How quickly would the police show up if they were handing out food to the homeless? Or giving away free insulin?

Chronologically, this is a strange situation. Two episodes, back to back, where the Enterprise goes to Starbase 11. Yes, the same starbase, but with a different base commander each time. Judging by the difference in stardates, about a month has passed since Kirk's tribunal, so it is conceivable for them to go off only to come back a while later. And it is possible that in that time Commodore Stone was rotated out or took leave. The stardates and chain of events work, but it's still a little odd to not only have two Starbase 11 episodes in a row, but two courts martial in a row.

#17: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 1, episode 11 & 12 "The Menagerie"

Written by Gene Roddenberry, directed by Marc Daniels & Robert Butler.

Stardates 3012.4 through 3013.2 (September 2267)

"It's your life now. At least a chance for life." - Commander Spock

The Enterprise is called to Starbase 11 by an urgent summons. However, when they arrive Commodore Mendez (Malachi Throne) reveals that they sent no message to the Enterprise. While on base, Mendez reveals sad news to Captain Kirk, and especially Commander Spock - Captain Christopher Pike (the man who commanded the Enterprise prior to Kirk, and Spock's former Captain) has been gravely injured in an accident and is undergoing treatment right there on Starbase 11. When they go to see him, Pike is a shell of his former self and demands everyone except for Spock leave his quarters. When Kirk & Mendez suspect that the message was sent by Pike himself, Mendez reads Kirk into a top secret report about Pike's mission to a planet called Talos IV and how it is now forbidden for any starship to travel there. While they are talking, Spock reboards the Enterprise with suspicious, classified orders to embark for Talos IV immediately... leaving Kirk behind.

Sometimes the hydra eats one of its own heads, as a treat.

Naw, that was all her.

We don’t see it, but Picard immediately changes and goes back to tell her it’s alright and she does it again.

The very next time you see the stain on Picard’s uniform it’s different.

They obviously had to redo it because she got herself worse than him.

He tried to warn us!

I think at this point of the show, they’ve had enough dealings with Captain Janeway that the most pragmatic way to deal with her is to try and keep her talking for as long as possible while they figure out what to do.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

No, but I see why you’d think that. That’s J. Paul Boehmer.

(Un)fun fact, he also played the SS Officer in The Killing Game episodes.

Such a shame that David Hyde-Pierce wasn’t in Star Trek. At all.

The intro for Medalist (2026), an Anime about competitive ice skating. This song jump starts my heart every time I listen to it.

(And the visuals for this show are movie quality.)

In an effort to catalog a quasar while delivering critical medical supplies to New Paris, the shuttlecraft Galileo crashes on an unexplored world. Commander Spock, one of the shuttle's occupants, takes command for the first time and attempts to balance his rational, logical understanding with the frayed emotions of the other stranded crewmembers who must now follow his orders. Meanwhile, Captain Kirk fights a ticking clock to locate and rescue the lost shuttle occupants while High Commissioner Ferris (John Crawford) breathes down his neck to reach the life or death rendezvous on time.
