Sir, the Cardassians left another trap - an exponentially replicating series of Wesley Crushers on the holodeck. But I can't make heads not tails of it
William Hernandez
>just build an entirely new fleet with the entirely same design with one single shipyard (that was destroyed) lol
>finances and manpower? lol what are those
Jose Cook
I for one welcome our dubsminion overlords
Juan Murphy
>to replace the entire fleet that was apparently destroyed with that shipyard
>and not out on various different assignments
>protecting the federation's borders? exploring the galaxy? why do that?
Connor Martinez
couldn't you just mine stars for their hydrogen and then use those protons, neutrons, and electrons to assemble other elements?
Jacob Brooks
with what ships lol they were all destroyed lololololol
do you see how this is dumb now
Jack Rodriguez
Why do these not!-Reapers need a beacon to protect fellow synthetics? If they're so advanced, why don't they just detect that there are synthetic life forms in trouble and burninate everything
Gabriel Sanders
Wait a minute
If all the ships were destroyed, how did they gather the materials in one place to build new ships?
WAIT A MINUTE
IF ALL THE SHIPS WERE DESTROYED, HOW COME THE FEDERATION'S ENEMIES DIDN'T JUST ROLL IN AND SHANK THEM?
Oliver Peterson
I've always assumed that it's still more economical to produce things "normally", than just zapping everything out of thin air, because the latter one needs lots of energy and probably some sort of base building blocks too.
Ian Campbell
Were the Romulans really the bad guys for wanting to kill 20 odd robots to save the Galaxy?
Jaxon Ramirez
Dyson spheres are way out of the federations power level.
Cameron Ward
I'm not talking about Dyson spheres. I mean literally just going in and grabbing it.
Or if they don't have anything to withstand the heat/gravity, mine a gas giant.
Parker Hernandez
>Mine stars for hydrogen
The energy required to make anything achieve escape velocity from a star would be ridiculous. It'd be like pulling a bucket up from the bottom of the ocean. Better to find small asteroids/moons
Samuel Hill
>Or if they don't have anything to withstand the heat/gravity, mine a gas giant.
Why don't they - ok get this - like why don't they, why don't they just beam away the elements from the sun?
Aaron Ortiz
>umm, well, obviously not ALL of them were destroyed (despite what the creators and show told you) at least SOME of them had to be out there protecting the Federation. Seriously, don't be obtuse. The idea they could all be destroyed at one place is outright dumb (which is exactly what Kira stressed about making smaller militia parties spread out rather than hosting everything in one spot to be clean swept when they were fighting back against the Cardassians + Dominion). And also, aren't you forgetting the Klingon Empire????????? And the Bajorans et. all.
That will be the typical defense you hear.
Except there's a few problems.
1. It's not what the creators apparently said so it's already headcannon.
2. Ironically Picard was already out in Romulan territory when the attack occurred, so unless he was on some small private ship a la Rios', then he had to have been out on a Federation issued ship. So we already see a contradiction in the creators words versus their own fucking canon.
3. The idea that news would not have traveled outside of Federation space that the Feds were utterly crippled and incited their enemies to arms is quite frankly so dumb
4. To think the Klingon Empire or any other allying fleet would just willingly detract all their manpower from their own frontlines just to protect the Federation is downright stupidity and hilariously, woefully naive wishful thinking. If anything, those allies would probably leverage being bodyguards as a political/diplomatic chip.
5. Handfuls of ships out in exploration/guarding being drawn back in for a rebuilding effort would completely hinder security efforts. And also, decommissioning them after the new fleet is build is both economically irresponsible (why waste a operating good?) and politically impractical (to think that there would not be blowback from allies or even from within about the nature of their current ships - because they know they work, tried and true - is again, woefully naive).

PIC sounds like a TNG one-parter stretched out to cover a whole season.
Julian Martinez
20 odd idiotic robots who chose in less than 30 seconds to end all life in the galaxy to save 20 odd robots.
Yes this is exactly who I would choose to sacrifice my life for on a gamble they might change their mind because of my sacrifice.
Brayden Campbell
Kayden Diaz
Why does the Admonition, a message left supposedly a millennia ago, have Data in it?
Blake Brooks
christ this cant be real.
Jordan Russell
It's probably going to be left by Michael fucking Burnham.
Just give it time.
Ryder Hall
The same reason it has DaVinci's Vitruvian Man
Samuel Bell

Grayson Smith

Matthew Foster
QRD on STP?
I'm never gonna watch it.
Luke Bailey

>man strives to be perfect
>so we make artificial life
i love logical jumps and basic fucking paradox ignorance
something created by imperfect beings cannot be perfect
this is a basic, b-a-s-i-c fucking paradox
yet they still ran with it
absolutely based
Wyatt Hill
>something created by imperfect beings cannot be perfect

