It's about how stuff in Star Trek would really be used by people.

Hmmmm...
What would I do with a holosuite.
Maybe a nice date with Jadzia Dax......
 
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
 
I'm *boring.* I think I'd mostly use it to visit tourist spots I couldn't visit in real life. And to slay all those who oppose me in a thoroughly healthy and cathartic fashion.

Besides, Elves are hotter than Trills. [Wink]

But I may be able to discover exactly how far down the spots go.... [Wink]

I would like to try some of Bashir's and O'Brien's battle simulations, especially the Battle of Britain scenario.

I laughed in disbelief at the times people would act like they really met a historic figure when they were in the Holodeck. When Geordi told Barkley that he just spent time talking physics "with Enstein" I yelled "NO HE DIDN'T! HE WAS TALKING TO THE COMPUTER!"

I much preferred Sisko's use of the Holodeck. Much more realistic. No, you're not meeting Babe Ruth but if you program his stats into the computer you can play against him.

I think you could take the Holodeck and create the best sports matches and what-if scenarios of any sporting event you could think of.

I believe it has been established that they go all the way down! [Big Grin]

I'm not much for sports; in fact I'd have a terrible time if someone forced me to play sports. I think if holodecks were real in the present day, I'd spend a lot of time playing Star Trek holonovels [Big Grin]

A holodeck reenactment of the Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves, except the Krazy-88 are all swedish celebrities and just stand in place, and I'd stand in the middle and just scream at them for hours.
 
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
 
That fight scene out in the back, with the snow falling and Santa Esmerelda playing, and a sword fight with Lucy Liu in a kimono...that's all just so cool. Favorite fight scene ever.
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
THAT'S your favorite fight scene? Jesus.

Holodeck= "Faster, faster, faster would be better!"
 
Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :
 
Trench run. Definitely.


And I may or may not be talking about Star Wars. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
 
World of the Worlds, except I'd be the one piloting the tripod. Mwahahahahahahaha!
 
Posted by Johnny (Member # 878) on :
 
If I could use a real holodeck, why not try out a scenario from the franchise that inspired it?

I'd like to see how long I could survive as one of the crew on the Enterprise during First Contact.

" would like to try some of Bashir's and O'Brien's battle simulations, especially the Battle of Britain scenario."

Yeah, I guess I could visit normandy on june 6th 1944.... See how long I could survive on Omaha beach. That would be interesting.

Replace 'fight' with 'sex' and 'kimono' with 'nothing' and all would be set! [Big Grin]

Maybe a date with Emma Watson....
 
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
 
Coming from anyone else on this board, that would be hella creepy. But she's actually older than you, so that's okay...
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
True. One of the joys of being young.

Did you know that the registry of the PROTECTOR ( NTE-3120) actually stood for Not The Enterprise?
 
Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :
 
"That's not right!!!"

Unless the fx supervisor was lying......

....damn ninja post.

I was replying to Wiz's post. I've known that about the registry for a long time.
 
Posted by bX (Member # 419) on :
 
Holodeck date with Emily Watson. (about whom I thought Seanbaby was talking. I was all impressed).
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
A holodeck WOULd help me put to bed all these romantical-type dreams I've been having lately about Aoki Rin.
 
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
 
*eyes slide of focus* Or Shakira.

*shakes head to clear it* So *besides* playing at being a bridge officer in Star Trek in the Holodeck... [Big Grin] What about the rest of the article? I thought the bit about alien sex was particularly amusing.

Erm, I'm 99% certain that page is ripped from The Dilbert Future. The conversation passages are from the cartoons accompanying the text in the book.

Still funny though.

it is, taken from that, & even says so at the top.

Your powers of observation continue to astound, Inspector.

So, "sword sex", then? Who are you, Fighter?
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
Seanbaby? Ive had less homosexual sounding nicknames. Like Chickie, and Ferdi, and Seanothan. I seriously think that clip made me go blind. *shivers*
 
Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :
 
So am I the only one here that would truthfully say that I'd use the holodeck to have rip-roaring sex with as many fabricated supermodels that the computer could program, like the shameless shallow asshole that I am?
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
Well, I'm sure that thought had crossed everyone's mind, but that would be shallow... [Big Grin]
Personally, I think supermodels are too thin. I have to have a girl who eats more often than I understand a joke.
 
