Star Trek Discovery Kind of Forgot There Were No Replicators in the 23rd Century

  TAS and Discovery both showed the Enterprise has food synthesizers rather than replicators.

  How significant is the difference? — it’s never made clear but picking up a meal from a food synthesizer is implied in TOS when Kirk gets a simple meal from a wall.

  Also, it does seem that SNW’s food synthesizer is much more sophisticated than the one in TAS and Discovery, fabricating better quality basic materials.

  Here’s compilation I made a while ago, of Scotty’s distain for the mayhem caused when the ship’s main computer gets hit by a ‘spatial anomaly’ and interacts with the ‘Rec Room’ 3D holographic simulator in TAS ‘The Practical Joker.’

    I love it, but can I petition for release of the image of Scotty getting buried under an avalanche of bananas, grapes, and sandwiches, please? I need it for reasons.

      It’s available as a BlueRay screencap from TrekCore…

      Might be best to download directly from there:

    Isn’t it in SNW that someone says something about eating their own processed piss?

    Or I think it’s the admiral talking while negotiating at federation HQ in the last DIS season, so after the time travel and burn.

      In Discovery, in the 32nd century, Admiral Vance makes the point that all the food at Federation headquarters is made from reconstituted waste.

  Don’t blame Disco for an Enterprise retcon

    The food replicators converted energy directly into food the same way transporters convert a person from matter into energy and then back again. What he was describing was a completely different type of process likely mechanical and chemical in nature.

    Note he did not say one of the things they turned waste into was food.

      Enterprise is the one Trek show I haven’t managed to finish, so I’ll have to take your word for it. I always assumed “food” was getting glossed over with that bashful “you name it”.
