Mine is that Picard talks in his sleep.
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.
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.
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.
Worf is a racist misogynistic deadbeat dad and its amazing he’s tolerated.
Rewatching Birthright had me absolutely disgusted with Worf “falling in love” with like a 16 year old he peeps on bathing in a pond then saying “you’re an abomination” when he finds out she’s half romulan
The Holodeck is for porn.
I think this has been pretty explicitly confirmed in DS9 and LD.
Isn’t it basically confirmed in tng as well with broccoli? I can’t quite remember
“People use it for that!?”
“It’s almost exclusively that!”
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, replaced himself at that point in time, and then messes with the navigation system to avoid the Dyson Sphere entirely (saving his friend).
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.
This sounds like a great beta canon novel plot.
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.
They’re all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.
In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.
They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.
Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit
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.
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.
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.
