See, I preferred to save that for the end, so it ended on a high note. Being stuck with boring ice in the end just left me feeling like the whole thing was a bummer.
Like chewing a stick of Fruit Stripe gum

That's a whole other question. The replicators of TNG era weren't protein resequencers like they were in Enterprise. They were simple matter/energy conversion. They would reclaim the matter and store any remaining energy in the ship's reserves.
In Voyager they said the holodecks ran on a completely separate power supply than the rest of the ship, so maybe they never really intermingled with the replicator systems
That's what I mean, I didn't!
The plastic wasn't a danger unless you were doing something absurd like putting plastic in your mouth and then tightening your lips to a dangerous degree. And that would be very easy to stop doing, you just... Don't hold so tight with your mouth.
It's not like you eat these like drinking a thick milkshake. You suck too hard, you pull all the flavor out and are left with flavorless ice. I would always rather have flavored juice left over
It's not a person, the holodecks are just designed in a horrifying way. We learned from an early TNG episode that when the holodecks do an uncontrolled shut down, they reclaim all the matter within them. It requires a special intentional function to leave the people behind.
So don't worry about it, they're self-cleaning
I can't be the only one who didn't hurt himself on these as a kid.
Like... I wasn't the smartest kid in the world, but learning to be careful with anything you put in your mouth, that was a lesson I learned early.
Wtf were you people doing with these, anyway? It took me only like 3 tries before I decided these weren't worth trying to open with my teeth. It was scissors from that point on.
I didn't hate watching it. If you just enjoy the fun parts and don't think too hard about how it all works out how it could have been better, it's not a terrible time.
But I was just putting something on Netflix, I wasn't really expecting or looking for the highest of quality
I thought Morbius was not as much fun to watch
I mean it should be fairly obvious, but sometimes a person is at home while browsing, and might like to see these. Other times they are at work while browsing and could actually get into trouble for viewing them
This is about the "not safe for work" tag, isn't it?
Sounds like something a Herbert would say
Is this supposed to be a static image with a fake play button in it? Because that's all I'm getting. No animation, no changing pixels, and no illusion of movement
I always thought the Humperdinck episode highlighted one of my less favorite tropes in sci-fi: that the first person we see of a given race creates the template that all other members of the race must follow.
The idea of the entire El-Aurian species being "a race of listeners," as Odo put it, always came across pretty poorly to me. Granted, they didn't lean too heavily on that for his characterization, but it rubbed me wrong that this "racially enlightened series" still reduced a whole race to a single quality that Guinan happened to be strong in.
I'm shocked at what an unpopular thought this is. Like... If you go out in public, there's a very real risk that people in public will see you. If that's a concern you have, then you should take steps to not be seen in public. To me, that would mean not making my presence obvious when visiting a bar.
Camera or not, if people are looking for you, they will find ways to look for you in public places. You should always assume you're being watched, because you probably already are.
That and I think the people getting breakfast that early are on a business trip rather than on vacation
