/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
I remember hearing/reading at some point that they wanted to make her a re-occurring character, but it got kiboshed by the network because of the costs of doing the low-grav scenes or some other bs.
Little (and current me) loved that episode. They didn't get everything "right" but it still had some steong disability ideals, and that representation of not trusting why people are wanting to help you is so real, because sometimes they really are infantalizing you for no reason and you have to be so firm to get it to stop.
A side note though: a friendly heads up that a lot of people these days prefer to be referred to as wheelchair users instead of being wheelchair-bound. The idea being that mobility devices give freedom, and without them that's when you're bound to a place.
(Edit: I guess if you don't count the kinky wheelchair users the other issue is that nobody is literally bound to their chairs :D)
