...and other things I learned from Star Trek.
Seriously, while gawking at her has a calming effect, let's face it, she's bad at her job. It doesn't take years of school, or telepathy to tell when a Klingon is angry. They are ALWAYS angry!
And what happens when she deals with Ferengi, whose minds are resilient to her powers? She can't tell Picard a damn thing of what they want(money).
You know all of those fancy bypasses and overrides and emergency overrides that were installed into your ship? They are really some wiseass engineer's idea of a practical joke. All they need are spring loaded snakes to spring out of the consoles to get the point across to the crew who keep wondering why the they never seem to work.
What beats Nazis? Klingons with Bat'Leths.
If the captain doesn't know your name before the mission begins, starting a living will right away.
Am I going anywhere with this? Sort of not really. Star Trek is great for what it is and was, but after watching the current Battlestar Galactica, most other scifi shows are pretty light hearted. But I do hope one day the Trek franchise will rise again.
