    Porthos was very well behaved. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Dr. Phlox’s menagerie, though?

      I mean he still had to go sometimes. And there’s no grass or trees on the ship.

        Porthos had puppy pads!

          And you think Archer’s gonna clean those up himself? No way, he gets an ensign to do it. Or maybe a MACO.

            Naw. Tucker volunteers.

            (he later transports the remnants onto Ambassador Sovol’s ship. every chance he can.)

    Sure, that isn’t the greatest job, but you get to nearly die on a starship every week!

      I wonder if every vessel is as exciting to serve on as the series’ stars. Is there a mundane cargo hauler out there fighting off Romulans every week? Is a guy using his personal ship as an Uber going to have to deal with Q teleporting him to Earth’s medieval period for shits and grins?

        That’s basically how Lower Decks started.

        Mandatory copypasta:

        Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.