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
 
Amen! Give that man a near-beer!

I'll take a cream soda or a Logan-berry.

Realistically, if anyone invents a holodeck it will end up just like the internet...soon taken over by sci fi fans and the porn industry - or perhaps a combination of the two (there must be a market out there for "Ferengi Moogie Porn" [Razz] )

I'm sure someone will recreate the NCC-1701, and 20 other people would run around screaming about how engineering is in the wrong place...

Imagine a world with a holodeck. Paparazzi could make fortunes snapping accurate holo-data from celebrities.

Also, Japanese holodeck programs would be horrific.
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
Yeah, the Japanese seem to be into the whole " lets take creppy to a whole 'nother level" industry. They have created several video games where the player's sole purpose was to do dirty nasty things to large breasted females in school girl outfits. Just imagine what they'd do to the holodeck. You'd need to scotch gaurd the whole thing, for easy clean-up.

So it's just liek when Riker's done with it.

Remember my crazy lesbian roommates from 2001-2? Yeah. I came home from work early one night to find them having sex in the living room. A sword was involved. I turned around & walked to the store.
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
RIker wouldn't have enough blood left in his brain to command effectively, not that he can do that already. He'd be like Barcaly with his Holodeck addiction.

FOr some ungodly reason, I found myself watching America's next top model today, and I thought it was nice that they let large models on the show, but they always get eliminated, because they don't "fit" the bill....literally....
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
Dude, trust me when I tell you that what they call "plus-sized models", aren't. Size 8? Not plus sized.
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
Well, the few that I saw were, well, to quote gaberiel Eglasias " fluffy". Deffinately into the donoughts a little too much. And I think Tyra Banks is a spoiled bitch.

Nothing wrong with do(ugh)nuts, or squishy chicks,

Marilyn Monroe was a size 16. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
But she had curves in all the right places. And a size 16 was the norm for the "perfect" woman back then. Now, it's like a double zero. I don't know why people just cant accept themselves and those around them for who they are. Great, I am beginning to sound like the "Great Bird "...
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
Some of us still have that standard.
 
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
 
Amen to that, brother.

I wonder how many lemons have been written about odo and Kira, especially from the POV of total body liquid coverage/double penetration...

hmm....

Oh Snap. i have snatch on the brain again...

I didn't watch the whole thing because I hate ytmnd, but the look on the guy's face at the beginning...I bet I look like that sometimes when I watch her. (Or similarly, anyway [Razz] ) Not her best song, that; her best stuff's in Spanish...I would do...so many things...to that woman...

Did someone on this board not post some kind of Odo-pretending-to-be-Keiko-fnarfing-with-O'Brien thingy?

And no, Dukhat, you're not the only one. Just replace "supermodel" with "size 15-18 or so" and I'm with you. (Skinny girls...."I feel like I'm 'onna break this daaaamn thang!")
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
I wonder how many people would create their own slash fiction Spock+Kirk scenerio?
 
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
 
Everyone who'd ever seen TOS would, just for a laugh if not for, ah, enjoyment. And the people who didn't would be dragged into the 'deck by their friend who was going "Dude check this out, it's hilarious and disgusting!!" only to have their retinas burned.
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
No, that could be achieved by watching Data and yar, or Janeway and Tuvok.
 
Posted by WizArtist II (Member # 1425) on :
 
Neelix and Kes?

Ilia & Decker?

Kirk & the Horta?

Chewbacca & an Ewok?

Elf Bowling 4?

The ep where Paris and Janeway were turned into lizards, and copulated. That was worse.

T'Pol in an early Pon Farr putting the moves on Phlox. Damn fool Phlox! He's in an open marriage, T'Pol is half-naked, sweaty, and demanding sex, and he tells her No, I'm making you a serum!

He should have been slapped.
 
Posted by WizArtist II (Member # 1425) on :
 
Pon-Farr-Slapped. New Term!
 
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
 
I wonder, if Tpol Pon-farr slapped him, would his head inflate?
 
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
 
Yes, I'm sure *one* of his heads would inflate.

Daaaaaaaamn.
