Did the recurring items ever annoy anyone else?

I also think it's funny how the characters on the various ST series seemed to drink only one beverage...ever. I'm sure we all have things we tend to drink, but I seriously doubt anybody drinks "Tea, earl grey, hot" everyday for literally years...

This made me hard

I can tell you that I have a french press coffee with one sugar and a pinch of half & half every morning.

But you're right. The writer's liked to define some characters by their favorite replicator beverages.

Surely, you exaggerate! They never did that with Counselor...no, wait... I mean Lieutenant Wor...wait, that's true, too.

I've been foiled again!

With Troi, you'd think she'd be a fatass considering she never ate anything but ice cream.

Perhaps a chocolate equivalent to synthehol? Same great taste without the added waist!

Wait, that would have given her a chance to bitch about how "real" chocolate is better. Maybe that's a bad idea.

Raktajino. Made with 100% ground Romulan!

It never bothered me. I always thought the little bits of continuity were a nice touch.

And I never noticed the technobabble getting into a "rut."

im sure someone mentioned this but for a while there it was Raktigino (sp) here and Racktigino there...

Bah, O'Brien's shoulder got more development than Harry Kim!

thats funny because I just watched an episode of DS9 where he was shot in the shoulder by a trill (or his entourage)

2309 Blood wine.

Heaven forbid the Klingons drink anything else.
And the only thing they eat is gagh.

Oh, especially on DS9 they drank a lot of raktojino (sp). Klingon coffee? What? Did you ever see a Klingon drinking it? No.

maybe they are like French Fries ;-)

Sorry for the triple post

I liked the recurring items. Cute. Reverse-ratcheting whatevers, jumja sticks, yamok sauce, references to waste processing, and Morn being such a chatterbox.

I think it was actually waste extraction.

Let's say it's an atom of Iron-56 which has a rare nuclear arrangement, causing the atom to have electron orbitals with unusual energies and shape. It may refuse to bond with some anions that iron-56 normally does, and bond with others that iron-56 normally doesn't. If purified, this metal might be more dense and have higher young's modulus than iron-56. Chemists would want to study this metal, and might not like calling it iron if it has fundamentally different chemistry. They might call it mithril.

Interesting theroy, i like it. Except for the name. Because mithril is obviously silver with similar properties.

But seriously, this could be a neat explanation, for what di-lithium or tri-lithium are supposed to be, namely two sets of elements which share the same deviation from the normal elements found on earth. So we could have diiron that is the same to iron as is dilithium to lithium.

Regarding technobabble, it certainly has it's fans. I once stumbled upon an opinion on an german forum, that Babylon 5 is not a Sci-Fi show because it does not indulge itself in sufficent amounts of technobabble.
