/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.

Behind you!
He's just a humble tailor, no reason to add him here.
Plain, simple Garak…
Just a random background character.
He wouldn’t provide a picture, and somehow nothing turned up on his file. He said there weren’t any photos of him. Odd guy, but he made me a beautiful shawl for my trouble…
Gay assassin spy with daddy issues who is also an excellent tailor.

This does Jake dirty.
He eventually becomes a war journalist whose stories will be read (after the conflict, thanks to Weyoun) quadrantwide.
Wesley turned into a space hippie and fucked off forever.
I also think it's a little harsh on Odo, lol. Someone has to do his job.
It's what Quark called him in The Ascent.
Yeah I don't like it but I do struggle to argue against it. He cares about justice, and wanted to make sure bajorans got fair treatment (in his area, at least) under the cardassians. But then again he worked for them.
Likewise he got a bit anti-"solid" racist from time to time and had a vaguely sexual relationship with the female founder, but then went back the link, calmed them all down and kind of stopped the war.
I feel like it's one step forward but then also at least one step back.
Still my favourite character so I guess I'm just a hypocrite lol
Complex characters in complex situations make the writing more interesting to me too.
ACAB. Abolish the space police.
An episode with Quark leading a protest like that on the promenade would have been amazing.
His job of always helping the fascist oppressor side? Because that's what he continuously does.

Like many middle-aged hippies who lose their way, Wesley eventually became a cop.

I tried to ask Morn about his archetype, but the guy never shuts up! I couldn't get a word in edgewise!
I’m offended by “involuntary celibate”
Bashir’s celibacy is entirely voluntary due to his pursuits of Miles and Garak
I want Miles x Bashir to be cannon so bad. I get that Miles is a married father, so a divorce might not be easy for him, but a fling? A sultry night out with the boys? Pleaseeee :3
Nah! Divorce is unnecessary, just make them a throuple! Let Keiko have her fun too :)
Keiko already had her fun on Bajor.
Who says the fun has to stop at Bajor! Just let everyone have one huge orgy on Deep Space Nine. It can be the sex party space station! 🤣

Anyone who gets to date Leeta is not involuntary anything.
and Dax, especially Ezri.
You remember how they had a picture of hitler with a bunch of different hairstyles and beards in order to know what he might look like in a disguise if he tried to flee? Now i want one of Dukat in the same style.
Same picture:
"One ticket from Nürnberg to Buenos Aires" had me rolling on the floor. Excellent!
Seconded, what a line
I feel like TNG, DS9, and VOY all had a specific way to mix character attributes.
Like Data wants to be human, Odo wants to be human, Tuvok and Seven are both made to be human.
Worf, Belana and Worf have anger management issues that require other characters to quell.
Harry Kim, Weasley, and Jake are all struggling to fit in.
Picard, Sisko, and Janeway are so competent that it gets in the way.
Broccoli, broccoli, and Miles are all tortured.
Q, Nelix, and Quark are all alien perverts.
Odo, Seven, and Data all have over powered abilities.
Jordie, Old man, and Kes all have less useful powers.
These mixes, allow a good variety of stories to be told, often which ask similar questions using new characters. I know you've all thought about this before.
Odo, Seven, and Data all have over powered abilities.
Bashir sighs with relief that nobody’s caught on

That is so speciesist that i'm reporting you to Humanoid Resources.

I miss that department before it was just Odo disguised as the table.
"Why are there two tables in this office?"
A lot of the non-human characters are following the Spock blueprint, which I appreciate: the fish-out-of-water who needs to fit in, while plotlines do the Gene Roddenberry "we celebrate our differences" thing.
Yeah, I agree, they're all kind of breaking up and riffing on attributes of the original 3.
Oh god this hit me at the right moment, as soon as I hit Dukat I just fell apart in a mad cackle.
Yelled when I read O'Brien
"larceny gremlin" is my favorite
