“Kind of..”
Except when she Pon Farr’d Spock’s brains out.
I had a feeling someone would mention the Pon Farr scene and I wonder if one can say it could also be a metaphor for Breastfeeding. Spock needed another Vulcan there to get through what he was going through. Savvik was the only choice. It was a stage of Vulcan development that Spock had to go through.
For no reason at all Commander Shelby's line "Data was available, I took him, we came" suddenly popped into my mind
A line that could easily be used in STAR TREK porn...
You can defeat the Borg with multiple techniques.
Yeah Baby
Couldn't we just lock them in the transporter's pattern buffer?
It had the virtue of never having been tried. -Kirk's logic
1) True but also 2) if they can block phasers they can certainly block whatever energy it takes to transport someone. So as with almost all things Borg it would work once.
Now why they didn't beam over with some really high yield photon torpedoey thing because the Borg "don't consider you a threat", I don't know. If you get one or two freebies (EVERY time!) you might as well make it a good one.
"Hmmmm. These non-Borg keep appearing on our ships." "Ignore them, they are no threat." "You know, the last time we said that they blew up a bunch of stuff." "This time it will be different." "We said that last time." "Resistance is futile." "Just by chance, did we save any records of adaptations we made from the last time we ran into these clowns? Like, to phaser fire or anything?" "Resistance is futile." "Technological distinctiveness my ass." "What?" "Nothing. Futile. Blah blah blah."
Spock's mother is human.
At the time, we thought that any woman of any species shall do, if a human lady could tame Sarek.
Then I found out about masturbation, and then I found out about Homosexuality.
I really was quite very young the first several times I saw that movie.
If Pon far ends at ejaculation, it's a very simple blunt process.
If Pon far ends at orgasm, Savaak would have to have taken care of her self while she took care of him.
If Pon far ends at conception, then either the presence of the same baby each time they banged was all the success criteria required for Spock to roll over and nap, or McCoy had to perform an abortion quickly before Spock's blood fever reared up again, and they might have had nearly half a dozen corpse babies left with the trash on Genesis.
It actually survives quite well looking back on it. The photography and music was superior to what came after.
Not really. I understand your meaning, however, in the Star Trek Whiz-Bang Supreme Charter (aka the TOS Bible), the show is described as an "Action-Adventure Drama" and must be such to hold an audience.
This remains true in 2023.
I think the show was pretty explicitly set up to be a quasi-anthology, just with a core set of characters. Which isn't surprising, because at the time it was on television, anthology shows were considered "peak TV" while serials had a negative connotation due to the association with the radio era.
My point is as soon as the 1970s when Trek was in syndication, Trek fans started taking the lore way more seriously than the writers themselves wanted us to take it. Or even character traits like Kirk's "womanizing." Kirk was not meant to be a horndog, so much as each story was written to be self-contained, and the anthology style dictated a love interest of the week in many episodes. Regardless, fandom's desires pretty quickly began to change Trek as a universe, because as soon as TAS we started seeing explicit "sequels" to storylines introduced in TOS (Spock's childhood, the return of tribbles, the return of Mudd, etc.)
With an ensemble show, you can alternate between which characters are in love this week. With older characters, you can bring back people from their pasts, especially if there are a lot of unknowns about their younger years.
Maybe. Or maybe he would have received his orders to transfer to Deep Space 9, considered resigning if he couldn't stay aboard the Enterprise, and then received a good kick in the pants heart-to-heart from Captain Picard where he tells Worf that it's time for him to leave the nest and stay on DS9 to keep growing as a leader.
Harry Kim did that one time, and it worked.
If you don't adapt and survive the "Beam over the Bomb" trick, I doubt you'll be able to spread the knowledge of how to defeat it.
So that seems to be a "Ace in the Pocket" type of move that would work.
That move only worked on a Borg probe, which destroyed it.
That won't work on a cube, or even a sphere.

Definitely not a pyramid.
