If it’s gonna take 75 years to get home you might as well violate the prime directive a little. You’ll be dead by the time they punish you anyway.

How long do humans live in star trek? (Not red shirts)

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's about 120 on average. From cannon.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where'd you get that number?

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

A few seasons, maybe more.

Honestly I liked the vibe of Voyager. They basically went on idiotic side quests because it seemed like it would be cool.

I feel like a ton of episodes opened with one character pointing out this wasn't their business and didn't help them in any way, another character just going "...but we're explorers", and then Voyager getting into some weird shit.

A huge part of why I love Star Trek is because the galaxy seems vast and mysterious, with the Federation only truly understanding a small part of it. Voyager was the king of that shit. There are a ton of Voyager episodes that give us a glimpse into characters and concepts that could be their own series. It really made them feel like drops in a vast ocean.

own series

Like the time Paris and Janeway devolved into lizards and had freaky lizard sex.

I was thinking more the fight club with the rock or the dinosaur aliens, but sure.

Give me a Tuvix spin-off where he hosts family feud already.

hey if I was trapped in the delta quadrant for seven years I'd be a bit irritable at night too

Rules are made to be broken?

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're more like guidelines anyway.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"The Prime Guideline", yeah, that sounds impressive

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"The Number One Suggestion"

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a euphamism for Riker proposotioning someone for sex

Hey, you gotta let loose every once in a while ~~also they had coffee over there~~

If voyager went sublight they could time dilate themselves into the future. Idk why I just realized this.

Eh jk I guess they're too far away anyway. Any Earth they would recognize is gone.

If only they could fly on mushrooms with tardigrade DNA. I wonder how pissed Janeway would be upon learning about spore drive technology.
