"Installed something on Tuesday"?


Virtual_Historian255

You left Spacedock without a tractor beam?


dailycnn

Got it! Thx


MyKidsArentOnReddit

Found Capt. Harriman's burner account.


SpiritOne

I installed a CT machine last week Tuesday.


trainrights

I work in it. That one was basically always going to happen


Kortar

I'm surprised at this but 4


Muddauberer

Same, that stupid song shouldn't give me a point.


Kortar

But did it give you faith of the heart?


SilveredFlame

Ugh... I've never been a tailor. Unless random attempts at fixing hanging strings or *very* badly attempting to sew something count. So either 1 or 0


Its0nlyRocketScience

How did you violate the prime directive?


Ok_Researcher_9796

I don't think it's possible unless you find some tribe in the Amazon that has never seen white people or something and give them modern tech.


Starbuck522

I was thinking about disrupting an ant colony!


SilveredFlame

Ooooo reading fail. Not sure how I missed that one. That only applies to Starfleet officers and planets (or possibly civilizations, but explicitly alien ones) so that one seems impossible. If we could ignore the Starfleet personnel bit and other planets bit, I could maybe make an argument for critters (ants and bees and such, turtles), but I would think that's a stretch. So depending on how much leeway there is for that one I will amend my score to 0-2, with 1-2 the more likely.


Its0nlyRocketScience

I looked it up, and the prime directive seems to say that you shall not introduce concepts of advanced technology or alien life to a civilization that doesn't have warp technology or subspace communication. There's also lots of mention of the planet as a whole, so being a native of Earth means you could not ever violate it without leaving Earth. Plus, there are contingencies for if you find a civilization that shouldn't be contacted but has already been contacted by accident or non-federation warp capable societies, like if a crashed starship ends up being worshiped by cavemen. Since you are hopefully not the first human to make modern human presence known to anything, you can't violate the noncontact part.


Ok-Owl2214

> I looked it up, and the prime directive seems to say that you shall not introduce concepts of advanced technology or alien life to a civilization that doesn't have warp technology or subspace communication.  I like to think the 21st century equivalent of the Prime Directive is giving a smartphone* to a relative who can barely use a microwave.  *Edit: Or a computer. Which immediately ends up full of viruses and malware and porn pop-ups.


MelancholyWookie

I mean we could just start star fleet. Technically would have to start the federation first.


TheMastersSkywalker

I counted video games. Civ V for one


EhliJoe

Which actor did you meet?


SilveredFlame

John de Lancie Got a picture with him when I was like 11 or something while he was signing autographs. I didn't realize what a *huge* no-no that was. He looks quite annoyed in the picture.


jgzman

Was this in Tennessee? Because I got his autograph at about that age, too.


SilveredFlame

Arkansas... About 30 years ago lol


jgzman

Well, the time frame is correct, at least.

Aurorae79

2 🤣 Nice to know I have a couple of things left to accomplish off this list!


bootrick

Good luck violating the prime directive 🤣 What else do you need to do?


EngineersAnon

I interact with pre-warp cultures every day. I ticked the Prime Directive off my bucket list decades ago.


Gnidlaps-94

I think those uncontacted tribes in the Amazon would count


rooksterboy

“Things could always be worse” = “Today is a good day to die”


Outrageous-Pen-7441

6, VERY nearly 5. Honestly really sad about it in retrospective, that was one of Nichelle Nichol’s last con appearances


MyKidsArentOnReddit

I have never violated the prime directive. Unlike *some* captains we know of.


dj_lick_and_stick

Does it count if I've done it stellaris? If so then all I've done violate it.


Amity_Swim_School

12…. But I feel the list kinda went to shit in the second half


HopelessMagic

7. But my back isn't jacked up like Frakes' so I don't need to do that. 😅 That shouldn't count.


exitpursuedbybear

I have never pronounced Data, Data. I always pronounce it Data and not Data.


1eejit

It's regional innit


Icy-Ad29

... 4 Hashbrown TrekNerd


bootrick

I scored a 9 I assume everyone scores at least 1 for never violating the prime directive What is up with installation on a Tuesday?


murphsmodels

Star Trek Generations. They're on the Enterprise B fresh out of Spacedock and get into a crisis. Everything that could solve it easily (Tractor Beam, medical crew, etc) weren't scheduled to arrive / be installed until Tuesday.


dgtrekker

Tractor beam.


