/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'

Fun will now commence.

I just saw Star Trek Enterprise Season 4 Episode 18: 'In A Mirror Darkly' and I noticed that someone that looks vaguely like Karl Marx leads the mob to raid the Vulcan ship.
Also on another note .... what the hell kind of fever dream did the writers drift into with this side story that lasted a few episodes? They just come out of left field for no apparent reason.
We definitely align on favorite ENT characters. As for Weyoun, like with Kai Winn, hating them meant they did their job well.
I like segments of DISCO, like how season 2 was just an elongated backdoor pilot for SNW. That last season though... yeesh.
That was the thing about DS9 .... the acting and writing was so good.
Even the villains like Weyoun and Kai Winn are great and memorable because you dislike them so much ... even characters like Dukat ... or questionable allegiances like Quark or Garak
The main DS9 cast was made greater because the villians were so good ..... when you think of it, it's what made Batman so good because the villains were so memorable ... Batman is nothing without the Joker .. Superman is nothing without Lex Luther ... or with the X-men series of having Professor X and Magneto.
That was the problem with ENT, it was too moralistic against faceless enemies .... there was never a real story as to why they had enemies ... bad guys were just there and played no real memorable role in anything. It was like watching Batman fighting random thugs and there is never any Joker.
VOY had a similar problem. Tried the Kazon, the Vidiians, the Hirogen, a few one-offs, and then back to the Borg once the Queen concept had been established. The main goal of reaching home over such a distance left them leaving behind any credible ongoing threats. Why else create the transwarp network if only to allow the Borg to become a consistent nuisance?
