I've always wondered about Data's simulated breathing. He takes sharp, short breaths before speaking despite obviously not needing oxygen. I like to think that he was programmed this way to appear more human, but it's not quite authentic.

You're right! From Memory Alpha: "His respiratory system helped to maintain thermal control of his internal systems."
I'm still going to keep my theory as my own head cannon haha, I suppose both could be true

Balenciaga... wait a second. Aren't those the people who put little children in bondage themed rooms?
What method did Picard use to get Kirk's corpse up to the top of that rock on Veridian III? Did he throw him over his shoulder or drag him across the ground by his hands/feet?
He went back into the Nexus to before Kirk died and made him climb up the rock to get killed there instead.
Actually, you know what I changed my mind and I actually watched that DS9 one like a dozen times. I think the DS9 works so well for me because it kinda feels like some actual satirical universe, like the film "Brazil." The best part is that Dukat seems like the only sane man in this universe.
Data is the ultimate heatsink.
To be fair, the Borg are the ultimate liquid coolers what with all them big fancy hoses and things... shame we never saw any of them leak. Even for "Doctor Who" and its teensy weeny tiny budget in 1984, they managed to show a Cyberman having some hoses being cut and "go-figure green" coolant messing up the floor - followed by cast and crew slipping on it after the director announced "CUT!!"...
Which makes me wonder why they have gravity, or at least full-acceleration gravity, in cargo areas.
Good point. IRL reason is, of course, budget. But if gravity is provided by devices set into the deck plates (Sisko called it a gravity net), no reason they couldn't be turned to a lower setting. I guess we file that one with "why doesn't the holodeck immediately shut down when the safeties fail?"
Wasn't Zordon and Alpha there all along? Lore was a subtenant with his Borg gang?
Was prob only a torso so the weight was less!
I was watching Parallels the other day and Worf asks Troi to be officially responsible for Alexander if something happens to him. He uses the Klingon term for this relationship.
Then I started thinking, this must happen a lot in Klingon society. Warriors would need a system in place after they died in glorious battle. Who do you suppose raises them? Their house? Individually named people? Did Worf have somebody he was supposed to go to but just never made it?
P.S. I love Worf’s human parents so much I’m glad he ended up with them :-)

I just watched Deja Q and loved the shot of the Enterprise entering the atmosphere on fire. Pretty cool for 1989/1990. The others visual effects in that episode were nice too.
I wonder... given that the Kobali on Voyager reproduce themselves by reviving the dead of other races (with at least some awareness of who they were), are there any peoples around them who hand their dead over to them, hoping to give their loved ones a second chance at life (kind of like the cryo-sleepers in "The Neutral Zone").
I've never seen that episode but that sounds horrendous. Also how did these guys get started? What if they found that asteroid of dead bodies in "Emanations"?
The Brandeis-Bardin Institute in Simi Valley, CA has turned up a lot of TV/Movies over the years.

STO said their species became sterile due to a genetic engineering accident. No info on how they decided to reanimate dead people, or gained the ability. But I guess that since Voyager buries its dead in space, they could find any dead VOY character who wasn't vaporized (Seska? Suder? Was Carey vaporized? I don't remember).
In STO, it was revealed that they found Harry's corpse from "Deadlock", so Harry had a Kobali "twin".
