The Idiotic Questions Thread

Who are the blue aliens? Are they the same race that appear in other Star Trek serials from TOS, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise?
 
Many times, but since Crusher has the ability to wipe out people's memories, Jean-Luc knows absolutely nothing about it.

Date rape! :devil:

ok, next bleedingly stupid question: Does every officer need to take a Shakespeare Appreciation Class at the Academy?
Sure, what's wrong with that? :confused:

Only that "appreciating Shakespeare" has become one of those pretentious things people claim so that they come across as being cultured and refined.

And besides, Marlowe wrote better dramas, while Moliere wrote better comedies. The thing I've always wondered is why, if Jean-Luc Picard is French, does he speak with an English accent?

Before the Revolution, it was noted by Madame deFarge (played by Cloris Leachman) that the French were so poor, they didn't even have a language - just this stupid accent!

So the reason behind Picard's English accent is that France just got poorer and poorer, until eventually they sold their accents and bought some cheap English replacements.

OK. That sounds fair enough, even though, as a French Major, I know that any self-respecting Frenchman (or woman) would rather be tortured than lose his/her accent. I know...maybe it was the invention of sythehol that did it...no longer able to spend his entire day drunk, maybe he was driven English at the prospect of endless sobriety. :cool:
 
Why do some people and websites think Miles O'Brien was from Killarney, when in one episode he mentions his parents in Dublin.

(BTW come to Killarney next summer.)

Are Tellerites kosher?

How good is Captain Archer with a bow and arrow?

How come Dr. Soong didn't build android hookers?

No, but they do have a chewy, bloodwine centre.
Do Jem Hadar have penises?
Nope, they're all pussies.
Are Tellerites kosher?
Of course, they'd never eat a Jew.
How good is Captain Archer with a bow and arrow?
About as good as Picard is at picking his nose.
How come Dr. Soong didn't build android hookers?
You mean, like, little Asian boy-droids? Cause there's plenty of them already cluttering up the universe.
