100 Things that you learned from Enterprise..

64. Crewmen running through the corridors in their underwear is a normal occurance, and it's not polite to stare.
You've never lived in a military barracks, have you? Perhaps not quite as bad as a college dormitory --- but close. :wtf:

On second thought ... perhaps worse. :censored:
 
I don't think they said he was the first, wasn't it third?

Could have been the third. I thought he was the first. I'm pulling this info from screencaps someone posted YEARS ago on these boards of the Defiant's computer bank entry for Hoshi and Archer from the episode "In a Mirror, Darkly"
 
58. What happens on Risa stays on Risa. Unless you want to tell the rest of the crew the chief engineer and chief security officer were duped, baited, lured into a private space, and robbed/disrobed by two male aliens posing as females.
 
57. Apparently West Point still exists as a military school in the 22nd century. And here I thought that Starfleet Academy was the place to be!

Which episode and season? I think I missed them being mugged.

I have no problem with this. It's totally stupid that canon says Starfleet Headquarters, Academy, and construction shipyards are all co-located in San Francisco. The headquarters should be someplace relatively close to the seat of government. Don't tell me, let me guess: the United Federation of Planets senate house and presidential office are also in San Francisco. But Starfleet is simple too big to have the only officer's school be one single campus, especially if you subscribe to the Roddenberry concept that everyone in Starfleet are officers, that there are no enlisted personnel. Personally, I don't buy any of it. Have you ever been to San Francisco? There's no place to grow the city. There's simply not enough room to build all those things there.
 
During TNG the names of some 22nd century starships were displayed on screen and some of those began with "HMS."

Britain's Royal Navy had it's own starships.

There's no place to grow the city.
Of course San Fransisco can grow. Apparently Starfleet is already across the straits into Marin county, there are eight counties surrounding San Fransisco Bay and in the future they all could be "San Fransisco." Plus there's the old idea that a large portion of current San Fransisco is the Academy.

I find it odd that you'd still need a Navy let alone the Royal Navy in the 24th Century
 
55. (there were two 64's) Heaping on the Trek lore/fanwank for an entire season is not enough to save your show.

Starfleet is basically "the Navy."

In the 22nd century (and later) it makes sense to me that many nations on Earth would have their own civilian and military starships. just as today they have ocean-going ships.

But would they still have a need for ocean based navies? Reed said he had family serviing on Navy ships and mentions a submarine.
 
Today what exists below the ocean's surface (except for spots) is largely unknown. A century and half from now they might still be filling in gaps of knowledge.

The ships his family served on could have been spacecraft and starships. Also, our's isn't the only world with oceans.

OK.

54. Apart from dealing with various threats in outer space, Earth also has to deal with strange incursions from beneath its own oceans. Why else would they need a navy? But these have not (yet) been examined on Star Trek, because Gene Roddenberry was notoriously prone to seasickness.

Two Days and Two Nights, from season 1. A weak episode, but a couple of good moments.

Oh that one.. I sort of vaguely remember it but don't remember the mugging.
 
53. Have Connor Trinneer running around in just his skivvies and I'd watch, regardless of the plot holes about contact with the Ferengi, awful lines and cringy so-called humour.
