TNG s6e7 “Rascals”
Basically the reality show “Shauna Rae” with the misadventures of dating a 23 year old trapped in the body of an 8 year old 🤨🤨
Here’s my question, why was the malfunction not replicated and monitized by the Ferangi as a beauty produced? “Look 10 years younger because you will be 10 years younger”
Or when they de aged Pulaski to her “proper” age, they could have just gone a few years younger.
Or when they are aged the people in this episode, maybe only age them into their early 20s.
The transporters open up all sorts of scenarios that they clearly show as possible, but no one ever uses it that way on purpose somehow…
It’s been a while since I saw that episode but weren’t they only able to do that because they had her most recent pattern stored in the buffer or something like that?
Could have used that info a bit earlier.
I like to believe there are strict ethical laws in far future that are actually enforced, and built into the hardware. Like maybe an ethical local AI
I like to believe there are strict ethical laws in far future that are actually enforced, and built into the hardware.
Presumably only powerful people and Section 31 are allowed to use transporters to stay eternally young…heh.
But like everyone has the technology. I’m highly skeptical Ferengi would stand in the way of de-aging out of an ethical concern.
Ah yes, the best quote out of context:
I mean, of course you’re my wife. But you’re also ten years old.
He’s nuts over her.
Considering transporters are like 200-year-old technology by that point they fail a surprising amount of times.
Can you imagine if cars occasionally transported you to alternate dimensions, would we all just be fine with it? “”
I mean cars do occasionally just burst into flames
Considering aeroplanes are like 100-year-old technology by this point they fail a surprising amount of times.
IIRC they even call transporters “the safest way to travel” at one point.
Wacky stuff like that seemingly has been normalized over the years.
But the failure rate of transporters is probably low. With all the dangers of driving (accidents, weather, mechanical failures, etc) people still seem to have no issues driving
Some people in cars get yeeted into non-existence, at least the alternate dimensions have cool moustaches.
Where is Craig he’s late for work?
Craig texted to say he is at work and everyone’s evil except the HR lady, so he thinks he might be in the mirror universe
Bruh that was definitly my pick for weirdest and most awkward episode
Even worse than the planet of awful African stereotypes?
Right? People complain about “Spock’s brain”, while this is staring them in their eyes.
Wait … can they still fuck? Or is it problematic now? How old is she? Are mental age and physical age the same thing in this scenario? Does she still have her memories?
Woody Allen really needs these questions answered guys.
Trying to answer this seriously, I’d say no. This is like, a Princess Bubblegum de-aging situation. She has her memories, but her brain and personality is now that of a kid. As opposed to like, Claudia in Interview with the Vampire who is an immortal child that wanted to be treated as the 70 year old woman she was.
But even in the Claudia instance I’d say no because it’s still just too gross. There’s just no getting past the body age thing. I guess I’d say Claudia could probably have a legal right to seek adult experiences (though she would only find sick weirdos), but Keiko and Princess Bubblegum should not.
Heck, even in Adventure Time Bubblegum loses the right to rule because she is too young, despite being a thousand years old or something.

She is one of several characters with who the infamous 4000yo-dragon defense can actually work.
Fantasy: A 4000yo dragon/demon Sci-fi: Transporter accident.
Wife: Would you still love me if I am de-aged accidentally by transporter?
Me: …
“We haven’t lost everything Miles, you can still work engineering miracles, and I can still criticize you for not being home often enough.”
Even Molly is like “I can’t take their shit anymore”
Sometimes relationships do be like this though.
