/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. 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. 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.

So in the episode, I just realized that Weasley thrown a holographic snowball outside of the holodeck and it hit Picard, how? What magic is that? Or is it just because it's so early in the series or just what? I must have a explanation (silly or cannon) for it happening...

My head canon comes from the Steve Shives video about holodecks.

As holodecks use a combination of hologram and replicator technology you can suppose that when they were first installed on the Enterprise they would fully replicate simple objects that people were likely to interact with, such as the snowball Wesley threw or the piece of paper Data carries off. When Picard got hit in the face with a snowball, maybe he told engineering "hey this is unsafe and inappropriate for the flagship of Starfleet, can we get that changed?" Since it was a fairly low-level ticket or maybe because it was a tough fix, it took them a while to get it implemented. So for a while you may see the odd object carried off the holodeck, but by the time of "Ship in a Bottle" that issue has long been solved and nothing can be taken off the holodeck.
