I mean, people come up with random catch phrases all the time.

To the point where when you meet someone you go up to them and say, "So what's your catch phrase?! You gonna say it?!"

You anticipate having one, it makes you nervous and you have to come up with one to statisfy friends and subordinates?

People have "catch phrases" but we don't make it a societal thing.

The shows are too much pointing it out and going "Look! Look! Catch phrase! Catch Phrase! Squee with delight!"

Can't it just be there without drawing a big circle around it and smashing our face into it?

No worse than my favorite animal, or personal life quote.

Maybe...who knows? Strikes me as just something fun to do, relatively innocuous and harmless.

Everyone we have ever seen discussing having a command catchphrase has been a longstanding close associate of the person being asked. None of them had just met the commanding officer in question.
 
It's been a thing since TNG... :shrug:

I also wonder what Shaw's catch phrase was. :lol:

"Go ..."

Almost caught up! :D

This to me sounds like it's biologically growing a replacement from a standard template modified according to the patient's DNA to ensure a perfect tissue match.
It literally states they replicated an entirely new healthy organ...
Mac is right. Actually the episode says:
"It reads the DNA coding of damaged organs, translates that into a specific set of replicant instructions and then begins to grow a replacement."
"Tissue growth proceeding at anticipated rates."

It has just occurred to me how annoying it is that the modern writers think that something heavier than a cruise liner can perform hairpin turns just because it is in space.
Data at the ops helm and more energy available cause only one deck needs life support etc ;)

This all reminded me of the scenes with the runabout flying around inside the Defiant computer conduits in one Little Ship.
So PIC ends with One Little D :D

The Borg Diamond ship at the end of Endgame had adapted to the neuroleptic virus, btw. I just remembered. I think that it wanted to assimilate Voyager… with nano probes.
Do you mean the sphere? We only found out what happened inside in EF2, which unfortunately isn't part of the official story :(

Yes it does, because the possibility exists. Just like how people, organizations, buildings, etc., can exist in various timelines, so can particular designs like the Enterprise-J we saw. All we know is that she won't have to fight at Procyon V in the regular timeline, but there's nothing to suggest the events leading to her design doesn't happen anyway.
Evidence for that is how similar many ships, props, interiors, and characters are in the Mirror universe, and that the 280000 Ds from Parallels all looked very similar, and no matter where Worf switched to, people, rooms, uniforms, were still very similar as well. Spock said time flows like rivers. That was also one explanation for the same people ending up on the Enterprise in the Kelvin timeline - somehow similar things can happen in different universes. So there's more reason for a very similar J (Congo upgrade please!) to exist than for it not to exist.

Saw this posted on Instagram, basically a reverse Game of Thrones take on the show lol.

S2 was much worse than 1 though :D

I know this would produce howls of gnashing teeth and ripped shirts, but it would be neat if there was an opportunity to subtly put one in the background of spacedock scenes in TVH or TUC
Ripped shirts are so on brand though.
All those scenes simply had Constells behind the spacedock at that moment ;)

Personally, I consider any prop used on screen to be canon, hence I also consider the full biography of Hoshi and Archer to be canon, even if only a part if it was read. Of course that brings up the issue of pranks but that is a whole new discussion.
All those TNG labels were Q's work ;)

Did anyone else think on their first viewing Spacedock was destroyed and they built a new one? I did, but it's actually the same. It was just heavily damaged.
Perhaps the explosions we saw were mostly on the shields and not the hull...?

I’m pretty sure Spacedock is more elaborate than a small shuttle
Most of it is just an empty shell though. Shroomy bag of mostly water space.

Sounds like cars and trucks these days.
Planned obsolescence will still exist in the future? :crazy: :D
I think Matalas said that the flagships have such a rough life that they end up very short-lived. Ships that see less action last much longer.

It's gotta be:

"Set course at warp factor six. Comply!"
