Here you go!

Someone suggested Stardate 06107.2, which works out to February 8, 2329, which might be Freeman’s birthday.

Well, the Genesis Planet did do something similar in ST III (keeping it vague for spoilers), but that one had a body to work with.

As for 06107.2, it could be a birthday (June 10, 1972), but the only reference I could find to that was the birthday of a background actor on ENT named Bobby Pappas.

It’s definitely not coincidental, considering that “The Inner Light” is one of the most famous episodes of the series. It’s a pun, a play on words in relation to the TNG episode title. It doesn’t have to have a thematic connection for it to be a title.

Now that you mention it, the design is actually also close to the Academy Training Ships that Nova Squadron were using for the Kolvoord Starburst maneuver.

Of course Kirk is familiar with the works of DH Lawrence, one of the horniest poets ever.

I think you got most of it covered except for living materials, which can’t be replicated because of the resolution limitations of replicators - like cargo transporters they operate on molecular resolution instead of the quantum resolution required for live transport. Gagh is a good example; because it ideally needs to be live it can’t be replicated in its intended serving form but has to be kept in barrels in cargo.

The other limitation would be stuff that’s prohibited by program not to be replicated, like weapons, banned substances, although that’s of course a coding issue rather than a materials issue.

Also, to correct a common misconception/inaccuracy repeated above - replicators don’t convert matter to energy or vice versa. They operate by dismantling the raw material for replication like a transporter does then reassembling them in new forms. The underlying technology is the same as the transporter, except that it rejigs the matter stream into a new configuration.

Which is why the question as to whether you want a holodeck or a replicator strikes me as a bit off because replicator technology is part of the way holodecks work. When you eat food on the holodeck it’s very likely that it’s replicated food, not a hard light illusion. Holograms of people can also either be hard light constructs or meat puppets manipulated by force fields, depending on the program and its requirements.

So if you ask me - holodeck or replicator, I’d choose holodeck because that gets me both the entertainment value and the ability to make objects and food.

It would if he had visible genitals in that sequence, but he doesn’t.

In LD: “Second Contact”, Mariner says she was once trapped in a sentient cave for weeks: “You ever been trapped in a sentient cave? That’s a dark place that knows things.”

Oh the subspace outside is rippling

And the short range sensor’s tripping

I suspect there’s a cloaked ship, so

Make it show

Make it show

Make it show

Send a tachyon pulse to check it

If we’re lucky we’ll detect it

Then we’ll give it a tetryon glow, to

Make it show

Make it show

Make it show

When their ship is at last revealed

Arm the phasers and lock as they pass

We will watch as they flee the field

With a photorp up their ass

So the Romulans keep on flying

As we wave at them goodbye-ing

Till the next time they have a go

Make it show

Make it show

Make it show

The back pain due to injury is true, but the reason he sat down that way isn’t because of that. Frakes confirmed in an interview that he did it because he thought that would showcase Riker’s cockiness. Nobody stopped him from doing it, so it stuck.

The back injury, however, is the reason behind the “Riker Lean”.

I wasn’t completely certain as well, but the Canadian city name and the registry number (Vancouver was NCC-40492) cinched it.

“Now don’t worry, I’m sending a hologram of myself that only you can see and hear, and T’Pol says there’s a 92% chance if you do as we say you’ll get sent home.”

“You seem awf’ly calm about this, Cap.”

“I may have had some experience. I find saying Oh Boy every now and then helps.”

I knew it sounded familiar! Thanks, I’ll add that.

I couldn’t think of or find anything special about Section 87 (except a Babylon 5 reference). The usual number that crops up is 47, anyway.

Ah, ok. With minimal spoilers:

When Picard came out, it became obvious that the post-Nemesis future depicted in the Litverse books was no longer compatible with canon. The decision was made to write finis to the Litverse, and that resulted in the Coda trilogy, which pretty much marks the end of the Litverse continuity. No future books will be set in that continuity, although some references may be made.

Are you aware that the Litverse as it stood has an end point? Just letting you know in case that factors into your enjoyment.

I want to see them pull this on Star Trek shitposting on FB.

It’s a historical document!
