I can't help but notice this is command watching a doctor and an engineer.

They are definitely TOS era uniforms, so that's a (soon to be dead) security officer watching a doctor and a command officer.

I knew some nerd would show up to go TOS on this. But there are no wavy stripes on the cuffs. Nerd.

Now they are explaining to a doctor what they are doing. Like he, a medical professional, doesn't know.

And that's how new Star Trek cadets are made.

This is what I involuntarily picture when a couple tell me.

Does this happen to you often? My impression is people usually tell you after they’ve succeeded.

In China people are pretty honest about it being the time of the month or trying for a baby. As a father myself, my friend and colleague just told me they were trying. I just never went through the experience of 'trying'. My wife and I just conceived randomly and immediately we went 'Yes let's keep it!' No regrets.
