It's insidious

I’m just about to finish watching season four … and I’ve suddenly realized how terrible it will feel when I get to the end. Man I love this show!

You’ve hit the sweet spot. Season 5 is by far my favorite. A few dry spots, but solid overall.

Great times!

Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.

We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.

At least I only have to worry about seeing Wesley for only one episode.

EDIT: Actually I dont have to worry about him at all, because I was hallucinating one episode ans replacing Nog with Wesley for some reason.

Wesley isn’t in DS9.

Turns out I have been hallucinating when Nog is listening to Vince Fontaine and sharing a room with Jake.

This whole time I remembered that as a Wesley episode.

You thought Wesley was in “It’s Only a Paper Moon”?

Wow. And Paper Moon is legitimately one of my favorite episodes that doesn’t get a lot of fanfare. Replacing Nog for Wesley mentally is something I can not conceive of in that.

I mean, canonically, isn’t Wesley basically a Q at this point, doesn’t he have Phenomenal Cosmic Powers™? Wesley disguising himself as Nog shouldn’t be too hard to do. Hell, it was in a holosuite, and if anyone can rig one of those, it’s Wesley.

So, what I’m saying is…canonically, there is no reason that it couldn’t have been Wesley hanging out with Jake…

I still refuse to believe Starfleet’s go-to drink is caffeine-free.

Admiral Janeway, please calm down.

I’m still smarting from the betrayal that is Diet Barq’s

They don’t even drink alcohol. What makes you think they allow caffeine?

“there’s coffee in that nebula”

They clearly allow it, whether or not most partake is another matter. I’m also not familiar with anything saying they don’t allow alcohol, just that synthetic is a widely used alternative

Picard has actual earth produced wine from his family’s own ancient vineyard in stock. They usually just don’t drink alcohol unless it’s a special occasion, but synthol has the same effect, it just wears off faster, so people can drink within 4 hours of a shift.

Kaboom, wrong about everything as usual.

Maybe they have Barq’s. It’s caffeinated root beer.

Root beer was just an example of what hoomans like that seems bizarre to other species. If we’re talking DS9 I’d say the go-to drink was all the caffeinated raktajino everyone was pounding

What about my comment implied I didn’t realize that? Anyways, Raktajino was also consumed a lot on Voyager. Its strange that Quark focused on Root Beer in light of all the other stuff people drink, other than, hey, this is the only carbonated thing they drink that’s not caffinated or alcoholic … but that wouldn’t be true either?

He did say “Starfleet” drink a lot of it, not “humans”, so maybe it is just that pupular with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites, etc.