Dominic Wright
poop show
Michael Long
I wonder how much money can be made by creating assets like that? My current skills aren't too far behind.
Logan Morgan
how is that a paradox? that makes no sense
Isaiah Flores
>Oh? Something wrong? That is your name isn't it? Haha, just kidding. But seriously, get the fuck out of here before I shove my Federation cock so far up your Romulan ass not even a Vulcan would be able to contain their disgust
Jackson Campbell
Jesus Christ Riker looks so old and fat now.
Zachary Perez
>LOLOLOLOLOL YOU CANT NAKE SOMETHING PERFECT IF YOURE NOT PERFECT THE TERM "STRIVING FOR PERFECTION" HAS LITERALLY NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE IN THE CONTEXT OF AIMING TO IMPROVE ON THINGS WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOOOOOING
Either you are literally autistic, or are just blindly grasping at shit to be angry about. Either way, go to bed.
Jackson Barnes
Because it implies imperfection and perfection are the same thing, cutie.
If perfection can be born from imperfection, then it holds that imperfection can be born from perfection (because it is perfection, and is capable of anything). But then that would imply that imperfection holds no actual capable difference with perfection. It's indirect equivalence.
1 can create 1 (perfection can create perfection)
1 can create 2 (perfection can create imperfection)
2 cannot create 1 (imperfection can create perfection)
But, if you insinuate that 2 can create 1, then 2 can create 1 which can create 1.
so 2 = 1 = 1 because 1 can create 2.
It's cyclical combinatorics.
Brandon Miller
>go to bed.
It's fucking 8am niqquh
Dylan Powell
>striving to achieve perfection means making something that cannot possibly be perfect, so you're not actually achieving anything but stroking your own vanity
You don't achieve excellence by just making something completely different from yourself.
How are you achieving anything if you just make something else to exist vicariously through?
Gabriel Murphy
Old and fat maybe, but he's probably the only character that felt legit out of the various returning ones.
Jaxon Robinson

Leo Brown
the whole bad robot clique need to just die
Austin Garcia
elab
Jaxson Murphy
pretty sure star fleet had multiple shipyards
a better question is why are there so many different convoluted plots
Luis Phillips
kek
but you get what i meant
its a paradox for a reason, which is why using the concepts of "perfection" vs "imperfection" when talking about the struggle of man is always the dumbest shit
Wyatt Thomas

Oliver Scott
why do they have to be these XBOX HUEG paradigm shifting concept redefining plots
this is the same shit they did on lost
Mason Smith
The Romulans only had 2 planets?
Ethan Smith
>icheb got his eye ripped for literally no reason
>his death had legitimately 0 meaning to the overall plot
>they killed off his character for literally, absolutely no meaning whatsoever
but why
Ayden Rivera
I'm pretty sure Earth itself had a shipyard.
Probably not as large as the one on Mars, but still a shipyard.
Luis Butler
He looks so based, like he was always supposed to look like this. He was always so serious like a grandpa.
Isaiah Turner
I don't think Troi was bad, either. At least if we consider the movie Troi as the same character.
David Gonzalez
To give Seven a reason to leave. Or .. something?
Jacob Flores
Who was the bigger bitch?
Henry Wright
No one cares about this shitshow, user.
Ryan Clark
Mike's theory: because the original actor wasn't a democrat. Or something.

Way to contradict your own points writers
Robert Gomez
This was about as horrific as I expected until the last minutes. Until then it was just STD/Rise of Skywalker tier, but in the last 5 minutes we had:
>Soji randomly changed her mind about eradicating all life in the galaxy like a teenage girl making a decision about what to wear
>alien nemesis just about faces and decides to go home at the last second for no reason
>Picard gracefully expires saving the universe only to have his mind copied and shoved in a robot which is deliberately programmed with a very limited lifespan
>Data is simulated and immediately asks to be put back in the grave, which Picard actually fucking does
>Seven suddenly a lesbian getting with the black woman who she's barely met
>Alison Pill having a romantic date with the pilot instead of locked up on New Zealand for premeditated murder
Carter White
What do you mean?
Cooper Clark
that was just massive cope
they were just looking for shock value via nostalgiabait
and it worked

If Picard is about 90, he's actually still short of the expected life span of a human. Most people get about 120 years, apparently.
Landon Butler
Not as you remember.
Oliver Martinez

Nathaniel Green
>a butterfly that's immortal isn't a butterfly at all :^)
you literally could have just posted this and made the same post
this statement makes no sense
immortality does not change the state of its existence, it's just a fucking characteristic
