    Riker: … I’d like to solve the puzzle …

    THERE ARE FOAM LIGHTS

    Cardassian Sajak: … That’s correct! … You’ve won a trip for two to Risa!

      Are you sure Riker wouldn’t say “there are fuck lights” ? Then wink.

        This is why I would have never won anything on Wheel of Fortune … because I was grasping for an answer and couldn’t find one that made sense … yours is much better.

        Cardassian Sajak would have had me executed and given you the prize … nice one!

    That’s brilliant. Did you come up with that or find it?

      Good explanation of the TNG episode “Chain of Command”:
      https://screenrant.com/star-trek-tng-there-are-four-lights-why-quote-important/

      In short, a Cardassian was torturing Picard, and told him to admit (under torture) that there are 5 lights behind him, when there were obviously 4. Picard refused to break. The meme is playing that out with the “four vs five” word on the bottom left.

        The raw part of that episode is that he did break in the end, but was rescued before he was forced to admit it.

        They handled the truth of torture very well, which is that eventually everyone, even a hardnosed firebrand like Picard, will break.

        Stewart really put those acting chops to work in that one.

    R is already on the board, so there are indeed five lights.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
