degree of subtlety where it comes to allegory. They are not all that accustomed to the concept of the unreliable narrator.
You're confusing power projection with necessity. Why did Europeans colonize remote areas of the world with a handful of colonist? To make them look good. That's why the plot of STWok doesn't make sense. Why would a well organized utopia need something as desperate as the Genesis Device unless it really was a weapon (Starfleet did fund it)
Specifically, Hugh said these were the only Romulans to be assimilated that he personally knew of - a get-out clause for the writers there, especially given how long it has been since Hugh left the Collective.
Because the UFP was not Utopia
Me, I think paradise is a fairly subjective concept. Depends a lot on whose eyes you are looking through and what you are comparing it with.
Huh? "Make them look good."????
Not sure what a "well organized utopia" has to do with make more planets we can live on.
Plus, as I keep harping, TOS never said the Federation was a utopia. That was more of a TNG thing. Heck, judging from all those squabbling diplomats in "Journey to Babel" the UFP wasn't even all that well organized.
If anything, TOS was profoundly skeptical of utopias, which usually turned out to have a fly in the ointment: alien spores, an insane computer, a delusional mad scientist, toxic fruit, etc.
As Kirk used to state, "Maybe we're not meant for Paradise."
Do you really want to see a scene with someone talking to Picard while he's sitting on the toilet taking a dump?
Or maybe Picard walks in on Riker doing the same.
I don't know, kind of seemed it did.
Because They can?
As far as Raffi technically not starving (and therefore technically not being poor to preserve TNG's lines that poverty was eradicated), we do know that Dahj's replicator menu was described as "tragic". I can only wonder what Raffi's replicator menu was limited to.
I imagine it's not so much what the software can do, as to how much actual physical materials one has to make stuff.
Replicators don't make chit outta thin air, one has to have a supply of basic materials on hand for the machine to work with.
That is probably the limiting factor for most less fortunate folks.
Yeah and pass gas as well, cos if its not on screen it is not canon that humans need to take a leak and break wind.
