“No, Captain. When I say tomorrow, I mean tomorrow. I don’t exaggerate.” - B'Elanna Torres, such a fucking badass.

"You didn't tell him how long it will really take?" Scotty

Of course he didn't! He already did it yesterday

Doing it faster doesn't take a miracle - it takes flooding deck seven with deadly fluorine gas.

Do you need this done more than those people need to breathe? Serious question. I have the button right here. Tell you what, you press it when you're ready.

Wasn't there an episode where they said it would take like 24 hours and they were told you have 12 so the tech replied with "that's now how it works sir it will take 24 hours"

I remember that at the beginning of Voyager. Janeway tries that on B'elana and she responds with something similar.

That's from Stargate SG-1. The conversation is between Hammond and Siler.

The actor who portrayed him was also RDA's stunt man in both SG-1 and MacGyver.

It became a lot more obvious when RDA greyed and Dan Shea didn't.

If you want to skip the validation cycle, we can have it done in 18, but we'll have a high chance of blowing up.

Under promise, over deliver. A true engineer.

Tbh I don't get these kind of memes, as far as I remember picard never really gives a deadline, just asks for it as quick as possible, with geordi busting his ass every time to try to get it done, regardless of whether or not it's actually possible.

And, in those situations, I really don't think picard is being unreasonable. When your options are "do the tech thing" or "have long odds at pulling something else off", asking for the tech thing as quickly as possible sounds pretty reasonable to me

Idk I'm overthinking a meme

Honestly, that is why Picard is such a great captain.

He trusts the capability of his crew, and let them do their jobs instead of micromanage. They know what is at stake and what deadline is possible.

Stargate was so notorious for this that it became a running joke in Atlantis.

I guess we'll have to time travel again

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Time-travelling to get your job done in time? The Enterprise sounds stressful...

Picard isn't an idiot and knows it doesn't take long to rotate a crystal.

All you gotta do is poke it with a stick and it'll be "repositioned"
