/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

As much as I like ragging on some Star Trek series, at least they're not Stargate series.
Stargate had this thing where they pretended to be extremely serious but in reality they were about as serious as their spiritual predecessors Sliders and Quantum Leap.
I guess you haven't watched SG then. They are just at the right level of taking themselves seriously and taking the piss.
Some episodes are very serious, others are pure silliness.
I mean, they had some pretty serious moments. But the villains were cartoonishly villainous.
Unlike this guy.
Oh he absolutely is. But when it comes to a competition of who channels classic moustache twirling hijinx the best, I think Apophis takes the cake.
It has to be so much fun to be an actor playing a Goa'uld. Forget subtlety, canonically your character is truly irredeemably evil by nature, born with the memories of a thousand Hitlers. As an actor, you just get to let it all out and let the evil freak flag fly. I bet Peter Williams had an absolute blast.
