TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I never understood the hate. Misplaced jealousy? I particularly thought the "Shut up, Wesley" episode was full of adults being dicks to a teenager.
I just genuinely dislike such inexplicably, impossibly smart "genius kid" characters who also seem to possess inexplicably, impossibly vast amounts of knowledge and experience that simply cannot have been acquired in however many years they have been alive.
To be fair the show did try to address that a few times. The episode where he's given his first team, for example, showed him needing real advice from real professionals with real experience. But such episodes were rare. Mostly he was just a general-purpose wunderkind who could solve any problem. An acne ridden teenager who came up with very advanced technical solutions where much more experienced experts drew blanks. Not the most fun trope.
Yeah, my issue wasn't with Wesley or with Wheaton. My issue was what a Mary Sue he usually was. They made progress on that front when he was involved in the death of a fellow student performing a dangerous spacecraft stunt, but lost it all and then some when the magic space Native Americans showed up to invite him to Godhood for being the most specialest boy.
I went to school with a guy like that. Not only was he unnaturally smart, he also kicked all our asses at Duke Nukem 3D all of the time. Needless to say, I hate his guts.
INGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
