Here’s the rest of the (long) thread that I cut off for readability, but it’s also pretty funny:

Well this is spectacular!

I always just assumed the “crazy shit for everyone” theory was the case, they just didn’t have the scientific understanding to describe it. 100 years later those crazy descriptions had been analyzed to death.

But I love the Continuing Crazy Adventures of Captain Kirk theory. That one sounds like it is way more fun. Star Fleet is reading these logs and just trying to figure out what to do with Kirk.

I love it. Like they all know him as this overzealous explorer-type with a flair for the dramatic, but he’s bored as hell staring at empty space all day.

Lower Decks basically confirms that everyone is encountering crazy stuff all the time though.

I really like how Lower Decks goes with that last comment and say “yeah, somebody has to shoo those sharks away when the other ones are busy; this are their voyagers”.

If you think of what Data says as the output from an LLM, this tracks. It’s even funnier if you accept that everyone knows and understands that data hallucinates his knowledge sometimes, but he still proves to generally be a good officer.

I’m sure this has other lore implications that invalidate it.

I hate that I can hear Lore saying “…because of the implication.”

We know Kirk did the paperwork for the nebula/virus (I can’t recall exactly) that made people act drunk, tho. Might have done it while still under the effects of it.

What if it’s a portal between the two points in time and space and the crew are really staring at each other thru the portal?

Doesn’t he have to fight the Space Hole’s evil husband, first?
