/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.

We need some type of punctuation that conveys contempt.
"My child."
-As said by Winn Adami
“My child 🙃"
That is a statement or a buzzword. We need some kick ass punctuation. It would quickly become more popular than the !.
how about italicization?
My child.
-Kai Winn Adami
She is one of the best characters though. That doesn't mean she's likable but she creates conflict which is interesting/entertaining.
You are absolutely correct! If you want engagement post a Kai Winn meme 😂
That's one sore spot for every one, even people who are long time lurkers on any platform will have an opinion on that character. I myself would normally just have a sensible chuckle, or a brief exhalation of amusement...but when anyone brings up Kai Winn, I too must voice my opinion
100% It reminds me of the piece of shit kid from The Strain. Even having me hate them is an achievement. Having a person actually feel or care strongly about a character is not easy to do.
Now I'm trying to come up with a show involving only likeable characters.
Just brave heroes, funny sidecharacters and hot villains.
The Fifth Element
Nurse Rat Shit! She really is phenomenal at portraying unbearable characters.
She is one of my favorite characters, too. She's one of the best most vile repulsive idiotic and self-righteous characters in TV history.
She made a career of it. Back in the 70s, she won an Oscar for the equally evil Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
She's so interesting too, because she does genuinely believe that her actions are for the good of Bajor. I don't know if this makes her sanctimonious air better or worse
Yep, that's what I meant by self-righteous. And idiotic.
"You're risking civil war...over a couple of soil reclamators."
She's my favorite story in The Lion, The Witch, And The Audacity Of This Bitch.
Winn Adami is in the running for best Star Trek villain of all time.
Yeah but the top three spots are taken...
- Weyoun 5
- Weyoun 8
- Weyoun 7
The top 50 is somehow all Jeffrey Combs
If your favorite character isn't Morn then you aren't a real fan. That Morn, he'll talk your ear off!
For other "fun" sci-fi Louise Fletcher roles, check out Invaders From Mars, Strange Invaders, and Brainstorm.
She's the Umbridge of DS9
You have that backwards.
from a "oh my god she does so good in that role", yeah i see it. she's so hateable. i can see actors enjoying watching louise fletcher, i mean i do and i have a little community theater experience even though i'm not that great.
my favorite character is odo though. love rene.
Garak, Quark, and Odo were my top 3 (not in that order). I always enjoyed a good Garak episode, but the episode where Quark thinks he's finally out-witted Odo, when Odo had booked the holo-suite for his anniversary with Nerys was one of my favourites
This is a time when the difference between "good" and "well" are important. She did well.
Do we have better words to distinguish between a fictional character and the in-universe character? As in, I really hate the in-universe character Kai Winn, which is why I really love the fictional character of Kai Winn.
Canon/fanon?
I feel like that relates more to official/fanfiction.
She was a big part of the show. Just little more than half evil.
She’s just the best at being the worst.
I loved to hate Louise Fletcher's characters. Nobody did it better.
