/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I liked the extra fuzzy one from "In Theory"
There were apparently 6 cats and one lizard.
I hope he was getting those cats out of the replicator. He wasn't even consistently getting the same gender.
Computer, cat, orange, alive.
The first time he forgot to specify alive, that was a horror
He wasn't sad, but boy was it a time consuming mess.
Why not just teleport the mess somewhere else?
Are you trying to get Barclay laid off?!
At least he'd get laid...
No holodeck when you're homeless.
Computer, cat, orange, hot.
Oh dear.
And that's how Data found out he was a furry.
He’d just ask O’Brien to take one out of the pattern buffer.
You don't.
You really, really, don't.
The screams....
We know they do actually take animals from planets to study them, so it honestly wouldn't be surprising if they just stored patterns of alien creatures. O'Brien is playing intergalactic Pokemon
The transporter doesn't have the storage space for that except in special circumstances when the plot depends on it.
And let's not forget that the Holodeck on the Enterprise D cannot create highly realistic characters which display sentience without super cybernetic alien enhancements except when it can.
(I love Moriarty, but the idea that the ship's computer could create a sentient life form on the Holodeck because Geordi misspoke is ludicrous.)
The Bynars upgraded the holodeck in 2364 and Moriarty was created in 2365, so that checks out. I mean, sure, at the end of 11001001 they showed that the capability went away, but there's no particular reason the holodeck couldn't have been re-upgraded again sometime off-screen later that year.
Besides, given that they went from Riker looking at the holodeck like he'd never seen one before in Encounter at Farpoint (also 2364), to The Doctor being activated in 2371, it was clearly a time of rapid advancement for holodeck technology.
They de-upgraded it at the end of the episode.
They wouldn't have to store them in as detailed a way though. Maybe they could keep the genome on file and tie in the replicators
Gotta catch em all.
And they were all the stupidest actors Brent Spiner had ever worked with:

So one cat with 3 more lives left.
