      Ok, I think I figured it out…

      spoiler

      Holden waiting for the collapse of the ring gate system, and time dilation causes some weird timey wimey, so he found the one and only person in all of human history who could help him get another cup of coffee before the explosion

        So is this going to be three-stooges protocol? ::: spoiler you inject him with borg nanites and then the borg nanites and the protomolecule fight each other to a standstill and Holden remains a human though on the precipice? :::

    • He put match heads in because all he had was shit coffee and sulfur makes bad coffee taste less bad. Would he intentionally replicate crappy coffee?

      This post reminds me that, in the book, Holden was much older than TV Holden. Steven Strait made up for it, though; he was a really good Holden.

      Also, I don’t think Holden would get along with Janeway. She’s too ethically fluid. He’d get along much better with Picard; ethically, they’re both relatively uncompromising.

        I still get cravings for absolute crap I ate in college. If I had a replicator it’d still be making the occasional totino’s party pizza and cup-o-noodle.

        • Yeah, but you eat that stuff because it tastes good. It’s simple carbs and salt; nutrition doesn’t factor into it.

          I’m not sure that’s the same as intentionally choosing bass coffee that you have to modify to make it drinkable, when you have actually good copy available.
