/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.

But have you seen THIS one before?
I have not
Heh unsure if people ever watch Drawn Together but looks awfully like how they make the pickachu analog say nipple... Though sounds more like neepul. But depending on accent fairly close.
I have a wide range of tv entertainment I enjoy from thought provoking to Star Trek Next Generation Season 1 to well robot chicken and the like. To be fair I've had good laughs and enjoyment in what fits in each types regardless of show. Nothing beats a good skant outfit mind you.

If it's Riker: Aww you're sweet
If it's Geordi: Hello HR?!
Has Riker made holograms of real people to smooch with? Because "using the holodeck for sexytimes" isn't the problem; everyone does that. It's the "using real people" that's the problem. Same reason people were creeped out or offended when Barclay did it.
Yes:
What real person?
A human-like alien woman named Kamala who is an empathic metamorph, meaning she can read the unconscious desires and preferences of her mate to be their ideal partner emotionally, intellectually, and sexually. She's at the stage in her life where she's reaching full sexual maturity (about 27, given the actress' age) and producing huge amounts of pheremones. She had to be brought out of stasis early, and while Riker is taking her to quarters, she begins to imprint on him and tries to seduce him. That GIF is from about 5 seconds after he rejected her while looking like it physically hurt to say no.
The episode is an ethical dilemma episode about arranged marriage as diplomacy.
Oh I mean he's definitely gonna head to the holodeck to jerk it, but he probably just uses a stock character. He seems in too much of a rush to feed a real person's data into the computer and tweak the settings and everything. As we saw with Janeway and her Irish caricature guy, tweaking the settings is a long process.
None of that matters though, it's very clear what the narrative is implying.
She wasn't the worst.
... Okay, she was 3rd worst.
Ha ! Sad that it didn’t animated 😢
Here you go friend:
Maybe you should ask Guinan why treating women who you feel are attainable like they are misbehaving machines hasn't landed you a daughter-wife yet.
... I'... I'm scared to ask...
...Wh wh... what's a ... "daughter-wife"?
