/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.

I generally respect Janeway's focused attitude: yeah there are rules, but they can try me for my crimes IN THE FUCKIN' ALPHA QUADRANT goddamnit...
But Tuvix man...
She murdered my boy.
I 100% guarantee if Tuvix looked normal, ST fans would have a very different perspective when it comes to killing him.
We would be cool with his murder?
Unfortunately most ST fans I see openly advocate for the killing of Tuvix.
Openly advocate?
I mean . . . I wouldn't say that.
It's a flawed premise to begin with. Just like the "Shaka, when the walls fell" was a flawed premise. But it gave us an interesting sci-fi episode.
Yes, openly advocate. At least that's what I see whenever the debate comes up.
I want to give some credit to this community, and suggest that some vocal advocates for killing Tuvix are just doing so to wind others up.
Source:
I've advocated that Janeway did nothing wrong. My primary motive is that it annoys my fellow Trek fans. I know I'm wrong, but I'm not even repentant. It's such an interesting discussion, and I enjoy being on the wrong side of it.
It was a difficult situation but I don't think Janeway made the wrong decision.
Neither did Janeway.
What’s a little bit of murder when compared to her other crimes, eh?
She's only doing that because she knows she can't re-integrate the dozens of Harry Kims. All but one of them is already dead.
Janeway looks up in surprise
“There are HOW many Mark I EMHs?”
I hope there are at least fewer Mark II EMHs. One Andrew Penis is enough.
My fan canon now is that because the Prometheus was a prototype testing ship, it was also the prototype Mark II. The source code was stored on that ship’s computer and nowhere else. Then the NX-Prometheus was a sploded during the Dominion War.
All gone!
A dozen timelines and still an ensign in all of them.
As if Janeway didn't commit much worse crimes going back in time to bring Voyager home. Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.
