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'

That the Christopher Pike character from The Original Series was played by Jeffrey Hunter
His portrayal in this role appeared in the first episode to be filmed in the 1965 pilot episode of the series. This episode was rejected at first and a new first episode was reshot and recast with William Shatner.
The Christopher Pike character was reimagined by reusing the footage of the original pilot episode in the later episodes of 'The Menagerie' in 1966. The Christopher Pike character in the beep chair from these episodes was played by a different actor.
In later years, the Christopher Pike character was often referenced in later movies and as a main character in the modern series 'Discovery' and 'Strange New Worlds' where he is played by Anson Mount.
The original actor Jeffrey Hunter would never live to see any of this fame or notoriety of his original character because he tragically died in 1969 from a movie stunt accident when he was 42 years of age, four years after he had appeared as the original Christopher Pike. He never lived to see the fame and popularity of the Star Trek franchise or the character that he had originally played.
It's one of the saddest things I ever discovered about the actors and people that were part of the whole Star Trek franchise.
Love it. Was hoping to see this one. Begat the original "First episode" argument.
And in that pilot, Leonard Nimoy's Spock character hadn't yet been decided to be emotionless, thus even though they tried to reuse as much footage as they could from the pilot in TOS (to save costs:-), they had to be careful to not ruin that carefully built up cannon for him.
