Wasn't always the case.

Thought it looked familiar. Point still stands.

This is a horse girl.

Ahh yes. The episode where Picard shoots a terrorist in the leg with a crossbow, leaves another to die of their own stupidity whilst gloating about it to the Starbase, and then ends on a Mister Ed reference.

Yep, the beginning of P-Stew's late game "Action hero" phase.

Don't forget, he also removed the stabilization unit that resulted in the shuttle explosion taking out the "Hanz Gruber" type main villain.

Oh yeah, I forgot he actively removed it. That's what I was referencing lol. "All I know is... they won't get very far." All this episode was missing was a scene of Picard crawling through a jefferies tube in one of those Voyager-style tank tops.

And he had to run barefoot across a room full of broken transparent aluminum. All the while the only person who takes him seriously is a lowley security officer to skittish to fire a phaser, talking to him through a communicator

While it would technically be too large, I imagine they could temporarily modify the saddle at one of the larger industrial replicators. Give it a cutout at an appropriate location. Change it back to its original state after.

There was a music video promo/demo by some up n coming rapper named DayDay I think.

The only lyrics I can remember where "If your driver needs a rider" something something "I'm my backseat". He looked like a crossover between Geordi LaForge (complete with the visor looking eyewear) and Lady Gaga. The dude was clearly as gay as the day is long because I it was supposed to be a euphemism for anal sex.

The video has long since been scrubbed from the Internet, but it you can find it or know if it please do share it!

EDIT: holy bejeesus I looked for this a couple times over the years and only got old outdated links with "video not found". But thanks to the WayBackMachine...
