Consideration is Puerile

"This activity is truly unproductive. The end result has no use. No necessary task has been accomplished. Time has been expended, nothing more." (7 of 9, on sculpture).

On this page I intend to present a discussion of topics in a spirit of fun, and which are preferably basically pointless. In other words, my favourite waste of time!

Q: Why does 7 of 9 wear high heels?

The tight costume I can understand; she'd probably find it efficient to walk around naked (Borg don't wear clothes), but there is no way those heels are efficient! Here's a few suggestions:

She was left with shortened tendons after having implants removed.
She feels "small, weak, individual" without them.
There's implants in her legs that would interfere with the ship's integrity field if they got too close to the hull.
The doctor took advantage of her ignorance of human customs. (Remember, this is the guy who stimulated her hair follicles without asking first).
The replicator doesn't like Borg.
She wants to be able to see over the snooker tables the BBC keeps dumping in front of the ship.
Kathryn told her she likes her in them.
B'Elanna told her Kathryn likes her in them. (The bitch!).
Her feet really are that shape.

Q: Why have the Taelons really come to Earth?

7 is mugged for her clothing

Ro-ha is caught 'white-handed'
wearing a stolen bio suit.

Now they're after her tailor.

Q: Will Harry Kim ever get laid?

My answer; yes, but only when the doctor works out how to insert him into the reproductive cavity of a giant alien chicken.

Q: What will never happen on Voyager?

The scene is the conference room; the command crew is filing out having just received one of Janeway's bombshells. Chakotay stays behind to voice his opinion.

Janeway: "Out with it."

Chakotay: "I think you are making a grave mistake." (He continues at length, including at least one parable passed down from his ancestors)

Janeway: "Good grief, you're right. How could I not have seen that? Get the gang back in here quick!"

Doesn't seem likely somehow, does it? So why does he keep doing it?

Q: What happened to the blue nighties?

My friend Sybil pointed out to me that all the women in Trek seem to wear frilly pink or peach nighties, even those for whom this is distinctly out of character. Well, I have come up with a theory. I reckon the men nicked all the blue ones. Aww, come on, don't you think Paris would look cute in a frilly nightie?

Q: What do you get if you assimilate Odo?

Terminator 2
Nanoprobe soup
An infinitely adjustable spanner
Intelligent lube

Q: If the crew of Voyager were dogs, what dogs would they be?

This question was inspired by the BBC, who replaced the regular showing of Voyager with Crufts (a dog show). Of course, it also gave me an excuse to include one of Kiera's fabulous virtual pets. (If you want to see more, click on the picture, it's linked to her site).

Kathryn Janeway: Corgi (red coated of course)
Seven of Nine: Saluki
Tuvok: Doberman
Chakotay: Labrador
Tom Paris: Jack Russell
Harry Kim: Pomeranian
The Doctor: Wiemeraner
B'Elanna Torres: Yorkshire Terrier (Seriously, they can be MEAN).
Samantha Wildman: Rough Coated Collie (Lassie dog).
Naomi Wildman: Whippet
Neelix: Pekinese
