Persistent, Niggling Questions

So I'm on a Star Trek clip binge on YouTube and I get to Doc's ECH fantasy...


PNQ: Would a Vulcan Nerve Pinch really work on a drone?


The basic principle of the VNP is that humanoids have a neural cluster at the base of their necks that can be physically influenced. However, a Borg drone would not rely so much on said neural cluster, most signals would go through their implants.



Maybe I'd buy that a Vulcan can use their touch telepathy through a VNP (Spock was able to communicate with a few aliens at short range without physical contact) to knock out a drone because they can "change the frequency" to make contact, but not a hologram.

Miles and Keiko get married.


In the comments a lot of people expressed dislike for Keiko...


PNQ: What was wrong with Keiko?


To me Keiko's only mistake was pushing the kelp and seaberries. You just can't expect a man of Mile's age to completely change their diet on a dime.



Maybe these viewers are so fixated on the fairytale version of marriage that they hate anything less.


Or is it something as simple as "why am I watching domestic squabbles when this show is supposed to be an escape from my own domestic squabbles"?
