What is up with all the flamethrowers?

[nic3636]

The real question is how can they can build on this flame thrower experience. A strobe light perhaps? Maybe a smoke machine? Colored sparks? Watching a couple episodes of Power Rangers might provide the right inspiration.

Maybe we can don our 3D glasses and have the flames shoot directly into our eyeballs.

Meh, I want to feel the heat. Those flames were not nearly big enough. Barely noticed them.

Cast member to be incinerated?

But the Borg controlled Decks 26 up to 11 after Picard told Lily there were 24 decks, so really the deck count on the Enterprise-E is all over the place!

Starfleet used to have a handle on that, but one by one they lost all their deckers.

The bridge consoles must be powered by propane.

Gah!

The next “Trek Tech” topic will be “New Ways to show how dangerous the situation is on the bridge”. We have:
- Exploding consoles
- Various booms and straining sounds
- Rocks in ceiling
- Gravity loss
- Flame throwers

What is missing?
- Knives shoot out of the wall at crew
- Forget rocks, actual meteor type punctures (credit to Expanse)
- Cetacean Ops floods the bridge

etc.

A golden idol that you have to judge the mass of using a bag of sand to access the helm. Otherwise there's a huge perfectly spherical stone behind the doors where the turboshaft used to be.

"Welcome to Discovery, home of the flame-grilled red shirt burger. Can I -- HARD TO PORT! -- excuse me. Can I take your order?"

I really don't care. Star Trek has always been ridiculous with rocks shooting out of consoles in the shows. People harp on the weirdest things.

You know what's even weirder? Going to the effort to tell people they're fools for wasting their effort talking about something.

Is rocks from the ceiling a new figure of speech around here? Swear I’ve never heard that one before and it’s come up a bunch in this thread.

And, do ppl mean real rocks? Or just debris, which I get. I miss a lot I never notice till reading here, so if actual rocks have come tumbling down, I wouldn’t be surprised I missed em.

- SNAKES ON THE BRIDGE: venomous snakes pour out of ceiling panels.

- Programmable matter malfunctions, become fists that punch crew from the consoles.

- Blizzards, tornadoes, lightning: weather controls malfunction.

Seriously though, the bridge flamethrowers make perfect sense. It's merely that programmable matter is the galaxies most flammable substance. That's why you can't make the whole ship out of it, the wrong phaser hit and the whole thing will suddenly turn into fire.

I’ll be darned. Rocks fall out of the ceiling.

I think I’ve been “here” 14 years and never heard of this before.

Inconsolable consoles touch back! They've had it getting touched all the time, now they form hands and fingers to touch you!

Gives whole new meaning to those "watch for rocks" signs.
