VOY 4x10 "Random Thoughts"

I've always interpreted this episode as mocking the parents who claim their kids would be angels if not for video games.

The Mari. Mario. Coincidence? lol

Right but what if in this case that’s what’s going on. She’s trying to protect a highly influential people from exposure to even the concept of violence because they emulate it.

Sure, to some degree, that’s valid. It’s not like i let my kids watch R-rated movies. But, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s n other words, parents need to talk to their kids first and foremost. That has a longer-lasting and more profound effect than micromanaging your child. Plus, you can’t always be there with your children.

/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
