Somebody warp me!

I think you may be referring to "Extreme Risk", where Paris builds the Flyer.

"Drive" is the episode where Paris' ongoing midlife crisis prompts him to convince Janeway that allowing him to enter the Flyer in a politically charged race between former enemy states is a good idea.

It’s Pride Month.

I guess I mostly think of Frakes as the director of the TNG episode, "Sub Rosa".

Well, I guess we need to shut the forum down seeing as there isn’t going to be a better meme at any point.

Ii believe Neutral Good is Doctor Reyga, the Ferengi scientist whose murder Doctor Crusher investigated during “Suspicions”.

I don't mind admitting that I'm over 40, and have been watching Trek since before TNG was being broadcast.

And, while personally I would be on board with an adventures of a younger Kirk as first officer aboard the Farragut, a TOS remake just seems like a missed opportunity. TOS exists, and we can all watch it, warts and all, at any point. Sure, there are some things in the show that it would be nice to modernize, but I would much prefer something new as opposed to re-treading that familiar ground.

Really, the only Trek I would be excited to get a remake of would be TAS.

Yeah, I know he's was compromised by Ferengi, but c'mon, Reg, the guy you were templated on literally served under Picard when he was assimilated.

This is silly.

Worf doesn’t worry about that.

I wanted to leave him some dignity.

First off, I think we should dispense with the notion that the biofilters are exclusively jizz. If Janeway's in the middle of one of her period dramas after her third cup of coffee that morning, and she needs to drop a massive deuce, does she pause the program, or hike up her skirts over a chamber pot in the corner like a proper Regency era governess?

And you want them to use the transporters to beam waste material around the ship? The system that created Tuvix?

In "Day of the Dove" Spock claims that intra-ship beaming is dangerous, "Pinpoint accuracy is required. If the transportee should materialise inside a solid object, a deck or wall," and in "Twisted" B'Elanna has to specifically configure a transporter for site-to-site beaming.

(please ignore season one of Disco, where characters just tell the computer to beam them somewhere on the ship, and it does so instantly without issue)

Not to mention that page 108 of the "Technical Manual" cites that site-to-site beaming requires double the amount of power expenditure, because it is essentially two transporter functions combined into one.

When you get right down to it, having the lower decks change out the biofilters just makes good sense. And what else are they doing while bridge crew actually handle all the important jobs? I'm pretty sure ensign Jones will survive if he misses this week's life drawing class or poetry recital.
