Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

They did kind of just gloss over the fact Worf was still a Starfleet officer when he assassinated the head of the Klingon Empire.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah well Worf was the one who made that guy the lead of the Klingon Empire years earlier... by killing some other guy.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Worf has dual citizenship and is Klingon nobility, which comes with political duties. So long as he's off the clock and the Empire doesn't get upset about it, he gets a lot of leeway.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah when the communicator badge comes off, it's killing time. When you see Worf without the badge on, best be getting to your quarters and locking the door.

I still don't like Janeway, but yes, FUCK Worf. He's a fuckin fascist petaQ. Remember when his hot girlfriend took him to a sex planet and he reacted by doing some right wing eco terrorism? Remember when he did a war crime and was only let off on a technicality? Worf is a stain on Starfleet AND Klingon honor.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah but he's the second funniest character in all of Star Trek.

He's so full of shit he need prune juice to extrude it

And get accused of cheating when using her 4D temporal chess moves…

[–] wer2@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I never knew people didn't like Janeway.

I took it as a bit, just something to talk about on the internets. You know, the captain that came to drink coffee & kill Tuvix, but quickly ran out of both so she committed some temporal crimes to take the edge off.

Overall a great captain imho.

She was an asshole to Jeri Ryan throughout the Seven of Nine half of the series. She took all her rage at the show’s reversal of ratings fortune out on an actress who was just doing her best.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

Janeway did none of those things

To be fair, murder is how klingons court

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah, even if killing Tuvix somehow wouldn't have been the need of the many (which it was), murdering it was still the right thing to do - even if it wouldn't net out Tuvok, Neelix, and a flower.
Idk why it took her all episode to do it.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think you're going to have to explain your reasoning on that one.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Not separating them means killing both Tuvok and Neelix. Separating them means killing Tuvix. Killing one person to save the lives of two people means prioritizing the needs of two over the needs of one.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 days ago

(I don't actually have much of a personal opinion either way, it's just that I usually see a lot of posts supporting Tuvix & I try to provide a vector for discussion & interaction. It's just fiction, it's fun debating, the available data is very limited, and the choice in the show a deliberately a though one.)

Bcs I wanted the orchid back, it didn't deserve to suffer other of personalities.

And drink coffee while doing it
