/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.

Basically the title. They're going to encounter animals they've never seen before, or notice a complete lack of familiar animals. They're going to notice the none of the plants are the same, and that there aren't any domesticated plants other than what they may be carrying. They might try to go back the way they came and find it impossible.

“Is this a two-parter?”

“No, we don’t do those.”

“What do we do with this B-plot guy that saw the ship? We’ve got a whole thing going on with his story that could go to some interesting places. How should we handle that?”

“Just kill him.”

“Should we re-write it and just take that part of the plot out?”

“Nah, just have him off himself or something.”

In Arizona you can go from Sonoran Desert to forest tundra in as little as 45 miles. Anyone who grows up in Phoenix and vacations in Flagstaff knows the sensation of feeling like you've entered a different world several times along the way.

Picard wanted them dead, so they got a good deal.

Paul Sorvino's misguided plan was well intended, but doomed to fail.

And then there's the poor schmuck who wandered in from the holodeck.

Couldn't grasp such radical notions. The rest of the tribe would likely react about the same.

I had a similar realization when rewatching 03x04 Who Watches The Watchers. Those Mintakans would eventually realize they are unrelated to every other life form on the planet.

They might even have legends of a man in the sky promising them a new world, now a theory to be wholly supported by the biological record x_x
