  • Tricky to make that work in the (moneyless) Federation. Maybe the Enterprise gives a Whateverian ship asylum against the Ferengi just inside Federation borders, and then the Nagus (Wallace Shawn’s Nagus, of course, I can’t imagine that Rom would do such a thing) demands that they extradite the Whateverians to face prosecution for theft. An investigation ensues, and it turns out that they didn’t actually take anything physical, they just pirated a replicator pattern for the Whateva root, the root of an extinct plant which the people of Whatever III desperately need and are running out of. So now Picard has to figure out how to not cause an interplanetary patent incident and still make sure that the Whateverians get what they need.

    The B-plot is pretty solid, though. That can basically stay as-is.











  • Yeah, Crystal Pepsi was discontinued in 1994, but Star Wars Special Edition (see C-3PO on the Doritos bag) was released in 1997, so this is weird.

    Edit to add: I was curious, so I looked up the history of the Mountain Dew logo. They connected the “T” and the “A” in 1996, which honestly makes this all a little bit weirder.
