Mine is that Picard talks in his sleep.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
