          I find this episode to be oddly very comfy to watch, since most of it is just wandering around an empty station and hanging out in someone's private quarters, learning about them as a person.

          Is this the one where people turn into invisible monsters and Geordi does comfy-spooky holodeck detectiving? Or the one where the monster turns into a rock and a dog and tries to absorb him?

      Iirc, no. They kissed once, and it's implied he didn't reactivate the program after that. When the real doc shows up she's angry in part because the program starts up again basically at the moment things got horny, making it look like Geordi designed the program exclusively for fricking.

                TNG gives us no hint that most alien "women" have different genitals to human women, though. When everything we see of them except their nose/forehead is exactly the same as humans, it's a safe assumption that their pussies are the same too.

      All Good Things' future events don't really take place in the main TNG timeline that 99% of the episodes do, though.

      You can watch porn at home, if that information is leaked at work then nobody bats an eye.
      If you watched deepfake porn of one of your coworkers face generated onto a porn actress, and that info gets sent to HR, you're probably getting fired. It's technically literally sexual harassment. It's actually smart how TNG understood the distinction of having someone play out a fantasy and someone playing a fantasy of their coworkers. It's uncomfortable for everyone.

              You've been tricked. You were with girls who hate sucking dick, so they tricked your inexperienced ass and made you think they don't feel good by intentionally giving you shitty head. You gotta know what to tell them to do so they can't pull that shit. I've got a whole list of instructions to make that shit prostituteproof. I cum way easier and more satisfyingly from head than from any other act.

              Besides, even if you're not getting oral, no mouth means no moaning, no begging for you to cum, no plaintive cries, nothing. If your only defense is "I hate having to hear women talk" congrats, you've never been with a woman worth fricking.

Even if she is not cheating, it is hard to justify this sort of behavior without making her look like a massive b***h.

          What kinks do you think are allowed by Starfleet Command, and what ones are not?

          I mean "Vulcan Love Slave" is fairly constantly referenced in the various trek shows as something fine no one has an issue with, and while they intentionally keep that vague the title suggests bdsm, enslavement and rape are all seen as acceptable fantasies. Vulcans expressing love in general is seen as taboo.

          The only more direct reference I know of is in one of the DS9 novels, I forget the title of them but it was three books and they involved time travel to a future where an alien race that sound suspiciously like Necrons are fought, phasers have been replaced with laser visors like Geordis and the bad guys use clone duplicates of everyone. In the first book there's a passage about Jake and Nog going into the holodeck and running a program that's a combination of Jake's pond program and Nog's alteration of Vulcan Love Slave. In Nog's alteration instead of vulcan love slaves there's two Ferengi women wearing like eight layers of clothing bundled up like they're in the arctic because it's illegal for Ferengi women to wear clothes so Ferengi have a massive kink about them doing it. Nog comments "Vulcan love slaves don't wear much clothing... This is more fun."

        Well in Voyager's case it was for three reasons honestly.

        1. The setting meant limited options for human characters to romance so the holodeck had to be used to expand this.
        2. The Doctor was in part a plot device in this regard, as he raised questions as to whether or not he was alive and counted as a person and so on, although this has it's own issues as if we rule he *is* a person then doesn't that make reprogramming other holo characters to be what you want and have sex with you a form of rape?
        3. The in-universe reason given was literally "We're trapped in a foreign part of the galaxy with no stress relief and our crew have *needs*.

      He's probably one of the most relatable characters on TNG. Obviously Barclay is relatable too but he's a bit TOO extreme in his socially awkward autism, whereas Geordi is more realistic and balanced, like, he's chill and good at his job and gets along with everyone well in professional and social settings, but isn't able to get things to reach a romantic level. More people can relate to that than Barclay's "I'm an ultra autistic weirdo that everyone is instantly repulsed by".

            He seemed like he was handling it pretty poorly until Picard, the only actual decent and sympathetic person except for Troi, ORDERED him to handle it better.

    Okay to combat the sex talk thats been going on, I'm going to post about the most dry, sexless Trek episode ever, The First Duty..
    What are your thoughts on this episode? I personally love it, as a law student it appeals to me slow, legalist-autist mindset, but I practically NEVER see it mentioned by TNG fans as a great episode even though to me it's one of my all-time favourites.

        TNG is fricking full to the brim with moralgayging so I don't think this episode is unusual in that regard.
        Seeing Picard absolulely rip Wesley apart is fun though.

          the other part that bothers me is picard having his whole senior staff investigating to exonerate wesley when he was already on track to be exonerated.
          also why the frick are they flying around in that massive starship if theyre going to go back to earth every year?
          just not a good episode

      obvious bait is obv but:
      The First Duty of every starfleet officer is to quote that line whether it be a paraphrase or in picards voice or just the first three words.

