TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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. 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.

Oh I fully appreciate the sex appeal. Crass as the idea is to boost ratings by casting a bombshell in a bone tight catsuit, credit where credit's due it worked. A lot of TVs got tuned to UPN to look at that silver vinyl suit.
Turns out Seven was a massively important character; she got to do a lot of very important Star Trek stuff. Star Trek is at its very best when it's exploring the human condition and often does so with a human adjacent character who is on the edge looking inward at humanity: Spock the human/vulcan hybrid. Data the android. The Emergency Medical Hologram. And Seven of Nine the former borg.
There's some clumsy men writing women stuff in there but she has a lot of smaller moments where she slams up against the subtleties of human communication; As a borg she's as diplomatic as a rifle cartridge and as subtle as her costume. The best stuff with Seven is her fairly unique position in the franchise as a cult escapee. She deals with some heavy shit, the trauma of being assimilated as a child, growing up in the collective and then being taken from it.
And Jeri Ryan did a world class job at bringing the character to life.
