Here’s the rest of the (long) thread that I cut off for readability, but it’s also pretty funny:
I really like how Lower Decks goes with that last comment and say “yeah, somebody has to shoo those sharks away when the other ones are busy; this are their voyagers”.
Well this is spectacular!
I always just assumed the “crazy shit for everyone” theory was the case, they just didn’t have the scientific understanding to describe it. 100 years later those crazy descriptions had been analyzed to death.
But I love the Continuing Crazy Adventures of Captain Kirk theory. That one sounds like it is way more fun. Star Fleet is reading these logs and just trying to figure out what to do with Kirk.
Lower Decks basically confirms that everyone is encountering crazy stuff all the time though.
Bruh this is one trippy ass meme to stumble upon while one is on ketamine holy shit
If you think of what Data says as the output from an LLM, this tracks. It’s even funnier if you accept that everyone knows and understands that data hallucinates his knowledge sometimes, but he still proves to generally be a good officer.
I’m sure this has other lore implications that invalidate it.
other lore implications
I hate that I can hear Lore saying “…because of the implication.”
Enjoy!