        Picard is THE ultra-moralgay, so it seemed completely in-character for him. The guy is a dry, humourless lawyer at heart, he fricking loves following the law and the rules by his very nature. It was in character for him to react like that, especially to someone he considered to be his "apprentice" of sorts.

          if he loves following the rules so much why did he misappropriate resources to investigate the incident? does he think starfleet security is incompetent or corrupt? if so why doesnt he fix that problem instead of bullying children into ruining their careers?

              youre still evading the point that it was none of picards business and completely inappropriate to get involved. if tom had a little more experience he would have accused picard of having a personal vendetta against wesley and got everyone off on a technicality.

                Picard did not get involved in any professional/official capacity, it was purely personal, just like how his mother was involved. And Picard was basically a father-figure for Wesley, so it's completely understandable and reasonable for Picard to have become involved in the way he was.
                >he would have accused picard of having a personal vendetta against wesley
                Are you fricking kidding? Picard is accused of playing favourites with Wesley and giving him unfair advantages, if anything (because he wanted to frick his mother). Certainly not being out to get him.

                > Picard doesn't know anything. He has a theory. So let him tell the inquiry what he thinks happened. They'll ask us, is it true? We'll say, no, sir. There's no evidence, so there's no case. We'll get off with a reprimand.
                and its all made even worse by wesely throwing away the starfleet ideals so he can get his ass ate

            He's seen first-hand that Starfleet is both incompetent and corrupt in several areas, yes. Fricking hell, he had to fricking blast several high-ranking officers with a phaser just a few years before the incident because they gotten infected with space worms. So wanting to make sure Starfleet doesn't frick this up by personally seeing to the matter seems very reasonable since he was already there.

              already being there is a massive problem though. how the frick are they supossed to explore the galaxy when theyre never more than a few months away from earth? what the frick was picards mission anyway? cataloging fauna kirk and spock didnt have time for?

                It's not the first episode where they just pop back to Earth when the plot demands. I always assumed that because space is so massive, they just have a bunch of uncharted territory within federation space that needs exploring.

                You exagerate how much they visit Earth. As far as I remember, they only visit present-day Earth (as in, 24th century Earth) like twice in the entire series, that being The First Duty and Time's Arrow, both in season 5. The writers of TNG intentionally did not write many episodes involving contemporary Earth.

                if the ent D can come back to earth for commencement it cant be more than a few months away from earth. with only the handful of earth trips shown they literally wouldnt have time to get anywhere new in 7 years.
                remember its not only earth exploring the galaxy. there are hundreds of federation members who already explored the space around their planets. it would take years to get to unexplored territory

                Technically they returned to the Sol system the episode before to fight the Borg. And before that they were in the Romulan Neutral Zone which is relatively close to Earth by TNG times.

                Clearly sometime between Kirk making the name famous and the launch of the Big D the Enterprise's primary purpose became diplomatic rather than deep space exploration. Even when they do scientific stuff, the star clusters and nebulae - for all we know - could lie well within charted UFP territory making their missions more about cataloging or experimentation rather than a first pass through. Except for episodes like Farpoint and The Chase where they travel thousands of lightyears in a week. Which brings up the most important point here in that Star Trek is horrifically inconsistent about travel times. Even TOS had the Enterprise travelling between the far frontier and the core worlds of the Federation multiple times.

                TNG has a pretty good balance between exploring new regions and traveling between already-explored and settled/UFP regions.
                The overwhelming majority of DS9 takes place within UFP/Allied areas, very bad example. There's barely any Gamma quadrant exploration.

                DS9 made a big deal about being on 'the frontier' yet they could always make it to Earth or Q'on'os or wherever in a week's time. It's one of the messy things about the attempts to make official Star Trek maps; Bajor and Cardassia are closer to Earth than most of the civilizations Kirk visited 100 years earlier. Not that it's impossible that the Federation hadn't reached Cardassian space even earlier - there are Cardassians even in ENT though they don't come into direct contact with humans - but once again it's hardly a frontier then.

                The more Trek tries to develop a large, cohesive universe, the more holes there are in it. That's why TOS had it right in not being specific about anything and just doing whatever it wanted. TOS is like the only Trek series that never even went to contemporary Earth, either, so it has that in its advantages.

                They did though. And Vulcan, which Gene himself put 16 light years from Earth. But yes, expanding over almost sixty years with god knows how many different writers has created a probably uncontested clusterfrick of lore.

      Problem is when you think of dry, legal procedural Star Trek, you think of Measure of a Man and this one gets lost in the shuffle

        Nah, to me Measure of a Man is way too melodramatic and showy, with an issue that is too alien and unrealistic to relate to and feel genuinely engaged by and uncertain of how it'll end. I simply do not give a frick about AI/android "rights", whereas the issue of training cadets fricking around and getting someone killed in a stunt feels a lot more understandable and real-world, and the outcome is more unexpected. And there's no moral groundstanding and theatrics, it feels very authentic.

    Funny how we are now having this argument in real life, with AI now generating realistic photos of real people doing anything. Truly ahead of its time.

    I think that all rights are gone if you are a celebrity or a public figure, if you put yourself out there you should expect this kind of thing. But as for normal people and co-workers, it's fine so long as you keep your stuff strictly private; any leak, intentional or not, should be harshly punished.

    So Geordi and Barkley should have kept their holofiles strictly private.
