This is the Janeway Protocol from Lower Decks, no matter what anyone else thinks.

@Ping_chan  
And if you look to your right, you’ll see Geordi la Forge foaming at the mouth at the sheer lack of science in display

@Bhazor  
The hospital ship actually needs a new warp core themselves, I already positioned our ship to eject it directly into theirs, if all goes well it should be like two drunk men coughing up lungs between each other.

But captain, we’re still docked with the hospital ship.

@Burbur  
From here or here if you want to cut to the chase. I reccomend you check his other stuff as well. You might like it.

wtf is with ‘Eat Harry’ stuff? I really wanna know what this meme about eating the person that never got past ensign in the journey through the delta quadrant

@Background Human  
Full impulse? More like over a million years to get back.

I hope someone has linked this to SFDebris at some point.

@Zebasiz  
After further review, it was the second-to-last episode of the series. Just after Neelix left the show. Go figure.
 
(Yes, it was the ECH. No, it wasn’t a fantasy.)

@Background Human  
but don’t you know? Neelix knows everything!

@Background Human  
It was probably during his time as the Emergency Command Hologram.  
May have been during one of his fantasies.

@TexasUberAlles  
Since when the hell does a hologram have authority to order a warp core ejection? I’m pretty sure even Neelix would outrank him on that call.

hahahahaha I just went and looked it up, and Janeway has never actually ordered a warp core ejection; it was ordered twice by Lt. Torres and once by the goddamn Doctor. That doesn’t include the Silver Blood duplicate warp core ejected from the Silver Blood duplicate Voyager by the Silver Blood duplicate Ensign Kim in the recursively stupid Silver Blood duplicate episode.

@ObliviaTheChangeling  
Mister Kim the replicator in my private quarters is always broken.
 
Eject the warp core.

@BigBuggyBastage  

Lewd.

@ObliviaTheChangeling  
I thought the Janeway was sending Harry Kim or another extra (haha) in to meet certain death, to both prove to the audience “this is the bad guy,” and amuse herself via cries for mercy.
 

 
I’m kidding. Mostly…. ;)
 
As for money, I found it easier to think of it as a ‘local norm,’ or perhaps a cultural/contemporal thing. The Ferengi had gold-pressed latinum, we saw Picard offer coins for ensign Ro, etc., but the Federation (usually…) didn’t use money per se. As Vinyl Fluff pointed out, credits were issued occasionally, but those were (to me) simply a way of the writers slamming their fists against Gene’s Box.
 
Yes, we’re dancing around the issue that currency IS needed in some form, even when you can create physical objects from virtually nothing via replicators, because services still exist. Unless everyone in the Trek universe is a die-hard communist, it’s hard to believe that anyone would be a waiter or waitress, for example, simply because they enjoy the work, and want do it completely free of compensation.
 
Is a cash-free society a little too utopian a future? Perhaps. But it’s an ideal to show us how irrelevant socioeconomic status could be in a free and equal world.

@Nightweaver20xx  

 
Officially, anyway. Federation credits were mentioned at various times. And at the academy transporter credits were used for the students. So there seems to be some forms of currency in the Federation, just not cold hard cash. And of course keeping alien currency was permitted.
 
It seems puzzling that a business such as Sisko’s father’s restaurant, which prided itself on making real dishes with real food instead of replicated stuff would provide food for free. Doubly-so when real, grown food was a rarity given how prevalent and universally-accepted food replicators were in the Federation then. I mean I guess the pride in providing real meals could be the sole point, but it still seemed odd to me.

@ObliviaTheChangeling  
Those things aren’t free you know, Janeway! Those come out of your salary!
 
Oh wait there’s no money in the future.

@Soul scribe  
There are three ways of solving a problem. The easy way, the hard way, and the Janeway.
 
The Janeway always revolves entirely around ejecting the warp core.

She did want that warp core ejected a lot…

@Zebasiz  
He should have died at the end of Waltz, TBH, but the blatant weeb in me enjoyed how the ending was basically Goku vs Majin Vegeta. XD

@TheAbridgenator  
Indeed, loved him as a villain.
 
Feel he lot a bit when he, well lost his mind at the end there~ But hey. It happens~

@Xaekai  
Garak? Best? But he is just a humble tailor!
 
>:)
 
For a race of genocidal assholes the Cardassians tended to produce the most interesting characters. Gul Dukat is probably my favorite Trek villain.

@Xaekai  

 
I wouldn’t say he was the best, but he certainly was up there among them.
 
“What I want to know is out of all the stories you’ve told me, which ones were true, and which ones weren’t?”
 
“My dear doctor, they’re all true…”
 
“Even the lies?”
 
“Especially the lies…”
 
 
Fun fact: They had at one point considered making Bashir bisexual and Garak gay, and have the relationship between the two become physical over time. This was nixed because the producers felt it would make a lot of the fans angry, and result in a negative backlash.

I wonder how well you could do a Cardassian one of these…
 
For the best Star Trek character of all time, of course: Elim Garak
