TenForward, when the memes dropped.

Reminds me of that time Troi is discussing language in the ready-room with the captain, and suddenly uses some non-english word(s) for a cup... it always makes me think: why wouldn't the universal translator just translate those words too?

This is a good Daystrom question: Did Dr. Soong speak Terran?

In the event the universal translator broke, Data would have to interpret for everyone.

And now this makes me wonder about T-V distinction in Starfleet. I'm sure there are regulations for that and Picard being the captain, kind of gives him the "right" to tutoyer everyone on the ship while still needing to vouvoyer admirals.

Weirdly my native language is French but I have always only seen Star Trek in English so I don't know how they dub it. Somehow I would have thought that everyone would be formal, polite and use vous, but maybe the captain can say tu to other people. Or he's very friendly with Riker.

Data can speak and understand every language, so he definitely wouldn't be beeping and booping.

I either know or am in the process of learning every language in this meme, including the title, LOL.

As a person with French as their first language, I make a face whenever JLP speaks French... I always find it a weird choice when they have non-English characters on shows in English but don't use actors of that origin...

Excuse me. Troi is Riker's beard. I thought that was canon.

Discovery has that episode
