    When someone is shouting technobabble, the ship is looking at them like that, with deep weariness. “Someone please give me a shot of B12 and a sandwich or somethin, we are so far from a stardock…”

      “Someone please give me a shot of B12 and a sandwich or somethin, we are so far from a stardock…”

      in Majel Barrett’s voice, of course

        Lwaxana Troi: “Someone please give me a shot of B12 and a sandwich or something, we are so far from a stardock.”

        When the computer starts getting existential the voice switches to the Cardassian one from Terok Nor DS9.

    Is it just me or does TNG do a good job avoiding this trope, generally? I really love in the momentum escape from that asteroid field trap how Picard takes Geordis word that his power use is essential and doesn’t make demands

      You are probably right. There was plenty of “technobable trope” solutions in TNG, but less “MORE POWER” than most.

      I liked how in Voyager The Captain told the chief engineer to make something happen in half the estimate she gave and the engineer replied “No. If I say it’s going to take 3 days, then that’s how long we need. I don’t fluff my estimates”.

    What the hell was the original political comic? Because that’s definitely Obama.

      That’s a good question. I have no idea.
