Random Headcanon: That Federation Vessels In Star Trek Seem To Experience Bizarre Malfunctions With Such

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

This way people can see they’re not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.

Kirk and Picard have very different styles.

🤣

The little look between Chekov and Yeoman Landon (and even the security officer behind them). What does it mean? is it:

a) Chekov has been telling everyone that Kirk and Spock are in love but it was hard to get others to believe. This is his, "I told you so" face.

b) They, and most of the crew, ship their two superior officers and are inwardly gushing, excited to share the details after the mission is all over.

c) They have a betting pool on how much Kirk can flirt with their oblivious XO. Big points for the skin-to-skin contact there so someone just won a lot.
