That’s not the star trek problem solver, it’s not even the star trek problem creator
A thoroughly rousing speech on space ethics from captain Janeway .
Or just telling the helmsman they’re relieved and piloting the ship herself between two stars. Probably my favorite scene of hers. Fuck with her crew and she’s pissed. Kill one of them, oh hell…
Kill one of them, oh hell…
Yeah. Only she’s allowed to do that.
Uhm. I think you mean from Daniel fucking Jackson.
Followed by breaking said ethics/morals/Prime Directive.
Found section 31.
With as much temporal shenanigans that she got up to it wouldn’t suprise me if Janeway founded Section 31.
The sonic by far, a lightsaber is probably cooler and phasers are crazy versatile, by the time I stopped watching Doctor Who it was basically a magic wand if it wasn’t always.
Can you imagine the mischief Scotty would have gotten into if he had a sonic screwdriver
I’m pretty sure it’s just a Green Lantern power ring. Doesn’t work on wood my fanny…
It always was
C4? Please. How about using an actual Stargate to destroy a system?
“You blow up one sun and they never let you forget it…”
Stargate wouldn’t be C4, it would be a Zat’nik’tel.
- one shot stuns
- two shots kill
- three shots vaporizes
Full credit to Shanks for asking the important questions how badly designed a plot device it is. “How long between shots does it reset on the same target?”
I mean to be fair it was not “designed” at all. They needed to get a body out of the way in one episode and didn’t have time to rewrite/reshoot so one of the writers was just like “Well, the body just gets shot again and disintegrates…”
Just the stun is funny hownit works - sometimes it takes out people for hours, sometime they are good to ho pretty much right after.
It’s an electric current. So it would be as long as the charge is still present. If it wears off, it resets
Er, so as soon as you stop pressing the button?
Nah man. P90
This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.
Hey you, get that target swingin a little
I love that the p90 was literally designed to be the opposite. it was supposed to be issued to truck drivers and other support type personnel (and close quarters peace time antiterrorism type stuff).
Everything is relative.
IIRC the 5.7mm was purpose designed to punch through paratrooper body armor. It absolutely is a weapon of war.
I always assumed it was like dosing medication - depends on the person’s weight and age.
No don’t worry about that!
Nothing has been disintegrated since 1969
Will always live the scene where they’re on Apophis’s ship, looking down over the shield generator. Bra’tac states that to disable it, they need to go on some long cliche sci fi quest of going through multiple decks, flipping various controls, etc to disable the generator. O’Neill just calmly pulls out a couple grenades and drops them into the generator, destroying it.
Or the time when the Asgard are like “your stupid method of using shotguns against the replicators is surprisingly effective.”
Well… It also worked against the Borg every time, but Star Trek people insisted on never replicating some.
Maybe they should send the Enterprise back in time to recruit somebody too.
Yup, that’s the one!
The next bit is gold too.
What now?
Now we die.
Well that’s a bad plan. Where are the glider bays from here?
Are these…shuttles…formidable warships?
That’s why the Asgard wanted humans as allies. They had a unique but primitive way of tackling problems everyone else had forgotten.
“What do you mean we just blow up our brand new highly advanced spaceship?”
“WTF that worked?!”
The “O’Neil”. Writers were cleverer back then.
There’s another guy with only one ‘L’
And he has no sense of humor.
Best response to a post I’ve ever gotten.
Self sealing stem-bolts.
I’d gladly pay you yamok sauce on Tuesday for a self sealing stem-bolts today.
I feel like an idiot.
Everyone wants these things and I don’t even know what they do.
I guess it doesn’t matter, they sell well.
One of my oldest
TOS phaser with TNG Picard? C’mon
Same issue with the lightsaber, how am I supposed to enjoy a lighthearted comic with this bullshit?!
Grow up, it’s just a laser sword
Alec Guinness, is that you?
Hello there
Handy timing with the announcement of new Star Gate!
Wait, what??
Sorry to link YouTube, but yeah, check out the creators announcing it!
When in doubt, C-4. -Adam Savage
Jamie is the one who said that
I was wondering if that was the case but I saw it kept being attributed to Adam in a lot of places so I figured I was misremembering it.
SG for the m’fn P90. Duh.
If we’re going by frequency, for Star Trek, I’d replace the phaser with “reversing the polarity”. But I think it’s pretty spot-on for the others.
Star Trek phasers can be rigged to be explode just fine. They have all the functionality of C4 plus some.
…credit where it’s due: the Death Star solved ALL of Alderaan’s problems with a single keystroke.