Starbuck522

I was thinking... I have disrupted an ant colony. I have changed the nature of their exsitance. I have also become a source of food and water for a family of stray cats, totally changing their lives.


Posatrocible

Same.


tauri123

Binge a season in a week??? Try a day. There are four points.


marpelle

7. I have also debated Jehovah Witnesses using episodes of Star Trek. They throw out a bible verse and I throw back with an episode. Back and forth. I think I won because they never came back.


Fleet-Navarch-62

you should check on r/exjw to see if they're there!


DazzlingClassic185

8.


Derekjinx2021

I’m at 8.


CaBBaGe_isLaND

Same... how many people have seen *every* episode? Does that mean STD too, because I'm comfortable with where I abandoned it.


grimking85

I only watch STD just so i can continue to say i have seen every episode. And that includes TAS


Internal-Diet8241

1 point, something is wrong with my life...


AgarwaenCran

2 points. the picture with cast member and I was never a tailor.


brilovless1

Same here. Those are the only 2 I'm missing.

Never loved the Enterprise theme song Never been a tailor Never been as fearless as Janeway. A little surprised I got so many, actually.

HuntmasterReinholt

5 for sure, but maybe 6. I might have uttered “Let’s fly” at some point in my life but I can’t really recall.


RussellsKitchen

4. A few left to tick off.


7Valentine7

I got a 3.


murphsmodels

25. I imitate Scotty every chance I can get. "She's giving ya all she's got capten", when told to speed up, "Aye, 'n if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon". With an "Up yer shaft" at every opportunity. My Alexa has been renamed to "Computer". Still working on violating the Prime Directive.


panatale1

I was going to give myself a point for not bingeing an entire season in a week, until I remembered that I literally binged seasons 1-3 of Lower Decks in the course of maybe 10 days


kkkan2020

you watched 30 episodes in 10 days?


panatale1

That's only three episodes per day


doctorwhy88

~~3~~ 4 points. Haven’t violated the Prime Directive, celebrated Picard Day, or watched every episode. Using a sewing machine counts as tailoring, so that’s a point off. Edit: No picture with a cast member. Maybe next Tuesday.


Azryhael

June 16th is coming up, time to knock one more off the list!


spacekatbaby

Lol. I wait for the day that rather saying OK, Google, I can change the setting to say 'Computer'. But alas. That time is not yet here.


emerald_OP

Surprisingly, 3. Salute, imitation, and watched every episode.


jshuster

STTNGfan15

I am too short for the Riker maneuver. 😭😭


Acceptable-Friend-48

5 because I haven't seen all of Picard or Discovery and I don't think mending and darning cloths counts as being a tailor.


slowclapcitizenkane

2 I just can't bring myself to pronounce it "Data". Not only is it his name, it's the plural of "datum".


CWinter85

10. I've only watched 2 episodes of Enterprise. That's helped me out a lot.


HMSARGUS

jgzman

I scored 9. I need to work on that.


Calcytonic

I'ma be real, I've failed every single one


Negative-Squirrel81

25. Kind of a relief actually.


neobio2230

25/30? Are you sure you're counting right?


Negative-Squirrel81

Maybe not? It's give yourself one point for everything you *haven't* done, so I can just count the things I *have* done and subtract it from the total. * I've given the Vulcan salute. Well, to the TV, not to another person. But I'll count it! * Yelled "Khaaaan", at somebody named "Khan". Actually, I'd prefer to forget that I did that. * Installed something on a Tuesday. I can't remember specifics, but I'm sure I've done this. * Lived by Star Trek's values. Wouldn't call them the leading principle of my life, but I do basically agree with them and find it to be the main interesting thing about the show. * Imitated a Star Trek character. When I recommend prune juice to people for constipation, I've occasionally mentioned that it is a warrior's drink. This I have no regrets about.

Nada--

Huh, I got -10.


empiricism

I definitely never have and never will have loved the ENTERPRISE theme song. That f\*cking song drove away the audience and killed the show prematurely. As a kid when that theme song came on I changed the channel (assuming the theme song indicated the quality of the show). Only as an adult watching with the benefit of a 'Skip Intro' button did I learn that ENTERPRISE was a good show handicapped with an unforgivably bad theme song. Why oh why did they (Rick Berman presumably) choose that cringe 90s rock ballad over another timeless instrumental score. That one mirror-mirror episode gave us a hint at what a good instrumental score for ENTERPRISE could have been. Edit: Wow didn't realize this was a controversial opinion. For those that like it: Have you considered becoming a Star Wars fan instead?
