"Old money" vs. "New money" is a particularly American concept, though.

AFAIK California doesn't require a license for ebikes.

Throw in the fan theory that Disney's version takes place thousands of years in the future.

They also put children on the ship, so maybe the admiralty isn't so smart.

On the other hand, the few things they do know about him includes that he disobeyed orders cancelling the Farpoint mission, declared red alert in drydock, and that he has conversations with letters of the alphabet.

You mean like... speaking to someone in the same room? While they're looking at you? With their eyes?!

Goofy at the bottom

From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.

Don't forget the Snake game.

The thing that gets me about this episode is how it compares to All Good Things.

In AGT there's a scene where Picard is in the past on the bridge and he's ordering them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship, and for which he gives no good reason. The crew reasonably objects, and Picard launches into an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech about how awesome the crew is. And the crew goes along with it.

Contrast this with the scene in Allegiance where "Picard" orders them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship and for which he gives no good reason. "Picard" assures them with an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech. And the crew mutinies.

While it's true that in Allegiance the crew were already suspicious, it's also true that in the AGT scene the crew didn't know Picard well enough to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Of Biblical Proportions (startrek.website)

An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

"You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

"Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.

I have no sympathy. Companies that require class action waivers and mandatory arbitration clauses don't get to complain when thousands of people file arbitration claims simultaneously.
