Star Trek (VOY): Dreadnought

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Right. It is actually a distinctly reliable throwback to the TOS era, but I was thinking exactly what you said, that it's rather fun (I just saw it within the month).

As far as allegory, this is what I stumbled upon and I think it fits alright.
Power laces... alright.

"If Wishes Were Horses" and that one where Bashir gets possessed, though, those two can die in a fire.
''If Wishes Were Horses'' is crap no doubt. Bashir's wet dream being given physical form though always gets a smile out of me. I cannot think of anything more embarrassing than this HR violation brought to life.

''The Passenger'' though. Woo wee. Yeah there is no saving that. Siddig puts on a level of ham worthy of Shatner in this one.
We used to argue whether Star Trek or Star Wars was better. Now we argue which one is worse.

the Passenger is forgettable but not that bad.

I like If Wishes Were Horses.

IMO, I think Voyager had the best first season out of all Trek with TOS being a very close second. With DS9 at third, then Enterprise and lastly TNG.

I would even say Picard and Disco had better first seasons than TNG.
I got nothing to say here.

That still isn’t as bad as Code of Honor, among other season 1 episodes, Dear Doctor, or DS9’s own… *Shudders* …Profit and Lace.

Huh?
HR = Human Resources [Department]

Staffed companies will typically have a department for interpersonal policy and conduct upkeep. They also handle employer-tied health insurance -- which I forget if Germany has employer provided health care on general national level -- among other employee welfare matters.

HR stands for Human Revolution first and foremost (Deus EX ftw. why are DE1, DE:HR and DE:MD not committed yet btw?).

But in all seriousness, I know what HR stands for. I'm just wondering about what HR-violation clearspira is talking.

Well Bashir's dream brought to life was Jadzia, so...

Well glad we got that cleared out of the way.

Oh right. That's actually the joke. It's a situation not provisionally covered in standard HR policy due to the fabricated speculative fiction scenario.

Well your doctors seem to get paid as well as standard administration managers are here, but I am aware that it is a more privatized market system.
