I'm posting this quite late. I, of course, take no responsibility for the fact, and will instead blame Netflix for dropping the entire season all at once, and the fact that it is still not legitimately available to stream in Canada. Also, I just kinda wasn't feeling it.

But we're back on track! I don't know if I'll be able to get out the rest of PRO season 2 before LDS season 5 begins, but my plan is to at least try to go through two or three episodes a week.

32nd Century Historians: “Doctor Bashir was good friends with a Cardassian tailor named Garak. Though both men would occasionally take a romantic partner, their friendship was the most enduring relationship in both men’s lives.

”Doctor Bashir and mister Garak’s friendship was characterized by frequent lunch engagements, discussions of classic literature, and long sessions together in the holosuites.

”Eventually the two men retired together to a small pleasure planet that catered primarily to males. Mister Garak ramped down his tailoring to work exclusively with leather, and the pair raised prize winning voles.

”After Garak passed away in his sleep, Doctor Bashir is said to have become distraught. He refused to leave mister Garak’s gravesite, and died himself only three weeks later.”

My interpretation of Rom's portrayal was that he was playing up the simple earnestness of the character, as a ploy to lull Admiral Vassery into accepting the terms of deal as part of a test to see if the Federation had the lobes to be viable allies to the Ferengi Alliance.

I'm curious about what your issue with Rom's portrayal was.

Hardly!

Nope, as mentioned in the post, I didn't make this one.

I think you may be referring to "Extreme Risk", where Paris builds the Flyer.

"Drive" is the episode where Paris' ongoing midlife crisis prompts him to convince Janeway that allowing him to enter the Flyer in a politically charged race between former enemy states is a good idea.

NuTrek apparently began in 1973.

”I guess you guys weren’t ready for that, but your clone offspring are are going to love it.”

Only if they can't help it.

'Academy' hasn't even started filming, so likely not.

Spock's insecurities being the cause for whatever is happening here is my hope as well. It's a funny moment, but it falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny, so I'm hoping Trelene did it or whatever.

Strange. I assume that is not the case for other posts on the board?

What is it you are seeing?

I think you’re good on spoilers since it is the first episode where the shuttlebay three reveal happens.

The crew knows that shuttle bay three is there, they just call it ”the restricted hanger” which makes me question what the difference between a shuttle bay and a hanger is. I don’t think that accounts for the three missing decks. It could be that Zero was simply wrong.

Or it could be that deck numbering aboard Starfleet ships makes no damn sense.

Also, unless you count the Infinity there aren’t any shuttles in shuttle bay three.

Inspector Spacetime?

12 is what I want to pick as well, just because I feel like Riker and Kirk are some of the more gregarious characters, and would make for the best conversation, but that would be three relatively burly dudes in one another's space for a pretty long time.

I think ultimately I would have to pick 8.

Thank you! These are always fantastic. Please keep them up!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm going through season two as I'm able, but with Netflix dropping them all at once, and my other obligations, I can't say I'm going to be especially quick with the posts. Hopefully I can do two or three a week, but I make no promises.
