Geordi is secretly the chillest. His visor can see Bev snuck about five joints into the ready room meeting. Hes not gonna say anything though but everyone thinks he would cause hes so to the book.

I like to think that after his episode in TNG, Scotty went on to have all kinds of adventures in his little shuttlecraft.
When I was a kid, I'd draw his little shuttle craft showing up in battles against the borg and the like.
Scotty uses the Nexus to return to the Enterprise B, replaces himself at that point in time, and then messes with the navigation system of the shuttle he's on to avoid the Dyson Sphere entirely (saving his friend).
Edit: basic grammar.
This sounds like a great beta canon novel plot.
Better watch out for the time cops.
Scotty gave some 1980s rando the formula to fabricate transparent aluminum. He gives exactly zero fucks about the time cops.
ACAB, even time cops.
Especially time cops.
I've decided Ship of the Line is canon and that Montgomery Scott was on the engineering team for construction of Ent-E
The Holodeck is for porn.
I think this has been pretty explicitly confirmed in DS9 and LD.
In the episode "The Perfect Mate" Riker gets all teased and worked up by the sexy alien.
He escapes the conversation saying "I'll be in the holodeck" with a lot of implication!
"People use it for that!?"
"It's almost exclusively that!"
Isn't it basically confirmed in tng as well with broccoli? I can't quite remember
It was never overtly stated that Barclay was doing sex stuff, though I thought it was a neat bit of world building how they said that recreating people they knew in real life was sort of taboo.
First of all, Holosuites are Farangi made.
Definitely. They talk later about how it's one of the largest breaches of trust walking in on someone's use of it.
That's just canonical at this point. 👉 👌
Otherwise why can you create holograms of your coworkers to bang and apparently that's not against the rules or the programming of the holodeck?
Not just Barclay either. Remember laforge? He was basically married to his warp drive waifu and then she showed up and it's like "oh shit uh awkward I've boned you in every hole"
Wait a sec, tuvok literally used it to pon far. So even more canon, on screen canon!
Did he? Unless I am confusing episodes, didn’t that turn out to be a lie or be lied about it working?
Is there a cold there were two Vulcans on that ship, and I think they both had to do it at least once, but according to dialog from memory alpha, it sounds like it's pretty common:
"I am a married man." "It's the holodeck, Tuvok. It doesn't count." "Is that what you tell your wife?" "No, of course not. My days of rescuing slave girls from Planet Ten are history. Look, you have photographs of your wife, right? The computer can use them to create a replica. You wouldn't be breaking your vows if it's a hologram of your wife."
Yeah that is the lead up. I recall after that he lied about it working.
The important thing is that it shows that canonically the holodeck is for porn.
Snap. Now I need to write a parody of Avenue Q’s “The Internet Is For Porn” lol
Data has always understood humor. He may not experience the emotion of mirth, but you don't need that to understand humor. He is pretending not to understand as a practical joke.
His biggest running joke is that he can't use contractions. It would be nice if one day he tells everyone that he didn't think they'd fall for it for so long.
Lal was using contractions in like a week and that was before her brain melted.
TNG character headcanon?
Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn
Universe headcanon?
The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.
At least Alexander got to join the House of Martok. All Kurn got was a memory wipe.
Nick Locarno was a name Tom Paris went by for a while to distance himself from his father. I don’t care what Lower Decks had to say about it.
Q was Trelane all grown up. We’ll see if this holds up after SNW season 3 comes out.
Data always had emotions, he just didn’t understand them. Lore never had emotions, he was faking it.
Spot was a robot who underwent a series of upgrades throughout the series, and Data applied the lessons he learned from that to the development of his daughter.
Not about the characters themselves, but lots about the universe.
-We don't see it on screen a lot, but I assume that automation takes a lot of the less desirable jobs. This frees up people to pursue their passions or improve themselves without having to worry about who's going to want to dedicate their life to being a janitor.
-While money isn't necessary on Earth or within the Federation at large, Starfleet members and/or Federation citizens are given stipends to spend at places that may need it. This includes ports of call like Farpoint Station or non-Federation establishments like Quark's Bar.
-Unpopular one incoming. The economy of Earth (for whatever the term "economy" is worth here) operates more similarly to an idealized form of capitalism than it does to communism. We see that private property canonically exists and can be acquired or relinquished through personal transactions. The Picards own Chateau Picard, Joseph Sisko owns Sisko's restaurant, and they're free to operate them as they see fit.

Those are not necessarily features of a capitalist mode of production.
Given they don't actually need farms to produce wine, the federation might see Chateau Picard as personal (as opposed to private) property that supports Jean Luc's little hobby and preservation of traditional knowledge.
Hard to compare, because Star Trek Earth really has no need for modes of production. Hence my parenthetical - it's hard to describe their "economy" in terms of the systems we have today since they can produce pretty much anything they need, as much as they need, whenever they need it.
Not characters, but places.
Earth is extremely competitive to gain any notoriety, which is really bad for a lot of people as notoriety and talent have become what is valuable in human society. People leave Earth because, while it is comfortable to live there, it is really hard to move up the social ladder. It is a lot easier to move away to get a better position, hence why humanity still colonizes other planets while Earth is paradise.
The Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarire civilizations were going into decline when the Federation was formed. This is why Humanity became the dominant species of the Federation; the other species effectively gave up trying to be powers.
K’Ehleyr is a Q in disguise.
