Has Star Trek ever acknowledged hypospray addiction?
post
Someone should introduce her to caffeinated gum.
Miles and Julian were impressed with gum by itself. Imagine Janeway's face when she is introduced to it. I bet Katy would set up a transporter cycle to swap out her gum on the regular just to keep the caffeine flowing in.
Gotta do it the fun way:



Which episode is this?
Strange New Worlds s1e5 "Spock Amok"
Great diplomacy and hijinks.
Is that the one where her and Number One run around doing crazy shit, or the one where they all get turned into Vulcans (and gain logic somehow without any of the work) but she goes full paranoid Romulan?
Aunt Kathy is the kind of person who’d have a fun addiction in an age where 99.99999% of people don’t even know about gum…
Speaking from experience, you may as well just take pure caffeine pills. But the more you strip away the ritual and nonfunctional aspects, the less Trek-friendly it is. They just don't do performance enhancing drugs, it goes against their ethos.
