No TNG was definitely a full ensemble cast. I think people say that because Data is an obvious analog of Spock. But if this analogy is to hold, who is McCoy? Riker? Crusher? It doesn't make sense.

I think they just held onto the TOS traditions of strong captain as the lead with a Spock-like character and diverse remaining cast. But TNG had more space to work with the non-lead actors than TOS did partially because it had TOS's world building as a foundation.

Literally why I'm single and plan to stay that way.

I would imagine something similar to the worst of the Byford Dolphin decompression accident, which was a torso and large limbs crushed to the point of being almost unrecognizable with internal organs and some chunks of soft tissue separated from the body. Photos of that exist and you can find the relevant research paper by googling "Byford Dolphin Autopsy," but seriously those pictures are gruesome. In the case of the Titan, because the hull was compromised, large portions of those bodies were probably lost to the sea.

Those are the best characters though. They learn and change so much.

Most 70 year olds don't have paper thin skin. 70 is not as old as you think. (90 year olds, on the other hand...)

So many people have been well-trained to believe they receive no benefit from their tax dollars at all. Because excellent government services are quiet, like NWS, NOAA, NIST, USGS, NHSTA, FTC, NPS...

Can confirm, there is a condition that removes the air gap causing a pretty much continuous UTI. (Colovesical fistula: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/colovesical-fistula#treatment-and-management)
