/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.

The man has a synthetic heart because he got into a bar fight with a naussican gang over dom-jot. He constantly throws his opponents words back in their face, even to species known for killing people over the same thing. Stood toe to toe against many klingons over the years, sometimes asking them to swing. Some of the most powerful known beings in the galaxy respect him.

Man's a legend.

Time and time again, Romulans tried to goad him into taking the first punch just so they had the excuse to play the victim and start a war. And every time to stared them down beating them with pure facts....and once with cloaked Klingon Warbirds.

This is a man who could win a staring contest against all 4 men carved into Mount Rushmore

It's because she was an empath, not because she was a therapist.

Too bad they didn't know how to write either one though.

Im still disappointed that they gave her telepathy with Riker EP1 and never used it again

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

At least they gave her pants. That first episode uniform was concerning.

I'm assuming that was a legacy choice. It did look ridiculous in a late 80s backdrop, though. I'm also glad they changed it up.

Tell me you show was conceived in late 80’s Hollywood without telling me your show was conceived in late 80’s Hollywood.

Truly a utopian vision of the future.

On the flip side, they also saw that Picard was really naive because Troi had to constantly tell him when the other side was hiding something.

"I have free candy"

Picard: "let's go!

Troi: "hmm they might be hiding something"

Picard: "alright, send Worf, La Forge, and Wesley to check it out. Oh and give Wesley a red shirt, maybe that will change his luck streak"
