/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.

Minutes after Neelix chucks Michael Jonas into a plasma fire, thus disintegrating Michael Jonas, he's cracking jokes with Tuvok. That's like Khan Noonien Singh levels of cold if you stop and think about it. What does that jovial exterior actually hide?
Everyone forgets how Neelix came to be on the Voyager. He was a genocide survivor, a lone wanderer in Kazon space, with a ramshackle little ship. You've got to be tough like a badger or an Ewok to survive a life like that. And the first thing he did when he met this powerful ship of desperate people with technology and capabilities beyond his understanding was to trick them into rescuing his sweetheart for him. He's got balls.
He was also dating a 2 year old. Fuck neelix.
Yeah, they flanderized him so hard he immediately lost all of his history and impact on the ship. Suddenly hes the "smelly food clown" guy.
Motherfucker was a key navigator, negotiator, guide and scavenger. He is the main reason Voyager survived its first years at all, but they did him so dirty everyone hated him throughout the show.
He did such a good job of pretending to be inoffensive and harmless that the writers themselves were fooled.
I immediately recognized the screenshot since I watched this episode a couple days ago. On a re-watch of everything starting from ToS that I started a couple of years ago, now (I've taken a few big breaks. Voyager is a slog.) How crazy coincidental is that?
No one seems to ever suffer permanent trauma in Star Trek. O'Brian should by all accounts be practically catatonic after the events of Deep Space 9. Good therapy and drugs I suppose.
In fairness, there was a whole episode of ds9 about obrien struggling with his trauma.
Maybe their therapy techniques are as advanced as their other forms of medicine?
The only ruthless thing here is how ruthlessly efficient the Voyager writers were. A multi-episode crewman traitor arc without any of the messy logistics of determining if or how they could confine him to the brig for years? Jonas didn't even get the Suder treatment.
I forgot to include a picture of him minutes afterwards:
"Hey this murder thing actually feels pretty good. We should do this again some time."
He's just a Ferengi in deep cover.
Everyone in Star Trek has PTSD, and also TSD. Their ability to “move on” is core to their ability to do the job. I wonder how Troi manages her schedule without being overbooked.
Everyone in Star Trek has PTSD, and also TSD.
And pre-TSD from thinking about all the away missions and the horrors those entail.
Reg Barclay is the most real person on TNG no doubt.
that's because the whole show is a holonovel that reg is participating in. he's literally the only real person.
I thought that Enterprise. Except Riker is the participant.
You must have missed the extended scene on the limited edition laser disc where after Riker does that, Barklay enters on the side and says "computer, end program"
didn't he try to have sex with Riker first?
Try assumes that he failed
That's just regular old anxiety
Do they lay awake at night thinking of all the individuals who died in the starships they destroyed?
Me erasing all the starship to starship combat memories:
