Also a final opportunity to emphasize anything that went well in the interview, or downplay/explain anything that didn’t.

Anyone who’s judgementally dismissing applicants for not sending a thank you is an asshole, but this does not change the fact that sending a thank you is a good idea if you actually want to get the job.

I’m with you, Star Trek V is a good time. The closest you’ll get to an episode of TOS translated to the big screen.

Nemesis is the one I’d pin as the bottom of the barrel.

Whale hunting quietly abated after word of a giant gravity-defying demon bird started making its rounds...

Picard as Professor X?

I dunno, I just can’t picture it…

  • Superman - Picard (idealistic morality, raised in an agrarian setting)
  • Batman - Worf (dead parents, emotional regulation issues, practically a cop)
  • Wonder Woman - Troi (emotionally grounded, domineering royal mother)
  • Aquaman - Riker (best with a beard)
  • Flash, Cyborg, and Green Arrow I'll leave as in the meme (although isn't that last spot usually held by Green Lantern?)

Here's the old Joshua Bell FAQ explanation:

"So can you take things off of the Holodeck?"

Yes. Any object replicated on the Holodeck may leave. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard to tell what is replicated, and what is not. Snow, such as the snowball thrown by Wesley in "The Naked Now" is easily replicated, and dampness is hard to simulate. The book thrown by Picard in "Ship In A Bottle" [TNG] would be easily simulated by force beams and thus was not replicated.

The paper in "Elementary, Dear Data" [TNG] was likely simulated until the computer realized that it was going to be carried off the Holodeck, at which point it would have been seamlessly replaced with a replicated copy.

Fair enough, that is pretty solid logic. I’ll leave the heartfelt meme alone now.

That's a very good point, but I feel like it would just lead to an argument about which series (DS9) is somehow objectively "best" (it's DS9), and that's really not the sort of argument I'm here to start (because it's obviously DS9).

True, early TNG would be a better fit. And I get that having any other series in the leftmost spot feels wrong.

Still, I'd have to go with:

  • TNG = Leonardo
  • DS9 = Donatello
  • VOY = Michelangelo
  • ENT = Raphael

Order sorted chronologically, though, there’s a decent argument to be made fitting each member’s personality.

I just clicked in specifically to chastise you for assigning TNG to Mikey of all turtles!

No, he’s a good boy. My pup would have pulled that boot right off and ran away with it.
