/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.

Ah, the episode where no one recalls the A plot, because the B plot is... well:
It's something to do with...
The wildest part of the A plot is when they discover the clones, Riker takes one look, says "uh nope" and summarily vaporizes the lot of them.
Yeah, seems a bit extreme. Even with the Federation's policy toward that sort of thing, he's kinda just murdering.
It's very TOS in its "judge jury and executioner" mentality, but seasons 1 and 2 were like that sometimes.
And yet everyone is on Sisko's ass for making one teeny little planet uninhabitable.
I think it was the Irish planet died and the stuffy clone planet was running out of genetic diversity. So then Picard told the Irish and clones to live on the same planet and fuck. The clones were like ew, and the Irish women were like sure.
