This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.

So do Vulcans have books about how to talk to children about emotions?

That does sound like something Tracey would say.

Hitchcock and Scully probably are distracted with the pyramid game in Ten Forward.

I thought Vulcans didn’t believe in time travel?

You’ve not experienced it properly till you’ve seen it in a theater with a few hundred Trekkies.

Hate to disappoint. It was just the cover.

The video states the names are pseudonymous. So the answer would be, no.

…is this the equivalent of masturbation? Because I have questions about the meeting scene in "Facets" where Quark need’s help convincing.

EDIT: I am so sorry. I am pretty high when I posted that. It should sound coherent now.

Here is me at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Hilton. This was 1997 (spring or summer). I got to go on The Klingon Encounter (which may have been the only ride-type attraction at the time). The line to enter was lined with status of Borg (First Contact had just come out the previous November).

This is a memory that I hold dear. It made a huge impact on me. Getting to see a recreation of the Enterprise-D bridge, go on a turbolift, use a transporter (just a rotating wall and lights) and the shuttlecraft (think Star Tours) was so awesome. My mom remembers when we were on the transporter pad, having her hand on my chest and feeling my heart rate increase.

The whole attraction was a mix of video featuring TNG cast and live actors.
