/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.

Such a shame that David Hyde-Pierce wasn’t in Star Trek. At all.
you mean this isn't him?
No, but I see why you’d think that. That’s J. Paul Boehmer.
(Un)fun fact, he also played the SS Officer in The Killing Game episodes.
So now I'm questioning... Why do the borg bother hailing other ships? They don't care what the other crew has to say. They're just going to assimilate them anyways. It's not like they try to chat people up into surrendering.
I think at this point of the show, they’ve had enough dealings with Captain Janeway that the most pragmatic way to deal with her is to try and keep her talking for as long as possible while they figure out what to do.
WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED... THE JANEWAY
Like in "The Wire" when they shout "Omar comin"?
Maybe that's their bare minimum requirement for determining if a species is worth assimilating? Though I suspect they could probably just scan for energy signatures if they really wanted to.
