According to the Top Gear Alternative highway Code, you can be fined for driving with an inappropriate haircut. I would think Strfleet would have a similar regulation somewheres.

Given she wore that haircut for pretty much the entirety of the series you'd think that Starfleet would have filed charges at some point if they did.

Maybe they did but she, being an empath and a cunning linguist, kept them stuck in red tape limbo for years.

Oh well.

Probably.

I'm sure they do. Though if that were the case, some of the truly ugly species, especially those with huge noses that block the mouth, would be destroyed just to keep the space highways safe for those with awesome hair.

A necessary sacrifice methinks

Oh come on, that's nowhere near as ridiculous as the massive beehive that Rand wore on TOS.

Hey hey hey! We have a rule. What happens in the 60's, stays in the 60's. That's how the system works.

You laugh, but TNG and even DS9 date themselves in their own ways.

Some examples please. I can understand TNG, as it's starting to fell rather 80s in some places. But please, some examples.

The big ones on TNG are the hairstyles (specifically, women's hairstyles), and the old saw about the 80s thinking that therapists would become so ubiquitous as to even have one on the bridge of the Enterprise.

DS9 has the following:

- Coffee. Everyone's drinking coffee raktajino, which is just Klingon coffee that happens to sound rather like "cappucino."

- COMPUTING. DS9 was happening during that period of time when TV fiction started learning about the wonderful world of PCs, so we get instances of godawful dialogue/technobabble that's meant to sound knowledgeable about computers. Like O'Brien discussing the AI that took up residence in the station computer. Or Worf talking about "reinstalling the operating system one file at a time" in order to improve phaser performance or some such shit. This isn't quite as bad as that Voyager two-parter where they got the Doctor's mobile emitter, but it's still bad and dated.

- SECTION 31. It's a shadowy quasi-official black helicopters shuttlecraft conspiracy. This was a fad in the 90s; see also The X-Files and Men in Black.

Totally dated... I mean, I haven't had a cappuccino in like two days.

Uraniun235 · Post by **Uraniun235** » 2011-12-18 04:44pm

What's dated is the prominence of coffee consumption in media, not the actual consumption itself.

Coffee was mentioned far less than people realize. Rewatching DS9 on Amazon, it had mentions, but was not everywhere. It is comparable to Picard and his Earl Grey tea. And he was just a single person.

We talk about Coffee more at work in a day than DS9 did in a season.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2011-12-19 07:27pm

I think that was part of the point. Earl Grey was just Picard, while raktajino was allegedly all over DS9.

Except in DS9 it was mentioned about as often as TNG. TNG was the over representation. DS9 was dilluted by being spread amongst many people. And it was slowly lessened over the years at that.

You'd expect the new shield frequency to show up on that too so that wouldn't have changed much of anything (not that that excuses Riker for not ordering it done given he didn't know that)..

i guess they could have watched him key in the new frequency??

Have you actually read my post? Whether or not they could watch Geordi input the new frequency (as opposed to him simply hitting the 'randomize frequency' button, which would be the smart thing to do, but then, if the E-D crew knew how to do the smart thing they'd simply have opened up on the BoP with everything pointing the right way) they got to see the big honking display that would've []shown[/i] the new frequency, whether or not they got to see Geordi input it or not?

What? Everyone on a military assignment drinking coffee? Unheard of!
Drinking a beverage not from America the Federation? PREPOSTEROUS!
