Scotty also stormed the beaches of Normandy and was lucky enough to get away with a couple of severed fingers, so he can be over 600 pounds for all I care.

Anyway, Tilly so fat that she thinks the Prime Directive refers to how she wants her steak done.

I know they tried to hide it on the show but part of me wishes we had an episode looking at Scotty's past and they reveal he served in some Federation conflict and that's how he lost his fingers.

Kind of like O'Brian and his stint in the Cardassian skirmishes.

There were plenty of opportunities to remove Doohan's/Scotty's right middle finger in-universe (my headcanon would be a finger destruction by Apollo in 'Who Mourns for Adonais?' [0:33]), but I guess that either Hollywood was too squeamish to show missing fingers on camera, or Doohan was not comfortable with showing it.

I recall that it was more "welp, he's an engineer, shit happens when you're engineering hard"

Tilly so fat we can't escape the gravitational pull of Tilly So Fat jokes
 
The worst part is she wasn't even a fat ass at the beginning of the show.

It really boggles the mind how she managed to triple in size, presumably eating the exact same regulation food as the rest of the crew. Unless she was eating like three times more of it than anybody else, which is not a quality I would want in a starfleet officer.

When Starfleet made their motto "To discover new worlds" this isn't what they meant.
 
A tribble issue resulted in Scotty getting showered in bananas and drumsticks and shit from a malfunctioning food synthesiser that one time in TAS.
That implies they actually have stores of perfectly normal fresh food in TOS, and the machine just crushes it all into colourful cubes (sometimes jello) before they eat it.
I must be misremembering, but I think their food is rationed for long missions, so not only Tilly's a freaking glutton, she was putting the rest of the crew in danger of starving as well.
 
They did have "food processors" in TOS: In the tribble episode they had gotten into the machinery and there was a tribble in Kirk's "chicken sandwich and coffee."
Whatever they had in TOS, it was clearly not at the level you could just say "Earl Grey. Hot." and then get that.

Seriously, where was the director who should have insisted she go on ozempic? Sure they can cope and put in some bs canon reason why she was so fat but jfc its Hollywood and its a sci-fi show. If you're in Starfleet and not old or retired, there should be no reason why you're fat.

Ozempic wasn't yet a thing when she got this big, I think. Also, it'd go against their diversity politics to tell an actress to lose weight.

Thing is, many people thought she was pregnant because that'd explain it, but the info on it it's really all over the place. Sonequa Martin Green was pregnant filming Discovery and she didn't gain this much weight.
 
Regarding Sythehol I headcanon numerous reasons why it is a thing

1) Alcohol is combustable ergo letting jilted starship crew create infinite amounts of explosive material probably isn't the best.
2) The horrors of space can drive even the toughest of people to drink, probably for the best that they can't create real alcohol. Imagine an addict with access to replicator that could create infinite booze, they would be dead in days.
3) If everyone could just create real alcohol, There would be no reason for Quarks or 10 forward to exist.

People like to socialise, man. Sure drinking alone or with a couple buds is rad but not quite the same as hitting a lively spot with the din of conversation and threat of violence from hostile alien entities.

Kirk would be saying that to one of those honeys walking around the ship in those skirt uniforms. He didn't need a damn computer to get a beverage.

1. Realistically, the average Starfleet Officer has access to far more dangerous stuff than potentially combustible alcohol. They give phasers out like candy for one thing, and each one of those has a built in self destruct mode standard.

2. As has been formerly mentioned, Guinan and Quark have a limited quantity of the real stuff. They'd presumably have more of if it if the demand was there. (Not gonna lie, I don't really understand how Quark's business works when most of his would-be paying customers don't believe in the concept of money.)

3. Everyone can also just create food as they wish, but people still order at restaurants at DS9 for some reason. This one of course being the best.


Since I'm here, I have a few more.

Tilly so fat, she asked if Data's emotions chip came with dip.

Tilly so fat, Senator Vreenak insisted that a picture of her had to be a
fake.

Tilly so fat, Kirk would not have sex with her

Given Dax's behavior, it's reasonable to assume that Starfleet officers get some kind of per diem- the Federation may not believe in money, but Bajor, Cardassia, and Ferenginar sure as shit do.

You can't properly replicate Klingon food as most of it is still alive when served. Also, singing Klingon chef deserved more than just two appearances.
 
Tilly so fat that her blood was used to create red matter for black holes.

Tilly so fat she has to use the cargo transport pad.
 
The federation doesn't use money because they don't need it, but Starfleet does have their own money for their missions and encounters with societies that require some sort of money.
