does anyone but starfleet think it makes sense for military vessels to come equipped with a full-service bar at all much less right in the bow of the ship
#a lot of incoherent things about the design and personnel complement of the enterprise-d#but a major one is 'send our flagship into parts unknown leading with a fully staffed bar and lounge'#just imagining various non-federation reactions to the realization that the likes of ten forward are not just absurd media tropes#that the federation really is just like that#klingon vessels have mess halls but not BARS. like not even the klingons#not even the klingons!#and can you imagine a romulan commander tolerating like. smooth jazz night at the club. on her warbird.#no! no you cannot! because it is insane!#anyway brought to you by my morning thoughts of laris on the verity#(if you have defected and find yourself on a ship with a BAR in its nose you might as WELL just fall into bed with the erstwhile-enemy XO#if everything else is a deranged fever dream and you have no hope of ever regaining touch with a reality you recognize: WHY NOT!)#anyway.#stor trakk
