Trump should go back to where he came from.

That is to say, Hell.

Garak and Beshir were pretty much the bromance of the 24th century

I mean, the Defiant had internal nacelles. other (alien) ships had internal nacelles. or even just "Warp field maintenance coils" that would allow them to sustain warp until they got far enough away or someplace habitable. But I doubt very much the Saucer would be able to reach someplace safe just carried by "inertia". particularly because the warp drive doesn't seem to actually be the ship moving. (once the warp field collapses, the ship is dead in the water.)

Short answer? probably not. particularly when considering the second paragraph.

"the force" is not a fundamental force as described in physics. Speaking as a fan of Star Wars, don't get me wrong, but The Force™ is bullshit handwavium to explain why the BathrobeRaverSquad can do the things they do. you're not going to find some special force literally or proverbially fictitious that will let someone do the things they do.

If there was, we'd see that in the world today.

All of that said, our understanding of the universe and it's nature is imperfect. It's something we improved incrimentally getting better and more accurate models as we progress. it's certainly possible that there is something new to be found, but it's highly unlikely.

I vote for him, we dump him on one of the floaties in the pacific garbage patch with musk.

because ramming innocent people in giant SUV's isn't satisfying enough.

Yes. Its okay. They can just turn them into instant hostages by separating the saucer section.

That’ll be fine. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

There's very few people I would suggest deserve to have that horror inflicted on them. Trump. hegseth. Theil. Putin, etc. Personally, we should drop them off in the Sargassum seaweed patch. Existential horror mixed with the possibility of contracting flesh eating bacteria.

I don't get why the admiral made such a weird face over it. Surely Admirals had to do PR stuff too; and 'Captains Day' was probably a common thing on any ship with children on board (and probably had to interact with families even when they weren't allowed on board.)

Seriously, that admiral was probably one of the losers that ordered using children as a shield in the first place. I mean, er, allowing families, to uh, be together. on a totally-not-actually-a-warship-that-totally-doesn't-nearly-get-destroyed-every-other-mission ship of exploration.

So. Even if they were lawful combatants and we were at war (neither of which is true,) It is a war crime to issue an order of no quarter. (that is to say, ordering that no prisoners be taken, and that all enemies must be killed.)

it's nazis shit through and through. They're not lawful combatants, and we're not at war. Even if they were smuggling, that doesn't allow them to be blown out of the water with impunity. And they've not been demonstrated to be smuggling, never mind, smuggling into the US.

 

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..
