The power of Star Trek

beautiful. is the top mid the Bajoran resistance?

It is, yes

Janeway on Tuvix: "There's two people in there and I don't like it."

I want to see the chaos Janeway solution.
Dilemma: Tuvix doesn't want to die. He can do both Neelix's and Tuvok's jobs, but he simply doesn't have time for both, and Janeway is in a survival situation. She needs them both.
Solution? Just Tom Riker Tuvix! We'll just have two Tuvixes!
Though honestly, this comic is genuinely beautiful, a real love letter to TNG/DS9/VGR era Trek.
- Or split the difference and just kill neelix.
- They should've Riker'd him and then de-Tuvix'd one of the copies. Then they'd have one of each!

The Geordi/Data one does kinda bring up a good point though. Data is a graduate of Starfleet Academy, put in his time and rose up the ranks to the point of being the 2nd officer and CSO of the flagship. Yet the first episode of the series he's shown to be naive to most human interactions, most basic idioms and turns of phrase.

This had been posted a few times on r/DI, but a good working theory is that at the academy he never tried to fit in or make friends and simply did the work. In all his postings he never attempted to go above and beyond, but just did his job and what was expected of him, and some of his promotions may have been simply *you've been an ensign for 4 years, so you kinda have to get promoted now. It was Picard who saw his uniqueness and potential, and pushed Data to think for himself to help him grow, and as such the other exceptional crew members on the flagship actually took the time to get to know him and become his friend.

But I'd love to hear other theories!

Maybe the academy is just a terrible educational institution. Basically all we see of it is weird mind games, like simulated terrorist attacks and tests you automatically fail.. Maybe Picard thought of the gardener as a mentor because he was the only adult there not fucking with him.

  I can definitely see how those things are extremely useful. Not everyone is going to be within the relatively save confines of ESD or stationed on a core planet. You're out in unexplored space on your own with no backup and will encounter some of the most absurdly effed-up races/beings/giant green space hands.

It’s Picard and arguably LaForge, who saw his potential.
But don’t let Kim hear about those promotions!

And then look a new lifeform in the eye and murder it

Janeway

The new lifeform looks at you and murders you
Noway

I love the art.
I love the message.
The text was a little difficult to actually read though. My brain kept tripping over a bunch of those letters.

Overall, excellent!

The only one little ( really just so small ) nitpick i have, is that Picard looks much older than he was in that first panel.

Still waiting for that. My friends say they see me and then just use me and throw me away whenever I don't matter anymore. It's been a rough week finding out my best friend and roommate had been just using me for months. Didn't care about the things I cared about like they pretended. Just wanted to use me.

Where is my Geordi?

I have nothing to add, just to say that I wish you peace.
Oh, and that your ex-bestie gets an incurable case of crotch rot that burns with the fire of a thousand suns. That too.
- I just wanna forget about them to be honest. Like they left stuff to last second constantly and routinely fucked me over financially, having to ask friends to cover and ruining myself in the process in other ways. They then did it again last week, forcing me to magic up $700 to cover their half of rent too and now have to find another roommate. I thought I was broke before but nooooooooooope. I just wanna cry.
:(
Sorry to hear this. Hope you find your Geordi soon, there are good people interspersed among the hooman Ferengi out there.

Janeway wasn't very respectful of what Seven of Nine wanted. Watching Seven of Nine go along with what Janeway told her to be reminded me of my parents making me get a haircut because they thought I was a boy

I try to explain to people why star trek is not just boring people saying boring things in a boring looking space cockpit for hours and hours on end, I think this picture explains it very well, nice job!

I just say that people who are interested in philosophy, ethics and humanism and are open to SciFi will most likely like Star Trek.
- im into stems, thats why. i used to binge on space-base documentaries, plus other docs in the early 2000s(cable). the most ignorant seems to be more focused on people who are gymbros(certain demographics/military and profit-making industries.
  for some reason star wars just doesnt have the same attraction as trek is, im guessing its more drama(SW) vs "technobabble, realistic scientific discovery development in the future(even though some concepts maybe impossible)
theres a saying(dont know where it came from), if a person think everything/or alot of things are boring then the person saying is a boring person.

This reminds me of that Enterprise episode where they were trapped in a cave with the rock people.

"Hello. I see you. I know there's a person in there."

Sometimes when you trip balls you see imaginary rock people in caves. I don't judge.
I don't remember this episode.
- It's Enterprise S1E4 "Strange New World". Unless they mean S1E6 "Terra Nova". Both those have cave people but episode 4 is the one where they're stuck in the cave and hallucinate rock people.

The way this is drawn is simply adorable!

That is the cutest Akira-class starship I’ve ever seen.

This is wonderful. 🖖

Dunno why but this brings a tear to my eye today. Maybe it’s because news and especially social media is so inundated with hate, prejudice and aggressive ignorance for the last several days that I think I’ve hit my limit and just wish for even a partial simile of the Star Trek utopia. So tired of the need for so many people to hurt others. Man, what a drag…just need some hope.

And sometimes, just sometimes... it's whatever the fuck was going on in Move Along Home.

May all your chaps be alamaraine
