Star Trek Comedian Time Part 2

So, I was watching "The Next Generation" the other day and I couldn't help but think: Why does Captain Picard always seem so calm and collected? Seriously, he's ready to engage the Borg and I'm over here freaking out if I left my oven on! "Engage? I can barely engage with the self-checkout machine!"

You know, the crew on the Enterprise always had each other's backs. They were like a tight-knit family! I wish I had that kind of support. "Hey, Riker, I lost my wallet!" "Don't worry, I'll use the holodeck to simulate a wallet-finding mission!" Meanwhile, my best friend is just like, "Did you check under your couch?"

Now, let's talk about food! Replicators are amazing! You just say what you want and it appears! You know how great that would be for diets? "I'll have a salad." **beep** "And a cheeseburger? Make that two..." Voilà!

But honestly, imagine the nightmares! You'd accidentally request a Klingon meal and find yourself staring down a plate of... whatever that was! And why is it always the Klingons eating the weirdest stuff? Sometimes I wonder if they just take food and think, "How can we make this look as aggressive as possible?"

And can we talk about how many times the crew beams down to a planet only to find they're completely unprepared? I'd be bringing a survival kit like I'm going to a Taylor Swift concert! "Alright team, I've got sunscreen, snacks, and a backup communicator just in case we encounter... *gasp*... a race that doesn't like selfies!"

Speaking of technology, have you noticed how they never seem to have phone issues? "Captain, we've lost contact with the Enterprise!" Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to explain to my phone what a short "hey" means. "Did you mean 'hay'? 'Hey Siri, send help!'"

And what's with the outfit choices?! All these collars and rank insignias—who's designing these uniforms? They look like someone lost a bet at a '70s disco party. Get me a tight jumpsuit for exploring the galaxy, sure, but can I at least have one with pockets? I need somewhere to keep my snacks!

Also, what's with Spock's eyebrows? I could calculate the angle of my next disappointment just by looking at them! I swear that dude's eyebrows are doing entirely too much work. "Your logic is sound, but have you considered that I just want a normal burrito?"

And I love the holodeck, right? But here's a real-life problem: if I could use a holodeck, I'd probably spend all my time recreating non-stressful situations. My program would just be "Grocery Store with Zero Lines." No Klingons, no drama. Just me leisurely picking out avocados and avoiding human interaction... which is the true final frontier!

Alright folks, that's it for me tonight! Remember: if you ever find yourself lost in space... just ask yourself, "What would Captain Picard do?" Spoiler alert: it involves tea... and making it so! Thank you, you've been a great audience! Warp speed ahead to your next adventure!
